Supernatural: Sam, Interrupted →
The first episode back after the winter break gave us a very different view of the brothers than we’re used to. Each had to come to grips with the demons (pardon the pun) they face, in his…

24: Wow, Annie Wersching can ACT →
It’s funny how one scene can really turn an episode on its ear and turn it from meh to must-watch.
It’s a shame I had to wait through the entire episode to get there with this…
Serena Williams' early days
archivedigger:
After hearing about Serena’s win at the Australian Open earlier today, I started thinking about how it used to be Venus we always heard about. Did a little hunting, and found it was 1997 when Serena first joined the pro tour, and just the next year when the sisters first faced each other in tournament play.
This article from the Los Angeles Times was especially interesting, I...

Great Lost stuff →
As the season premiere edges ever closer, there’s been tons of great fan-created “Lost” stuff around.
Here’s some of the best:
1) The Crash of Flight 815, in real time, 24-style:
The Challenger Explosion
archivedigger:
24 years ago today, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after liftoff. For many people, that image was seared into their minds, as many children across the nation were watching - the shuttle held the first civilian passenger in NASA’s history, a teacher named Christa McAuliffe.
I went archive diving this morning and found a few stories that tell us about the people...

Required animal video of the week:
Watch fire and rescue crews airlift a dog from an LA river.
The dog had been balancing on a concrete ledge, just above the water level, for more than one hour near 26th and Soto streets. Two fire engines were positioned on a railroad overpass above the dog. Firefighters lowered a floatation ring from the overpass in an attempt to get the dog to...

It was a bit surreal seeing Jack and Chloe in New York, I must admit, after so many seasons in Los Angeles and then a brief detour to Washington, D.C., last year.
