Another week, another ho hum episode of Smash. While season two has been much more enjoyable then season one, there are still moments and plot points that make me shake my head. At least in this episode we get another killer song from Hit List to add to our playlists.

The Dawning has begun…or rather the trials and tribulations that comprise the invitation to enter The Dawning. Holy mackerel – if this is just the prelude, what kinds of feats and adventures should we expect from the real deal?! Maybe Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten) isn’t kidding Bo (Anna Silk) when she suggests that this is the hardest thing she’ll ever do.

We finally get our face-to-face showdown this week on The Walking Dead when Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and The Governor (David Morrissey) meet in a shack in the woods for a good ol’ fashioned negotiation. After last week’s amazing standalone episode, how does a return to the Team Woodbury/Team Grimes conflict fare?

The promise of a darker series has come to fruition as Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) acts on her vow to kill Cora (Barbara Hershey). In an episode that manages to feel both agonizingly slow (let’s hang out in the pawn shop for 40 minutes!) and radically fast (those final ten minutes), ‘The Miller’s Daughter’ resets many character relationships in a bold move that will cause reverberations for the remainder of the season.

After fifteen weeks off the air, Grimm returns with an episode that lays all of its cards on the table as Nick (David Giuntoli) and Renard (Sasha Roiz) find out the truth about one another and it finally come to blows. However, the not-so-epic battle is little more than a prelude as it’s practically over after it begins. Regardless of whether or not the pay-off has been worth the build-up, it’s clear that the series is moving into a new direction now that Nick knows Renard’s secret.
