While “Real Housewives of New Jersey” would have us believing it’s Halloween, this episode is more about what went down at last week’s christening.

Review: The Borgias, Season 1 Finale, Ep 9 “Nessuno (Nobody)”
It’s been said that a thin line exists between genius and insanity. I believe our cunning Pope (Jeremy Irons) is standing firmly poised on the center of that line. His plan to address King Charles (Michel Muller) unadorned in a friar’s robes appearing as a humble servant of God pays off. King Charles, expecting to see an exuberant Pope after hearing what Cardinal Della Rovere (Colm Feore) had to say, is so moved by the unimposing Pope, he begins confessing his sins.

Review: Nurse Jackie, Season 3, Episode 9 – “Have You Met Ms. Jones?”
Airdate: Monday, May 23, 2011, 10:00 pm ET/PT on Showtime Rating: [rating=5] I never thought I would see the day when Jackie (Edie Falco) would resort to over-the-counter medicine for pain, but that’s exactly what she does in “Have You Seen Ms. Jones?” Not only does she ask Dr. O’Hara (Eve Best) for aspirin, but …

Review: The Killing, Season 1, Episode 19 – “Undertow”
See, every week there’s something new we learn about these characters that makes you go “hmm….” It’s an aspect of the writing which keeps the show fresh and interesting, and makes you wonder what else lurks in the shadows of these characters’ lives.

Book Review: “The Girl Who Played with Fire” by Stieg Larsson
I highly recommend this book and am anxiously waiting to read the third and final installation of the Millennium trilogy, “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest.” I can only guess what Salander does in that one, and I’m sure it’ll be a lot more than kicking.

Review: Supernatural Season 6 Finale, Episodes 21 and 22 – “Let it Bleed/The Man Who Knew Too Much”
The two-hour season finale of Supernatural answered many of its season-long questions even as Crowley (Mark A. Sheppard) points out that “You can’t trust anyone these days.” Opinion on how satisfactorily those questions were answered will vary, but there should be little argument over the outstanding acting in both “Let It Bleed” and “The Man Who Knew Too Much.”

Review: Raising Hope, Season 1, Episode 22 – “Don’t Vote for this Episode”
I don’t feel this episode was a fitting end to the season. Neither do I feel “Raising Hope” is improving. It’s been on a downward spiral since the hilarious first episode. Certainly, Greg Garcia is recycling some of his comedic lines from My Name is Earl. What I really want to see in season 2 is an interesting storyline involving Jimmy.

Review: Glee, Season 2, Episode 22 – “Funeral”
“We’re a team and we’re best when we work as one.” Glee’s penultimate episode of season two, “Funeral,” had some powerful moments, especially for anyone who has ever lost someone close to them. As is often the case with Glee, it’s only when you look beyond the surface that you appreciate how well each element of the show ties in.

Review: United States of Tara, Season 3, Ep 308 “Chicken ‘n’ Corn”
“Chicken ‘n’ Corn” sounds delicious, but it’s not that kind of chicken. While at a local fair in a corn field, one of the scarecrows jumps out towards Tara (Toni Collette), startling her so badly she transitions into Chicken, her childlike alter. Without the guidance of Dr. Hattaras (guest star Eddie Izzard), it seems Tara is beginning to transition more frequently. Or could it be something else causing her alters to stir?

Recap/Review: The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Season 3, Episode 1 – “In the Name of the Father”
Finally, we’re done with the drama known as Danielle Staub! I had gotten to the point last year when I seriously considered giving up RHONJ. From the looks of the season opener, though, there will be plenty of drama this year with the addition of Kathy Wakile and Melissa Gorga, both of whom are related to Teresa Giudice.

So here we have it dance fans. Ralph Macchio, aka “The Karate Kid,” is going home. Although I predicted it in yesterday’s Recap/Review, I have to say I’m a little disappointed. I loved watching Ralph grow into a wonderful dancer this season. No matter what happened, he’s still a winner in my book. For a recap of the evening’s events, including the first hour of the show, read on.
