Black Sails proves once again that no one is safe. The characters we’ve grown to love or hate can flip the script pretty quickly. As new alliances are made among old enemies, there are plenty of OMG moments making ‘VII.” the perfect lead into next week’s season finale.

The year is now 800 and it’s been four years since the last raid and the taxing battle with Jarl Borg (Thorbjørn Harr), people in Kattegat are beginning to wonder if Ragnar (Travis Fimmel) has turned complacent just like Earl Haraldson (Gabriel Byrne), the earl he once ousted.

“Le Grand Guignol” shifts the storyline of The Originals to the werewolves. It’s not a huge shift, but we can see the witches are losing their steam and the werewolves will be coming into their own.

There isn’t one thing to dislike in “Cardinal.” There’s danger, irony, suspicious actions, double agents, heartbreaking emotions, smart dialogue, and the fantastic acting we’ve come to expect from everyone in The Americans.

In the conference call, Lee talks about how he did his homework for this upcoming episode, “Mommy Dearest,” in which a Filipino folklore comes to life. “So when I saw this script I actually went through it and marked it and logged about 100 hours of homework before I started shooting this particular episode.” 100 hours of homework! That’s dedication! He talks about his native Filipino folklore coming to life and talks a little about season one where Wu was literally a human garbage disposal eating couch cushions, carpet, quarters, and paper clips…but what was he really eating? What other character would Lee like to play on Grimm? What kind of Wesen would he want to be? Read more to find out…

On March 3, 2014, I had the opportunity to participate in a conference call with stand-up comedian and actor George Lopez, star of FX’s new show, Saint George.

“Whistle Past the Graveyard” should be an exciting episode considering Boyd (Walton Goggins) finally killed his last remaining blood relative. But sadly, it is not. This is a filler episode by every definition. There are some tiny nuggets of gold sprinkled throughout, but I’m not sure if I care anymore. Boyd only has his band of misfits to back him up but several new members may not be living up to their end of the deal. Can Boyd trust Daryl (Michael Rapaport), Danny (A.J. Buckley), and Dewey (Damon Herriman)? Not as far as he can throw them.

Last week, “V.” gave viewers one of the most (literally) explosive episodes thus far. You’d think there might be some breathing room for viewers to digest everything that went down, but that wouldn’t be much fun.

Caroline shows her sense of humor, as usual, and Damon is always quick to be witty. But in “No Exit,” I think the acting speaks for itself.

I don’t use words like “holy shit” very often but holy shit, is “Revelation” one exciting episode! Picking up where “The Wild Hunt” left off, Monroe’s (Silas Weir Mitchell) parents, Bart (guest star Chris Mulkey) and Alice (guest star Dee Wallace), gruffly meet Nick (David Giuntoli), who just happens to be a Grimm, a Wesen’s archenemy.

Ask and you shall receive. At the end of “Kill the Messenger,” I mentioned in my recap that I wanted to see the Mexican heroin deal go down, and for Boyd (Walton Goggins) and Johnny (David Meunier) to square off. “Raw Deal” gives us that and so much more. As much as I like Boyd to have antagonists nipping at his heels, his cousin Johnny is really becoming more of a nuisance than formidable adversary.

As a huge fan of The Americans (I reviewed the show last season here on YEC), I was thrilled to participate in a conference call last Friday with Matthew Rhys, star of FX’s hit political series. He plays Philip Jennings, husband to Keri Russell’s Elizabeth. Matthew was very forthcoming with his answers and discussed some of the things we can expect to see in season two of the Cold War/Reagen-age dramatic series.

I’ve been watching The Walking Dead since its premiere four years ago, and I have to say I’m getting worried. If I can’t stomach watching the little bit of zombie killing that goes on in “Claimed,” I have no idea how I’ll get through the rest of this season and the next.
