Killing off a character is a significant event on a television show, so it’s interesting that NBC’s Revolution went there so early in its first season. The question on my mind going into ‘Soul Train’ (aside from wondering how the popular dance show fits into the dystopian world of Revolution) is how much of an impact the death will have.

Last week Homeland delivered a cliffhanger that most shows would sit on until the season finale. It delivered it in its second episode. So what happens now that Brody’s (Damian Lewis) secret is out of the bag?

The Walking Dead fires up its third season with an action-packed, zombie-killing premiere. With all the whining about how slow and boring most of last season was, did the premiere shut down those naysayers, giving us a glimpse into how the third season will shape up?

For two episodes now, I’ve had a nagging concern in the back of my head that Revenge was suffering from the dreaded sophomore slump. Storylines weren’t really connecting and Emily (Emily VanCamp) seemed unfocused. Things simply weren’t the same as the deliriously awesome first season.
And then there’s the scene in ‘Confidence’ that absolutely kills it. Suddenly I feel like an a*s for ever doubting my favourite night-time soap. Way to make me eat crow, Revenge

Everyone hold onto your hats because I am about to say something crazy: I actually kind of liked an episode of Once Upon A Time. I know, I’m as scared/confused/nauseous as you.

This week Grimm has a complete misfire (the case of the week bores, then instigates inappropriately hilarious laughter – not in a good way). But the mythology sandwiched in between more than justify the episode.

30 Rock’s forward momentum towards the series finale isn’t letting up. Jack’s (Alec Baldwin) epic NBC tanking continues, Liz (Tina Fey) finally takes a serious step towards having her baby with Criss (James Marsden), and Jenna’s (Jane Krakowski) recent single “Balls” burns up the charts makes her $90. So maybe not all of the storylines work, but since the episode gifts us with a Ghost remake involving a CD tower at Staples, this episode counts as a success.
