An Arrest, Some Sex and a Stolen Kiss. Review: #Smash – “Let’s Be Bad” @NBCSmash
You may notice this review is slightly less enthusiastic than my previous ones. That’s because the writing is becoming a little too predictable and the show is beginning to move a little too slowly for my taste. I want to yell at Derek and say, “Get a move on, already! Just tell Ivy she’s out and Karen’s in!” What do you all think?

So Which One Are You? Review: The Walking Dead “Judge, Jury, Executioner”
I know I’m not the only one who wants to know just what the hell was on Carl’s mind when he decides to taunt a zombie.

Go Into the Light, Peg. Review: Shameless – “Parenthood” @SHO_Kareem @SHO_Shameless
Sometimes, Shameless pulls some real surprises, and “Parenthood” does a good job of it. Not only does Sheila (Joan Cusack) have a hand in Peg’s (Louise Fletcher) death, but Lip (Jeremy Allen White) leaves home when Fiona (Emily Rossum) tells him it’s “school or leave.” She and Lip had made a pact to finish high school, but he gets expelled because of his antics. Mickey Milkovich (Noel Fisher) wants to kill Frank (William H. Macy) after Frank catches Ian (Cameron Monaghan) and Mickey doing the nasty in the Kash and Grab; and Steve/Jimmy (Justin Chatwin) will try anything to get Fiona back.

Movie Review: Disney’s “John Carter” – A Fantastical Sci-Fi Adventure You Don’t Want To Miss! #JohnCarter
John Carter blew my expectations out of the water! The 3D effects are amazing and the action is stupendous! John Carter captivates and entertains from the moment it starts to its very cryptic ending! Rarely has a movie, especially of this genre and length, had me so enthralled. This is a fantastic movie filled with adventure, drama, action, flying ships, laughter, and yes, romance…but not in the conventional way.

Is Neal’s Sentence Commuted? Review: White Collar Season Finale – “Judgment Day”
Neal sits in a stark white room with windows for walls. The day for reckoning has come. Will his sentence be commuted?

Review: #JustifedFX “The Man Behind The Curtain” (We ain’t in Kansas, Dorothy and the Wizard sends a Weasel)
What I enjoy most about “The Man Behind The Curtain” is we don’t really get to see the real man behind the curtain. We meet Sammy, the son of the man who calls the shots from Detroit who, in turn, controls Quarles. We also get a glimpse of how Quarles is treated while in Detroit yet, he’s the “swinging dick” (so to speak) in Harlan because he’s the city-slicker in the fancy suits. I love the multifaceted puzzle we are presented with: Arlo calling after his “late wife” up in Noble’s Hollar; Boyd banking with Limehouse for firsthand information; Raylan sleeping in a rented room above a local dive bar (what the…); and Quarles taking orders from his weasel step-brother.

Where do you stand? Review: 2 Broke Girls – “And the One-Night Stands”
Caroline’s (Beth Behrs) birthday is coming up, so what do you expect? A party? From this motley lot? I think not.

Do the Tarantula. Review: Lost Girl – “ArachnoFaebia”
We know Lauren acts on the Ash’s command and Dyson uses his job to investigate Fae events but the question is, are they on the same side?

A Degas Painting, A Blind Date, and a Birthday Party. Review: Smash – “The Cost of Art”
Rehearsals for “Marilyn: The Musical” get underway; Eileen (Angelica Huston) finds a way to finance the show; and Karen (Katherine McPhee) receives help from an unusual source. The title, “The Cost of Art,” seems to have quite a few meanings relative to the episode—the literal cost of the painting Eileen has to sell, the emotional toll selling the painting to finance the musical takes, and the lengths to which the actors, director and producer will go to make a musical great.

Review: The Walking Dead “18 Miles Out”
On a one-to-ten scale, the suspense in “18 Miles Out” is at a 15. I thought for sure Rick was meeting his end, not to mention Shane finding himself trapped by Walkers with no way out. Talk about being on the edge of your seat!

Review: New Girl “Bully” (Scissors, Cheese and Schmidt is a Sex Dog)
I laughed more than once and quite loudly actually, during “Bully.” We’re getting back to the good stuff it seems and it’s about damn time. I’d like to see Winston have a better role on the show and I don’t know, maybe some more funny scenes overall.

The King of Swing vs The Gentleman Criminal, Review: White Collar – “Stealing Home”
What do you get when you mix a popular, careful, smart criminal with a con artist like Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer), then stir in an undercover, FBI-sanctioned sting operation and add a pinch of Yankee Stadium? Magic. Tim DeKay’s directorial debut with “Stealing Home” not only adds emotional resonance to the weekly crime caper, but moves the story of Neal’s pending commutation hearing along with the easy pacing of a seasoned director.

Review: #JustifiedFX “When the Guns Come Out” (Not too many guns but plenty of thugs, whores, and pimps)
Trust your gut instincts. I should have trusted mine about Winona (Natalie Zea) wanting to high-tail it out of town. Not only has Winona been gone for weeks, everyone and their mothers seem to know she’d already checked out of the relationship with Raylan (Timothy Olyphant). I wish I would have put two and two together from the first episode when a State Trooper had to find Winona to tell her Raylan had been shot. Was I so blind? Too blind to see what’s in front of me because I was wishing and hoping Raylan had found some semblance of normalcy with Winona? So what else am I missing that I may have been temporarily blind to previously?

Make Them Non-Kosher. Review: 2 Broke Girls – “And the Kosher Cupcakes”
The fact that Sophie is unaware of Sergiusz’s homosexuality is strange, because he’s flamboyantly gay, expressing pleasant shock at her “orange traffic cones.”

Don’t Eat the Soup! Review: Lost Girl – “Food for Thought”
She hasn’t watched enough Lost Girl to know that Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) does whatever she wants, whenever she wants. That’s part of her appeal, seeing where her actions take her. She hasn’t suffered nearly enough consequences, but this time, she falls deathly ill.

A Former Love, A Despised Love and Family Love. Review: Smash, S1, E3 – “Enter Mr. DiMaggio”
“Do you think he gave me the part because I slept with him?” ~ Ivy (Megan Hilty) to Jessica (Savannah Wise). Not only is this question on Ivy’s mind, it’s on everyone else’s too. As well it should be since it seems Derek (Jack Davenport) will stop at nothing to get his way. It amazes me that Ivy believes the hogwash Derek feeds her. She may be experienced when it comes to Broadway productions, but she’s a bit naïve when it comes to matters of the heart. Perhaps it’s those rose-colored glasses she’s wearing.

Love, Divorce, and a Failed Meth Lab. Review: Shameless, S2, E7 – “A Bottle of Jean Nate” @SHO_Kareem
Jasmine (Amy Smart) fails to tell Fiona (Emily Rossum) that Steve (Justin Chatwin) and his wife Estefania (Stephanie Fantauzzi) will be among the guests at her end-of-summer bash aboard her lover’s yacht. Frank (William H. Macy) is having a really hard time dealing with his mother, and Kev (Steve Howey) can’t handle Ethel’s (Madison Davenport) disappearance. Karen (Laura Wiggins) regrets her decision to marry Jody (Zach McGowan), and Lip (Jeremy Allen White) and Ian (Cameron Monaghan) finally work things out. Another terrific episode of Shameless!

Review: The Walking Dead “Triggerfinger” (Lori is Stirring Up Trouble… Shane Better Watch Out)
“Triggerfinger” brings a lot of insight to the group as a whole. Glenn is down on himself for being so self-absorbed, but is that a bad thing? Darryl is pulling away from the group but Carol is determined to keep him from straying too far. Shane is going off the deep end and trying to take Lori with him.

Review: The Vampire Diaries “All My Children” (This Ain’t Your Mama’s Soap Opera)
“All My Children” is a solid episode. After being left in suspense for quite a few scenes, the ending is what really sets me on edge. The cliffhangers are killer (pun intended) and the writers know just what to do to get keep us clamoring for more.

Review: New Girl “Valentine’s Day” (Where Is The Love?)
I want to see Jess in her element but going above and beyond in the laughs department without choking on a cherry. We know Jess is not like other girls but Deschanel just doesn’t play up her talents the way she should.

Review: #JustifiedFX “Thick As Mud” (The Misadventures of Dewey Crow…to be or not to be…without kidneys?)
As I suspected, Dewey (Damon Herriman) is lying in a bathtub, sans the ice. Poor thing, it appears both kidneys have been removed by Lance (Clayne Crawford) or “Lawrence Nightingale” as Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) calls him, leaving Dewey up the proverbial Shit’s Creek without a boat or a paddle. But, don’t believe everything you see.

Happy Valentine’s Day? Review: 2 Broke Girls – “And the Broken Hearts”
Sadly, no one has a date for Valentine’s Day. Max (Kat Dennings) sarcastically says she wants “real love, like ‘Ice Loves Coco’” but most of the girls’ time is spent visiting Earl in the hospital, which they gladly do.

Light, Meet Dark. Review: Lost Girl – “Dead Lucky”
They’re at the police station and this time, they both decide they need to set some ground rules for their “friends with benefits” status. Did you see how Bo’s face falls when he reminds her they’re not exclusive?

And the Role Goes to… Review: Smash – “The Callback”
I knew the choice of who would play Marilyn would be made sooner rather than later, but I didn’t expect it to happen so soon in the season. It all comes down to this: go with the experienced chorus line girl or the fresh-faced ingénue who captures Marilyn Monroe’s essence? Before I reveal who gets the role of her lifetime, let’s take a look at the episode.
