  1. How I Met Your Mother Review: It's Just a Building

    12/18/2012 1:25 AM
    I loved it. This episode more than made up for the lamer ones this season - as well as the overacting by Lilly and Marshall as you mentioned.

    Barney's a class act isn't he? He even made sure his plan incorporated a fail-safe to ensure his best friend was on board with it all. Makes me wonder if we'll see Ted get the jinx-punishment that's coming to him though. :)

  2. The Big Bang Theory Review: D&D Christmas Edition

    12/17/2012 10:40 AM
    Yeah I don't get it. Raj has all this money, can't speak with women, and has a bit of a flair that is off-putting to the rest of the gang. "Seriously, do you not hear what you're saying?" (not sure if I got that quote from Stuart exactly right).

    There's a ton of possibilities here for him. Why don't the writers delve into some of that and come up with a unique mate for him? He could have a "normal" girlfriend who is equally weirded out by some of his behaviour. Maybe she's shallow and conflicted between his money and his cuteness over being tongue-tied. C'mon writers. Step up to the plate already! : )

  3. Criminal Minds Review: Bugged About Karma

    @Terrie: it looks as though the next new episode will happen on January 16 with "Zugzwang". (Might be wrong - they've moved the schedule around at least once this season.) Good catch!

    Yeah - I agree. That was pretty cool.

  5. Nikita Review: And the Mole is....

    12/10/2012 1:00 AM
    I always hoped Isaiah Mustafa would end up with a decent gig after his Old Spice commercials and now he's done it - he's landed in the Nikitaverse as Cyrus. So cool.

    Although Nikita brought Alex through her addiction stuff before, I predict the writers will use this problem as a way to bring her and Sean back together.

  6. Blue Bloods Review: Hey Cowboy

    12/10/2012 12:53 AM
    It didn't occur to me for a minute that any of the Reagans wouldn't have done the same as Jamie did. You're right in referring to them as "cowboys". Every last one of them. I also believe Frank would absolutely have given Jamie a week in stead of three days - they're all sticklers for the book, despite the fact that they ignore it when the need is great.

    Danny's partner shooting the suspect has solidified that partnership like nothing else. Even Linda picked up on the attraction danger too. I can see the writers using this dynamic as a subplot sometime.

    @herr_sebbe
    >>I also have to add, I don't think it's very professional for a critic to base >>the rating of an entire episode on ONE aspect.

    Heh. I agree with you, trust me. If I had, it would have gotten one star.

  8. Criminal Minds Review: Dislocation Boogie

    @Brighton jack: your note about Reid not bothering to call her back once he realized the guy wasn't her stalker was what provoked my question about his paranoia being convenient. Deep inside, his anxiety may have overwhelmed him, despite all of Blake's encouragement.

  9. Criminal Minds Review: Dislocation Boogie

    12/6/2012 11:25 AM
    @Suncatcher: I felt I was generous even with the rating I gave. That torture scene made the show almost unwatchable. It was brutal and unnecessary and I had a hard time thinking about anything else for the rest of the episode.

  10. Criminal Minds Interview: Matthew Gray Gubler on Directing, Improv, Reid's Girlfriend and More!

    Glad you enjoyed reading it. I have to say: MGG was easy to talk with. It was a really enjoyable interview.

  11. The Lesson

    12/5/2012 11:31 PM
    It comes out early in Canada but not in the U.S. I've just published the review now: you should take a look! : )

  12. Homeland Review: A Man, A Plan

    12/4/2012 8:56 AM
    Carrie went after him after bring specifically told NOT to. She does that a lot doesn't she? Instant rebellion is kind of her thing.

    The part I really liked was the conversation between Brody and the VP just before the heart attack. Brody kept looking at him curiously, wondering when he would start dying.

    It's the little things....

  13. Criminal Minds Review: Words with Fiends

    12/2/2012 2:38 AM
    Ana: good sleuthing. I hadn't thought about the stalker's wealth but now realize you're right. I feel certain that it's a guy too.

    Don't know what to make of Kevin. Was there another reason for bringing him back for just the one episode? It's possible. I just have a hard time seeing him as the conniving type: he practically stumbled over letting Garcia down gently. @Smoker: you're right - he's had ample opportunity to be jealous as a result of Morgan's easy chemistry with Garcia.

  14. Criminal Minds Review: Words with Fiends

    Thank you CM!

    You mentioned that snazzy car. I'll confess: I've never been much of a car buff and, being a red-blooded male, wanted to mention it in the review but just didn't know what make or model it was. Hopefully someone who knows cars can solve that mystery.

    Terrie: I really don't have a clue who the photographer is. He's a nasty piece of business though. The executive producer (Erica Messer) is fairly excited about that storyline so it's safe to say it's going to be interesting.

  15. Criminal Minds Review: Another One Rides the Bus

    11/22/2012 9:18 AM
    There are many kinds of inputs to PTSD: it isn't limited to just wartime activity. However, I do concede my lack of overall knowledge about it. I just found it hard to imagine anyone functioning near normal after an event like that.

    I found the hacking a bit iffy too. If I hadn't recently learned about ELF (extremely low frequency) which Garcia mentioned, it would have been hard to suspend disbelief.

  16. Criminal Minds Review: Semper Fi

    11/16/2012 6:48 AM
    Quite right - Michelle Trachtenberg plays a stalker in an upcoming episode, not Reid's love interest. Thanks for the correction everyone.

    @Stephanie: thank you so much too for your note about New Directions. Wasn't aware of the numbers of homeless veterans - I just knew there were a lot. Sounds cliche but it's true: even one is one too many.

  17. Criminal Minds Review: Semper Fi

    11/15/2012 8:45 AM
    @Amanda: the girl who played victim #3 (a.k.a. Lindsay Leeman) is Brooke Adams. She sang Avril Lavigne's song "Keep Holding On" at the start of the episode. And I agree: her voice is amazing. You can check out her other music vids here: https://www.youtube.com/user/brookeadamstbg5

    @Tania: thanks for the info!

  18. Criminal Minds Exclusive: Joe Mantegna on Vietnam Flashbacks, Playing with Bears and More!

    11/13/2012 12:45 AM
    I suppose it's a matter of opinion - I think Rossi embodies the purpose and calm steadiness of the BAU.

    Joe was an absolute treat to talk with - generous and expansive with his comments. The thing that really struck me was his comment that "you play the cards you're dealt". That resonated.

  19. Criminal Minds Review: One Twisted Momma

    11/1/2012 6:13 PM
    I struggle with some of these bizarre episodes too - hence the squirm factor that I mentioned. Some cop friends have told me that the biggest downside of their work involves the way they see "normal" people. Having to deal with some of the folk they deal with (and we're not talking about crazy mothers feeding human placentas to their daughters here; we're talking about run of the mill bad guys such as burglars and drug dealers) has a negative effect on them.

    Juxtapose an episode like this against the great interactions we see with the BAU with each other, and with their families, and it leaves some room for thought.

    Highly unusual to have the UnSub suddenly change course like this one did too. Four men - and then she goes for a pregnant woman? Maybe at the end of the day it's all about the meat. Clearly she has ceased seeing any of them as human beings.

  20. Criminal Minds Review: The Leg Whisperer

    10/26/2012 1:33 PM
    Psychologically, I wonder if Reid tends to be attracted to "unavailable" women? It would certainly give him a sense of comfort and security (which is ironic, given the sense of danger we get from the "he" to whom this mystery woman refers).

    By the way - I'm enjoying all of the different theories being offered here around the relationship with Reid and the woman: it feeds some curiosity and anticipation of future episodes. @Wendi: I'm with you on the "Reid time". I'm also really curious to learn more about the newest member of the team.

    So many questions..... : )

  21. Criminal Minds Review: The Leg Whisperer

    Sue Ann: true. Yet I think there might be a little more to the story than just the fact that she was a geneticist don't you think? Maybe he didn't lie, but it sure seems like he omitted an awful lot.

  22. Criminal Minds Review: Dysfunction Junction

    10/18/2012 9:58 PM
    @Michael: I liked that too. The fact that we're seeing more of the police procedural aspect - which leads us all (and not just the team) to the reveal of the unsub - is a welcome return.

    @Katie: :) no, I don't think Hotch would be irresponsible either. Maybe they were okay with the idea of a new child though. Just wasn't sure. (I think they make an awesome couple)

    I agree that Garcia and Morgan need to be careful with the speakerphone. I don't recall any awkwardness around their banter with onlookers. Glad you guys mentioned it - now I'm curious: I'll be watching that dynamic a little closer.

  23. Criminal Minds Review: Time for a Blitz Attack

    10/13/2012 5:02 PM
    @Carol: yeah, I'm not all that jazzed about the new agent, either. The only thing that keeps me interested in her is her back story. Also, I'm curious about whether the friction we saw with her and Derek will show up again. Other than that, Emily was much more compelling I thought.

    @Lynda: wild, huh? Couldn't believe that was Mackenzie. Glad to see she's still working in the business though.

    Nini: rooting for the unsubs was an impulse here too. An uncomfortable one though - I mean they went just a *little* overboard though.

  24. Criminal Minds Review: Time for a Blitz Attack

    10/11/2012 7:03 AM
    guest: thanks for the catch. Can't believe I made such a rookie mistake. : ) Updated....

  25. Boardwalk Empire Review: With All Due Respect

    10/2/2012 3:59 PM
    I kept expecting Nucky to find a way to kill Gyp. His capitulation to him with the new deal must have stuck in his craw, plus he can't predict his rages. It's logical for him to go. I wondered if Gyp's drink was poisoned (it wasn't), and then when Gyp was on the road, I wondered if Nucky had planned an ambush, especially after Gyp had the "good luck" note read to him.

    I keep wondering if any episode won't feature someone bring killed. As each episode progresses, and everyone's still breathing, a new tension bubbles up: who's going to buy it now? Gruesome ending this time, wasn't it? Clearly Gyp has to go.
