Northern Exposure, S3 E9: Get Real
Ed’s changing a flat tired just outside of town when a bunch of weirdos come rambling by. One’s juggling. Another carries a unicycle. One has a bear on a leash. Ed cheerfully gives them directions to Cicely, and they go … Continue reading Northern Exposure, S3 E9: Get Real
Northern Exposure, S3 E8: A Hunting We Will Go
[Cue moose strutting to funky jazz music.] It’s a crisp fall morning, and Chris is waxing nostalgic over memories of hunting in his youth as he looks forward to going on his annual hunting trip with Holling (who, you will … Continue reading Northern Exposure, S3 E8: A Hunting We Will Go
Northern Exposure, S3 E7: Roots
Chris wakes up one night to find a group of men and women performing a spirited traditional African dance to drum music. Well, traditional-looking, anyway. I don’t know if this was authentic, contemporary, or made up for the show. I … Continue reading Northern Exposure, S3 E7: Roots
Northern Exposure, S3 E5: Jules Et Joel
It’s the spookiest of nights: Halloween! Joel’s at home, microwaving dinner. Chris announces on the radio that Officer Semanski has “given Maurice a reprieve” and is back in town. (Yay! I like her!) Joel gets a knock on his cabin … Continue reading Northern Exposure, S3 E5: Jules Et Joel
Northern Exposure, S3 E4: Animals ‘R Us

Northern Exposure, Season 3, Episode 2: Only You
Joel and Chris are walking down the street, having a friendly argument about food, and women passing by are fawning all over Chris. I mean more so than usual. Just as a confused Joel asks Chris what’s going on (this … Continue reading Northern Exposure, Season 3, Episode 2: Only You
Northern Exposure, Season 3, Episode 1: The Bumpy Road to Love
The people of Cicely are gathered around Rick’s grave, where stands a new statue commemorating him. It’s a gift from Maggie, who absolutely insists she did not commission it out of guilt.

Northern Exposure, Season 2, Episode 6: War and Peace
The episode starts out with a bang–or, more accurately, a frenetic montage of… stuff. A coyote snarling. Storm clouds. Crashing waves. Wildfires. Traffic. It turns out we’re getting a glimpse into the scattered thoughts of an insomniac Holling’s restless mind … Continue reading Northern Exposure, Season 2, Episode 6: War and Peace
Northern Exposure, S2, E5: Spring Break
Maggie has another Joel dream. This time it’s a very on-the-nose Garden of Eden fantasy, complete with a snake and the two of them sharing an apple before sharing a naked kiss. [Cue moose strutting to funky jazz music.] Chris … Continue reading Northern Exposure, S2, E5: Spring Break
Northern Exposure, S2, E4: What I Did For Love
The episode starts with what you can instantly tell is a dream sequence. A devilishly done-up Maggie plays an oversized game of Clue with Joel, who has plane tickets marked “JFK” in his pocket. He’s impatient, but she begs him … Continue reading Northern Exposure, S2, E4: What I Did For Love
Northern Exposure, S2, E3: All is Vanity

Northern Exposure S2, E1: Goodbye to All That
[Cue moose strutting to funky jazz music] We begin Season 2 with a voiceover by Chris “in the Morning” Stevens.

Northern Exposure S1, E8: Aurora Borealis
We begin with a rare sight: Chris in the morning–at night! The moon is full, and it’s messing with everyone’s sleep and driving them crazy. Yep, that’s what the episode is about. [Cue moose strutting to funky jazz music] Joel … Continue reading Northern Exposure S1, E8: Aurora Borealis
Northern Exposure S1, E7: A Kodiak Moment
