John Locke was… a believer. He was a man of faith. He was a much better man than I will ever be, and I’m very sorry I murdered him.
That’s probably the best eulogy in television history (though the worst in nature), and it was delivered by Ben Linus as he bid adieu [...]

Neil Patrick Harris should kill as host – that’s just about the only slam dunk you can count on from the Emmy’s. Even so, I’m predicting the winners and the “should wins but won’t.” Oh what fun we’re going to have. Hold on to your hats, here we go…oh lei oh lei [...]
I was a “Star Wars” kid. I didn’t even think of watching “Star Trek.” That remained true as I grew up, but I’ve got to be honest after the ho-hum “SW” prequels and this amazing trailer for JJ Abrams’ “Trek” reboot, I may switch my allegiance. This trailer is insanely good. I actually can’t wait [...]
Band front men always take time out from performing to offer up some politically-charged comments, rants or rapid allegations. Let’s be clear right off the bat: Semi Precious Weapons lead singer Justin Tranter is not and never will be that. For starters, the Chicago native is more focused on which shade of [...]

Like so many, I’ve been fascinated by “Lost” ever since episode one. As the new season arrives (it actually did last week and was kick ass as always), I reflect on everything I like and dislike about the show. Mostly likes obviously or else I wouldn’t bother to write this. Here’s my survey of [...]
I only saw one Star Trek movie in the theaters and it was Generations so that should tell you what kind of fan I am of the franchise. Yep, I wasn’t. I grew up wanting to be Han Solo and wanting to dry hump Chewbacca. Having said that, since Lost creator has rebooted Trek, I’m [...]

The Emmy’s have selected some of the worst winners of all-time. Every year, they either award the same people wins (ie. James Spader, Doris Roberts, Ray Walston… I could go on and on) or hand off statues to terrible choice – case in point: Katherine Heigl last year. I mean she has gone for playing [...]
Joshua Jackson filmed scenes for the new television series Fringe yesterday in Queens. In this pivotal episode, Jackson’s character investigates odd occurances happening to the Flushing-based New York Mets. Our insiders say the episode centers on a team haunted by the demons of last September. The end of the episode supposedly finds the team finishing [...]

The Emmy nominations are coming soon, but all indications tell us that a lot of our favorites are going to get snubbed (online sources revealed the supposed top 10 picks in each category voters are choosing from) – having said that, thecheappop.com wants to make sure everyone deserving gets a mention so here’s [...]
