While not the most engaging hour of television, “American Gothic” shows us just how crafty Katharine can be. I like the idea that a lone woman can wreak so much havoc in a world dominated by men.

Pulled Pork and the Hooker with a Heart of Gold. Retrospective: Justified – “Peace of Mind”
“Peace of Mind” really captivated me. From unexpected revelations—like someone leaking information—to a stunning ending, this episode will surely widen some eyes. After learning the sex of his unborn child, you would think it would make becoming a daddy more real for Raylan; quite the contrary.

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).

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.
