The Secret Circle recap – 1×12: ‘Witness’

January 20, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Last week Faye (Phoebe Tonkin) went batshit crazy for Cassie’s (Britt Robertson) black magic powers and Jake (newly minted series regular Chris Zylka) returned to crash Adam’s (Thomas Dekker) suck-face time with Cassie. What kind of trouble can our teen witches get into this week? As usual, it seems that the answer is plenty.

The Secret Circle recap – 1×11: ‘Fire and Ice’

January 13, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

It’s a battle of the bitches on our teen witch drama as Faye (Phoebe Tonkin) and voodoo warlock/emo hottie Lee (Grey Damon) strike a deal to steal Cassie’s (Britt Robertson) dark magic. As always, things don’t go quite as planned.

The Secret Circle recap – 1×10: ‘Darkness’

January 6, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

After what seems like months, The Secret Circle returns with a brand new episode that focuses primarily on the girls – Britt Robertson’s Cassie (the good one who might be bad) and Phoebe Tonkin’s Faye (the bad one who’s more of a poser). As the show nears the half-way point of its first season, it’s beginning to settle into a certain formula. Whether this is good or bad depends on how much you like irrelevant danger.

Ringer recap – 1×10: ‘That’s What You Get For Trying To Kill Me’

November 30, 2011 by Joe Lipsett

Well, that was…something. After 10 episodes of varying quality, we come to the (more or less) half-way point of the season. On the eve of the holiday break, you hope your favourite shows will break out the big reveals, epic showdowns and maybe just a touch of exposition. Instead we got a blah episode that tried to be daring and exciting, but mostly felt like a letdown after last week’s far superior effort. It’s almost enough to make you hit yourself in the eye with the medicine cabinet door handle.

Let’s break it down…Warning: Bitching ahead [Read more…]

Ringer recap – 1×09: ‘Shut Up and Eat Your Bologna’

November 16, 2011 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of The CW

Ringer is the television equivalent of a dysfunctional relationship: one week they’re taking you to the opera in your pretty red gown, the next they’re vandalizing your giant narcissistic glamour shot with the word ‘Bitch.’ Last week was a televisual crapfest that made me question everything I knew and loved; this week the show was back in top form. It’s just about enough whiplash to make you forget all the pseudonyms on the show, but I much prefer this Ringer.

Let’s break it down. Readers Beware: Redheads ahoy. [Read more…]
