Smash review – 2×16 / 2×17: ‘The Nominations’ / ‘The Tonys’

May 27, 2013 by yellowwait

‘Give em that big finish, and they’ll forget what came before.‘ At least that’s what one hopes will happen. And in the case of the series finale of the once lauded, then panned, Smash, it certainly seems to be the motto: forget YOLO!

So did it work? Did the curtain call make us forget the residual bitterness from season one?

Does the return of teen killer Abigail Hobbs (Kacey Rohl) carry enough substance to offset one of the worst cases of the week yet?

May 23, 2013 by thedude35

Wow. Just wow. Now that is what I’ve been waiting for from Nashville. As the show’s first season comes to a close, I’ve never been more anxious for the next episode…. too bad I have a few months to wait!

Grimm review – 2×22: ‘Goodnight, Sweet Grimm’

May 22, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of NBC

The second half of Grimm‘s second season finale is a complete barn-burner as significant developments occur on nearly all story fronts. Plus: the showrunners mock our pain!

Bates Motel review – 1×10: ‘Midnight’

May 21, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

It’s season finale time for A&E’s breakout drama, Bates Motel, a show we stopped covering early on. With the end of the season on hand, I figured I would check back in to see how the prequel finished up. Short version: calling this show a piece of garbage is a huge understatement.

Revolution review – 1×18: ‘Clue’

May 21, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Revolution kills a week by stranding the majority of the core cast in an abandoned junk yard and killing off the Red Shirts one by one. Meanwhile, Rachel (Elizabeth Mitchell) goes on the offense so that Aaron (Zak Orth) can gain access to the Tower.

Game Of Thrones review – 3×08: ‘Second Sons’

May 20, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of HBO

Ladies: give it up for the men.

Game Of Thrones presents a strangely traditional representation of gender roles as the men woo the women in an episode dedicated principally to three storylines.
