Character Development: Lydia Gets Her Man in Southland’s “Off Duty”

Character Development: A Dark and Scary Rick Castle, Castle “Target”
In my preview for “Target” I said this about Rick Castle’s quest to find his kidnapped daughter, Alexis: “Get ready for a Rick Castle you’ve never seen before. He’s scared for his daughter. And at one point in the episode, he’s scary in the name of his daughter. Haven’t seen…
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…

Character Development: The Bond Between Maker & Child, True Blood “We’ll Meet Again”

Character Development: Tony DiNozzo’s Reason for Becoming a Cop, NCIS “Rekindled”
Love that the name of this episode of CBS’s number one drama is “Rekindled.” The definition of “rekindle” is relight (as in a fire). A second definition is revive or renew. Both meanings came into play in this latest NCIS. A few blasts of fire ended up rekindling one of…
NCIS “The Good Son”
Another week, another family member of an NCIS employee that’s in trouble with the law. We’ve seen this before. Tony’s dad, McGee’s sister and grandmother, Gibbs’ mother-in-law — they’ve all been suspects or have been somewhat involved in cases NCIS has investigated. This time around, it’s Vance’s brother-in-law. He was…
Character Development, Danny Reagan on Blue Bloods “The Job”

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…
