In “Truth or Dare,” Laura (Margot Robbie) and Kate Cameron (Kelli Gardner) face fairly greyish moral and personal dilemmas, all related to ‘boy trouble’ as the show turns to more solemn topics such as the recruitment of Cold War spies and racial barriers. A coffee run and a playful announcement opens up an opportunity for Colette Valois (Karine Vanasse) to spend some quality time with Captain Dean Lowrey (Mike Vogel) in the cockpit.

“Cherokee Rose” feels like a filler episode and I’d like to know what’s coming next that we needed some sort of preparation. There are some positive points to the episode but I don’t feel we learn anything new about the zombie crew (Rick and the gang) or the farmhouse dwellers.

I am a bit perplexed by the opening of “Money on the Floor”—I keep wondering if the woman sitting next to Ray is going to either pick him up or drug him. But I love that about Hung. Sometimes you just don’t know what you’ll get during an episode and those typically are the best ones.

A dream about a steed and an accidental bed wetting headline the opening sequence of Boss’ third episode, “Swallow.” These two themes weigh heavily on Chicago Mayor Tom Kane’s (Kelsey Grammer) mind and for a good reason.

Brotherly love is pretty strong but it is nothing compared to a woman scorned. Now that Rebekah knows the truth about her mother’s death, what do you think she’ll do next? I don’t see her sitting around and doing nothing, that’s for sure.

Finally, the long awaited seventh season begins and we find our lovable couple in the midst of the second trimester. I’m extremely happy to have Bones back each week to salivate over Booth, ooh and ahh over the relationship between the adorable couple, and to dive head first into more interesting cases.

The creepy basement seems to be the beating black heart of the house. Hayden rises from the dead to make sure the truth about her and Ben’s affair is revealed to Vivien. Violet wants to take her relationship with Tate to the next level but they are interrupted by some gnarly teens who hold a grudge against Tate.

I hate to give up on the show but my interest is beginning to fade. So much so, I’m not looking forward to the next episode.

The nicknames Jess comes up with for penis are hilarious: “pee-pee and bubbles,” “le peen,” “bing bong,” “doojer and chickadees,” as are the different ways she says penis without actually saying it. This has to be the most hilarious part of “Naked.”

Feeling nostalgic, Amy thinks it’s a good idea to recreate a trip she took with Levi once and railroads him into going. Her laboratory-like work environment is replaced in favor of the outdoors which has an immediate positive effect on her and Levi. As they kayak down the river, they’re both beaming and having fun. Do Amy and Levi survive their time together?

“Blind Spot” does a nice job of character development, especially with Carrie and Saul. They are both such hard-driven people; it’s refreshing to see their softer, more vulnerable sides. The episode also leads us to another possibility: is Saul the one who’s been turned, and if so, why? Or is there a mole in Estes’ (David Harwood) office? Although the show alone is enough to keep me tuning in week after week, this turn of events makes me even more invested in Homeland. In my opinion, Homeland is the best new show this season on all the networks—broadcast, cable and premium.

Tanya runs around frantic and is at her best when she can’t think straight. Seeking advice doesn’t help and she’s not calm enough to think sharply. This is what I love about Tanya. This is what makes her character amazing and one of the funniest females on television.

Towards the end of “The Genuine Article,” Maggie will make a decision that she’ll regret. Kate struggles with her mission as Dean realizes Ginny is a woman who the words “no” or “stop” work as an aphrodisiac. The complexity in these dynamics may be what Pan Am needs for its storyline to solidly take flight once and for all.

“Save the Last One” drags a bit at points but is saved by Daryl’s comedic chattering, and Shane and Otis’ mad dash through the high school. Talk about suspense.

“Reflex’s” script gives viewers enough information to keep their interest and when the full-reveal comes – the reactive stimuli or ‘reflex’ — proves to be very rewarding. Media coverage is used to advance the plot and how today’s news is manipulated and exploited by both politicians and media organizations is addressed.

You aren’t sure who or what is real anymore. We begin in the year 2010 meeting our two most recent tenants of the house, Chad (guest star Zachary Quinto) and his lover Patrick (Teddy Sears). The once thought murder-suicide of the beloved gay couple turns out to be murder-murder when Pat walks in and finds the latex man with his hands full of dead Chad. The latex man keeps popping up throughout the episode and it’s really creepy! It’s apparent he is another victim of the house but who is this masked intruder? I have a theory on that…but will save it for later.

When I watched this episode last night, it didn’t really tickle my funny bone. But knowing what Sunny is capable of, I decided to watch “Chardee MacDennis: The Game of Games” a second time to be fair. I’m so glad I did. Where I only chuckled once or twice last night, especially when they put Frank in the dog crate, today I was laughing practically non-stop.

I wasn’t sure what to expect after seeing a few of the billboards and the trailers for the show, but overall I enjoyed it immensely. I’m a huge fan of fairytales like Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, etc. I love the fantastical elements of being transported to a faraway world of enchanted forests full of magic and wonder. ABC spares no expense in providing the special effects to give us the allure of the darkness spreading over Snow White and Prince Charming’s happily ever after.

The ”Pilot” introduces characters and dynamics gradually, but just like its key events unfold, they are revealed swiftly. To those paying attention to details, the characters’ motives are transparent but the Mayor’s inner thoughts remain elusive—a clever string-along ploy. This is a well-thought out series with solid performances. With efficient editing to supports its storytelling, Boss doesn’t shy away from the nature of politics while avoiding text-book style clichés.

The ghost story arc is becoming more interesting. There’s a lot being played with there—the ability for a ghost to become a permanent fixture in the real world—and I’d love to know if anymore dead vampires will be popping up.

I enjoyed “The Storm of the Century.” It made me laugh in all the right places—some wrong ones too, if truth be told. I can’t wait to see what the gang is up to in their next adventure.

Being pegged as a taut psychological thriller, Martha Marcy May Marlene does have moments of suspense and psychological intrigue but I won’t go so far as to say it’s a thriller. It is dramatic, for certain, but I definitely was not sitting on pins and needles throughout the film, which to me, is a hallmark of a good thriller. I will say Elizabeth (Lizzie) Olsen’s performance is truly outstanding considering her lack of experience in any mainstream films.

“Murder House” is where the Harmons live, but it’s not where they want to be. While Vivien desperately tries to get the house back on the market as quickly as possible, they have no choice but to stay. Of course, Violet threatening to run away if they sell the house throws a monkey-wrench in the situation. She claims the house has “soul” but I think she means the trapped souls (like Moira)! There has been so much death and macabre deeds done in the house that if it does have a soul, it’s in pain – suffering an unimaginable, unending turmoil.

“Fruit for the Crows” is intense, and wrought with some raw and heated emotions. Full of action, drama, intensity, and plot twists which may lead to something much more deadly for SAMCRO. Alavarez (Emilio Rivera) takes a bullet while Gemma (Katey Sagal) finds the death-threat in Tara’s (Maggie Siff) car. Bobby (Mark Boone Junior) challenges Clay and calls a vote for a new president and Juice (Theo Rossi) is at this rope’s end…literally.
