Cheating, Reconciling, and a Failed Marriage Proposal. Photos and Review: Smash – “Tech” @NBCSmash
Tech, or should I say technical, issues are at the heart of “Bombshell” after the production heads to Boston and loses its Joe DiMaggio. From a desk being too large, a leading lady with a bad case of the nerves, a director who can’t keep his hands off said leading lady, and a failed marriage proposal, “Tech” presents an excellent look at what can go wrong with a Broadway production before it actually reaches Broadway. Talk about an awful lot of drama!

Review: Girls – “All Adventurous Women Do” – One’s Authentic Self and the Evil Fruity Little Voice
What kind of man plays with a woman’s jelly rolls and asks if she eats for fun post-sex? Answer: the type of man who is douchebag enough to irresponsibly lie about transmitting STDs. The OB-GYN has bad news for Hannah (Lena Dunham). Who is to blame for her condition and will her diagnosis cause a ruckus in her life?

“…vengeance is patient. It can wait a lifetime…” Review: The Borgias “Stray Dogs”
After pulling off one of the grandest of ruses, Cesare (François Arnaud) gets bad news from his trusted abettor, the cunning and ruthless Micheletto (Sean Harris). Micheletto doesn’t think highly of himself, which is evident when he acknowledges Cesare as his “master” as if he were a “stray dog.” Cesare, however, seems very interested in finding more people like Micheletto – men who are not fearful of getting their hands filthy.

“I’m a better Willy Wanker…” Review: The Big C “Family Matters”
“…I’m the Steve Blow-Jobs and the Mark F**kerberg of the gay phone sex industry!” ~ Sean – How can you not want to read a review after reading a quote like that? If I could start out my review with LMFAO, I would but instead I’ll tell you that “Family Matters” is one of the funniest episodes I’ve seen in all the seasons of The Big C.

A Bollywood Fantasy. Review: Smash – “Publicity” @NBCSmash
Rebecca (Uma Thurman) is up to her old antics trying to replace songs with scenes, which highly annoys Tom (Christian Borle). And she befriends Karen (Katharine McPhee)—for what purpose I’m not quite sure. Derek (Jack Davenport) tells Karen he sees her as Marilyn in his hallucinations, admitting she should be the one playing the role. Leo (Emory Cohen) runs away, and Eileen’s (Angelica Huston) boyfriend and almost ex-husband come face to face. Such is the entertaining episode known as “Publicity.”

Pardon me while I pick my jaw up off the floor. Wow! “The Beautiful Deception” is exactly that – a beautiful and glorious ruse! The confidence and steel bravado Cesare (François Arnaud) exudes is magnificent. I literally was on the edge of my seat engrossed by the palpable confrontation between Cesare and King Charles (Michel Muller).

Jackie Has Trouble Coping. Review: Nurse Jackie – “The Wall”
Against medical advice, Jackie (Edie Falco) leaves rehab because her daughter Grace (Ruby Jerins) is wearing eyeliner. What the hell? As with everything else in her life, Jackie chooses not to deal, instead using Grace’s makeup as an excuse to walk away from the only thing that will probably save her life. I don’t understand that. Jackie is a smart woman who says she wants to get better, but doesn’t use the one tool that will help. I guess she’s not really ready.
