The 4400, Ep. 4.06: The Marked »

Best episode of the season! Bad movies, conspiracy theories, and Tom in trouble! Good times! One of the original 4400, Curtis Peck, has an ability: He writes and makes movies about the TRUTH about certain conspiracies, such as who killed JFK. His movies are Ed Wood spectacular, black and white with bad acting and bad [...]

Ghost Hunters: Manson Murders and Jim Henson/Charlie Chaplin Studios »

It appears Brian is a new daddy in this episode, so he can’t go to California with the others. I’m not sure why they chose to show the Manson Murders first. It was much more compelling than the Henson studios. So I’ll address the Henson studios first. Figures have been seen in several places in/around [...]

The 4400, Ep. 4.05: Try the Pie »

This ep starts hinting more and more at the mythology of the story. What is going on, what is the goal, who are the players… We got a closer experience with Jordan and how he thinks. I’m not sure what I think about the introduction of strong religious plotlines and characters. How are they going [...]

Ghost Hunters: USS Lexington and Warwick City Hall »

TAPS went to Texas this episode for a trip to the USS Lexington, a retired naval aircraft carrier. Mike got to go with them. Lots of little things have been reported on the ship: rustling clothing, footsteps, apparations. The ship is humongous though! Steve does his best to cover the most important parts. Long story [...]

The 4400, Ep. 4.04: The Truth and Nothing But the Truth »

I am SOOO glad no one else reads these recaps because otherwise I’d have to do a better job and get them in on time. For the most part, these recaps and thoughts are just something I can refer to later when discussing the show with mom. Or if I need to remember what happened [...]

The 4400, Ep. 4.03: Audrey Parker Has Come and Gone »

I hate not having time during the day to do this and then no motivation at night. Audrey Parker is an old woman with severe arthritis who has lived a very exciting life partying, traveling, philosophizing, and turning down all the boys. In the end, she is rich with memories and mementos but lonely and [...]

Ghost Hunters: Keffer House and General Stanton Inn »

Keffer House Players: Jay, Grant, Brian, Steve, Bobbi (TAPS leader for Virginia) Reported Activity: Man in uniform at end of hall, doll with dilating eyes and changing expressions, Victorian-dressed woman, clove smell, footsteps in hallway (boots on hardwood when they have carpet), faucets on full blast, blinds opening and closing, coughing, ladying trying to blow [...]

Reading Is for Suckers »

Here’s the stuff I’ve read since last time… The One Percent Doctrine: Deep Inside America’s Pursuit of Its Enemies Since 9/11 by Ron Suskind Gone Tomorrow: The Hidden Life of Garbage by Heather Rogers Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen (Actually I read this sometime before this list but somehow I never wrote it down; [...]
