After a tragedy-related week off, Revolution returns with a bomb-themed episode (too soon?) that advances the show’s mythology in leaps and bounds. So what does the detour into the Georgia Federation mean for Miles (Billy Burke) and co.?

It’s season finale time on Lost Girl and the stakes are high. After a rocky set-up in 3×12 complete with wonky dialogue and poor pacing, can the last episode of this significantly improved third season go out with a bang?

After several weeks off, Once Upon A Time returns with an episode that desperately wants to channel Twin Peaks. Unfortunately the ABC show doesn’t seem to grasp who its audience is.

Well, it’s finally here, opening night for Bombshell. After all the work, all the cast changes, and of course all the drama, the big night is here and it all comes down to this.

Will Eileen (Angelica Huston) have a smash on her hands or will it be a bomb? And most importantly, will someone explain to me why Emory Cohen is there? Let’s bitch.

After a week as insane as this one has been, there is no greater pleasure than spending a full hour with the parks department. Especially when the episodes are as fun and genuinely sweet as these two are.
