I admit, I had to watch this week’s episode of Once more than a few times before I could get around to reviewing it.  I kept getting distracted by Lana Parrilla’s FACE.  It’s really one of the only reasons that keeps me coming back week after week – understandable, as in The Evil Queen, Lana not only out-acted, out-emoted and downright out-stripped the rest of the cast, but, as always, made them raise their game in every scene she shared...

The CW network recently picked up the spin-off series, The Originals, for its first season and after this episode that serves as a backdoor pilot for the new series; it’s not hard to see why.  Like The Vampire Diaries, it’s a TV show about vampires but the energy, setting, and cast sets the show apart from other vampire shows. This episode reveals a surprisingly minimal amount of the usual Mystic Falls crew, as the focus is mostly on The...

Tonight’s episode was a virtual smorgasbord of storyline goodies for a fan to feast on.  Whether you’re a Lemon, Lavon, Annabeth, George, Tansy, Zoe, or Brick fan they had something for everyone.  It might have been a tad too much if you ask me.  One of those my eyes are bigger than my stomach type things.  It was a bit hard to keep it all together but relax I got it all.  Even Meatball.  Love Meatball.  Now where to start that...

The ladies are moving full speed ahead with Michael’s idea to build a garden memorial for Claudia Joy, but they are a few thousand dollars short of their fundraising goal. With only three days to...

So, the season finale. It seems like the premiere aired just yesterday, doesn’t it? These little shows grow up so fast! Especially in terms of Vikings, it seems, because we’ve managed to figure that nearly two years have passed since the events in the first episode—which still isn’t nearly enough explanation for Athelstan’s beard. The guy just isn’t cut out for Viking fashion, I guess. In any case, the episode—since Ragnar is out being an...

Season 3 of Game of Thrones has found its rhythm this season! I’d say season 3 trumps season 2! There was a lot of plotting in this Sunday’s episode, and the tension was so perfect you couldn’t keep your eyes away from your screen. The episode starts with an impressive fight in the Brotherhood between Lord Beric Dondarrion and the Hound during which Beric’s sword catches fire. The fight turns bad for Beric as the Hound kills...
