New 'Trek' Has It All ... Except Strong Female Characters {Cinematical}
May 19th 2009 3:23AM Some stories just don't involve "strong women." And they needn't. That's life. No wonder Republicans are happier than Democrats.
Cinematical Seven: Franchises J.J. Abrams Should Reboot {Cinematical}
May 11th 2009 1:19AM I have to agree that the water treatment plant effect makes some of Abram's Star Trek look more like a student film than a high-budget one. Good God, what he would do to Star Wars. The Death Star's promenade would look like a recycling facility.
Maybe he should go terrestrial and try his hand at Airwolf.
Knight Rider is toast {Autoblog}
Dec 12th 2008 4:54PM Good riddance! I'd rather watch old episodes of Airwolf anyway. Although I've heard that they might try a team-up of the 3000 with the 2000 before it's all over. I'd tape that! Sort of like when Archer's Enterprise teamed up with a Constellation class starship on "Enterprise." Didn't watch that dreadful attempt at a tie-in show, either, but that episode got me to tune in.
Oh, well. In the meantime you'll find me glued to the sceen over at http://series.airwolf.tv/episodes
PlayOn media server brings Hulu / YouTube to consoles, Netflix coming soon? {Engadget HD}
Aug 19th 2008 5:46PM I agree Hulu has the stuff, but Netflix does seem to have a growing number of online delivery options, too. I always wondered it there'd be a way to watch them on something other than a PC screen.
Oh, and although I don't know about Barackrolls, I'll keep watching Airwolf. When I'm too lazy to pull out the DVD, I stream it from here: http://series.airwolf.tv/episodes
Hulu Media Player gives Hulu an Apple Front Row feel {TV Squad}
Apr 17th 2008 12:16AM I checked out the site and it looks like Paul's revising it now that Hulu has gone live. Can't wait to see the result. In the meantime, I'm watching Airwolf videos over at http://series.airwolf.tv/episodes. Not a bad substitute, eh?
Hulu going international -- eventually {TV Squad}
Apr 17th 2008 12:08AM It sure would solve a lot of headaches to open up Hulu overseas. I see Hulu links all the time on forums, followed inevitably by comments from foreign surfers who can't view the content. Then usually a post about how to download something to get around the block (I guess Hulu allows playback anyway if the IP address is blocked). So the longer Hulu delays, the more workarounds will probably be invented.
It would seem to complement the new sharing feature, too. After all, why put a Hulu clip on your MySpace page if your foreign friends can't view it?
Hulu rolls out new sharing features {TV Squad}
Apr 17th 2008 12:01AM I like hulu, and I don't mind seeing, say, Airwolf on a site like http://www.airwolf.tv (see http://series.airwolf.tv/episodes for a good example of off-hulu implementation), so it's not a bad idea to let me place my favorite episode within my myspace page. Hopefully hulu will add even more content (where's CSI?) to reflect an even more eclectic mix of tastes to complement the broad appeal of the sharing feature.
TV Obits: Minghella, Clarke, Dixon, Williams, Ebbins, Bloom, Smith {TV Squad}
Apr 16th 2008 11:40PM Ivan Dixon had such a great career and towed the line for many a TV show, mainly behind the scenes. What a loss. His work spanned a generation so both Baby Boomers and Gen X benefitted from his experience.
You can see his resume here:

his bio:

And here's one of his works that you can watch online:

Akamai knows (hopes) 75% of broadcasters are taking HD online {Engadget HD}
Apr 16th 2008 11:11PM It's hard to believe that 1080p would be feasible as a stream without a hardware codec. Otherwise, the processor would be tied up, and it's when I need that processing power for other programs that I'm watching content online. It would be a great step if the data format was conducive to shifting processing tasks to the video card through a standard. Perhaps this will occur as the technology matures. Otherwise, after getting past the "gee whiz" factor of HD such as that from http://www.hulu.com or http://series.airwolf.tv/episodes (so you can get your Airwolf fix, guys) plain old 525i should sufffice for casual viewing, particularly when sharing screen space with other programs.
