Elijah’s main concern is being rid of his brother rather than retaliating for being “killed.” Dagger through the heart, remember? Wouldn’t you want revenge if everyone who had something to do with killing you were close at hand?

Review: Justified, Season 1, Ep 12 “Reckoning”
Raylan is hellbent on finding out who the trigger man was; he’s pretty sure it’s Dickie (Jeremy Davies). But he can’t prove it. And Dickie isn’t a fool. He planted his accomplice Jed’s (Richard Speight, Jr.) blood at the crime scene just in case. What Raylan doesn’t know yet is why Dickie was at Arlo’s in the first place.

Review: United States of Tara, Season 3, Ep 305 “Dr. Hattaras’ Miracle Elixir”
Dr. Hattaras (guest star Eddie Izzard) becomes obsessed with Tara’s condition, even to the point of ordering crab tortellini at the Olive Garden (he’s deathly allergic to crab). And Charmaine is ready to sacrifice animals to Satan if it will help little Wheels stop crying.

Review: The Borgias, Season 1, Ep 105 “The Borgias in Love”
The Pope (Jeremy Irons) has a guilty conscience as evident through his nightmares about Lucrezia (Holliday Grainger). As he pulls his daughter’s pale lifeless body from the shallow pool within the Vatican walls, he asks, “Will God ever forgive me?” It’s Lucrezia’s answer that haunts him, “God may forgive you father, but I never will.”

Review – Nurse Jackie, Season 3, Episode 5 – “Rat Falls”
“Rat Falls” is not only one of the funniest episodes of “Nurse Jackie,” it’s one of the saddest. The rat isn’t the only one who falls.

Review – The Killing, Season 1, Episode 5 – “Super 8”
There are theories floating around about Rosie’s killer and I’m inclined to come up with my own. Though, I don’t know who to point the finger at.

Review: Bones, Season 6, Ep 19 “The Finder”
“The Finder” was absolutely entertaining! It was dubbed the intro to the new characters of a potential spin-off series of the same name by Bones creator Hart Hanson and I have to say, I want more of “The Finder.” And Geoff Stults gets down to his boxers!

Review: The Vampire Diaries, Season 2, Ep 19 “Klaus”
I wasn’t a big fan of Alaric being possessed only because I don’t like to see him as a bad guy, and I wanted to see the person known as Klaus. It was a bit of a copout but now, I see the benefits.

Review: Justified, Season 2, Ep 11 “Full Commitment”
“Full Commitment” was a bit bloody and very sad. A Givens does die but it’s not the Givens you think. Dickie was out for blood, he just shot the wrong person. Or did he? Maybe he did it on purpose? The power shift in both Bennett and Harlan Counties is coming to a nasty head.

Review – Raising Hope, Season 1, Episode 19 “Cheaters”
Rating: [rating=2] Hiatus ends, and we get this? Hit the snooze button, folks, you didn’t miss a thing. Jimmy (Lucas Neff) has been crushing on his coworker Sabrina (Shannon Woodward) since the start of the season. I can’t figure out why this is; she is the least interesting character on this show. In “Cheaters,” Sabrina is …

Review: The Borgias, Season 1, Ep 104 “Lucrezia’s Wedding”
Despite the title “Lucrezia’s Wedding” it is not solely about Lucrezia’s upcoming nuptials to the grim Giovani Sforza (Ronan Vibert). Her marriage is a key political move orchestrated by her father, Pope Alexander VI (Jeremy Irons). Lucrezia is only 14 years old. She is inexperienced in so many things, it breaks my heart to see her so wide-eyed and naïve as to how things will be in her new marriage.

Review – Nurse Jackie, Season 3, Episode 4 – “Mittens”
Once again our favorite nurse searches for new hiding places for her stash of drugs. At least, Jackie (Edie Falco) and Dr. O’Hara (Eve Best) have mended fences. That makes me happy. I love their heart-to-hearts.

Review: Camelot, Season 1, Ep 104 “Lady of The Lake”
I am beginning to fall in love with this version of Camelot! It’s not the like the stories I’d heard growing up about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Starz has created a truly grown-up version and I am relishing in its tenacious grip. It evokes a sense of darkness and coveting I’ve never experienced in any other retelling of the tale.

Review – The Killing, Season 1, Episode 4 – “A Soundless Echo”
At this point, I have no idea who killed Rosie Larsen. I think that’s the point and though not being able to figure out this mystery taunts me, I’m going along with it.

Book Review: “Dragonfly in Amber” by Diana Gabaldon
“Claire Randall, a widowed time-traveling doctor, returns to Scotland twenty years later with her daughter Brianna in tow. Her search for her long thought dead husband, Jamie Fraser, leads her to question just how strong the bond of love is—can it withstand time, injustice and even death?”

Review: Supernatural, Season 6, Ep 17 “My Heart Will Go On”
Immediately, you get the sense that something is not right. Thanks to Balthazar (Sebastian Roche), of all demons.

Review – The Vampire Diaries, Season 2, Episode 18 – “The Last Dance”
I’m okay with Nina Dobrev playing two characters, but I’m not feeling Matthew Davis being evil so much. It doesn’t suit him. It’s almost as bad as Stefan (Paul Wesley) being the naughty brother for two episodes.

Sugar Ray Goes Down – Recap, “Dancing with the Stars – The Results Show”
“Dancing with the Stars – The Result Show” opened with David Garrett and the Harold Wheeler Orchestra playing a lively number, to which the Dance Troupe performed beautifully. Right off the bat, Tom and Brooke called up Chelsea and Mark, Hines and Kym, and Ralph and Karina.

Review – Nurse Jackie, Season 3, Episode 3 – “Play Me”
The words “Play Me” seem to have more than one meaning besides being the title. Perhaps they refer to God (Michael Buscemi, yes he’s Steve Buscemi’s brother, reprising his role from last season) stealing a street piano so he can play it for Zoey (Merritt Wever); or perhaps to Kevin (Dominic Fumusa), who uses his sister Tunie (Jaimie Alexander) to spy on Jackie for him; or it could be Coop (Peter Facinelli) playing Thor (Stephen Wallum) to get his help with a fantasy football league in the hospital. There’s a lot going on in “Play Me,” and it’s all good.

Review – The Killing, Season 1, Episode 2 – “El Diablo”
As “El Diablo” begins, we are once again faced with City Councilman Darren Richmond (Billy Campbell) and his possible role in the murder of Rosie Larsen. Of course, we’re also reintroduced to the horrific scene of last week’s “The Cage” but we’re still no closer to finding out what happened to Rosie.

Movie Review – “Source Code”
“Source Code” is a glitsy, science fiction version of Harold Ramis’ comedy, “Groundhog Day” combined with the twist you would find in “Twilight Zone.” Gyllenhaal does an admirable job with this movie, which is a relief given the amount of flops he’s been in recently. He captures the nuances of his character beautifully, whether it’s Capt. Stevens or Sean.
