Doctor Who 6.08 'Let's Kill Hitler'

Aug 28, 2011, 20:45 GMT

"You've got a time machine, I've got a gun. What the hell...let's kill Hitler." In typical Doctor Who fashion, the episode began with a grand idea, and things went wrong from there.

True Blood 4.01 'She's Not There'

Jun 27, 2011, 15:57 GMT

With the return of HBO’s bloody, sexy, thrill ride, it finally feels like summer. I love True Blood, even when Bon Temps gets overcrowded with characters and the storytelling gets too twisted. It’s a fangtastic escape at this time of year when the weather gets steamy and people go a little crazy.

The Good Wife 2.22 'Getting Off'

May 11, 2011, 11:09 GMT

"Ok. This will mostly be about...sex." From the start, last night's episode grabbed our attention and never let go. The undercurrents of tension that have been running throughout Season 2 finally came to the surface, and all we viewers could do was try to pick our jaws up off the floor and watch it unfold. ...

Chuck 4.23 'Chuck vs. the Last Details'

May 10, 2011, 17:59 GMT

Happily ever after isn't going to come easy for Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker. On the eve of their wedding day, misguided baddie Vivian Volkoff (guest star Lauren Cohan) strikes out at Chuck in the worst way possible--by hurting Sarah. Will he be able to save her and say, "I do," in next week's finale? Or is that episode's title, "Chuck vs. the Cliffhanger," setting viewers up for an even more shocking twist? ... Read more


The Good Wife 2.19 'Wrongful Termination'

Apr 6, 2011, 14:55 GMT

Last night's episode of The Good Wife showed just how far Alicia Florrick has come since the series began. Whether she's navigating the twists of a big case, the ugliness of politics, or romantic drama, she exhibits a greater sense of confidence and gumption. "What happened to that cute, little housewife that I used to know?" Stern asks her. ... Read more


The Good Wife 2.18 'Killer Song'

Mar 30, 2011, 17:22 GMT

Poor Alicia...Despite what she may think, the storm is far from over. In the wake of our bombshell revelation about Kalinda, it's only a matter of time before Alicia's world is rocked once again by her husband's misdeeds--and this time much worse because it happened with her friend. ... Read more


Chuck 4.18 'Chuck vs. the A-Team'

Mar 15, 2011, 19:26 GMT

Idle hands were comedy's plaything in this week's episode, as Casey's mysterious project left Chuck and Sarah with no missions and nothing to do but play board games, and Ellie going crazy from being cooped up at home with a newborn baby. Chuck humor is always best when it's heartfelt, and "Chuck vs. the A-Team" stayed true to that. ... Read more


The Good Wife 2.15 'Silver Bullet'

Feb 24, 2011, 19:09 GMT

"Silver Bullet" was like the calm before the storm, as pressure mounts on the Lockhart/Gardner in-fighting, Peter's campaign, and the Florrick home life. ... Read more


Chuck 4.16 'Chuck vs. the Masquerade'

Feb 22, 2011, 12:16 GMT

This week, Chuck kicked off a big journey for the characters, one with plenty of good stuff to occupy the latter half of Season 4. Relationship dynamics are shifting, so it will be exciting to see what changes are coming. ... Read more


The Good Wife 2.13 'Real Deal'

Feb 9, 2011, 22:22 GMT

Things are definitely looking up. Now we can laugh even in the midsts of all the problems these characters are facing, and that's exactly what Alicia does at the end of the episode: she breaks down laughing as she and Peter lie in bed together talking about their day. ... Read more


Chuck 4.14 'Chuck vs. the Seduction Impossible'

Feb 9, 2011, 11:10 GMT

After tying up a big arc last week, this episode of Chuck was self-contained fun. Chuck and Sarah bickered over wedding plans, Casey lived in a wall, and John Laroquette returned as suave spy Roan Montgomery. ... Read more


The Good Wife 2.12 'Silly Season'

Feb 2, 2011, 22:15 GMT

Two losses in a row for Alicia, and like last week in “Two Courts,” a just conviction. Defending guilty clients is part of the business of being a defense attorney, but we’re not used to seeing our heroine lose so much. ... Read more


Chuck 4.13 'Chuck vs. the Push Mix'

Feb 2, 2011, 19:01 GMT

Loving an “on the bubble” show like Chuck can be stressful, the network ax of cancellation ever poised to take it away. Yet, loving a show like that can also be the most rewarding. ... Read more


Downton Abbey Series 1

Jan 31, 2011, 4:08 GMT

If life at Downton could be so upset by the sinking of the Titanic and the drama surrounding an entailment, how will it be affected when the world goes to war? This is what we are left to wonder at the end of Downton Abbey's first season. ... Read more


Bones 6.11 'The Bullet in the Brain'

Jan 29, 2011, 12:40 GMT

Right on the heels of "The Doctor in the Photo," an episode that held a mirror up to Brennan and made her reconsider past choices, "The Bullet in the Brain" set off the sniper arc that will dominate the latter half of Season 6, drawing a clear parallel between this killer and Booth. ... Read more


Gbenga Akinnagbe talks The Good Wife, teases Nurse Jackie

Jan 28, 2011, 17:54 GMT

When Gbenga Akinnagbe says he’s blessed, that’s almost putting it mildly. His acting career began less than a decade ago, arising out of an interest to study the craft, which led to auditions, which led to him landing his first major role on David Simon's masterpiece, The Wire, as stone-cold drug soldier Chris Partlow. ...

Chuck 4.12 'Chuck vs. the Gobbler'

Jan 25, 2011, 14:20 GMT

“Distance.” That’s the advice Mama B gives Sarah on how to survive an undercover op and make the tough choices that are required. And that’s exactly what we get in “Chuck vs. the Gobbler”—a Sarah distant from the one we know and love. ... Read more


The Good Wife 2.11 'Two Courts'

Jan 21, 2011, 12:37 GMT

Alicia lost a case, and that's ok. Because while we root for our protagonist to succeed and be happy, we also hope that our legal system is just. Some episodes of The Good Wife have shown us that's not always true, that people get away with bad things, whether they're guilty defendants who go free, sleazy lawyers who manipulate loopholes, or judges who abuse their power. ... Read more


Chuck 4.11 'Chuck vs. the Balcony'

Jan 19, 2011, 11:09 GMT

Watching Chuck try to plan the perfect proposal for Sarah in “Chuck vs. the Balcony,” I don’t know how he (or we, the viewers) could have expected it to be so easy. It took three seasons for them to get together in the first place! Plus, this is television! They fooled us, though, and delivered a nail-biting cliffhanger. ... Read more


PBS' Downton Abbey a feast for the eyes, heart, and mind

Jan 9, 2011, 0:47 GMT

At first glance, Downton Abbey is your typical period drama, portraying the quiet country life of an English aristocrat, his family, and servants, in the early 20th century. Appearances are most definitely deceiving in this case. Creator Julian Fellowes (Gosford Park) weaves a complex tale of gossip and betrayal, love and honor. ... Read more
