I have all sorts of thoughts when watching TV shows and movies. I'd like to share them here. Complaint and criticism are only too easy to do in life and so what I'd like to do here is to try to match every criticism and every dissatisfaction with hopefully constructive and useful suggestions about how my favorite shows could be made better.

I'd like to find out if any other viewers out there find these views agreeable and whether perhaps they even share some of the same reactions. Are my usual dissatisfactions with TV shows a result of having basically esoteric tastes in entertainment? Or are there large legions of dissatisfied all out there grumbling at the TV set with a similar set of dissatisfactions? It would also be great to get the attention of some the show producers to see if they might find some of my suggestions for improvements to be useful.

As for my tastes: expect to find posts here on science fiction and fantasy shows including Buffy, Angel, Farscape, Stargate SG-1, Andromeda Ascendant, Witchblade, Dead Zone, and even Enterprise. Outside of science fiction and fantasy I watch a few shows because they are either sufficiently peculiar (Monk) or have cutting humour that I absolutely agree with (South Park).

Most of my criticisms will be aimed at TV shows for two reasons: First of all, I spend more hours watching TV shows than watching movies. Secondly, TV shows are recurring. Whereas its too late after a movie has been made and released to tell them how they might have made it better. So comments will be made here in the hopes that some of the suggestions may eventually have some influence on how some TV shows get made.

The types of comments to be offered will range from how to make the special effects or fight scenes more convincing to how to develop a particular character to make the character more interesting or authentic to problems with the general plot trend of a series.
