Week 9 is a critical week; it’s the semi-finals. During rehearsal this week, Hines’ partner Kym suffered a serious injury and was carried away on a stretcher, but since she’s here, I’m taking that as a good sign. This week, everyone has three dances to do – two individual dances and a Winner-Takes-All Cha Cha.

“What is the worst that can happen?” Such a telling statement from Jackie (Edie Falco) to calm Grace’s (Ruby Jerins) fears as she puts the finishing touches on Grace’s costume for the Saints Pageant at school. With Kevin (Dominic Fumusa) watching and beaming with pride, Fiona (Mackenzie Aladjem) feeds Grace her lines so she can practice—the very picture of domesticity. Except we all know that’s not exactly the truth.

Air Date: Sunday, May 15, 2011, 10 pm ET/PT [rating=5] 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 …

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.

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.

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.

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 …

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.”

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

“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.

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.
May 05 2011
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.

Sooner rather than later, though, it’s Sabrina who gets stuck cleaning the trout. Now the competition is on!

Tara’s (Toni Collette) feeling pretty confident that the contract with her alters is working. However, convincing Dr. Hattaras (guest star Eddie Izzard) isn’t going as well as she hoped. Max (John Corbett) struggles with his new job and isnt’ getting the support at home he needs. And Neil invites Charmaine and Tara’s mother Beverly (guest star Pamela Reed) for a visit…unbeknownst to them.

As we have learned, Kendra Wilkinson left “Dancing with the Stars” tonight. While she has progressed beautifully over the weeks, she hasn’t kept up quite as well as the other contestants. For a recap of the evening, read on dancing fans.

So atop the leader board this week, we have a tie between Ralph and Karina, and Hines and Kym. For me, the one to go home tomorrow should be either Kirstie or Romeo. Don’t get me wrong – I like them, but they’re not bringing it as well as some of the others.

“When the Saints Go” is chock full of dark comedy, light humor and plenty of pathos, and is a classic example of why I love “Nurse Jackie.”
May 02 2011
Yes, it is a definite contender for my favorite of the series. Though I think “Outlander” is safe in its number one spot.
May 01 2011
I’m sure I’m not the only person thinking this, but I don’t think we’ll find out who Rosie’s killer is until the final episode. I have no clue anymore. The suspects are all duly suspicious, but do they truly have motives for wanting to do away with Rosie?

Change. This season, it’s all about change. Change in the workplace and change in personal lives. “The Art of the Steal” is a terrific season opener. It’s fast-paced, Mary and Marshall play off each other beautifully, and the addition of new characters should provide us with plenty of laughs going forward, as Mary learns how to deal with them.

Is it just me or is Booth (David Boreanaz) a bit more cocky, even more short-tempered than normal? Why is he questioning Hodgins’ (TJ Thyne) presence at the crime scene? I mean, Hodgins is the bug and dirt guy, so why wouldn’t he be there? Yes, he’s not always there on every case, but I just didn’t like how Booth questioned his being there – he was being slightly rude.
