  1. Castle Episode Teaser: Death by Laser!

    @Batman - there was a Firefly reference in that clip. When Beckett came to tell him there was a murder, Castle replied, "Shiny...".
  2. Community Season 4 Sets (New) Premiere Date

    Looks like the best timeline is in Canada...we get Community back in January. #sixseasonsandamountie
  3. CBS, CW Monday Programs Postponed By Hurricane Sandy

    I'm pretty sure I'm watching the new HIMYM episode in Canada right now...
  4. Nashville Round Table: "Someday You'll Call My Name"

    1. The little girls were cute and ridiculously fantastic. Those harmonies weren't intuitive...good job. However - I can't get enough of Gunner and Scarlett. Gosh, everytime they sing I head straight to iTunes!

    2. I'm gonna go with Avery and Scarlett and the whisk. I had absolutely no reason to like Avery until that moment, and now I'm thinking maybe he's not completely terrible. Ugh, but I love Gunner...

    3. Oh gosh, who knows? I don't think Deacon knows what's going on in his own head, it's tough to tell what decision is right for him.

    4. I'm with Leigh. I think he does care for Scarlett and wants her to be happy, but he's no fool. He sees how this could help him too.

    5. I thought she saw them? I feel like she did that on purpose.
  5. Nashville Review: Mother and Child Reunion

    Hmmm...I enjoyed the episode, and the caliber of the acting makes it a little easier to get past how slowly the story is going along. I feel like what's happened in the past 4 episodes could have happened in 2. But the actors' portrayal of their characters, their confusion and their pain, their many layers...it makes the time worth while.
  6. Grimm Review: One of Two Choices

    Here's what I think is the thing with fantasy procedurals - they have to be a little of both - fantasy AND procedural. Every episode can't be all about the overarching mythos, because if it is the show gets bogged down with it and it gets "Lost" (pun intended) in the mythology. There HAS to be a balance between the stand-alone episodes and the mythology-progressing episodes.

    Grimm reminds me very much of the X-Files in that respect. The X-Files was a sci-fi procedural series; they had both mythos-propelling story arcs and stand-alone monster-of-the-week episodes. Any X-Files fan can tell you that some of the stand-alone episodes were just as strong and as fun to watch as the complicated stories spanning the seasons.

    Grimm has some great stand-alone episodes, and still throws us little tidbits in them about the larger story. I'm totally fine with how they're doing it.
  7. Grimm Review: One of Two Choices

    I humbly disagree with this review - I rather enjoyed this episode of Grimm, and I didn't find it boring. That could be because my brother and I watched it with the lights off after midnight and were THOROUGHLY creeped out!

    I do agree that Monroe has been sidelined in the wake of Hank's inclusion and his near death via Grimm alliance, & I hope that changes soon. I also liked Juliette's part in this story, I'm intrigued to see where this goes.

    As for the child complaint...is that really such a problem? The stories have all been markedly different; The first was a child hit early Wesen puberty, the second was a teenager with genetic modification causing dissociative identity, and this episode didn't have child Wesen at all! The presence of minors is pretty much the only thing they have in common, it's not even a theme. By that logic, we should also be noting consecutive Caucasian cases, or having several male Wesen cases in a row...
  8. Darby Stanchfield to Reprise Role on Castle

    Okay - the premise ALONE made me laugh out loud. Poor Castle LOL
  9. Arrow Review: Deadshot

    @LeighRaines - the yacht was sabotaged to kill them, not to have them hanging around on a deserted island. There's no reason to believe that Moira had any idea that there was a survivor, much less to send a black-ops team to an uncharted island to catch her son. Besides - at the time of the flashback, he'd only been on the island for like a day or two.

    As for Oliver's different personalities - again, I don't think there's any reason for Moira and Thea to suspect anything other than a big brother being protective of his little sister, since he knows first hand the vices he committed.

    Detective Lance isn't going to hate the vigilante any less. As far as he's concerned, he's still killed people - including the assassin. He might at best be begrudgingly grateful for the help.
  10. Arrow Spoilers: The Debut of Deathstroke

    @alexo'loughlin - The person who shot Oliver is the same one helping him on the island. He said he shot him to protect him. We haven't seen Deathstroke yet.
  11. Nashville Review: Rayna Returns

    I love this show. That is all. The music is phenomenal, the acting is fantastic, the characters are complicated and layered...if all I get is one season, I'll be happy.
  12. Nashville Round Table: "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love with You)"

    PS: THANK YOU for the music section!!!!
  13. Nashville Round Table: "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love with You)"

    Oh man, how I love this show...

    1. Had to be Deacon and Rayna's duet. Not only was the melody stunning, but the chemistry between them was so FREAKIN' strong. Holy.

    2. Hmmm. I'm gonna go with Scarlett and Gunnar talking by the pool. I loved that he was helping her realize that she was putting her dreams aside for her (marginally-talented) boyfriend.

    3. Deacon, I'll take care of you!! LOL...okay, seriously, the poor man needs to figure out his own life. He can't have Rayna (she's married), and Juliette is wrong for him. He seems like he's punishing himself for something.

    4. Meh - I'm with Carissa.
  14. Tournament of TV Fanatic: Lea Michele vs. Ryan Seacrest!

    @Portia - YES! Ugh.
  15. Arrow Review: Legally Resurrected

    Man, this show's not kidding with the Principle of Evil Marksmanship, are they? Automatic weapons vs arrows...arrows win!!

    Okay, jokes aside, I enjoyed this episode. I think the police chief and Laurel both chew the scenery a little too much, but I find Amell's performance quite convincing. Kelly Hu was sadly underused.

    I'm captivated enough to keep watching. I'm more drawn to what the hell happened on the island than I am to the vigilantism though.
  16. Chevy Chase Drops N-Word on Community Sets, Halts Filming

    I think people need to read this carefully and take it in context before blasting Chevy Chase here. While I think he's generally a jerk, this instance is different.

    Chevy was expressing his discomfort with the racist bigot that his character has become. He used the n-word to make a point that his character is too racist and he's uncomfortable with it. He wasn't calling anyone the n-word, or referring to anyone, for that matter. This is a man who marched with the Civil Rights movement. He's not racist here, neither was the tirade. He's clearly showing his non-acceptance of racism here.

    While I agree that the n-word should never be used, the word itself is not racist, it's the context.

    I'm a black woman, and I'm not upset at Chevy here. I get what he's saying.
  17. Grimm Review: Hybrid 1, Hybrid 2

    OH - The "squintern" quip was awesome LOL....I was totally saying that in my head when he showed up on screen!!

    I don't think the potion itself brings out his hexenbiest half; I think that it's effects are disrupting his self-control, and damaging his calm, so to speak. I think that's why the hexenbiest comes out.
  18. Grimm Review: Hybrid 1, Hybrid 2

    We get adult Wesen in consecutive episodes all the time - it's all about how the story is told. The plots were different enough that I was okay with two kid wesen killers in a row.

    I've always thought that Renard's plan would ultimately result with Nick being an ally. Renard has gone through hoops to protect him, and my theory is that his attempt to get power as a royal will involve having a Grimm on his side. This makes his current predicament VERY problematic, because his obsession with Juliette pits him against Nick, and messes up his plan. It also is seriously messing with his legendary self-control. This is going to be a wonderful mess to behold.

    I was surprised that Renard didn't know who Monroe was, given the numerous attempts on Monroe's life, one involving Renard's ex-girlfriend...
  19. ABC Orders More Grey's Anatomy, Modern Family, Castle, The Middle, Last Resort and 666 Park Avenue

    I didn't even know Castle had a short order season. Pleasant surprise :-)
  20. Castle Round Table: "Murder He Wrote"

    Okay, so maybe I'm the only one who caught this, because everyone was so excited about "Caskett"...but one of the names Castle tried out was a portmanteau of Kate and Rick....Kat-ick...which happens to sound like Katic...
  21. Castle Round Table: "Murder He Wrote"

    1. Easy - Ryan's interrogation scene. I thought that was one of the best scenes in the entire series. It was perfectly executed, perfectly acted, and just all around brilliant.
    A close second though, would be Castle and Beckett finishing each other's sentences as they solved the case, but finally having the space to be physical about it. When he pulled her up and close...that was hot.

    2. Yep. Feeling guilty but sees it as necessary.

    3. Ryan is a good friend and respects them both, he's happy they're together, and he knows what's at stake if the secret gets out. PLUS, I'm sure he's gonna have some fun with it.

    4. I liked Demming - it wasn't his fault he wasn't Castle. Hated Josh - arrogant brat.

    5. Perfect episode. But I like Jim's suggestion!
  22. Castle Episode Preview: An Unexpected Suspect

    Two things:

    1. Part of me believes that this whole "Castle is a suspect" is going to be a set-up to snuff out the real killer.

    2. That being said, even if the Castle is a real suspect, even though that's been done before, it's a WHOLE different ball game now that he's dating Beckett secretly. I'm betting they're each others' alibi, but can't admit it. It's highly possible that Castle was buying jewellry for Kate and not another woman, but he can't defend himself and say so, because that would out their relationship.

    This is going to be a wonderful mess to behold.
  23. Castle Episode Preview: An Unexpected Suspect

    Oh mother of sweet things...I can't wait two weeks for this!!
  24. How I Met Your Mother Review: Consolation Prize

    I hated this episode for personal reasons - as someone who had to go through some sudden and major life changes, I thought that Barney, Robin and Ted were absolutely ridiculous. While I agree that Marshall/Lily should make time for their friends and should still show interest in their lives, I think that the other three's petulant whining about it was just wrong.

    I agree with the reviewer - the good friends are the ones who stick around and realize that the changes in life necessitate a change in the way that a friendship is maintained. If they were feeling left out, there are a MILLION better ways to say so than walking out on the new parents and whining about it.

    Anyway, I'm done my rant.
  25. Castle Review: Hamptons Heat

    I LOVED this episode.

    Ryan's interrogation scene HAS to go down as one of the best scenes in Castle history. I started of being impressed with how hard he was leaning on the guy, but when he started interrogating about Castle and Beckett - that was just pure genius. That scene made the whole episode for me.

    It was also fun finally watching Castle and Beckett act on how turned on they get when they're talking out a case. Intelligence is definitely a turn on LOL. We've been watching how excited they get completing each others' sentences since the start, and they finally had the space to be physical about it. That was hot. Not gonna lie. Very hot.
