  1. New Girl Review: No-Nail Oath

    I think every scene shared with Nick and Jess is just insanely amazing. Jake Johnson and Zooey Deschanel feed off each other so well in every situation...it's just gorgeous to watch. It's like reading an awesome book or hearing a brilliant piece of music - they're just SO good. They make the path to Nick & Jess's eventual coupling incredibly compelling.

    I thought the plot of the episode was a little weak - the parking spot and Winston's lack of prophylactics were funny, but not riveting. And poor Cece...

    Okay episode, but still stellar acting.
  2. Castle Review: The Dark Side of Rick

    Just a few notes:

    1. Well they finally gave Nathan Fillion some work to do - and MAN, did he ever DELIVER!! Holy crap, that man is a brilliant actor. Seriously, his eyes are more emotive than the entire cast of Twilight! (hee hee :-p ) So convincing, so heart-wrenching. Good job, man!

    2. Gates knows about the two of them. I caught that second where she averted her eyes after seeing Beckett hold Castle's hand. I've always liked Gates, but that just made her even cooler in my eyes.

    3. Good for Alexis for keeping her head on straight.

    4. This was so great - I'm afraid the conclusion may not top this...
  3. Castle Episode Promo: I'm Your Father

    I half expected the Imperial March to start playing somehow....
  4. Hannibal Promo: Do You Find Him Interesting?

    It looks totally interesting! Unfortunately it's on NBC...
  5. Nashville Review: Pushed to the Edge

    Rayna - SO GLAD she didn't sleep with Liam. I hope she keeps that friendship going. She couldn't talk to Deacon because Deacon was part of the drama in her life.

    Deacon - Love how he consistently grounds Juliette. HOWEVER, he's got such a weird reaction to all things Rayna. It's like he's not sure whether to love or hate her.

    Juliette - she's still got so much growing up to do. She and her manager are both right. She should get to grow as an artist, but she needs to do so gradually and not suddenly. If she and her manager would just have a conversation rather than a screaming/power match...

    Avery - I'm willing to bet money that he hurts himself before the end of the season - all that self-loathing, negative relationships, bad decisions...not going to end well for him

    Gunnar/Scarlett - if Gunnar's brother messes things up for them, I'm gonna be so pissed.
  6. Kyle Chandler Cast as Lead in The Vatican

    Am I the only one that watched Kyle Chandler religiously as Gary Hobson on Early Edition?
  7. Castle Sneak Peeks: A Father's Worst Nightmare

    For the first time, I think I'm gonna skip the sneak peeks - I'm looking forward to the episode too much, I think I need to experience it all at once :-)
  8. Community Review: House on Haunted Hill

    I thought this was a solid episode. It was light on the laughs, but it found a better balance between the reference humour (that Annie hates LOL) and the heart of the show. We saw growth in both Pierce and Jeff, and solid acting from the whole group. This was a GREAT episode for character development, and the show didn't feel like a parody of itself like last week's.

    Quite frankly, if we didn't know that Harmon was gone, this episode wouldn't have made it obvious, and I think folks are looking for the decline more so than the similarities. It was quite on par with regular Community.
  9. Rupert Grint Cast on CBS Super Hero Comedy

    Sooooo....Chuck 2.0?
  10. POLL: Who Needs Cupid's Arrow on Valentine's Day?

    Esposito is WAY TOO HOT to be single. It's just an unfair world. :-)
  11. Castle Episode Teaser: #SaveAlexis

    I've GOTTA stop watching this over and over. I can't wait.
  12. Lucky In Love: TV's Happiest Married Couples

    Christine - You're too nice, really :-)

    My vote goes to Marshall and Lily. Any couple that can high-five each other without even looking gets my vote.

    Though Angela and Hodgins come a close second. Jim/Pam win bronze.
  13. Castle Review: Stabbed In The Back

    @pythonM - thanks for that!! LOL...I'm usually good at ignoring the trolls, but when they call me out by name it just irritates the heck out of me.
  14. Nick Kroll and Bill Burr to Guest Star on New Girl

    For some reason I am really, REALLY looking forward to this episode.
  15. Castle Review: Stabbed In The Back

    HOLY CRAP - WHAT IS UP with all the people on the Castle forum getting all caviling these days?

    @Katarzyna - I KNOW it's Castle, I watch it and enjoy it every week, I don't need a reminder of the title. I as much said that I didn't expect any Firefly references or re-enactments. All I said was that the two former co-stars could have had SOME dialogue or interaction, and frankly, that's NOT an unreasonable expectation when you bring together two leads from a popular show, especially when it's advertised as such.

    GEEZ - can we get off each other's backs and allow opinions to be expressed?
  16. Castle Review: Stabbed In The Back

    I enjoyed this episode. The case was alright, but the shenanigans outside of the case reminded me of why I love this show. Castle teasing Espo, Ryan's "cock-a-doodle-do", Castle struggling with his wrist buttons, Castle losing the earrings and trying to get them back - priceless. I can't believe Gates ACTUALLY thought Castle had a thing for her (for a former internal affairs detective turned captain, she's pretty clueless). And Lanie and Espo back together!! WHOO!!

    My nitpicks:

    - Rick and Kate in the final scene. It was sweet and romantic, and I love that. But they could have a little more passion and spark.

    - Gina Torres in an episode and doesn't have ANY dialogue with Nathan Fillion? Uh...what?! I mean, I wasn't expecting them to recreate Firefly scenes, but at least let them interact!!
  17. Christina Applegate Exits Up All Night

    Holy! They really should just cancel the show and put it out of its misery. (sigh)

    NBC is just the worst.
  18. TV Ratings Report: Hungry for Community

    LOL - I completely forgot Do No Harm was on. Guess the pilot didn't hold me captive enough.
  19. Community Review: Trying to Harmon-ize

    @ShellytheTurtle - you're totally right. But I'm not saying that the whole episode had to a hardcore pastiche of the Hunger Games. I'm saying that it had to have a point, a real point - especially when it's so obvious. Having a Hunger Games reference just so Dean Pelton can wear a ballroom dress isn't like Community.

    @Lee - Troy and Britta dating was always the plan. I listen to Dan Harmon's podcast (Harmontown), and even he's said at the end of season 3 that it was obvious that Troy and Britta liked each other.
  20. Community Review: Trying to Harmon-ize

    I enjoyed it. Not the best Community's delivered, but probably not the worst. I had quite a few laugh-out-loud moments (oh man, STORAGE WARS!!)...but I agree, it's a little off. It just seemed like they were doing TOO MUCH in one.

    My problem with this episode was this: Community's parodies & homages - and even references - to single pop-culture events have been great in the past because they've been so detailed and so specific in their execution. My Dinner with Andre, Apocalypse Now: Redux, Law & Order - their parodies all worked because they nailed every aspect of them, and they were all pointedly purposeful. The Hunger Games, muppet babies and multicam schticks they did tonight seemed more like "ooh, look what we can do", rather than something with a point.

    That being said, I'm REALLY glad the show is back, and I'm still keeping my hopes up...
  21. Nashville Review: This Is Me

    What a fantastic episode!! And a great review.

    1. The music on this show is just incredible. Juliette's song was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Instant purchase on iTunes...

    2. Teddy and Rayna getting divorced. My first thought - Oh no, the kids!!

    3. Am I the only one that didn't want Deacon to kiss Rayna? Deacon's emotions are so turbulent; I was hoping that he wouldn't until there was at least a chance of his feelings being requited. Now it's just gonna get messier...

    4. I disagree that the "kids club" is boring - I thought Jonathan Jackson delivered one of his best performances in this episode. Avery is just SO unhappy and friendless, I feel sorry for him. That being said, MAN, Gunnar clocked him GOOD! And he deserved it.

    5. I'm SO GLAD they didn't make Scarlett kiss Gunnar in the whole wounded-for-my-honour cliche. Just...so glad.

    6. Who else thinks that Rayna's gonna end up signing the new-and-improved Juliette Barnes to her label?
  22. Castle Round Table: "Recoil"

    1. My favourite scene was between Castle and Bracken, where Castle tells him that he would have watched him burn. I thought that was a great moment, well acted.

    2. Maybe so, but how would she explain it?

    3. She froze. I've never understood cop shows with that - it didn't need to be life/death. Wouldn't shooting him in the knee-caps have been a viable option?

    4. I definitely would have tried to save his life. How hard is another story.

    5. Eventually. Before he runs for president.

    6. Poor Castle - with the way they're writing him these days, whatever he gets is probably gonna be wrong LOL
  23. New Girl Review: Turbaning the Tables

    Okay - I'm about willing now to follow these writers and actors anywhere. I will henceforth watch anything that Jake Johnson or Max Greenfield is in. These guys are just so incredible.

    This episode was great. I love how they picked up right where the kiss left off, the immediate aftermath. The whole thing played out in a way that was just so believable. I am sad to see Sam go - definitely one of the cooler TV boyfriends I've seen - but I just love this story.

    The only thing I kinda wanted to happen was for someone to question Nick about WHY HE kissed Jess. Winston's immediate reaction was chastisement, and Cece's reaction was to mention how their impulses make them hurt people. I really wish someone had a real conversation with him about it....I think that would have been quite interesting.

    That being said, I trust the writers :-)
  24. How I Met Your Mother Review: The Dobler Dahmer Theory

    @Jared - YES! @SML - Double YES!

    I really enjoyed this episode - and I'm Canadian!! Robin Sparkles descent into grunge was soooo Alanis; Underneath the Tunes was AWESOME. Soooo many Canadian icons. This was easily the best Robin Sparkles instalment since the first one. Note to self; try "the Priestly" this week at Tim Hortons...

    I was a little irritated with Ted's storyline. Lily knocking on every dorm door is way less stalkery than someone starting a fire and stalking you for months! But hey - there's comedy to be mined from this, so let's see where it goes.

    FYI - just in case people actually think we got grunge in the late '90s, look up Our Lady Peace ;-)
  25. Castle Review: The Bad Guy Is Back

    @Mica: you know, the really cool thing about this website - especially the Castle forum - is that people tend to discuss their opinions about their favourite shows and agree to disagree without being rude. It's quite refreshing. Please don't ruin that.
    I don't think people aren't complaining about the lack of Nathan - dude's always there. We're mentioning the lack of quality material for his character. He hasn't had to really flex an acting muscle since the beginning of the season. I'm sure the upcoming two-parter will be a welcome change.
