It Was So Good To See You (Week of September 4th)
As the summer shows come to an end, the cable networks keep on casting some great guest stars on my favorite shows. Here are some of the familiar faces that I found: The Glades aired it season finale on a special night – Labor Day – on September 5. This…
Guest Star Goodness: The Killing “Beau Soleil”
I can’t believe we’ve already arrived at the penultimate episode of The Killing. I wouldn’t say there were too many red herrings (especially since we don’t actually know who the killer is yet) but I do think we (meaning the cops) got a little too sidetracked for my taste. I…
Postscript: Human Target
FOX officially cancelled Human Target last night, which is a real drag because the show had found its footing in a second season that saw significant tinkering behind the scenes and in front of the camera while still retaining all the whimsy that made its first season so awesome. That’s…
Deja View: Being Human’s Sam Huntington
In the past we’ve only used Deja View to talk about guest stars or characters with minor recurring status. We’re upgrading this topic so we can discuss Sam Hungtington. We like him on Being Human and since we’re not caught up on the US version of this show, we’ll take…
Human Target “Marshall Pucci”
I hope this is isn’t the last thing I ever write about Human Target, but if it is, thank you so much for reading my reviews. I hope they were as fun to read as they were to write.
It Was So Good To See You (Week of February 7th)
The new NBC series The Cape may be on its last legs not only because of its less than stellar ratings but also because of the network’s recent decision to cut its episode order, but I have to admit that the show did get one thing right. It cast actor…
Human Target “Kill Bob”
Excuse while I nerd out a minute about John Terlesky directing this episode. I remember him from my misbegotten 80s childhood in front of the TV. Ahem. Thank you. This first of the double run (the second one is the one I reviewed last week) is a fairly straightforward stop-the-spy-from-killing-her-husband…
Human Target “The Trouble with Harry”
Okay, so I’m going to make a liar out of myself and back off the no-ship opinion I had before, because, frankly, if Human Target rolls up the rug next week, I’m okay if Chance and Ilsa get together. I have a feeling we’re going to be a bit cliffhangery with…
Human Target “Cool Hand Guerrero”
Because I am a huge nerd, the opening scene in “Cool Hand Guerrero†made me hugely happy for two reasons. One, it was shot in the “pick something/they shot it here†2400 Motel. Two, Guerrero’s doomed buddy was played by John Cassini, one of the stars of the Canadian series,…
Human Target “Imbroglio”
A night at the opera for the team (minus Ames, who called in sick, but Chance offers that he heard slot machines in the background—hee!) goes sideways when they find themselves in the middle of what would seem to be a high-class kidnapping. The episode begins with Ilsa dressed to…

Catching Up with Ted Lasso and Previewing Season 2
[Warning: General spoilers ahead.] The not so dirty little secret about how I approach a new series is that I sometimes make a call based on the headspace I’m in at the time. It’s been a minute since I’ve picked up a show after the first season and then binge…

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…

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…
