The Great Harry Potter Liveblog Experiment Continues With Goblet of Fire

Somehow, I had never seen a Harry Potter movie before yesterday. Continuing through today I will watch all six films leading up to tonight’s preview screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 . And I will liveblog the entire experience because, well, why not? I’ll be checking the comments if you have any words of explanation or encouragement. Sorcerer’s Stone , Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban are down; let’s resume with chapter four, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire .

There Are No Small Parts: Unemployed Actors Now Cleaning Bedbug-Infested Apartments

At this point, if you live in New York and don’t have bedbugs, you’re pretty much unique. Considering the entire city is overrun by these disgusting creatures, it goes to reason that a job market would spring forth from their grotesque existence. And who better to clean up after bedbugs than a group of unemployed stage actors! (Head explodes.)

The Event Convolution Alert: Once More Into the Breach

An interesting thing about The Event is that sometimes the arc of the episode contributes so little to the overall plot that we might consider it a sort of hybrid-procedural-conspiracy show. “For the Good of the Country” was one of those cases. We basically ended up right where we left off: Still scratching our heads, trying to figure out how it got a full-season order. Regardless, let’s pull back another layer of this ramshackle conspiracy.

Warehouse 13’s Relic Roundup: It’s a Backstory Bonanza!

It was one infodump after another on last night’s Warehouse 13, as Artie, H.G. Wells and Todd from the hardware store fleshed out their backstories. Why was Artie charged with treason? Why was H.G. Wells bronzed? And why does Todd always mope around like a kicked puppy with a speech impediment? (Mumbler!) Oh, there were answers — via a few emotionally charged monologues mingled with pleas for forgiveness. And there was also a surprising number of artifacts as torture devices, which were put to the test on our heroes. More painful than having to sit through their long, revelatory speeches? Let’s get to the roundup!

Big Brother Repulsion Index: Penguin Costumes in Reality Purgatory

While arguing his case before last night’s surprise double eviction, Enzo stood before his houseguests while wearing a penguin costume and solemnly said, “This is not a joke.” Then he proceeded to wish his wife a happy anniversary, tell “Baby G back home” that he missed her and thank the houseguest who had given him the best “fade” (translation: haircut) in the Big Brother house. And then , the houseguests voted to keep Enzo in the house! This is reality television, folks. Click through to see which repulsive contestants made the Index this time.

Warehouse 13’s Relic Roundup: The Agents Explore the Logistics of Body Swapping

On last night’s Warehouse 13, Pete and Myka switched bodies while Claudia and Artie derailed the efforts of a Robin Hood-like insurance wangler — two threads that, though sneakily juxtaposed, had absolutely nothing to do with each other. And! On the heels of the Warehouse 13/Eureka crossover — just when you thought SyFy had exhausted all its options for interprogram promotions — WWE’ s Cody Rhodes guest starred. Truly, it was an odd night. And not just for the gender-flipped Pete and Myka. Read on for the artifact roundup for Merge with Caution!

Warehouse 13’s Relic Roundup: H.G. Wells Joins the Team (Sort Of)

If a singular element of Warehouse 13’s teetering-on-too-cheesy, summer-TV blend propelled the first season (more than any other), it was the manipulation of the Artifact of the Week by the Villain of the Week. The schemes of our foes, last season, were far more compelling than the returned rally of our heroes. Or maybe I’m just remembering Lewis Carroll’s mirror really fondly, but that’s beside the point!

This Weekend on Cable: Something For the Other Ladies

It may seem like a weekend of chick-flick mediocrities in the theaters — Eat Pray Love , Cairo Time — but on cable you could get a feminist overhaul that doesn’t necessarily include sexless romance with hunky Mediterraneans…
