Tap Your Inner Juvie. Retrospective: Lost Girl – “Delinquents”
The color red plays a dominant role throughout “Delinquents”: Bo wears a red negligee, Lauren (Zoie Palmer) wears a red button down blouse, and Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten) wears a really low-cut red shirt. Red, being an intense color that elicits strong emotions, especially love, is meant to symbolize the feelings these three women have for each other (well, except for Lauren and Tamsin but the common denominator here is Bo).

Another One Bites The Dust. Review: The Walking Dead – “This Sorrowful Life”

Curing Comas. Review: Shameless – “Civil Wrongs”
If anyone has trouble with William H. Macy playing Frank Gallagher, well, he has proved you wrong in “Civil Wrongs.” Macy absolutely shines this week as the pawn between the gay marriage activists and the conversion therapy group. Jeremy Allen White also proves his acting chops during Lip’s hospital bedside scenes with Karen (Laura Slade Wiggins). And let’s not forget Joan Cusack as Sheila. That woman says more with her tears and facial expressions than some actors connote with real dialogue. Oh hell, everyone was outstanding this week!

Mr. Sandman – don’t bring me anything, please! Review: Grimm, “Mr. Sandman”
“Mr. Sandman” does an excellent job of really piling on the ick factor. Those red, barbed, parasitic worms are disgusting, especially when one of Andre’s victims rips off the bandages on her eyes, allowing the viewer to see the revolting darkened, bloody wiggly things protruding from her eyes.

More Like Because the Zzzzzz… Review: The Vampire Diaries “Because the Night”
“Because the Night” isn’t the best nor the worst I’ve seen this season. Not great, not bad; just Oh. Kay. But I just couldn’t get into it.

It’s Semantics. Review: Psych – “No Country for Two Old Men”
Is there such a shortage of writers that new and original ideas have run dry? Don’t get me wrong, homage episodes can be cute every now and then but it’s starting to look like Psych is a show that only does homages of other shows.

The Hunt for an Assassin. Review: The Americans – “Mutually Assured Destruction”
It saddens me to say I was disappointed with “Mutually Assured Destruction.” While it moves Philip and Elizabeth’s relationship along, albeit not in an area I care for, it is more a filler episode than anything else. It moves slowly in parts, and is nothing like I expected it to be.

The Battle of Bloody Porch? Review: Justified – “Decoy”
Well, now that Drew Thompson, aka Shelby, is in Marshal custody, it’s an all out war between the Marshals and Theo Tonin’s men, with Boyd in tow. Although Theo is absent, his guys are brazen in thinking they are going to get into a stand-off with U.S. Marshals over a fugitive who’s been on the Feds most wanted list for over 30 years.

Conference Call with THE AMERICANS Matthew Rhys
Question: If Philip had a gun with one bullet and he was in a room with both Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, who do you think he would shoot? Answer: Oh, God, that’s an incredible question for a number of reasons. I think where we meet Philip, he has this great capacity for violence and murder, but I think in his heart he is a good guy….

Bloody Reunion. Retrospective: Lost Girl – “Ceremony”
How she has the wherewithal to resist is beyond me, because she hasn’t fed for a while and is definitely weak from hunger. The Fae may not be particularly fond of humans, but Stella disrespecting Bo’s close relationship with Kenzi makes me quite angry. If Stella feels this way about humans, then what of her opinion of Lauren?

Frank Becomes Famous. Review: Shameless – “Frank the Plumber”
Gay rights and relationships are at the forefront of this week’s installment of Shameless. “Frank the Plumber” gives us a mixed bag of good and bad feelings, and at the end, fear. Fear that Lip (Jeremy Allen White) will return to Karen’s (Laura Slade Wiggins) side to nurse her back to health after initially telling her they’re over. But I’m getting ahead of myself… Frank (William H. Macy), the face of the gay rights movement? Say it ain’t so!
