Haven “Spiral”
In case you missed it, Syfy renewed Haven last week, so we were thankfully promised a follow-on to this mind-bender of a first season finale, where we discovered new identities of existing characters, potential new characters with existing identities, and a potential new big bad on the rise. My only…
The Vampire Diaries “Kill or Be Killed”
OK, y’all. Apologies for being tardy, but there was A LOT to process this week. I’m going to review it a little bit differently, because while the scene-by-scene is awesome, it was the little OMG moments that made this episode amazing. Please forgive me if you were looking for specific…
Moment of Goodness: New Characters Add New Life to Desperate Housewives

Hawaii Five-0 “Malama Ka Aina (Respect the Land)”

Haven “The Trial of Audrey Parker”
Okay, so y’all know I’m a champion of Haven on Syfy and I’d love for the network to get off its butt and announce a second season already, but I just was not feeling last Friday’s episode at all. “The Trial of Audrey Parker†takes part almost completely onboard Duke’s…
Lone Star “One in Every Family”
Bob’s gonna need some hip waders. Most of this week’s episode concentrates on the Midland wife and the Houston business. Bob and Lindsay arrive home from their Las Vegas elopement in time for Bob to be jumped at the airport by a guy he bilked of $25K. He feigns mistaken…
How I Met Your Mother “Big Days”
Last season, there were several HIMYM fans who saw a shark in the water. If the sixth season premiere is any indication, it’s safe to swim again. Picking up the Marshall and Lily want to have a baby and Robin is heartbroken threads and weaving them into a standalone of…
