There’s Always a Bigger Baddie, The Originals “Wheel Inside the Wheel”
It was bound to happen. We’ve got a new baddie to contend with on The Orignals. Not just a new baddie, but potentially also another Original sibling. Although, not a vampire Original. A witch Original? We have yet to find out. With 1,000 years of mythology in which to play,…
Everybody Hates Their Parents, The Originals “Alive and Kickingâ€
We’ve got some real mommy-daddy issues going on in The Quarter. “Alive and Kicking†brought both Klaus and Elijah face-to-face with either Esther or Mikael, and amazingly both walked away to tell the tale. (Although, Elijah almost didn’t.) One of The Originals’ strongest elements as a show is that they…
Who’s Holding the Cards? The Originals “Rebirth”
It would be somewhat amazing if we could kick every episode of The Originals off with a recap from Auntie Bex and Baby Hope. Ushering in a new season of mayhem and carnage, The Originals season two premiered Monday night and we were treated to the wandering Original, Rebekah, putting…
Parental Issues, The Originals “From a Cradle to a Grave”
The Originals’ season finale was everything you hoped it could be. In a season where the Big Bad was constantly shifting, it was a guessing game each week to figure out what team to join. (Unless you can be Team Elijah. Then always be Team Elijah.) But the end of…
Brotherly Boundaries, The Originals “The Big Uneasy”
I have to admit, it’s getting difficult to follow the alliance lines on The Originals now, especially after this week’s episode “The Big Uneasy.†Let’s see, Elijah set up a truce amongst the supernatural factions, but nobody really seems to believe it. Genevieve is sleeping with Klaus but plotting to…

Moment of Goodness: It’s all About Elijah, The Originals “Fruit of the Poisoned Tree”
Only two words can describe the last two episodes of The Originals. GAME CHANGER. You have to respect a show that can take its entire premise and spin it on its ear. The Originals has done just that and is now turning into one of the CW’s stronger series. While…
BITE-worthy Moment: Klaus Daggers Elijah, The Originals “Always and Forever”
I did not see that coming. I can honestly say it’s a surprise each and every time Klaus stakes one of his family members through the heart. It’s brutal to watch, but Klaus always has his reasons. I actually like that Elijah and the rest of his siblings keep giving…
The Vampire Diaries “American Gothic”
Elijah is back!!!!! But apparently he’s developed a case of the stupids. In other news, Klaus has to call Caroline in his time of need and she actually comes. And Nina Dobrev does double duty as an automaton this week. No Matt (still!!), April, Liz, Bonnie, or Tyler.
The Vampire Diaries “Dangerous Liaisons”
“Dangerous Liaisons” marks this year’s fancy dress episode, and from a standpoint of bringing the pretty, it succeeded. From the standpoint of bringing the story forward, not so much. But there were a few gem moments. Note: No Bonnie at the ball, or Liz, or Alaric. Boo. No Liz, either….

Thank Me Later: Will Trent
[Warning: spoilers ahead.] I’m on record as loving and losing shows over at ABC so I’m usually very reticent to pick something up on the network until it’s been renewed, and I seriously hope I’m not jinxing it, but I took a chance on the deeply odd and very sweet…
Dennis Heaton Talks The Imperfects
Longtime readers at TV Goodness will know that Motive is one of my ride-or-die series, and as such, I am fiercely loyal to its creator, Dennis Heaton. He followed up that fantastic reverse procedural with Netflix’s The Order and is back on our streaming screens with The Imperfects, which dropped…

Shaun Majumder Talks From “Book 74”
[Warning: Spoilers for tonight’s episode.] Tonight on EPIX’s From, Father Khatri made a bold move, kidnapping Sara instead of turning her in, and then recognizing her as a vessel for some big messages. That startling realization speaks to him on multiple levels–as a man of faith, a man trapped in…

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 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…
What They Said: The Flash, “Legends Of Today” and Arrow, “Legends Of Yesterday”
Two nights of Arrow + The Flash = what more could we ask for?! I don’t know what it is about blending these shows, but I can’t help but feel that every time they come together, they somehow become greater than the sum of their parts. And that’s saying a lot…
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…
