Katee Sackhoff on 'Battlestar Galactica'
Katee Sackhoff on 'Battlestar Galactica'
The fourth and final season of "Battlestar Galactica" picks up where the last left off, with most of our major characters questioning the notion of identity.

Foremost are, of course, the four new Cylons revealed last season -- Col. Tigh, Sam T. Anders, Chief Tyrol and the president's assistant Tori (notice a pattern?). Starbuck, suddenly alive, wrestles with the possibility that she's also a Cylon, or perhaps a clone. Baltar, found not guilty of war crimes, tries to find his place among a new group of followers. And Apollo, having sprung Baltar from execution, adjusts to life as a civilian.

TV Review: 'Miss Guided'

TV Review: 'Miss Guided'

TV comedy is not especially healthy right now; not many people would argue with that idea. Given the way ABC is handling its new series "Miss Guided" -- a sweet and charming show starring the wonderful Judy Greer -- I almost wonder if the network even recognizes what a potentially valuable asset it has on its hands. read more »

TV Review: 'John Adams'

TV Review: 'John Adams'

HBO's "John Adams" does its viewers a great service in depicting the sometimes ugly reality of the early years of the United States. It also features several great performances, including Paul Giamatti in the title role, and its period details are spot-on. read more »

TV Review: 'The Return of Jezebel James'

TV critics are a little snow-blind when it comes to Amy Sherman-Palladino's new FOX sitcom "The Return of Jezebel James." You see, like its small-yet-dedicated audience, we all loved "Gilmore Girls." We loved that in an hour, "Gilmore Girls" could be funny, touching, heart-warming and smart. It was a show that defied genre and TV convention. read more »

TV Review: 'Canterbury's Law'

TV Review: 'Canterbury's Law'

After mastering the mixture of character drama and procedural hijinx on shows like "House" and "Bones," FOX has fallen into a bit of a rut. The fall saw the speedy failure of "K-Ville," a drama that wasted fantastic location work and a solid cast in a morass of police banality. The jury's still out on "New Amsterdam," in which a potentially fascinating immortal lead is stuck doing by-the-numbers detective work. Monday (March 10) sees the premiere of "Canterbury's Law," in which a complicated and tortured attorney plies her trade in courtroom sequences that won't ring true even to viewers who know nothing of the law (much less previous network legal shows). read more »

TV Review: 'New Amsterdam'

TV Review: 'New Amsterdam'

I don't know how those investigators on the "Law & Order" and "CSI" franchises do it. Yes, they seem to make the necessarily busts each and every week, but one stray bullet and they're toast. No, the really cool crimefighters this TV season all enjoy the added benefits of immortality. read more »

TV Review: 'Unhitched'

TV Review: 'Unhitched'

Although most critics will doubtlessly discuss it as a negative, I prefer to see a good side and a bad side to having your main character be nearly raped by a primate fewer than five minutes into your pilot, as occurs in FOX's new comedy "Unhitched." read more »
