October 15, 2009

From The CW Blog:

The CW Network and CBS Mobile today announced the launch of two new CW applications on the iTunes App Store that allow users to watch short-form videos and engage with their favorite CW shows and characters.

The “CW City Wize” application, sponsored by Target, is a mobile city guide that provides CW fans with maps that highlight actual locations seen or talked about on The CW’s hit shows GOSSIP GIRL, 90210 and the all-new MELROSE PLACE. Various locales displayed on the app will also feature video clips from these three respective shows. In addition, viewers can map locations and read reviews of favorite hot spots — restaurants, bars, clubs, hotels and shopping — within the cities where the shows take place: New York City, Beverly Hills and Hollywood.

The “CWTV” application gives CW fans direct access to video clips of all CW programming, including previews, recaps, interviews with the cast, and behind-the-scenes footage of popular CW shows. Fans can also link out to iTunes to purchase full length episodes of GOSSIP GIRL, 90210, MELROSE PLACE, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, ONE TREE HILL, AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL, SUPERNATURAL, and SMALLVILLE.

I Believe The Children Are Our Future Review

October 14, 2009

After the previous episode’s strained comedy, I was a bit wary during the first half of this latest effort. One of the biggest concerns I had about “The X-Files”, especially in its later years, was the rising number of light-hearted episodes, even as the circumstances within the larger story arc darkened considerably. And I prefer when those lighter episodes speak to some aspect of the character evolution that might otherwise be left untouched.
The first half of the episode was interesting, at least in terms of how some items were being taken literally and how reality was being warped. It was also a bit frustrating. The one take-home message of the previous episode, its saving grace, was Sam’s insistence that the brothers must work together on an even playing field. There was no discernable change in the dynamic between the Brothers Winchester in this episode, which made things seem oddly disconnected.
By the time Castiel came along and explained what was happening, at least there was some context. Is it still appropriate to refer to Sam as the Antichrist Superstar? Probably not, but somehow, I still feel like he’s more of a candidate for the role than some kid channeling Bill Mumy from the Twilight Zone.
