Character Development: Esposito’s Past is Revealed, Castle “Under the Influence”
Castle “Under the Influence” was strictly a case of the week episode. There was no Beckett and Castle romance goodness (although we loved that exchange between Caskett and Espo about Valentine’s Day. Side note: can you even imagine Beckett watching that movie?) but we did get a chance to learn…
Revenge “Sabotage”
Every time I read or hear the word “sabotage,” the song of the same name by the Beastie Boys comes into my head. (Now it’s in your head! At least it’s a good song) Think of it as your very own soundtrack for this blog. Or think I’m a dork,…
Merlin “Arthur’s Bane — Part Two”
The last twenty minutes of Merlin took all of my speculation about the direction in which the show is going and tossed it out the window. I thought Mordred might be Arthur’s bane. Wrong. I thought Mordred was in league with Morgana. Wrong. Instead, we learned that Arthur is indeed…
Person of Interest “Prisoner’s Dilemma”
We had just announced our 2012 Most Memorable episodes, but I can guarantee you that last night’s episode of Person of Interest is already on my potential list for 2013. “Prisoner’s Dilemma†was spectacular, top-notch, and it’s going to be very hard for any episode to top it – whether…

Chicago Fire “Under The Knife”
Relationships – romantic and family. Both types can cause someone to do some really crazy things that they normally would not do. Many characters in tonight’s Chicago Fire  learned this lesson the hard way. The first one goes to Peter Mills (Charlie Barnett) and Gabriela Dawson (Monica Raymund). I don’t…
NCIS “Shabbat Shalom”
For those who have watched NCIS from the beginning, there are certain episodes that were so fantastic that you never forget them. The ones for me off the top of my head are “Twilight†where Caitlin Todd (Sasha Alexander) is murdered or “Judgment Day†where Director Shepard (Lauren Holly) is…
Guest Star Goodness: Castle “Significant Others”
[Warning: Major spoilers for Castle “Significant Others”] “Significant Others” brought back Castle’s whirlwind of an ex-wife.

Merlin “Arthur’s Bane Part 1”
