It Was So Good To See You: Guide to Guest Stars (Wk of 10/16)
It was another full week of interesting guest stars on my favorite shows this past week, starting with actor James Read and actress Jessica Tuck appearing on the Monday night episode of Castle as very rich battling spouses who shared ownership of a valuable piece of art that was stolen….
It Was So Good To See You (Week of August 28)
Once again it was great to see some very interesting guest stars on my favorite summer shows this past week. Let’s start with Sunday night (August 28) and the episodes of The Glades, Drop Dead Diva, Against the Wall and Leverage. First, actors James McCaffrey and Billy Lush both appeared…
2011 Emmy Watch
The 2011 Emmy nominations were announced this morning, and hot damn! did they get it right for so many new nominees. There were the usual snubs, which suck, but I’m focusing on the positive.
It Was So Good To See You (Week of June 27th)
Over the course of the past week, there were some familiar faces who showed up on some of my favorite summer cable shows. First, on June 27, actors Jason Brooks and Austin Butler showed up on the new ABC Family Channel series Switched at Birth. Austin was the other member of…
Finale Watch: The Killing “Orpheus Descending”
We weigh in on The Killing’s Season 1 finale. Heather M.’s Take Oh, hell no. It was about 15 minutes into the episode when I realized they were taking too long and it dawned on me that we were getting a cliffhanger. GAH. If it hadn’t been renewed, I’d have been…
The Killing Marathon on AMC
The other day in my renewal tidbit, I groused that we weren’t getting a season one marathon of The Killing before the finale tomorrow. Well, I just found in my TV listings that Sundance Channel is marathoning the first season from 4 pm to 10 pm ET today (episodes 1-6) and tomorrow (episodes 7-12). Yay!
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…
AMC’s The Killing is Renewed for a Second Season
Hell, yeah. After a jaw-dropper ending last night, today The Killing was renewed for a second season. Now if only AMC would dump the movies planned for Sunday and marathon season one running up to the finale at 10 pm EDT instead…
Moment(s) of Goodness: The Killing “The Missing”
It’s a rare show that will stop to smell the roses and build a back story on its characters. Even rarer when it’s in a limited run/not yet renewed, and the core focus is a murder mystery, but that’s exactly what The Killing did Sunday night. Two episodes shy of its finale,…
Relationship Recap: Linden and Holder Come to a New Understanding, The Killing “Stonewalled”
I’ve actually enjoyed the antagonistic and somewhat distrustful relationship Linden and Holder have had up until this episode. I’m not entirely convinced Linden can play nice with any partner so I’ve just accepted that theirs would be an adversarial partnership. I like it when partners aren’t on the same page…
