Character Development: A Glimpse at Diggle’s Personal Life, Arrow “Keep Your Enemies Closer”
It should come as no surprise to anyone who reads this blog that we here at TV Goodness are big fans of Diggle. He’s tough, loyal and part of our favorite TV trio, which is why we were so excited that this episode was Diggle-centric. Not only did we learn…
Character Development: Calder Michaels Shows His True Colors, Covert Affairs “River Euphrates”
Damn you, Hill Harper, and your awesome charisma! Y’all know that I bitched long and loud when I felt like the Covert Affairs season premiere told us what we were supposed to think about Calder Michaels. And then I Mea Culpa‘d when we were shown that he could actually be…
Character Development: Sara’s Island Past Revealed, Arrow “League of Assassins”
Its time for secrets to surface. From the get go, this episode was all about Sara and I was more than ready to get the scoop. I love getting more back story on our mysterious characters (learning more about island Sara inevitably means learning more about island Oliver) and this…
Character Development: Detective Lance Faces an Old Foe, Arrow “Broken Dolls”
This week’s episode was filled with so much good (and creepy) stuff, but nothing stood out more than Detective Lance. He was the MVP of this episode as far as I’m concerned and I figured it was the perfect week to highlight how far he’s come. While I’ve never disliked…
Character Development: Arrow’s “Identity” Crises
Titled “Identity,†this episode saw our favorite Starling City residents face, acknowledge and attempt to accept their secrets and the various identities affiliated with each. And I loved it. We know that most residents of this city have some sort of secret and I like that the show is finally…
Character Development: Olivia and her Dad’s twisted relationship revealed, Scandal “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinnerâ€
“We are family, sweetie. We’re never done.” –Eli Pope (aka Rowan aka Command) The first two episodes of Scandal’s season three has taught us a lot about Olivia Pope. More than ever before, in fact. I was always mildly curious about Liv’s past but I was more obsessed with her…
Character Development: Scarlett Takes a Stand, Nashville “Never No More” [+ Other Highlights]
I didn’t ever think I’d type the following words: Scarlett is becoming one of my favorite characters on this show. Last season I saw her as a bit of a doormat, at least where Avery was concerned. I understand that she was in love with him and that she’d been…
Character Development: Something’s Going on with Eva, Hell on Wheels “The Game”
Kara has already astutely covered Bohannon’s evolution in “The Game,” and aside from being overly concerned that Bohannon was going to lose his horse, the other thing that stuck for me about this episode of Hell on Wheels is that I think something is seriously going on with Eva, and…
Character Development: Bohannon Grows a Conscience, Hell on Wheels “The Game”
I’ve really been enjoying this season so far. Anson Mount‘s Cullen Bohannon seems to be growing as a human being – even if it is very much against his will. He cleaned himself up and got his act together to get his Union Pacific job back and now he spares…
Character Development: TK Breaks Up with Sheera, Necessary Roughness “Sympathy for the Devil”
Season three of Necessary Roughness has come to a close and after watching last Wednesday’s episode, there is no doubt in my mind that TK has earned the title of MVP of this season (but hopefully not series) finale. I have LONG been a TK fan, but that doesn’t mean…

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.

What They Said: Top 4 Quotable Moments from Black Sails “XXIII”
The dialogue in “XXIII” is phenomenal. It’s always a fun ride when Black Sails carries its viewers along without giving them the chance to catch their breath. When an episode moves at this unforgiving pace, there is no chance for a breather nor is there a respite from the information…

What they Said: Top 4 Quotable Moments from Graceland “Little Bo Bleep”
Shoot outs. Fake outs. And long-awaited revelations. “Little Bo Bleep” was a jam-packed episode that wrapped up some loose ends and totally frayed others. Â It finally gave us one Sarkissian in jail and pulled back the curtain on Briggs’ master plan, but it also set up Jakes for a world…

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…
