No Thanks In This Home. Review: Copper, S1 Ep 9, “A Day To Give Thanks”

There’s no other way to celebrate Thanksgiving in Five Points other than to watch turkeys being slaughtered in the streets, with blood spilled everywhere and an Irish song playing in the background. Brian Keene’s musical score made me feel right at home.

Murder and Suicide. Review: Homeland – “State of Independence”

“I was right.” Three simple words that helped to restore Carrie’s (Claire Danes) sanity, which, as we saw in “State of Independence,” was on a perilous ledge. Suicide and murder are the main plot points; although they were weak at times, they are saved by excellent acting, and serve to dish up a great, intense, character-driven episode.

“It’s a townie thing.” Review: Haven, S3 “Over My Head”

Tattoos, invisible sharks, and hypnotherapy—oh my. You can’t say “Over My Head” isn’t an interesting episode, that’s for sure. The “trouble” this week gets everyone a tad waterlogged. Are you still feeling the creepy crawlies? (Shudders). Those crabby little crawlers freak me out.

What? No Genie In the Bottle? Review: Grimm, S2 “The Bottle Imp”

So now that we have cleared our minds of delusions of Aladdin’s magic lamp, we can focus on the main plot points of the story: Juliette seeing Sean in person; Hank (Russell Hornsby) getting the grand tour of Nick’s trailer filled to the brim with ancient and wickedly fascinating Grimm artifacts; and Sean receiving an interesting call from an old and familiar friend.

What to do with a Nazi Grandfather on Life Support. Review: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, S8 Premiere – “Pop Pop: The Final Solution”

If season eight’s first two episodes of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia are any indication of what’s to come, we are in for some of the funniest and most irreverent treatments of serious topics I’ve ever seen. As usual, Sunny wastes no time getting to the characters’ inappropriateness and political incorrectness. As “Pop Pop: The Final Solution” opens, Dennis (Glenn Howerton) and Sweet Dee (Kaitlin Olson) have to decide whether to pull the plug on their ailing Nazi “Pop Pop” (Tom Bower), while the rest of The Gang go in search of the Nazi treasure Pop Pop brought home from the war.

Life Sucker and a New Stranger in Town. Review: Haven, S2 “The Farmer”

What do you do when you think you only have “46 days” left before you vanish? “The Farmer” grabs you and takes you on an emotional and jarring ride. Starting with Duke trying to get through to a stubborn Audrey and then a grizzly crime scene, it appears like things in Haven are getting more chaotic as “The Hunter” approaches. And let’s not forget the new stranger in town. I love how the writers are challenging us to think outside the box with the curious cases of “the troubled” in Haven they are dishing out this season.

A Most Compelling Turn of Events. My Review: Homeland, S2, E2 – “Beirut is Back”

“Beirut is Back” is filled with some interesting and intriguing story lines on many fronts, although the most compelling focuses on Carrie’s (Claire Danes) meeting with Fatima (Clara Khoury). Brody’s (Damian Lewis) friend and fellow Marine, Mike Faber (Diego Klattenhoff), asks Brody to look into the official report regarding Tom Walker’s (Chris Chalk) death and assassination attempt that resulted in the death of Elizabeth Gaines (Linda Purl) last season; and Cynthia Walden (Talia Balsam) asks Jessica (Morena Baccarin) to help with a fundraiser for a group of veterans. These story lines all have far-reaching effects on the characters, as well as the basic story line.

Old Friends and New Enemies. Review: Grimm, S2 “Over My Dead Body”

After seeing Angelina (guest star Jaime Ray Newman) in the previews, I was kind of hoping for some pig-like creatures; instead we get a vicious looking King Cobra creature known as a Königschlange. Angelina may be a female, but she’s a big, badass Blutbad, making me hope for some semblance of the Three Little Pigs fairy tale. Even though that’s not exactly what happens, “Over My Dead Body” does stir up a heaping pile of trouble, causing Monroe’s (Silas Weir Mitchell) life to hang in the balance.
