Ladies: give it up for the men.

Game Of Thrones presents a strangely traditional representation of gender roles as the men woo the women in an episode dedicated principally to three storylines.

If there’s one thing that The Vampire Diaries does well, it’s season finales. And the episode to close out the fourth season is no exception: a dead witch, my beloved Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) brought back to life, a dead doppleganger, and a twist ending we never could have seen coming!

The Undertaking is upon us and destruction is guaranteed on the season finale of The CW’s Arrow. Can Oliver (Stephen Amell) and company defuse Malcolm Merlyn’s (John Barrowman) earthquake device before it levels the Glades? As if you even have to ask.

Leading up to its finale next week, Nashville makes some big moves with a paternity reveal and a murder-suicide to cover up a sex tape. Never a dull moment in the world of country music.

May 15, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

That’s it! I’m declaring a moratorium on shows using plays on The Walking Dead in their titles. Last week was The Vampire Diaries and this week it’s Grimm. Dear writers: stop trying to capitalize on the AMC hit!
