The Vampire Diaries “The Five”
It’s a combo “take your vampire to college” and flashback happy episode this week. Caroline and Tyler sit out the proceedings but everybody else has a part to play–even (old school) Elijah! And Bonnie still can’t pick new friends for sh-t.
The Vampire Diaries “The Rager”
Once upon a time, in a not so faraway Mystic(al) land, a beautiful young girl accidentally became a vampire. And she was terrified to find her kindness and good will replaced by blood lust and hatred. She was ashamed that she had a hunger for human blood despite her vampire...
Five OMG Moments from Scandal “Beltway Unbuckled”
Please tell me I’m not the only one that freaked the you-know-what out at the end of the latest mind-blowing episode of Scandal. I seriously don’t know how this show keeps up the pace that it does. It continues to provide a series of explosive moments that has me literally...
Character Development: It’s Game On for Top Gun Wingmen Tony and McGee, NCIS “Lost at Sea”
“Lost at Sea” is one of those NCIS episodes that’s completely team-oriented. It featured a couple of very welcome guest stars in Rick Worthy (Battlestar Galactica, Supernatural) and the return of Law & Order: SVU alum, Diane Neal, as the Coast Guard’s version of Gibbs, CGIS Special Agent Abigail Borin....
Ten Best Moments from Scandal “Hunting Season”
Watching ABC’s Scandal is kind of exhausting. The people talk at an incessant pace, the action is constantly moving. In “Hunting Season” alone, scenes raced by going from Olivia Pope’s office to the White House to David’s apartment to a safe house to wherever the President was hunting to the...
The Vampire Diaries “Memorial”
In the Smallville episode where Clark didn’t actually marry Lois, there was a moment as he walked down the aisle of the church, past his friends and his mom when John Schneider appeared on the other side of Annette O’Toole in the pew and I lost it. There was a...
Arrow “Pilot”
Every fall season, there’s a show that catches a lot of buzz, which also means there is a companion show on the same network that is scapegoated. We’ve been hearing how supertacular awesome Arrow is since May. And how awful Beauty and the Beast is. Well, I forgot Arrow was...
My “It Clicked” Episode: Revolution “Soul Train”
OK, it’s time to call it. The fifth episode of the new NBC series, Revolution, is when the show finally clicked with me on all levels. Before “Soul Train,” I enjoyed aspects of the show. With this latest installment, creator Eric Kripke ramped up the drama, suspense and made everything...
The Vampire Diaries “Growing Pains”
Welcome to season four of The Vampire Diaries! I’m your host, Heather. This is a season of new beginnings as Elena has to face the choice that was made for her, and everybody around her gets to deal with it in variable shades of acceptance.
Hell on Wheels: Blood Moon/Blood Moon Rising
Hell on Wheels wrapped it second season in epically poetic fashion, and really with turns of plot that could only go the way they went. That AMC foretold one of the most powerful scenes with its teaser was an extreme disservice to its viewers, and it diluted the fallout. Shame...

Let’s Talk About Will Trent
[Spoilers for “The Blank Expanse of Nothing”] It’s been a minute since I’ve had a good, old-fashioned rant about a TV series, so I’m overdue. If you’ve followed me on IG the last few years (hi!), you know that I yell often and loud about my love for Will Trent....
Tim Rozon Looks Back on SurrealEstate
[Warning: All the spoilers ahead.] To close out our SurrealEstate coverage (for now), I chatted with Tim Rozon about Season 3 and getting the band back together. For the third season, production moved from Newfoundland to Ottawa, and Rozon was ready to dive back in. “We were in a...

George R. Olson and Tim Rozon Share Their Gratitude for SurrealEstate’s Run
Since SurrealEstate wrapped its third season six months ago, I’ve checked about once a week to see whether there was any news on cancelled or renewed. As long as there was no decision, there was still hope for a fourth season. This week, series creator George R. Olson let the...
Hulu’s Paradise S1 Weaves Past and Present to Unravel a Murder
One of the nice things about the symbiosis of the entertainment conglomerates is that sometimes streaming shows make their way over to linear outlets. Case in point: ABC has given Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building a primetime slot (after of course tweaking the language for FCC regs) during its...
Scott McCord Talks About Victor’s Expanding World in From Season 3
Closing out our From Season 3 coverage (which you can find here), in the second part of my conversation with Scott McCord, we talk about Victor’s new friendship with Sara, reconnecting with Tabitha, and what might be next for Victor when Season 4 returns in 2026. As we’ve talked about...
Dennis Heaton Talks Murder in a Small Town
Murder in a Small Town wraps its first season Tuesday night on FOX in the US and Wednesday night on Global TV in Canada. For US viewers, it’s been a neat addition to the usual FOX fare to have a slower-paced, small-town murder mystery with a parade of CdnTV peeps...
Harold Perrineau Talks From Season 3
[Warning: Includes spoilers for the Season 3 finale.] How are you doing, FROMily? That finale was A LOT. Thankfully we know we’re going to get more of this story, and you have a year and change to work on your Venn diagram deciphering the OMG WTFery of it all. Last...
Scott McCord Talks From Season 3
From the jump (pun intended), I’ve been a staunch advocate of Victor (and Scott McCord, who plays him), and this season, he’s been put through it. On the heels of sending Tabitha off into the unknown and having her return with his father, he unearths the long-suppressed memory that as...
Corteon Moore Talks From Season 3
From has always been really good about delighting us with mix-and-match character pairings, and this season, we’ve seen Jade and Tabitha, Sara and Victor, Henry and Victor, and Kenny and Acosta team up. As Ellis, Corteon Moore has spent a chunk of time this season paired up with Pegah Ghafoori...

WARNING: Spoilers for Survivor’s Remorse “Closure” The latest episode of Starz’s Survivor’s Remorse featured conversations that showed characters really digging deep into their thoughts, emotions and motivations.
Two Takes: The Catch “The Knock-Off”
Who can you trust? If this episode of The Catch was any indication, the answer is just about nobody. Betrayal was running rampant as Felicity (Shivani Ghai) arose from the dead to seduce-con Margot, Gretchen (Maria Thayer, Gotham, The Mindy Project) played gold-hearted Alice 2.0 before swindling Ethan, Tessa jumped...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from Supergirl “Worlds Finest”
Oh, Supergirl. That ending was cold. But I can’t hate on you because the latest episode has quickly become one of my favorites.
What Lucifer Said: Favorite quotes from Supernatural “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”
Supernatural episodes are almost always funny but thanks to the dialogue and a certain man speaking said dialogue, I laughed a lot during “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” You know, when I wasn’t busy fearing for Sam’s life or wondering what in the world was going on with Dean and...
3 Moments of Goodness from Brooklyn Nine-Nine “Johnny and Dora”
The most satisfying part of this season’s finale has to the Jake and Amy kiss. Well, they kiss three times but the last one is the best one — and it means something. The Charles and Rosa dynamic was also great. I love how she’s convinced he doesn’t know anything...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from Supernatural “Angel Heart”
Okay, that was my favorite of all the Claire episodes. In the beginning I think this arc was a bit shaky, to be honest. But I think it ended strong and that’s thanks to the chemistry between the actors as well as the strength of the writing, courtesy of Robbie...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from New Girl “Landline”
Jess has a ladyboner for a new teacher, with a pretty inappropriate last name. I approve. Coach, ever the player, gets in trouble at school for dating (I’m using the term euphemistically here) two school employees at the same time. And Nick imagines himself a sort of secretary when they...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from The Vampire Diaries “I’ll Remember”
Season 5 Episode 1: “I’ll Remember” Writer: Caroline Dries This is odd. It’s an episode of The Vampire Diaries and there’s only one favorite quote from Damon. Of course, he was only in one scene. There are a few Hallucination!Damon quotes included though. What were some of your favorite quotes...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from Brooklyn Nine-Nine “Undercover”
Before we get to my favorite quotes from the episode – and there are kind of a lot, so prepare yourself, let’s take a quick look at what when down in this season 2 premiere. Jake’s back from his undercover assignment and apparently he didn’t miss that much while he...
