   Clearly, Quentin McCawley has found the One Ring. Somewhere on Valinor, Elrond is face-palming.

2. Grimm Review: Unmasked

   Renard's spy definitely needs to be careful, or he'll end up like all of Renard's other agents in Europe: dead. I think Adalind, too, was finally getting the hint on how much an amateur she actually is in the 'game' between Frau Pech and the Gypsy Queen. Also, regarding Juliette and her experience of the woge: my sister and I discussed this a few times over the past season, and the writers ended up doing almost exactly on what we decided was the best course of action - Rosalee, then Bud, and the Monroe.

3. ABC Sets 2013-2014 Schedule, Includes Once Upon a Time Spinoff

   Why, oh why?! Why did ABC schedule Agents of SHIELD opposite NCIS?! Seriously, NCIS is the one show my entire family loves to watch together. Agents of SHIELD is the only new show this fall I'm actually excited about, and they have to schedule it at the same time as the massively-popular NCIS? The one time, ABC, the one time!

4. Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: First Footage!

   @delphincik: There are tons of fanfiction stories out there explaining how Coulson might have survived - some stories, of course, more unlikely than others!
   
   Anyhow, in terms of "Agents of SHIELD", I think the question of how Coulson's not dead is going to lure in a whole ton of Coulson fans - I count myself in that number! I'm very curious as to how they're going to explain that one without diminishing the impact of his death in "The Avengers"! I, however, am definitely not complaining about his apparent resurrection; Clark Gregg has done a fantastic job with Coulson, and I'm thrilled that he's coming back for more.

5. Person of Interest Season Finale Review: Fight for the Machine

   5/10/2013 10:26 AM
   
   @klimville: The Machine itself ordered its own removal from the nuclear storage facility. It even confirmed the order in Special Counsel's voice, no doubt acquired using its voice capture software. It's anyone's guess where the servers are now. As for what Carter does with Elias, she has a few options. She could stuff him in a safehouse, she could let him go, she could complete the prisoner transfer thus putting him back in jail. And I missed Fusco, too!

   I agree with Kaitcat that the behavior of the Medevac fellows was wrong. Funny, yes, but totally wrong.
   
   Anyone else wonder whether the call Root got at the end was a product of her own broken mind? She's not exactly compos mentis.

7. Warehouse 13 Review: Facing our Mistakes

   5/7/2013 10:28 AM
   
   Got a kick out of the vocal cameo by Mark Sheppard - Benedict Valda was the one talking to Leena on the video. Also nice to see Faran Tahir again as the head Regent.

8. Person of Interest Review: The Call

   5/3/2013 4:06 PM
   
   @DeAnn: Regarding Detective Terney (the HR guy)- To judge by the expression on his face, he wasn't expecting a guy to pop out the back door of the house. I suspect his original intent was to shoot Carter in the back, but took advantage of the situation that presented itself. Also, I agree that someone should hurry up and put a few bullets in Root's head. The woman claims she's not a sociopath, but she shows no guilt or remorse about killing people to get what she wants. And, even if she isn't a sociopath, she's definitely a psychopath.

9. Person of Interest Review: The Call

   5/3/2013 1:06 PM
   
   @Lily, BobR: The yellow box indicates someone who is aware of the existence of the Machine. Nathan Ingram, Finch, Alicia Corwin, Denton Weeks, Mr. Special Counsel (aka Pennsylvannia Two), Daniel Aquino, Reese, Henry Peck, and Root are (or were) all tagged yellow. They are not necessarily an asset of the Machine, nor, indeed, concerned with its best interests.
   
   @braaf_hond: Thank you for the correction on the dates. You're absolutely right.

10. Person of Interest Review: The Call

    5/3/2013 8:59 AM
    
    @eljayem: I agree that there is a strong possiblity that it was Nathan Ingram who was the man in the tub, and I find it far more likely that he was the one who sold the laptop, rather than Finch. I'm mightily curious, though, to discover the motivations behind that action.

11. Person of Interest Review: The Call

    5/3/2013 2:12 AM
    
    My family was taking bets on the outcome of that race to get the god-mode phone call - most of us decided that Reese was going to get it. Though Root seems to have gotten it, too... Weird.
    
    Also, I don't think that Finch actually sold the laptop. There's definitely something hinky going on there. And Reese should know better than to take anything Greer says at face value.

12. Supernatural Review: What is the Third Trial?

    5/2/2013 1:15 AM
    
    Regarding Cas's hiding place for the tablet: ew. I sure hope the tablet didn't seriously mess up poor Jimmy... Also, Crowley digging around inside Cas to get it. And Cas taking advantage of the now gaping wound to retrieve the bullet.
    
    Crowley should know better by now than to leave Castiel guarded by only one henchman. Even an angelic one.

13. Defiance Review: Bugged By Visions

    4/30/2013 4:54 PM
    
    @Mook: McCawley's involvement with the mine deal gives Rynn motive for targeting HIM, not Christie. Note that she targeted the other victims directly, not their loved ones. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that McCawley wasn't directly involved with her parents' murder, but they never really explained it properly.
    
    I was also a bit annoyed at Rynn because she thinks that it's somehow unjust that she's going to jail for her actions. This, despite the fact that the attacks, particularly that on Christie, could have resulted in innocent people getting killed - i.e., Datak Tarr and his family.

14. Defiance Review: Bugged By Visions

    4/30/2013 2:17 AM
    
    I get that Rynn wanted revenge for the murder of her parents. Why, then, would she target Christie McCawley, who had absolutely nothing to do with it?
    
    Also, there was a very obvious theme going on here, especially towards the end: fathers and daughters. Rynn had been close with her entomologist father, Christie wants to heal her relationship with Rafe, Nolan wishes he could be a proper father to Irisa despite their racial differences.

15. Grimm Review: One Memory At A Time

    4/27/2013 8:45 AM
    
    I thought Renard was on fire (no pun intended) during this episode - his quip about reading Vulcanalis his Miranda rights was worthy of Sergeant Wu! And the part at the station where he and Nick cheerfully push Hank off on his office chair to his overdue vacation is downright hilarious.
    
    On a side note, it's a good thing that real-life amniocentesis needles don't look as freakish as that thing the gypsies used on Adalind. Yikes!

16. NCIS: Los Angeles Review: They Grow Up So Fast

    4/24/2013 9:38 AM
    
    This episode strained credulity past the breaking point for me when the writers asked us to believe that a Mexican cartel hitman infiltrated a secure DEA building, fatally poisoned an agent (how did the hitman even know which dish was Ness's?!), and then exfiltrated without being caught. And the DEA seems oddly complacent about Ness's death - you'd think they'd be downright furious about it, but they merely let NCIS go about their job without comment. Really?!

17. NCIS Review: Sweet Cheeks and Crumpled Fenders

    4/24/2013 1:12 AM
    
    There is definitely something hinky going on with the whole Ilan Bodnar situation. Something's been off ever since he was so easily identified as the man behind the assassination of Eli David and Jackie Vance. Gibbs being Gibbs, he will definitely dog his way to the truth.

18. Castle Review: The Billionaire's Kiss

    4/23/2013 2:29 AM
    
    Someone (Lanie and Ryan and Espo!) needs to lock Castle and Beckett in a room somewhere until they have an honest, complete conversation about their relationship. All this angst throughout the episode was completely unnecessary, and, quite frankly, a bit annoying.

19. Bones Review: Outbreak

    4/23/2013 2:22 AM
    
    Shouldn't Brennan be arrested for assaulting the guy at the end? Even though it didn't contain real virus, she impaled him with one honkin' needle and he was literally in fear for his life. In front of several witnesses and an officer of the law! I know the guy was a bad person, a murderer, and willing to let Arastoo die to cover up his crime, but that doesn't mean our heroes should be able to get away with such flagrant disregard for the law. She seriously stabbed the guy!

20. Defiance Review: What Do You Believe In?

    4/23/2013 2:16 AM
    
    I enjoyed this episode a great deal, despite the fact that it had no real surprises in store. Ben the Traitor was inevitably going to die; it was his only way "out". Same goes for Elah Badnik.
    
    Though, were I Nolan, I'd be seriously peeved at Mayor Amanda for undercutting his authority as Lawkeeper. He told the Castithans to stop the ritual, and she essentially told them it was alright to ignore him! How's Nolan supposed to enforce the laws of Defiance when the residents can do whatever they want under the guise of cultural custom?

21. Grimm Review: One Memory At A Time

    4/20/2013 12:51 PM
    
    @Nick McHatton - We, at least, got stuck with a rerun of "The Kiss" (episode 2 of this season). There was much grumbling at the official Grimm Facebook page.

22. Grimm Review: One Memory At A Time

    4/20/2013 11:41 AM
    
    Too bad that NBC bumped this episode at the last minute (probably due to coverage of the Boston stuff) - it's not actually airing until this next Friday.

23. Supernatural Sneak Peek: Making Her Case

    4/18/2013 10:16 PM
    
    The end of this scene reminds me of Babylon 5, when G'Kar learns that his book has been taken and mass-produced as a religious text.

24. Defiance Review: New Beginnings

    4/16/2013 7:01 PM
    
    @Jim Garner - The ex-mayor and her crony (Mr. Birch) were looking for the Magical Mystical MacGuffin, a mysterious object all people want for equally inexplicable reasons! ;-)
    
    The Magical Mystical MacGuffin is two-part, the "Kaziri" and the "key". With Luke McCawley dead, no one knows where the Kaziri is buried, nor where Luke hid the key.

25. Defiance Review: New Beginnings

    4/16/2013 10:04 AM
    
    @Segun - The music for Defiance is by Bear McCreary, the same fellow who composed the music for Battlestar Galactica and The Walking Dead.
    
    @Serenity - Not only did it remind me of Eureka, it also reminded me a bit of Firefly; they both have that gritty but humorous scifi-Western aesthetic.
    
    On an unrelated note, Datak Tarr (Tony Curran) better watch out; as soon as he's no longer of use, his wife is totally going to stab him in the back!
