Critical Myth

Television has become the medium of today's modern mythology, delivering the exploits of icons and archetypes to the masses. Names like Mulder, Scully, Kirk, Spock, and Buffy have become legend. This blog is a compilation of the reviews written about the tales of our modern day heroes.

7 Day Forecast: 24 Feb 2006

Now reading:

Star Wars: Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader by James Luceno
Babylon 5: The Scripts of JMS: Volume 4

I actually just finished reading through this, which covers up to episode 2.21. The series is getting into the meat of the scripts now, and there are some nice insights into the creative process and the plot decisions. I especially like the candid explanation for what happened behind the scenes that forced "Divided Loyalties" to take place...


Now playing:

Final Fantasy X-2 - about 55% done...I'm slowly making progress
Lord of the Rings: The Third Age - about 12%...this is fun, but I have to play when Brenna's not around!
Xenosaga II - I'm about 67% through the bonus levels...currently on hold

7 Day Forecast (through 03 Mar 2006):

2/25: Stargate SG-1 9.18: "Arthur's Mantle"
2/26: Battlestar: Galactica 2.18: "Downloaded"
2/27: Stargate: Atlantis 2.18: "Michael"
2/28: 24 5.10: "Day 5: 4PM - 5PM"
3/01: Medium 2.15: "Sweet Child O' Mine"
3/01: Supernatural 1.16: "Shadow"
3/02: Lost 2.15: "Maternity Leave"
3/03: X-Files: Fight the Future

My review for "Fight the Future" is going to take a little longer. I'm up to 12 pages and only 2/3 of the way through the film!! What can I say...the film is the linchpin for much of my explanation for the mythology...
