Flashback review – The West Wing 2×21-2×22: ‘18th and Potomac’ and ‘Two Cathedrals’

August 30, 2012 by Bitch Stole My Remote

Courtesy of NBC via leavemethewhite.com

You know you’ve got a great finale if your protagonist stands in the middle of church and calls God a “feckless thug” and that isn’t even its most memorable moment. The end of the exemplary second season is upon us, and these episodes bring out the best The West Wing has to offer.

Grimm review – 2×03: ‘Bad Moon Rising’

August 28, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of NBC

As feared, Grimm sinks back into a bland “case of the week” format that dilutes a the monumental plot development that will forever alter the show. Oh, Grimm…

Breaking Bad review – 5×07: ‘Say My Name’

August 27, 2012 by tvangie

Courtesy of AMC

The penultimate episode of the first half in Breaking Bad‘s final season showed us just how far Walt (Bryan Cranston) will go in his quest for power and, if we had any doubt, adequately shows us that he’s beyond the point of no return.

Let’s bitch it out.

True Blood review – 5×12: ‘Save Yourself’

August 27, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of HBO

Well, we were promised a bloodbath! And since this is True Blood – the show that has yet to kill off a main character – we probably should have known that our favourites were safe. So what did ‘Save Yourself’ do right…and what didn’t work quite as well?

Continuum news: S2 Pick-Up Confirmed

August 25, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

It’s official, folks! After a few weeks of anxious waiting and hand-wringing, Showcase’s latest hit series Continuum used its Toronto FanExpo session to announce that it has been renewed for a 13 episode second season and will begin airing its first season in the US in early 2013. Details for S2 (such as return date) are still emerging, so we’ll update this space when they’re available.

In the meantime, be sure to check out our coverage of S1 here.

Congratulations to the cast and crew. We’re very excited to see where the adventure goes next!

Lost Girl review – 2×19: ‘Truth And Consequences’

August 24, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of Syfy / Showcase

If our emotional response to television shows is directly proportional to our investment in it, then Lost Girl has long had me wrapped around its little finger. And while this may help to explain why I love it so much, it also means that I’m much more let down when it makes a misstep. And then there are the events of ‘Truth And Consequences’: an episode that makes such an atrociously terrible narrative decision that I literally cussed out my television.

Let’s really bitch it out… [Read more…]

Awkward. review – 2×09: ‘Homewrecker Hamilton’

August 24, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of MTV

The truth about all things love triangle is out for public consumption and the sh*t has more than definitely hit the fan. Unfortunately for Jenna Hamilton (Ashley Rickards) things have gone from bad to worse.

Damages review – 5×07: ‘The Storm’s Moving in’

August 23, 2012 by tvangie

Courtesy of DirecTV

With only a few episodes of Damages left ever, we got everything but the kitchen sink thrown into this week’s offering. Even with every conceivable plot element crammed in all at once, the episode still took its time when it came to Patty (Glenn Close) vs. Ellen (Rose Byrne) in a highly-anticipated confrontation.

Let’s bitch it out…

So You Think You Can Dance review – Season 9: ‘The Top 10 Perform’

August 23, 2012 by tvangie

Well Dance fans, we’re approaching the homestretch as the Top 10 perform this week with the much-anticipated All-Stars. How did this year’s competitors stand up to the past stars of So You Think You Can Dance?

Let’s take a closer look after the jump.

Flashback review – The West Wing 2×19-2×20: ‘Bad Moon Rising’ and ‘The Fall’s Gonna Kill You’

August 22, 2012 by Bitch Stole My Remote

Courtesy of leavemethewhite.com

There’s a reason why the ninth circle of hell is reserved for those who betray. Bartlet (Martin Sheen), who’s been the champion of moral leadership, has been outed to the staffers who’ve trusted him most all these years, and I put it lightly when I say that they aren’t taking it well. But on the upside, it makes for fantastic television for us viewers.
