  1. New Girl Review: The Archduke

    Also, we're forgetting about Schmidt here, and about the fact that Elizabeth, not Cece, brings out the best in him. Elizabeth brings out the heart of gold in our favourite douche-with-a-heart-of-gold. Cece and Schmidt may like each other, or even love each other, but they're no good for each other.

    I think I might be the only one who wants Cece to get married - and here's why. What I love most about New Girl is that it's absurd, but its absurdity is firmly grounded in reality. The reality of break-ups, of being laid off, of losing direction in life, of bad decisions, of not always getting what you want. The reality of being a young adult. I think if Cece doesn't get married, the show loses something special and becomes yet another feel-good-happily-ever-after comedy. I don't want that. But that's me.

    Realistically, apart from Schmidt, there is no good reason for Cece NOT to get married - arranged marriages are acceptable in many cultures. She wants to have a baby, Shivrang is ready to do so. Also, waiting till your wedding day to have sex is NOT a sign of hesitation - it's a choice that a lot of people make.

  3. New Girl Review: The Archduke

    I loved everything about this episode. First of all - Young Nick and Winston were sooooo good!! The voices and the hair! Oh my gosh!!

    Second - Nick/Schmidt/Elizabeth to a Boyz II Men soundtrack - HILARIOUS!!

    Third - Nick and Jess and the hookup. It was done perfectly. And their reaction afterwards was priceless, I don't think they expected to feel that good after the fact. The next two episodes are going to be great!

    @leslietyler - I'm pretty sure that was intentional, just to show how much of an idiot Schmidt can be. It was a joke.

  4. Grimm Review: Close Encounters of the Wesen Kind

    5/1/2013 11:19 PM
    The truth is out there...east of Portland. LOL!! I loved the homage to the X-Files, especially because Grimm reminds me so much of it, with the way that they integrate the fantasy with reality, and blend the serialized drama with the procedural. I think Grimm is doing a pretty good job of it so far, and I think this episode hit the perfect mark that would make it easy for new Tuesday post-Voice viewers.

    I'm amazed that we're two seasons in and Renard has remained so enigmatic - and interestingly so.

    This was the first time in most of this season that I've had any interest in Juliette. I just want to know what's going to happen when she gets her memories back and understands what a Grimm is.

    As for team Grimm - I LOVED that scene in the cabin, when they all voged and Nick said, "How about a Grimm?". SO good.

  5. Castle Review: Moving Forward, Standing Still

    4/30/2013 11:32 AM
    1. The flashbacks were both awesome and sad. The good: it was GREAT to go back, especially to season one when Castle was cocky and hella fun, and the banter between Kate and Rick was priceless. The bad: the flashbacks just kinda helped demonstrate how different the show is; it's not quite as light-hearted and fun as it used to be. Even the music and the lighting is more somber.

    2. Kate's hairstyles were best in the first 3 seasons.

    3. I'd be okay with this episode if I didn't know it was supposed to air before last week's. Now last week's episode makes even LESS freakin' sense. Kate thought the man that made her a latte with hearts and roses AND willingly stood with her in the face of death - all in the same day - was taking her for granted???

  6. How I Met Your Mother Review: Worst Night Ever

    4/30/2013 7:11 AM
    It was okay. I saw it coming from the moment they checked into the hotel; I knew it was a ruse. Knew Robin was in on it as soon as Quinn walked out of the car and went next to her. I don't know - I think I'm underwhelmed mostly because we got the same idea on Castle a few weeks ago and it was much slicker. Dr Horrible and Captain Hammer even had the same reactions to the reveal.

    I just want to know what Ralph Macchio eats. Goodness, he looks 30...he's 51!!

  7. Parenthood Renewed For Season 5!

    Yeah Grimm!!!

  8. Grimm Review: One Memory At A Time

    4/25/2013 11:49 PM
    Interesting - I figured that the move from Friday to Tuesday was a promotion. Just was confused because it was near the end of the season. It's like getting skipped a grade, but at the end of the semester before finals. I'm just wondering how many people are going to jump into the show when the season's almost done. But I guess it might work since the show is part procedural; new viewers aren't totally lost at a random viewing.

  9. Castle Review: The Billionaire's Kiss

    4/23/2013 11:35 PM
    @TJ - exactly. Castle's tried his best. It's her move - it's been her move for ages. Kate needs to open her damn mouth and talk to the man.

  10. Castle Review: The Billionaire's Kiss

    4/23/2013 10:10 PM
    I'm enjoying reading all the comments.

    I think Castle has always been somewhat childLIKE, but very rarely is he childISH and immature. Getting into a video game is not immature. He's lighthearted but he's never shied away from responsibility. The man was a single father who created a fortune through perseverance, who raised a very responsible daughter & "takes care" of his mother. His first relationship ended with Meredith cheating, and he tried with Gina twice. He's never been portrayed as anything but monogamous. Castle has never been anything but upfront and transparent with Kate.

    I think any woman that expects a man to read her mind or figure her out for EVERYTHING is in for a huge disappointment (and I say that as a grown woman). Kate is constantly keeping Rick guessing, constantly keeping him in the dark, always at arms length, always at her pace. While she has come a long way, I will not accept that the troubles in their relationship are Castle's fault. He's tried his best. Kate needs to open her damn mouth and talk to the guy.

  11. Once Upon a Time Review: The Barfly & the Beast

    4/23/2013 12:43 AM
    I'm under the impression that Gold will do ANYTHING to get Belle back - including indulge his dark side so that "Lacey" will "fall in love" with him and kiss him.

    Also - the character of "Lacey" makes as much sense as the wood-killing taser. Belle was locked up in Regina's dungeon the entire 27 years of the curse, as BELLE. Rumple knows that. She has no curse memories - which is why she had no idea who she was the whole time she was in the hospital - there was no curse personality to remember. Why would Rumple even for a second accept what Regina said?

    The more convoluted this show gets, the more plot holes that glare. And while those holes may be filled in later, they're making the "now" less enjoyable for me.

  12. Grimm Review: One Memory At A Time

    4/23/2013 12:00 AM
    @Nick - What do you make of NBC's decision to move Grimm to Tuesday so late in the season? I mean, Grimm was doing fairly well on Friday nights, with a loyal following and very little competition, not needing a lead-in show to keep viewers. Are they hoping that the Voice helps it?

  13. Castle Review: The Billionaire's Kiss

    4/22/2013 11:45 PM
    @David & Teri - THANK YOU - I was afraid I'd be the only one...

  14. Castle Review: The Billionaire's Kiss

    4/22/2013 11:34 PM
    Okay - had to get that off my chest. Now to the episode:

    Kate and Rick are both so insecure that it's awkward. Kate thought that Castle didn't trust her, when really, Castle was terrified that a woman as awesome as Kate would realize that Vaughn was an upgrade. He said it himself, Vaughn was the kind of man people like Castle aspire to be. Kate, on the other hand, was feeling taken for granted and feeling unremarkable. WHAT a mess. Just painful to watch.

    Thank goodness for Ryan, Esposito and Lanie - they made this episode WAY less awkward. Ryan's quick exit when the kiss came to light made me laugh out loud.

  15. Castle Review: The Billionaire's Kiss

    4/22/2013 11:29 PM
    While this episode was a little fun, it irritated me for a few reasons.

    I HATE when TV shows write women who can't speak their minds but expect people to know what they want. I understand that she's insecure, but still. At this point Kate Beckett hasn't even told Castle that she loves him - how is the man supposed to know that he has the green light to move forward? The first time he told her he loved her she hid from it for a year! How's the man supposed to make a move when he has NO CLUE that she's ready? He's been working on her pace this entire time.

    It baffles me that Kate is still unsure of what Castle wants. Yes, Rick is a glorious man-child. But he waited YEARS to be with her. The day that he told her he loved her he almost took a bullet for her - the SECOND time he told her, he told her how remarkable she was. And she's unsure of where HE is? She can't even tell him she loves him!

    ARGH!!

  16. Boston Bombings Preempt Vegas, Shift Hannibal Schedule

    4/20/2013 5:58 PM
    I can understand ABC moving Castle out of respect and sensitivity(that episode is actually about a bomb) - but this seems a little extreme.

  17. Hannibal Review: Origins

    4/20/2013 4:16 PM
    I thought this episode was great. I haven't read the books and I haven't seen Manhunter in a good while - so I don't know if Freddie Lounds is supposed to be this wonderfully reprehensible. Seriously, I haven't loved to hate a character this much in a long time.

    I knew once that girl mouthed off to her mother that Hannibal was going to kill her - he's very much the gentleman psychopath and doesn't like disrespect. However, I'm not sure what Lecter's motivation was to help Abigail, and I assume his frame job of the other kid was to screw with Will's mind.

    I totally agree that Will is complex and emotional but in a unique way. That's what makes his character so fascinating.

    @Mia - The fact that this is on NBC...sigh. It has a chance; Grimm has lasted 2 seasons, and NBC doesn't have that much else going on for it.

  18. Grimm Review: One Memory At A Time

    4/20/2013 2:36 PM
    ....her "hexenbiest-ness" was taken from her.

  19. Grimm Review: One Memory At A Time

    4/20/2013 2:36 PM
    I got it in Canada - I think the pre-emption depended on what part of the US you were in.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the fellas and their escapades with the fire-monster. I especially liked the last Ghostbusters-ish scene, and that mountain dude is a bad-ass. I also find it interesting how well Renard and Nick work together; I wonder how that's going to play in to the rest of the series.

    I liked the procedural part of the episode MUCH more than the serial parts. I actually groaned when Juliette first appeared on screen - doing the same thing she'd done for the past four episodes - being afraid to walk into her house. I can't for the life of me imagine why the writers think the snail pace of this story is necessary.

    Adalind - gets my vote for worst mother of the year. I'm not sure that we know that the child is predominantly Hexenbiest. It hasn't been established WHICH royal is the father, and I'm not sure that the child would get Hexenbiest traits from her mother since her "hexenbiest-ness" was taken from her.

  20. ABC Reschedules Bomb-Themed Episode of Castle

    4/18/2013 7:47 PM
    Good for ABC - that's pretty classy.

  21. How I Met Your Mother Review: Just a Small Town Girl

    4/17/2013 8:24 PM
    Well - on the one hand, I see Barney's point. No one wants unsolicited relationship advice about a partner from an ex.

    On the OTHER hand - Barney and Robin are even worse this time around, and given that conversation, I'm guessing it's scripted to be so. Barney's being a total asshat, and he's not treating Robin with the respect that one should afford a fiancee. Ted was TOTALLY right in his observation. And for Barney to not think Ted knows Robin better - wasn't he the one who took Robin-101 classes from Ted? Please.

    Best scene of the night - Marshall and Lily's "Funions" conversation. Brilliant and touching.

  22. Castle Review: Framing Big Foot

    4/16/2013 10:56 PM
    This episode was okay. A few things:

    1. Bedroom scene with Castle looking sideways at Beckett - the shadows on his face - that's the hottest Fillion has looked this season.

    2. I'm starting a petition for Molly Quinn to be the next incarnation of Mystique in X-Men.

    3. I LOVE PERLMUTTER.

  23. New Girl Review: Big Guy

    4/14/2013 11:28 PM
    That being said - the look of amusement on Nick's face when he realized Jess approved of his "hardware" was GOLDEN. Man, Jake Johnson does not waste a SECOND of screen time.

  24. New Girl Review: Big Guy

    4/14/2013 11:27 PM
    I actually didn't see Cece as self-loathing. I don't think you have to be self-loathing to choose an arranged marriage; millions of people do this and it's not always because of tradition or because of low self-esteem. Cece's rushing into marriage not because she hates herself, but because she wants kids and doesn't have time. If she TRULY hated herself, she would have stayed with the narcissistic, selfish partner she found in Schmidt. The fact that she dumped Schmidt actually tells me that she knew that she needed better than he could give her.

    What I think is that she was simply embarrassed to show some of her proclivities to her future in-laws - WHO isn't?? Really, who wants their future husband's family to be at a sex-themed bachelorette party? I actually thought that was quite reasonable. I agree with Jess that she shouldn't change who she is, but at the same time I think this was just contextual.

  25. Hannibal Review: Pleasurable Killing

    4/14/2013 11:20 PM
    I thoroughly enjoyed this. I just have to say - it's brilliant how they make the visuals simultaneously beautiful and disturbing. The mushroom garden - my goodness.

    I love Graham. The pilot had me fearing that he would be sort of one-dimensional, tortured with nothing else going on. He's turning out to be quite layered. He's unbelievable tortured, but at the same time he's not so tortured and broken that he can't have a somewhat light conversation with a friend (Alana in the hospital room).

    I'm also really pleased with what they're doing with Jack. Dr Lecter is so freakin intriguing. Also - Freddie Lounds as a woman - I didn't see that coming, but I don't hate it.
