Way to make me eat my words, there, Justified. Just a few days after complaining about a slightly listless episode in which the focus appeared to be entirely on setting up action, things exploded (in some cases literally) in ‘Watching The Detectives.’

For what seems like interminable weeks I’ve been waiting for Ringer to embrace its inner soap opera and turn the heat up from simmer to hot.

Lost Girl gets epic in its eighth episode.

Added bonus: sex for everyone!

Last week TVangie addressed the ongoing struggle between Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Shane (Jon Bernthal) as they wrestled with the decision to abandon Randall (Michael Zegen). The zombie waterfall put an end to those plans, prompting a return to Herschel’s (Scott Wilson) farm. This week we explore the fallout, which includes a tragic end to one of our characters.

And while ‘The Man Behind the Curtain’ didn’t result in knocking anyone out of the game, there were some preliminary moves more than worthy of being discussed.
