The CW’s The Vampire Diaries’ Season 3 Preview
So, it’s just about that time again. Where we catch our breath, clutch our pearls, and OMG it through another season of The Vampire Diaries. In some ways it seems like “only season three?” and in others it seems like “shouldn’t these kids be out of high school already?” (not that…
Finale Watch: Dean Has Lisa and Ben’s Memories Erased on Supernatural “Let It Bleed”
The moment we found the most affecting over the two-hour season finale of Supernatural involved Dean, Ben, and Lisa. I guess we always knew nothing good would come of Dean’s involvement with Lisa and Ben. Just by having them in his life, he made them targets. Crowley tries to use…
Finale Watch: Hellcats “I’m Sick Y’all”
Wow. The Hellcats PTB really thought they were coming back. On the opposite end of the spectrum from One Tree Hill, the Hellcats season (and series) finale planted several seeds for another season.
Finale Watch: One Tree Hill “This Is My House, This Is My Home”
It’s got to be hell in the writers room at One Tree Hill. Every year, they craft these very elaborate finales that would appropriately conclude the series, and then they get handed another season. Last night’s season finale (the 8th!) would have stood as a true finale, and I have…
Postscript: Adios, Hellcats
Tom Welling is going to be pissed. He lost both CW gigs this week. Hellcats, which he was producing alongside his on-and-offscreen Smallville duties, has been cancelled. I get it though.

Relationship Recap: Blair Tells Chuck to Grow Up on Gossip Girl “The Kids Stay in the Picture”
I will ship Blair and Chuck until the day I die. Or until the end of the series, whichever comes first. Although sometimes I get tired of their little games I do believe they belong together and as long as it happens eventually I’ll be happy. I don’t mind when…
I’m in a Codependent Relationship With Gossip Girl
I do not have a functional, healthy relationship with Gossip Girl. At first we were hot and heavy and deeply in lust. I looked forward to seeing it every week. Was I wearing the right thing? I mean, I had to be fashionable. We’re talking about a show that knows…
We Need to Know: Did Brittani Deserve to be Sent Home for Her Unprofessional Behavior on ANTM?
I have to say it’s been so much more fun watching this show after appointing myself as the fifth judge. Although every single girl has reached her breaking poing with Alexandria, Brittani’s behavior on set was extremely unprofessional. Do I want to see Alexandria gone? More than you know. But…
