The Blacklist “The Mombasa Cartel”
If The Blacklist were ever going to give us a Halloween episode, then “The Mombasa Cartel (No. 114)” with its cabin in the woods housing a giant, howling man with the mom-sanctioned hobby of hunting, killing, skinning and then taxiderm-ing human beings is as close as we’re going to get….
The Blacklist “The Front”
Previously, on The Blacklist: Red’s ex-wife, now named Naomi Hyland (Mary-Louise Parker: Weeds, Angels in America) accepts his offer of protection after her cheating dog of a husband, Frank (Lee Tergesen: OZ; Desperate Houswives) acquiesces to Red’s ever-so-polite request that he think about what’s best for Naomi. Lizzie tries to…
The Blacklist “Dr. Linus Creel”
Previously, on The Blacklist: I finally get worn down, and officially could not care less if Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone) and Red Reddington (James Spader) are in any way related. Not at all. Red’s ex-wife, Naomi Hyland (Mary-Louise Parker: Weeds) is kidnapped by a raging psychotic who wants revenge on…
The Blacklist “Dr. James Covington”
So, not much has changed this week on The Blacklist: Elizabeth (Megan Boone) is still living in crap motels, hanging out in her underwear and re-arranging her wall of crazy (at least it’s off the ceiling). Please. Lizzie, just rent an apartment; if Tom (Ryan Eggold) or any of the…
The Blacklist “The Kingmaker”
Our Blacklister this week, The Kingmaker (Linus Roache, Vikings, Titanic) is my favorite Bad Guy of the Week so far. He’s ambitious; he sees the big picture; he’s a snappy dresser. He really should get his own show. You know, if he wasn’t so dead. He’s like the anti-Olivia Pope; he’s…
The Blacklist “Anslo Garrick Part 1”
What I want for Christmas, all I want, really, is to get a collected volume of the Wit and Wisdom of Raymond Reddington (James Spader). If there isn’t already a tumblr for that (and why shouldn’t there be? Someone get on that) there at least has to be some monkey in a…
Moment of Goodness: Carrie and Saul [SPOILER], Homeland “Game On”
[WARNING: Major spoilers for tonight’s Homeland] OK, every time I think Homeland is teetering on the brink of disaster, something saves it for me. In last week’s “Tower of David,” I just couldn’t understand the pacing of the episode with so much of it taken up with all that Fugitive…
Plot Twist: Ryan Eggold’s Tom Keen is a [SPOILER], The Blacklist “Pilotâ€
I loved that ending. Of course Red knows that Liz’s husband is a spy. The bigger and more interesting question is why didn’t Liz know? She’s an FBI-trained profiler. It’s her job to study people and discover what they’re trying to hide, what they’re trying not to tell her. I…

Premature Infatuation: The Blacklist [VIDEO]
It has been a long, long time since a television series has really caught my eye, but NBC’s The Blacklist has definitely piqued my interest.  To make it even better, it stars James Spader.  I’ve never really watched The Office, but was an avid viewer of Boston Legal.  Ever since Boston’s cancellation, I’ve been hoping the…

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…

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?”

What They Said: The Flash, “Legends Of Today” and Arrow, “Legends Of Yesterday”

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…
