For what seems like interminable weeks I’ve been waiting for Ringer to embrace its inner soap opera and turn the heat up from simmer to hot. This week everyone is desperate to cover the tracks of the Martin/Charles Ponzi scheme revealed in last week’s episode, and despite the sheer boredom of white collar crime, Ringer finally manages to deliver an engaging episode.

Last night’s innaugural episode of GCB (aka Good Christian B*tches) sets up our characters, the storyline and the bitchy tone in break neck speed. With Annie Potts, Kristin Chenowith and Leslie Bibb, it has a lot going for it. Did it meet this crazy, camp-loving bitch’s standards?

Lost Girl gets epic in its eighth episode. Despite a mildly anticlimatic finish and a slightly mundane case-of-the-week, this episode not only reintroduces Bo’s (Anna Silk) quest for familial answers in a big way; it also gives us a huge info dump about the rules governing the Fae world. Added bonus: sex for everyone!

Last week TVangie addressed the ongoing struggle between Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Shane (Jon Bernthal) as they wrestled with the decision to abandon Randall (Michael Zegen). The zombie waterfall put an end to those plans, prompting a return to Herschel’s (Scott Wilson) farm. This week we explore the fallout, which includes a tragic end to one of our characters.

After a few weeks off for the Academy Awards, Once Upon A Time returns with a bit of a dud – serving up a filler episode full of familiar themes and lacking substantial developments in the larger mythology of the show. Oh, and Emma (Jennifer Morrison) makes another lousy decision as Sheriff…naturally.

The last few weeks, as Justified crossed the halfway mark of the season, I’ve continually been reminded of (and referenced in these recaps) a game of chess: there are at least four groups of players and slowly, but surely, they’ve been moving into position. And while ‘The Man Behind the Curtain’ didn’t result in knocking anyone out of the game, there were some preliminary moves more than worthy of being discussed.

Can John Riggi just write every episode from now on? In one episode alone, we get the fantastic return of Frank’s mother, a Law and Order parody we never knew we needed, and KENNETH’S PROMOTION!

Sex dreams can be fun, but when you dream about someone you know, you usually wake up feeling dirty and maybe a little curious. Last night’s episode of Happy Endings had a few of our friends experiencing some of those awkward situations involving Dave (Zachary Knighton). And it was all set to the awesomeness that is ‘Baker Street’ by Gerry Rafferty. How did the gang cope with these nightmares on Baker Street? Let’s dish. [Read more…]
