Elizabeth (Anastasia Griffith) is in hot water with Corky (Tom Weston-Jones). There was no reason for her to lie about Annie’s (Kiara Glasco) whereabouts so why did she? Her excuse, as told to Morehouse (Kyle Schmid), is flimsy. I’m still puzzling over it but now Corky knows she lied to him and she’s in shreds over it.

If I had any doubt that Homeland wouldn’t come back as strong as the first season, I can now put that to rest. “The Smile” is a perfect opening for what appears to be another heart-racing, tension-filled season replete with moral equivocation and personal relationships fraught with secrets and lies. It is as addictive as ever.

“Stay” presents us with the very strange case of Tor (Adrian G. Griffiths), a single father whose “trouble” seems to turn animals into humans. There is a lot of contention lingering in the air, especially surrounding Duke. And what’s up with the new shrink in town?

Nick and Hank must figure out if a Blutbad Reverend is intending to devour his flock of sheep’s offerings and fly the coop; Monroe goes undercover to sniff out if his fellow Blutbad is on the up and up; and Juliette still can’t remember Nick but I think she’s warming up to him.

Close encounters…of the troubled kind is what’s in store for Havenites. An alien abduction, magnetic fields, invisible forces attacking, crop circles, and lights in the sky—is Haven being invaded by space aliens, or is this the work of a “troubled” mind? As Duke (Eric Balfour) points out, “Everything that’s happening now, happened before.”

What a way to make an exit! “Vested Interest” has tension, banter, friendship repaired, bullets flying, truth revealed, and a rat! I’m always impressed by the writing on this show – the interactions and dialog flow so naturally viewers may feel as if they’re peering into the lives of these characters – but this season the writers have outdone themselves. Some of the plot points were telegraphed a bit, but the impact to the players involved minimized any predictability of the events unfolding around them.

I’m a huge fan of scary movies so when I was presented with the opportunity to watch Hollow before its release on VOD, I was thrilled. Finally, I could scream to my heart’s content in the privacy of my own home, where no one could hear me making a fool of myself. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. There was no screaming, no tissue clenching, and no heart pounding.

Thankfully, my good-hearted Copper doesn’t seem so eager to fall into her bed when she offers it up to him. Eva sees the gala as nothing more than a chance to peddle her brothel. She’s a woman out for herself, which, in itself, isn’t a bad thing, but her deadly jealousy has reaped a dead body.

The writers for White Collar weren’t kidding around with the title of this episode. “Gloves Off” comes out of the gate swinging and doesn’t let up until we’re left watching Peter (Tim DeKay), bereft of words, as Neal (Matt Bomer) storms away in a cloud of betrayal, confusion, and pain.

Her mother went to the Dark side, and Bo could suffer the same fate in this battle. Her grandmother Isabeau’s (Alisen Down) essence would prevent that from happening, but even after the battle, something is different.

Ryan isn’t happy about Jenna and Drew getting married, but when a secret about Jenna is revealed, it’s Wilfred who takes it the hardest. Things go terribly awry when Wilfred allows the sinuous thoughts of Jenna petting other dogs ruin him. Leave it to Wilfred to imagine the innocent laughter of Jenna playing with other pups become something so salacious.

She’s not enjoying the high society life with Elizabeth; instead, she wants to go back and live with Eva at the brothel, which is no surprise. It’s a life she knows, what she was born into. Hearing her play the piano, singing “Mary had a little lamb, she kept it on a barge. When she took its bloomers off, its woolly dick got large” was a hoot.

A must-watch new series with life-and-death situations both in and out of the hospital, excitement, strong women (and men), a romantic connection, and blood—and I’m not talking blood in the operating room.

If Ben and Kate is going for laugh-out-loud moments, it doesn’t succeed. The script is bad and everything about the show is predictable.

Kenzi’s reply makes humans look bad, doesn’t it? No wonder the Fae hate us, the way we’re wantonly destroying our planet. It’s almost enough to make me want to become Fae myself. (Though the Fae aren’t exactly puritanical themselves, but they have powers I wouldn’t mind possessing.)

I found it interesting that the question being asked in “Ancient History” is who can Neal trust? Neal is a (former) criminal. As Vincini stated so eloquently in The Princess Bride, “Criminals are used to having people not trust them….” Everyone on Peter’s team – including Peter – have continual doubts about Neal’s trustworthiness. The times he’s gone rogue – escaping and evading – have apparently outweighed the numerous times he’s proven himself to be part of the team. And in the black and white world of the FBI, it seems logical that Neal would be the one not to be trusted.

There are few shows I declare a hit just from watching a screener of the pilot episode (Homeland comes to mind), but The New Normal is right up there. Ryan Murphy has hit comedy gold with this series, a show based on his life and his attempts to adopt a baby with fiancé David Miller.

Copper is an intoxicating mix of corruption, greed, racism, and murder. Smack dab in the center of this dizzying Civil War-era world is Kevin Corcoran (Tom Weston-Jones), a former boxer-turned-cop working for the Sixth Precinct in Five Points—a slummy immigrant area of 1860s New York predominantly populated by Irish and blacks.

Bo (Anna Silk) offered a quip that’d make Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) proud: “Snakes on a plane?” Bo should’ve been scared, though, because this was a sign The Garuda (Raoul Trujillo) was near. The threat was real, and everyone’s lives were at stake.

Cleverly, “Compromising Positions” sets up the anticipation of Neal (Matt Bomer) finally finding the elusive Sam (Treat Williams) and discovering more truth about his past so well that when the actual case centering on the conviction of a land developer running an environmental scam begins, it’s almost a surprise. The fact that Neal actually makes tenuous contact with Sam is told with almost B-side importance. But that’s the shrewd thing about the way White Collar is written: every detail means something.

When Hank’s goddaughter goes missing, he and Nick must help her father find her before a barbaric Coyotl mating ritual commences. Hank continues to doubt himself and question what he’s seen. Will Nick finally reveal his secret? And Juliette seems to remember everyone, everything, including Monroe but she still doesn’t know who Nick is. Did Cpt. Renard’s kiss alter her memory?

Lewis Carroll’s mirror has gone missing and now Alice Liddell is free and ‘body jumping’ wreaking havoc in Rapid City, SD. Now it’s up to Pete, Myka, Claudia, and Jinks to save Artie and Vanessa (guest star Lindsay Wagner) before Alice takes her revenge.

“Save Yourself” is not a great season finale. In fact, it’s one of the worst I think I’ve ever seen. I was bored. The only scenes I liked were the few that made me laugh, and even they couldn’t save this finale.

They met each other at a time of great uncertainty and, let’s face it, a childhood crush didn’t stand a chance against a solid bond between two strong women. At least, it should always be that way.

Honestly, I rather liked “Honesty.” It was reminiscent of the Wilfred of yore (season one). There were funny moments, weird and awkward moments and moments that crept into the darker side, which is what I like. Jenna asks Ryan for a big favor and Wilfred gets catty.
