Review - The Killing, Season 1, Episode 8, "Stonewalled" 1

Air Date: Sunday, May 15, 2011, 10 pm ET/PT Since the last episode of The Killing, “Vengeance,” I have been wondering what the FBI is doing in town. Terrorists. Sheesh. Just one more new piece of evidence thrown into the ring. At this rate, I’ll never figure out who the murderer is! I’m fine with …

Book Review: “The Fiery Cross” by Diana Gabaldon

Book Review: "The Fiery Cross" by Diana Gabaldon 3

I wasn’t sure what we would get with this fifth installment of the “Outlander” series, but I know one thing: I do not wish for anyone to be Roger MacKenzie. He gets his ass handed to him in this book, repeatedly.

Review: Bones, Season 6, Ep 22 “The Hole in the Heart”

Review: Bones, Season 6, Ep 22 "The Hole in the Heart" 4

*WARNING: If you haven’t seen this episode, this review contains spoilers.* My heart is shattered. This is one of the most riveting and powerful episodes I can recall in a long while. I don’t think I’ve ever cried as much watching an episode of Bones as I did watching “The Hole in the Heart.” Sure, I’ve been teary eyed before but this was full-on waterworks, including the lip quiver. The writers have ripped a hole in my heart.

Review - The Vampire Diaries, Season 2, Episode 22, "As I Lay Dying" 5

Next season is going to be a scorcher. Klaus has ignited the fire and it’s on a slow burn now. By the next time we see this motley crew again, it’ll be an uncontrollable blaze.

Lifetime Releases Aggressive New Line-Up for the 2011-12 Season

Lifetime Releases Aggressive New Line-Up for the 2011-12 Season 7

It looks like the Lifetime Network wants to play with the big boys with its new programming slate for the upcoming 2011-12 season. Since I’m a fan of the network’s original series, “Army Wives” and “Drop Dead Diva,” both of which have been renewed, as well as reality shows, “Project Runway” and “Coming Home,” I couldn’t be happier.

Review – Glee, Season 2, Episode 20 – “Prom Queen”

Review - Glee, Season 2, Episode 20 - "Prom Queen" 8

Prom is a milestone in everyone’s life, whether you’re an outsider like most of the kids in New Directions, or typical Prom King and Queen material like Finn (Cory Monteith) and Quinn (Diana Agron). With New Directions performing at Prom, “Prom Queen” could have been simply an awesome opportunity for singing and dancing, but like other memorable episodes of Glee, this episode was much more than just about the singing.

Review – Raising Hope, Season 1, Episode 21 – “Baby Monitor”

Review - Raising Hope, Season 1, Episode 21 - "Baby Monitor" 9

I think it’s human nature to be curious about other people. When the Chances learn they have new neighbors, they resort to eavesdropping through Hope’s baby monitor. It’s not exactly planned. You see, they discover they can do this by accident, which just makes it easier to say, “Hey, I didn’t know I could do …

Giant Upheaval At Fox - What Will They Cancel Next? 10

I am in a state of disbelief. Not only has Fox cancelled “The Chicago Code,” “Human Target,” “Breaking In” and “Lie to Me,” they’ve also cancelled one of my favorite comedies, “Traffic Light.” It’s been quite a bloodbath over at the Fox Network tonight.

Romeo Sent Home – Recap of “Dancing with the Stars-The Results Show,” Week 8

Dancing with the stars generic logo

As we all know by now, Romeo was sent home this week. I’m sad to see him go, as I think he brought a lot to the show. I thought Kirstie would be the one leaving, as I predicted in my Recap/Review of last night’s “Dancing with the Stars.” But I guess the voters didn’t see it my way. For a recap of tonight’s show, please continue reading.

Review: United States of Tara, S3, Ep 307 “The Electrifying & Magnanimous Return of Beaverlamp”

Review: United States of Tara, S3, Ep 307 “The Electrifying & Magnanimous Return of Beaverlamp” 11

Dr. Hattaras’ (guest star Eddie Izzard) theory about D.I.D., among other psychological disorders, comes into scrutiny when a former patient, who thought he was a kite, takes a running leap off a building. Tara’s dark new alter is becoming more intrusive and hazardous to her health. Max pulled his old band Beaverlamp back together for a big birthday bash performance, complete with eyeliner.

Review: The Borgias, Season 1, Ep 107 “Death On A Pale Horse”

Review: The Borgias, Season 1, Ep 107 "Death On A Pale Horse" 12

I find it odd and darkly humorous that the Pope wishes to go to confessional boasting of Friar Raphael (Edward Petherbridge), who was able to make him feel “clean.” I don’t think an ocean could cleanse this Pope of his filthy sins. It’s one of the scintillating things I love about this show. Irons portrays the most cunning and ruthless religious figure I’ve ever seen. His subtle nuances – the haunting pitch of his voice, his mannerisms, and his facial expressions – are frightfully convincing. It gives me chills sometimes as I watch him.

Macchio Injured, Affecting His Dance. Recap/Review – “Dancing with the Stars” Week 8

Dancing with the stars generic logo

Instant dances are back this week so the stars have to be at the top of their game. Not only do they have to do a regular dance, in spite of knowing the style of dance for their second routine ahead of time, they have to choreograph the dance at the drop of a hat when they pick their music tonight. Should be fun, no?

Review – Nurse Jackie, Season 3, Episode 7 – “Orchids and Salami”

Review - Nurse Jackie, Season 3, Episode 7 - "Orchids and Salami" 13

One of the character traits I love so much about Jackie is her unfailing devotion to her kids and the ease with which she handles their problems. Watching her calm Grace’s fears about choosing the wrong saint for the Saint Pageant at school is a beautiful thing. I also love that Kevin (Dominic Fumusa) recognizes Jackie for what she’s worth.

“Keeping Up with the Kardashians” Returns for Season Six this June

"Keeping Up with the Kardashians" Returns for Season Six this June 14

While I’ve watched “Kourtney and Kim Take New York,” “Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami,” and the latest show in the franchise, “Khloé and Lamar,” I’ve been wondering what Kris Kardashian, Bruce Jenner and their two younger daughters have been up to. Well, I don’t have to wait much longer to watch their newest escapades. Keeping Up with the Kardashians returns for its sixth season on June 12th at 10:00 pm ET/PT on E!

Review: The Killing, Season 1, Ep. 7 “Vengeance”

Review: The Killing, Season 1, Ep. 7 "Vengeance" 15

This episode is entitled “Vengeance.” Any idea who’s seeking it or whether they have achieved it? I think it’s the beginning of the search for vengeance and Mitch will be the one exacting it.

Review: Bones, Season 6, Ep 21 “The Signs in the Silence”

Review: Bones, Season 6, Ep 21 "The Signs in the Silence" 16

Overall, while I enjoyed the episode, I’m having issues with Brennan’s cold demeanor throughout “The Signs in the Silence.” The case, however, was very interesting, especially the various methods used to deduce the clues and evidence found. I mean, who knew you could use a wisdom tooth to collect isotopes that would determine where you grew up!

Review – Supernatural, Season 6, Episode 20 – “The Man Who Would Be King”

Review - Supernatural, Season 6, Episode 20 - "The Man Who Would Be King" 17

The demon you know and the angel you thought you knew. There’s apparently a very good reason God didn’t bestow freedom of choice upon his heavenly hosts: they don’t make very good choices. Luckily for “Supernatural” fans, writer and director Ben Edlund made some wonderful visual and narrative choices in this week’s Cas-centric episode, “The Man Who Would Be King.”

Review: The Vampire Diaries, Season 2, Ep. 21 “The Sun Also Rises”

Review: The Vampire Diaries, Season 2, Ep. 21 "The Sun Also Rises" 18

I have to admit, I expected a little more from this episode. Especially since it’s the next to last for the season.

Book Review: “Drums of Autumn” by Diana Gabaldon

Book Review: "Drums of Autumn" by Diana Gabaldon 19

“Drums of Autumn” somewhat focuses on Brianna Randall and her boyfriend, Roger MacKenzie. This time around, Brianna takes the fateful step through the stones to find her parents.

Book Review: “Dead Reckoning” by Charlaine Harris

Book Review: "Dead Reckoning" by Charlaine Harris 20

I will say this is some of Harris’ better work. “Dead Reckoning” is twice the book “Dead in the Family” was. It reads better, flows great and doesn’t hold back.

A Conversation with “In Plain Sight” Executive Producers Ed Decter and John Strauss

A Conversation with "In Plain Sight" Executive Producers Ed Decter and John Strauss 21

With the season premiere of USA’s “In Plain Sight” last Sunday, new Executive Producers Ed Decter and John Strauss were happy to host a conference call to explain their vision for the show’s new season and tell us what we can expect. While I was unable to participate in the call, I was lucky enough to receive the transcript so our fans and followers would know what’s going on.

Review: Justified, Season 2, Season Finale “Bloody Harlan”

Review: Justified, Season 2, Season Finale “Bloody Harlan” 22

I loved “Bloody Harlan” because it was filled to the brim with drama, drama, and then some more drama, with a pinch of humorous sarcasm. To say I was surprised and amazed wouldn’t do “Bloody Harlan” justice. My eyeballs left their sockets because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing while my ears grew bigger so I could hear every word being said.
