A bevy of talented actresses grace the screen this week, from regulars Emily Mortimer and Alison Pill, to guest stars Katherine Hahn and Hope Davis. It’s just too bad their characters are all written like jealous harpies driven to excess by their possession of lady parts. But don’t worry, because Will McAvoy comes to the rescue to “civilize” these women and their brutish ways.

Let’s get personal, Continuum friends. Carlos (Victor Webster) is keeping almost as many secrets as Kiera (Rachel Nichols) in episode seven of the show. And he might be into kinky sex? Oh my!

The time we’ve all feared arrives in episode three of Awkward.‘s second season: we hit saturation point on the whole Jenna (Ashley Rickards), Jake (Brett Davern) and Matty (Beau Mirchoff) love triangle. The result is not only not pretty, it’s not very funny.

Damages returned last night for its fifth and final season. Looks like we’re finally going to get a long awaited courtroom showdown between Patty (Glenn Close) and Ellen (Rose Byrne). The reveal that Ellen might be dead would normally have been a Damages’ jaw-dropping shocker come episode’s end, but instead elicits indifferent shrugs because we’ve seen it months ago in the Season 5 teaser trailers. Is this poor marketing tactic an indication of a disappointing season to come?

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! This week’s Dallas had just a touch of everything. And thankfully the show didn’t forget to include some ridiculous eyebrow action after sending JR (Larry Hagman) away last week. Whew!

What a lovely little episode. Policy debate and political squabbling can often provide for some enticing drama on this series, but there’s just something about the unabashed optimism for the future that the staff displays in this episode that makes it one of the most pleasurable episodes to watch time and time again.

The big day is here! No – not the season finale, but the Joffrey auditions!! Unlike other shows, Bunheads decided not to use the auditions as a big finale build up. Instead we get mini-dramas, but more character development (Side Note: Take note, Glee). Meanwhile Michelle (Sutton Foster) starts settling into Paradise, even getting Truly (Stacey Oristano) to make her some curtains, yet we are still left wondering just what she is doing there exactly.

After delivering one of its worst episodes of the season, Lost Girl rebounds beautifully to deliver one of its strongest character pieces in recent memory. Also, yet another Buffy connection!
