Character Development: Damon Tries to be a Better Man, The Vampire Diaries
I don’t know about you but I love the “new Damon.” Yes, he’s in love with Elena. That’s not new. Yes, he seemed to feel something for Rose, although Ian Somerhalder disputes that here. Mostly, I love that he’s conflicted about his true nature. For Elena he’s trying to be...
The Vampire Diaries “Daddy Issues”
Okay, I broke up with V for the torture porn, but when it happens on The Vampire Diaries, I get pissed off. Especially because I’m not terribly keen on Caroline continuing to be the kick me toy. I so wanted her to just completely bitch out when Tyler freed her,...
5 Reasons To Worship Community’s Advanced Dungeons & Dragons
I’m a total geek, yet I don’t know anything about Dungeons & Dragons other than I’ve heard of it; and (way) back in the day I saw this TV movie that featured a game that was pretty much a D&D ripoff called Mazes and Monsters. It starred Tom Hanks and...
Community’s Moment of Goodness: Annie Makes Sweet Love to Abed
I was never really into Dungeons & Dragons. I knew quite a few guys (some nerds, some outcasts, some popular kids) who worshipped the game. I can’t fault them for wanting to live in a fantasy world; high school can be tough. But if you’re out of your teens and...
Archer’s Moment of Goodness: Archer Has To Touch His Mother’s Vibrator
I love this show. I remember when Archer premiered on FX in 2009. I knew I had to give it a chance because it’s a spy show and I can’t get enough of those. I had heard it was funny but I had no idea just how much it would...
Character Development: Cam Does Something About Her Sexual Frustration, Bones
I was wondering what had become of Paul. It feels like we were introduced to him quite some time ago and we learn tonight that things haven’t progressed very much. Not only is he extremely busy, but Paul’s enough of a workaholic (like Cam) that he keeps bailing on their...
The Vampire Diaries “The Descent”
As my compadre, Tina Charles, has already expertly covered, The Vampire Diaries returned from its ridiculously long hiatus and promptly bade farewell to Rose. On top of that, we found out that Uncle Daddy is still around and Stefan reneged on his promise to kill him (booo) and poor Caroline...
BITE-Worthy Moment: Rose’s Demise, The Vampire Diaries “The Descent”
NOTE: Bite-Worthy Moment is a new feature that will spotlight stand-out scenes exclusively on vampire shows. I am really happy the CW took another chance on Lauren Cohan. Before The Vampire Diaries, she was Bela Talbot on Supernatural. Unfortunately, her character was short-lived. The writers just didn’t know how to...
We Need to Know: Is Booth Finally Ready to Admit His True Feelings to Bones (Again)?
Tonight’s “The Bullet in the Brain†was a pretty stellar episode. We got some great guest stars in the form of Ryan O’Neal’s Max Keenan (I love him as Brennan’s father) and Arnold Vosloo as Booth’s old pal Jake Broadsky (you might remember him as Imhotep from The Mummy). David...
Character Development: The Gravedigger Gets to Sweets
Heather Taffet, also known as the Gravedigger, was one sick and twisted monster. Not only is she a serial killer but she managed to make John Francis Daley‘s Lance Sweets doubt himself and his ability as a shrink as she was being transported to the courthouse. And even in death,...

Let’s Talk About Will Trent
[Spoilers for “The Blank Expanse of Nothing”] It’s been a minute since I’ve had a good, old-fashioned rant about a TV series, so I’m overdue. If you’ve followed me on IG the last few years (hi!), you know that I yell often and loud about my love for Will Trent....
Tim Rozon Looks Back on SurrealEstate
[Warning: All the spoilers ahead.] To close out our SurrealEstate coverage (for now), I chatted with Tim Rozon about Season 3 and getting the band back together. For the third season, production moved from Newfoundland to Ottawa, and Rozon was ready to dive back in. “We were in a...
George R. Olson Unpacks SurrealEstate Season 3
[Warning: ALL the spoilers ahead.] In case you missed the news last week, SurrealEstate has concluded with its third season, which aired last summer. On Friday, I spoke with series creator George R. Olson and series star Tim Rozon about saying goodbye to the show. You can read that piece...
George R. Olson and Tim Rozon Share Their Gratitude for SurrealEstate’s Run
Since SurrealEstate wrapped its third season six months ago, I’ve checked about once a week to see whether there was any news on cancelled or renewed. As long as there was no decision, there was still hope for a fourth season. This week, series creator George R. Olson let the...
Hulu’s Paradise S1 Weaves Past and Present to Unravel a Murder
One of the nice things about the symbiosis of the entertainment conglomerates is that sometimes streaming shows make their way over to linear outlets. Case in point: ABC has given Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building a primetime slot (after of course tweaking the language for FCC regs) during its...
Scott McCord Talks About Victor’s Expanding World in From Season 3
Closing out our From Season 3 coverage (which you can find here), in the second part of my conversation with Scott McCord, we talk about Victor’s new friendship with Sara, reconnecting with Tabitha, and what might be next for Victor when Season 4 returns in 2026. As we’ve talked about...
Dennis Heaton Talks Murder in a Small Town
Murder in a Small Town wraps its first season Tuesday night on FOX in the US and Wednesday night on Global TV in Canada. For US viewers, it’s been a neat addition to the usual FOX fare to have a slower-paced, small-town murder mystery with a parade of CdnTV peeps...
Harold Perrineau Talks From Season 3
[Warning: Includes spoilers for the Season 3 finale.] How are you doing, FROMily? That finale was A LOT. Thankfully we know we’re going to get more of this story, and you have a year and change to work on your Venn diagram deciphering the OMG WTFery of it all. Last...
Scott McCord Talks From Season 3
From the jump (pun intended), I’ve been a staunch advocate of Victor (and Scott McCord, who plays him), and this season, he’s been put through it. On the heels of sending Tabitha off into the unknown and having her return with his father, he unearths the long-suppressed memory that as...
Corteon Moore Talks From Season 3
From has always been really good about delighting us with mix-and-match character pairings, and this season, we’ve seen Jade and Tabitha, Sara and Victor, Henry and Victor, and Kenny and Acosta team up. As Ellis, Corteon Moore has spent a chunk of time this season paired up with Pegah Ghafoori...
What They Said: Three Revealing Conversations from Survivor’s Remorse “Closure”
WARNING: Spoilers for Survivor’s Remorse “Closure” The latest episode of Starz’s Survivor’s Remorse featured conversations that showed characters really digging deep into their thoughts, emotions and motivations.
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. Betrayal was running rampant as Felicity (Shivani Ghai) arose from the dead to seduce-con Margot, Gretchen (Maria Thayer, Gotham, The Mindy Project) played gold-hearted Alice 2.0 before swindling Ethan, Tessa jumped...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from Supergirl “Worlds Finest”
Oh, Supergirl. That ending was cold. But I can’t hate on you because the latest episode has quickly become one of my favorites.
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...
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...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from Supernatural “Angel Heart”
Okay, that was my favorite of all the Claire episodes. In the beginning I think this arc was a bit shaky, to be honest. But I think it ended strong and that’s thanks to the chemistry between the actors as well as the strength of the writing, courtesy of Robbie...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from New Girl “Landline”
Jess has a ladyboner for a new teacher, with a pretty inappropriate last name. I approve. Coach, ever the player, gets in trouble at school for dating (I’m using the term euphemistically here) two school employees at the same time. And Nick imagines himself a sort of secretary when they...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from The Vampire Diaries “I’ll Remember”
Season 5 Episode 1: “I’ll Remember” Writer: Caroline Dries This is odd. It’s an episode of The Vampire Diaries and there’s only one favorite quote from Damon. Of course, he was only in one scene. There are a few Hallucination!Damon quotes included though. What were some of your favorite quotes...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from Brooklyn Nine-Nine “Undercover”
Before we get to my favorite quotes from the episode – and there are kind of a lot, so prepare yourself, let’s take a quick look at what when down in this season 2 premiere. Jake’s back from his undercover assignment and apparently he didn’t miss that much while he...
Diamond Dan, The Mindy Project “We’re a Couple Now, Haters!”
