Well, that’s a wrap on the buzziest, most compulsively addictive show of the season. And if you liked cliffhangers, then you scored the mother load as Revenge broke out every twist and turn it could think of.

The Doctor Who Project: At the behest of TVAngie (and many, many of my students), I’ve been catching up on the 2005 revision of Doctor Who. I’ll be posting my thoughts on some of the big episodes as I make my way up through the series. For now I’m up to season four, but before I move on, I thought I’d tackle ‘Blink’, the Doctor’s tenth episode of season three.

After last week’s uber-disappointing outing, I went into Lost Girl with some trepidation. Then I remembered it’s the notorious sixth episode for which a great deal of digital ink has been written on a particular intimate encounter between a certain doctor and a certain succubus. Would a sexy encounter with Bo (Anna Silk) and Lauren (Zoie Palmer) make things better? Read on to find out.

This week’s episode of my favorite “love to hate” show was completely centered on Hannah (Lena Dunham) and her trip back home to visit her parents. It also showed us again what a stuck up, self absorbed mess Hannah is…you know, just in case you forgot.
Let’s recap. [Read more…]

It’s Christmas time on Mad Men as the gingers take centre stage in this week’s offering. We get the return of Lane Pryce (Jared Harris), some significant Joan (Christina Hendricks) screen time, and the return of a familiar face in a very bizarre plotline.
Let’s take a closer look after the jump.

As we move into the final episodes of the second season, Game Of Thrones goes into ‘chatty cathy’ mode as characters discuss their plans, vent their frustrations and generally make demands or threats of one another. So it’s basically a regular episode, only with fewer action scenes.

It’s quite bittersweet to review a show knowing that it’ll be one of the last episodes EVER. Part of me wishes Awake goes completely out of the box and deliver something really memorable in this two-part finale, perhaps inspiring a letter-writing campaign or a NetFlix revival. The other part of me just hopes that I’ll get closure by the end of it all. “Two Birds” does feel rushed at times, but despite that, I do have a feeling I’ll be satisfied by series’ end.

Nothing says season finales like a vow renewals and baby plans! Except in the 30 Rock universe, that really means divorce and finding a nice Chinese girl to be a surrogate plant mother.

With only a single episode remaining in the season, Revenge bids farewell to one of its most beloved characters as it sets up storylines for the finale. Oh, also, it’s cribbing from every “vast conspiracy” show out there. This could get ugly…

Karen Cartwright (Katherine McPhee). That’s who was chosen to portray Marilyn Monroe in ‘Bombshell’ as the NBC show Smash closed out its freshman season last night. Looking back, Smash turned out to be more of a shin-splint marathon rather than a quick easy sprint. It never quite recovered the creative footing it kindasorta demonstrated waaaay back in its pilot, and frequently left us shaking our heads, our fists and the clumps of hair we pulled out during moments of (often Ellis inspired) frustration.
At least we knew that we were in good company, though: even The Hulk was creatively dissatisfied going into the finale.
In honour of ‘Bombshell’, we’re doubling up with two bitches instead of one. So how did the finale do?
