American Horror Story: Freak Show – “Orphans” Retrospective. Best of the Best
I always find the strength of an episode rests in how long it leaves an impression. It’s been more than 24 hours since I saw “Orphans,” and I can still feel the ache in my chest from how much it caught me off guard with its brilliant writing and amazing performances; not to mention some of the most heartbreaking, poignant, and memorable moments you’ll see in television this year.

Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce – “Rule 47: Always Take Advantage of “Me” Time” Retrospective. Pity Party.
Rule 47: Take Advantage of “Me” Time” is another hilarious episode of GG2D. Although, Noxon certainly is an expert at knowing exactly when and how to utilize the episode’s more serious moments to her advantage. I can’t wait to see where GG2D takes us next.

Homeland – “Krieg Nicht Lieb” Retrospective. Revenge.
As penultimate episodes go, “Krieg Nicht Lieb” is a tad disappointing. While it does have some exciting, suspenseful moments, it’s short—like last week’s episode—to the tune of lasting only 45 minutes. Also, it’s a filler episode at best, even with its compelling moments. “Krieg Nicht Lieb” leaves us with too many questions unanswered, most importantly how will the Haqqani story line end?

The Affair – “109” Retrospective. Trouble in Paradise.
“109” is one of the best penultimate episodes I’ve seen in quite a while. The acting is exceptional, the writing is outstanding, and the directing spot on, to say nothing of how dazzling the cinematography is. The word “compelling” doesn’t even begin to describe this episode. I couldn’t tear my eyes from the screen for one single, solitary moment.

Grimm – “Chupacabra” Recap. Urban Legends vs. Truth.
When a local Portland doctor, Diego Hoyos (Max Arciniega) returns from a long trip in the Dominican Republic, strange things begin to happen to him that he can’t explain. When one of his neighbors is found exsanguinated, a witness seems to believe it’s the work of “El Chupacabra.” An urban legend, the “Chupacabra” is believed to look like a goat that sucks the blood of its victims. As fall finales go, “Chupacabra” is fantastic! It is suspenseful, dramatic, and filled with surprises that will surely tide you over until Grimm returns in January 2015.

It was only a matter of time before someone other than Beverly (Wendi McLendon-Covey) realized Barry (Troy Gentile) is, as the title suggests, “The Most Handsome Boy on the Planet.” So, when John Calabasas (Rob Huebel) approaches Barry in a shopping mall, telling him he could make Barry thousands as a model and all it will cost Barry is $100, it has to be legit. Doesn’t it?
