  1. Boardwalk Empire Review: "Sunday Best"

    10/30/2012 7:20 PM
    Thanks Carissa for filling in while Sandy and I tangled here in NYC. I finally got to see the episode and logon here to TVF. For those confused, I was without power and Carissa filled in. She doesn't watch the show on a regular basis, but did a commendable job I think. It was interesting to get an "outsider's" point of view on the show without the benefit of having seen prior episodes.
    I thought this was one of the best episodes of the season thus far. I had had it with Gillian and her creepy incestuous ways, but she showed she is as cunning as she is twisted when she set up her Jimmy look-a-like so that she could have a body to produce and get the house in her name finally.
    I also thought it was interesting to see Gyp in a new light. He was bullied and mocked at home by his mother and sisters. No wonder he is so sensitive to the apparent slights by others. Then he decks the priest and by the "grace of god" scrapes together enough change to make his draw with Masseria, but still was going to get whacked before he offered to kill all the Italian's enemies.
    Loved the Nucky/Eli sit down. They finally got everything out on the table. Margaret tried to open up to June and all she could say was "you brought pineapple upside down cake."
    Last but not even close to least, what an episode for Richard. Any time we get to see him scrap booking we win. He was dishing out death threats and defending damsels in distress all while asking God to keep him ever mindful of the needs of others. He is the man.

    to first walk out on the wedding. Ted doesn't owe a dime. I, however, owe the show a lot for all the laughs its given me, but that doesn't mean I/we can't be critical as fans.

  3. How I Met Your Mother Review: Consolation Prize

    10/16/2012 4:20 PM
    While I don't seem to be alone in my disappointment this week, for those who I am not seeing eye to eye with, allow me to clarify my feelings. The episode first off was not without merit. Barney's songs, as well as most of Robin's scenes were lauded by me above. Marshall and Lily are such a big part of this show for me though and I just haven't felt them this season yet like years past and certainly not this week. As a couple they are one of the most well scripted duos on TV. I have said this much time and again, which is why last night's episode let me down so. Each episode is not a stepping stone. There are most definitely filler episodes with no links to the mother plot, but some of which I rank in my top episodes in the show's amazing run. I of course know who Victoria is, but she has been reduced to a character I am not a fan of. Overnight she has gone from the woman Ted chased after to one he wants to push away. It seems awfully rushed. @Amie great point about Klaus being the one to first walk out on the wedding. Ted doesn't owe a dime. I, however, owe the show a lot for all the laughs its given me, but that doesn't mean I/we can't be critical as fans.

  4. Boardwalk Empire Review: Barely Breathing

    10/15/2012 3:59 PM
    @Adam I have asked myself the same as well as why don't the guys just bring extra tanks of gas with them and refuel before Tabor Heights and blow through down? Maybe it's just one of those things we have to accept and agree to let slip if it means all the amazing scenes featuring Cannavale who at this point is headed for some nominations come next year's Emmy's I think.
    and @Tony I think you are def right about the Gyp hit.

  5. Dexter Review: Are You a Serial Killer?

    10/2/2012 10:28 AM
    @joseph...great line here:
    "I'm really looking forward to seeing the new dynamic develop from this point and how the Dark Passenger can continue on when he's now in the spotlight."
    Well put my man.
    So what was the deal with the bracelet Viktor the Ukranian took off the dead stripper and put on his own arm? They made a point of showing it again when Dexter was getting rid of his body. Dexter using the surf board bag in lieu of his usual glad bag method might come back to wipe him out I think. There definitelyt is some significance to that piece of jewelry.

  6. Dexter Review: Are You a Serial Killer?

    10/2/2012 10:23 AM
    @miranderwicker, I thought the same exact thing about the airport and Matt you toally nailed the episode when you noted how tension filled it was. I think for me the hardest thing to get over was that I have become so accustomed to Dexter's, Stab Rinse Repeat, that to see him make so many mistakes was unnerving. The blood slide, that is his treasure, his trophy. The thing serial killers covet. How does he forget about it. The plastic in the toe. How does he miss that let alone how it even made it through the fire. All these things tied in with Miranda's comment about the airport cameras left me a little frustrated but the confession scene more than made up for it. I was like "this has to be a dream," it was so unreal.

  7. How I Met Your Mother Review: All the Above

    10/2/2012 10:12 AM
    I'm glad I wasn't the only one to feel this way. @kay, @wizardnewt29 and @d all make valid points. Crowded is a good way of putting it. I too didn't like how Nick was all of a sudden one of the guys. Doesn't he have his own friends? It just seemed like too much a stretch in an effort to add symetry to the two groups of friends arguing which then gave way to the clean and cut resolutions between all the couples except for Barney and Quinn. I thought Barney had gotten over all the stripper issues with Quinn now all of a sudden he doesn't trust her. She moved in with him. There was definitely something missing last night. Lucky for us there is still plenty of episodes to come.

  8. Boardwalk Empire Review: With All Due Respect

    10/2/2012 10:06 AM
    @Terrie while I didn't specifically mention the scene with the doctor and bishop, my line stating how Margaret is becoming more and more cunning was in reference to that. (Sorry to not make that clearer.) She most certainly has learned how to play the game since living under Nucky's roof don't you agree? She did more than stand her ground though, she went out and took what she wanted. She is through depending on Nucky to get what she wants, but is also using his clout to her advantage. I feel like she knows their time together may be running short so she is squeezing all the juice she can out of him while she can.

  9. The Mindy Project Review: Rom-com-plete Me

    9/27/2012 9:06 AM
    Moving on...@Jen, re. typos...while I hate having them pointed out, TY very much for doing so on this occasion. seeing how I grew up in N.J. I should be flogged, i should be purged, for misspelling the Boss's last name. I have since fixed it and am glad you liked the review despite the oversight.

    With regard to Ben & Kate, while I don't make these decisions, I'll be sure to run it up the flagpole as a show we should consider covering.

  10. The Mindy Project Review: Rom-com-plete Me

    9/27/2012 9:02 AM
    @Eludium, I'm a guy. The one who wrote the review and a sucker for rom-coms. Based on your comments, would it be safe to say you are also a hater of shows like Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm? Not sure how old you are but shows like this have been around for a long time, i.e. Roseanne or even I Love Lucy. The fact that Kaling is so heavily involved is a testament to her talent not a strike against her or the industry. As for your comment about what she must have done to get this project green lit, come on man. Now you just sound sexist and obtuse. What did she do? Her work on The Office comes to mind. As for her looks, like @joanna said to each his own but it's amusing to me that a guy posting under an assumed name and using Marvin the Martian as his icon is so critical. At least she puts herself out there. I did not think Kaling came off as high on herself at all. She even went as far as to write in not one but two jokes about her weight. Critique the show all you want but leave the more personal stuff out if you want people to hear you. Hate the game not the playa.

  11. Boardwalk Empire Review: Bid Adieu to 22

    9/20/2012 4:34 PM
    @jameschan Thank you for the heads up. I of course meant "heeled" but sometimes fall victim to the negative side of Spell Check. I went back and fixed it.
    By the way...It was Richard who shot Manny, not Jimmy. See how these little mistakes can happen?

  12. Revolution Review: A Powerful Premiere?

    (shameless Tropic Thunder ref. sorry)if he is indeed that big of a drinker.
    At least the computer from LOST got a new gig. I don't know if that was an intentional nod by J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot or not, but so far that is the only thing the two shows have in common. I am going to stay involved for a few more episodes though because I like the premise and am hoping the show finds its groove.

  13. Revolution Review: A Powerful Premiere?

    9/19/2012 8:13 AM
    Nick I can't side with you here with regard to Giancarlo Esposito’s Tom. Maybe it's too soon for him to play another bad guy. As I watched the series premiere I found myself wondering why is Gus Fring riding a horse? I also thought the whole "I used to be an insurance adjuster" but now I apparently can tell the difference between male and female footprints and how long ago they were made. The whole doorway interrogation with Maria Howell's character Grace was way too reminiscent of the opening scene of Inglorious Basterds and Tom is no Hans Landa.
    Did anyone else shake their head when Miles left that bottle of Scotch on the bar with what looked to be still a third of its contents remaining? Is he a drunk or not? He was planning to drink himself to death or at least listed it as an option. How about that sword fight? I haven't seen drunken skills like that since Indigo Montoya was "waiting for Vizzini." I'm not so sure Miles would venture out into the wild without his "jelly beans,"(shameless Tropic Thunder ref. sorry)if he is indeed that big of a drinker.

    @alan I went back and watched the scene again on HBOGO and it looks like the Frank in the scene we are talking about is actually Franky Yale played by Joseph Riccobene. The closing credits confirmed for me that Riccobene was in the episode. Further refreshing reminded me that we have seen him before as the man who shot Colosimo. Gyp mentioned his little operation in Canarsie so which would also make sense for Yale and not Costello who was more known for his expoits in Harlem while Yale or Uale was a Brooklyn boy.

    9/17/2012 8:01 AM
    @Philip Manley, I think you meant to say Richard, but you are right, I'm sure part of Richard's motivation for going after Manny was to avenge Angela, but also don't forget how much he cared for Jimmy too. Jimmy gave him a new lease on life, was his only friend.

    @alan, nice pick up on Frank Costello during the meeting in the kitchen. That is most definitely the man seated next to Luciano that Gyp chastises. Given his history it would make sense that he would be in a meeting with his associates, Lucky, Lansky and Rothstein. I would expect to see Bugsy Siegel again soon.

    @Terrie wrote :Andy now has 4 babies to take care of. I guess they'll be half grown or grown when TB returns next year.

    HA great point. I bet one of the opening scenes is Andy driving around with 4 tweener girls in his police cruiser as they all chatter away on cell phones. This is going to make for some hilarity next season. His face as he held baby #1 was priceless and what a great touch to have them swaddled in Merlotte's tee shirts and using delivery truck racks as make shift basonets.

  17. True Blood Round Table: "Sunset"

    8/22/2012 7:49 AM
    Ah yes @Carda good point about Nigel, my mistake. He was a prisoner initially but I guess they let him hang out for awhile and trip balls with the rest of them on Lilith's blood. I just laughed at the idea of them keeping him locked away like Slough in Goonies or something.

  18. True Blood Review: Suck Me Beautiful

    8/20/2012 7:08 AM
    I guess I just feel like for the pay off to equal that of all the build up, Warlow has got to be someone we have crossed paths with before. Then again this is only the season finale and not the series finale so who says all of the uncertainties in this season have to be wrapped up? I have to keep on reminding myself about that. It also is sort of reassuring because I agree with @Erin in fearing that too much has been left for the end to possibly swueeze into one episode.

  19. Extended Dexter Promo: "I WIll Never Be Okay"

    Holy Moly that was intense. @joyeful you definitely should get caught up and back invovled.

  20. True Blood Review: The First Cut Is the Deepest

    8/15/2012 4:04 PM
    @San I think they vamps much get exponentially stronger as time goes on. I don't think it is like a 10 year old and a twenty year old fighting a 30 yr old. That's my guess.

  21. True Blood Round Table: "Gone, Gone, Gone"

    8/15/2012 3:53 PM
    @McLebanese...great answer to the Steve and Russell question. Reverington and Stevil are both top shelf. As for character deaths, my money is on Luna and or the Grandmother to die while saving Emma. I am actually ashamed I did not give Molly her due after she was iStaked last week. She was a pretty solid addition to the season.

    @StBob ty for pointing out the Gone With the Wind reference. Very impressive. I wil admit that I am not well versed in either the book or film which is odd given my last name I just realized.

    Ah very good point @vampirelover08. Loved how Claude said she is 500 yrs old but claims to not be a day over 300. with so much going on each week I invariably have to leave some stuff out otherwise my reviews would go on for pages. That's why I leave it up to you guys to fill in the gaps. My main aim is to kick start the discussion. With that said what is Morella's angle do you think. Maybe hoping to offer up the baby to spare Sookie? Is she in deep with Warlow? The Fae don't need humans to procreate I don't think, they just have a habit of forcing themselves on humans. Holler back.

    @Bmonkey if you are referring to when Eric asked Bill what he was doing, Bill said "evolving," before taking a sip of his glass of blood.
