This week Smash continues to figure out what kind of show it wants to be but ultimately, it feels like a game of high and low: we get some really good stuff, but that’s balanced out with some really horrible junk.

Mother and daughter are feeling the love this week, as Gigi (Annie Potts) and Amanda (Leslie Bibb) see romantic prospects blossom right in front of their eyes. Sharron (Jennifer Aspen), meanwhile, devotes all her time at the Church leaving Zach (Brad Beyer) no choice but to con his wife back home. And then there is Heather (Marisol Nichols)…

After last week’s disappointing episode, I was curious to see whether the show would rebound in anticipation of the forthcoming season finale. With only one episode remaining, what kind of set-up is Lost Girl planning? Apparently very little…

This week on Mad Men, we got a substantial amount of Betty (January Jones) who, in my opinion, took a back seat in the tail end of last season. True to Mad Men form, we learned quite a bit about other characters even if they were in the periphery.

After many long months, Game of Thrones returns to further explore the lives of those seeking power in Westeros, the fictional world of writer George RR Martin. As the second season begins, it’s clear that the some of the challenges that the show suffered in the early episodes of its inaugural season have been overcome as season two gets off to a much stronger start.

(Apologies for the late recap, fellow Rockers. I was trying to help Tracy make his assets liquid again. Unfreezing a pool filled with money is not quick or easy work…)
This week’s overstuffed episode reminded me of the videos that the villains of Cold War flicks show to their victims in order to brainwash them: a lot of crazy images flash across the screen, and some of those images could actually be interesting or funny if the audience was given a second to process them. Instead, the videos only result in memory loss, loss of motor functions, and occasional vomiting.

Fringe takes us down memory lane with another solidly entertaining episode this week. Our Olivia’s (Anna Torv) memories are back, leaving her in blissful romance with Peter (Joshua Jackson) but what about the rest of the Fringe team? And what does the slow erasure of this timeline’s Olivia mean for this world?

After last week’s iffy episode, it pleases me to no end to see Awake rebound to heights unseen since its pilot as ‘Oregon’ proves to be quietly emotional. Oh sure, the police procedural component is familiar, but it is also exciting and reinforces some of the questions viewers have had about the series thus far.
