The focus of “1912” isn’t really on the founding council killer; it’s on the Salvatore brothers. They do have a bond. It’s been broken, tried and tested, and now they’re working to repair it.

The Vampire Diaries Panel at Paleyfest 2012 (#TVD)
To say I was excited to attend The Vampire Diaries panel at Paleyfest is an understatement. Being a fan of a show and then having the opportunity to see some of your favorite cast members up close is a thrill! Being able to see their sense of humor and personalities, aside from their characters, there isn’t anything better for a fan (except maybe to touch Ian Somerhalder or have him put his arm around you when you take a photo with him and confess your unquenchable lust…)

While most folks are thinking about spring, TNT is preparing for summer. That’s fine by me; I love summer, and I’m not just talking about the weather. Some of my favorite summer shows are on TNT and I’m thrilled to hear of their renewal.

Review: New Girl “Control” (There’s Nothing Wrong With Being A Neat Freak…)
I want to like “Control” more than I do, but I just don’t feel the Schmidt-centric topic which really isn’t very funny.

Review: #JustifiedFX “Loose Ends” (“There’s a war coming…” I wish it would hurry because I’m getting antsy!)
“There’s a war coming; you really wanna see Noble’s become a battleground?” ~ Raylan For a moment, I think of Game of Thrones.. But we are nowhere near Winterfell. I won’t lie and say I didn’t enjoy the episode however; I will be honest and say it left me wanting. It’s episode nine for Pete’s sake and I’m ready for the Quarles-Crowder-Givens-Limehouse battle to commence!

Interview: Mary McCormack and Frederick Weller Talk About In Plain Sight’s Final Season
On Monday, March 12, 2012, I participated in a conference call with two of my favorite actors, Mary McCormack and Frederick Weller from USA Network’s In Plain Sight. As usual, they were candid, entertaining and as forthcoming as possible without divulging too much about the show’s fifth and final season.

Do You Believe in Fate? Review: Lost Girl – “Fae Day”
Siobhan the Banshee’s (Sarah Power) ear-piercing wail in the Fae bar foretells someone’s death by sundown. It could be any one of the members of the Five Families, but I figure it’s not a major character.

A lost voice, a sexual encounter and a melt-down. Review: Smash – “Chemistry” (@NBCSmash)
There’s only one week until the workshop and everyone is stressed out. Derek (Jack Davenport) is angry with Julia (Debra Messing), Tom (Christian Borle) is angry with Derek (as usual), and Ivy (Megan Hilty) is on the verge of losing her voice. “Chemistry” deals with the chemistry between Michael (Will Chase) and Julia; Ivy and Derek; Eileen (Angelica Huston) and Ellis (Jaime Cepero).

Mary’s a Mom! Advance Review, In Plain Sight – “The Anti-Social Network” @InPlainSightUSA
It used to be having a show on Friday primetime was its death knell. But that all changed when such series as Blue Bloods, Grimm and Supernatural began to flourish. Now, In Plain Sight has been added to the ever-growing list of Friday night must-watch TV when the series switches nights for its final season beginning March 16, 2012 at 10/9c on the USA network.

It’s Party Time at the Gallaghers! Review: Shameless – “Hurricane Monica” @SHO_Kareem @SHO_Shameless
So Peg (Louise Fletcher) dies and Frank (William H. Macy) moves Monica (Chloe Webb), the kids’ mom, into the Gallagher household? What’s up with that? No one likes her and they can’t believe Frank does this. Don’t they have enough to deal with without having an unwanted mother constantly underfoot disrupting their routine? I’m shocked that Frank feels the need to have Monica around and I’m not sure what her real reason is for staying. I know she says she wants to make up for missed time but honestly, do you believe that? Nah, me neither.

Review: The Walking Dead “Better Angels” (A Botched Murder, Kid With A Pistol, and Insta-Zombies!)
I’m speechless—there are too many “holy shit!” moments to count, and I’m not sure I can stand the suspense of waiting seven more days until I can get my next The Walking Dead fix.

Article: ABC’s Once Upon A Time panel at Paleyfest 2012
Once Upon A Time at Paleyfest 2012: The video speaks for itself. (And I have the entire panel discussion thanks to a full battery and no technical issues!) There are many wonderful moments, but one that immediately stands out in my mind is when an audience member from England thanks Josh Dallas (Prince Charming/David) for getting her 12 year old granddaughter “off Justin Bieber.” The entire place roared with laughter! It was hysterical.

Best Friends Really Do Make the Best Couples. Movie Review: “Friends with Kids”
Friends with Kids is an enjoyable, funny movie and more likely than not, will be a box-office success. While the subject matter is nothing new, already being compared to When Harry Met Sally and others of its ilk, the dialogue is fresh, the ensemble cast shines, and writer/producer/director Jennifer Westfeldt does an excellent job wearing each hat, especially since she also stars in the movie.

Review: Alcatraz – Season 1, Episode 9, “Sonny Burnett” – Survival of the Fittest – Nightmares, Family Bonds and Revenge
In Alcatraz, the past continues to creep into the present. Sonny Burnett (Theo Rossi of Sons of Anarchy) ends up in prison for kidnapping and puts his life on the line by guaranteeing $100,000 of hidden money to an inmate ‘boss’ in exchange for his safety during his two-year prison stint. When the money can’t be found, his life is endangered, leading to a scary transformation. The new and improved Sonny returns to present-day San Francisco, with vengeance on his mind.

Review: New Girl – “Injured” (Nick Should Get Tackled By Jess More Often)
Although the first half of the show is hilarious, the second half merely holds its own. I don’t want to be too picky so I’m just gonna say, we can do better next week!

Review: #JustifiedFX “Watching The Detectives” (“ice-cold, remorseless, bottle blonde, sh*t bag killer”)
Raylan – a dirty cop? Who would believe such a thing? Apparently Winona is having some doubts. Limehouse wants to “back the winning side” meaning he’s in Quarles’ corner – things are really taking an interesting turn. And Duffy wants to break Raylan over a step ladder and ride him like a teaser pony! I never expected those words to fall from his lips.
