Continuum review – 1×08: ‘Playtime’

July 23, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of Showcase via SpoilerTV UK

In a mostly standalone episode, Continuum plays puppet vs puppeteer as it tackles free-will and the future tech of gaming. Despite the lack of overall mythology, I really enjoyed the episode. Wanna know why?

Breaking Bad review- 5×02: ‘Madrigal’

July 23, 2012 by tvangie

Breaking Bad gives us a much more methodical episode this week, serving more as set-up for the rest of the season. But, thanks to some impressive cinematography and direction, we certainly get our fair share of suspense and intrigue.

Let’s take a close look after the jump.

True Blood review – 5×07: ‘In The Beginning’

July 23, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of HBO

Everyone is reinventing themselves in the appropriately titled “In The Beginning’, which offers a lot of breathing room to dig deep into who, or what, our characters have become as we head into the second half of the season.

Lost Girl review – 2×14: ‘Midnight Lamp’

July 22, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

After just a few days, Lost Girl is back. Whether it’s the lack of time between that great 13th episode and this one, or simply because this episode is all surface and no depth, ‘Midnight Lamp’ is a bust.

Awkward. review – 2×04: “Are You There God? It’s Me, Jenna”

July 20, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

After last week’s triangle take-over, Awkward. dials back the Jake (Brett Davern) vs Matty (Beau Mirchoff) drama to refocus on Jenna (Ashley Rickards). Does the show rediscover its mojo?

Damages review- 5×02: ‘Have You Met the Eel Yet?’

July 19, 2012 by tvangie

Courtesy of awesomedl.com

The Damages battle between Patty Hewes (Glenn Close) and Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne) is in full force in the second episode of the final season. Hewes takes round one as Ellen ends up shooting herself in the foot by playing right into Patty’s hands.

Let’s break it down after the jump.

So You Think You Can Dance review: Season 9 – ‘The Top 20 Perform, Part Two’

July 19, 2012 by tvangie

Courtesy of FOX

The top 20 perform again this week on So You Think You Can Dance, as the results are folded into the performance episode, finally showing us how things are going to work for the rest of the season. So what’s the verdict? Is cramming everything into a single episode a good move?

Let’s take a close look after the jump.

Dallas review – 1×07: ‘Collateral Damage’

July 18, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of TNT

It’s our first mostly JR (Larry Hagman) free episode of the all-new Dallas, which gives us a sneak peek into what the show looks like without the elder generation of Ewings kicking around. So what’s the verdict?

Flashback review – The West Wing 2×10: ‘Noel’

July 18, 2012 by Bitch Stole My Remote

Courtesy of leavemethewhite.com

Nothing says “Merry Christmas!” quite like bundled-up carolers singing outside, tinsel adorning the trees, and… PTSD run amok?

In this episode, one of the series’ best, Sorkin confounds expectations of what a Christmas episode is supposed to be and gives to his viewers an intimate exploration of a man in crisis and his family that comes together to help him.

“What’s next?” Find out after the jump…

Bunheads review – 2×05: ‘Money For Nothing’

July 17, 2012 by yellowwait

Courtesy of ABC Family

This week, the people of Paradise finally start to ask themselves what we have been asking since episode two, what the hell is Michelle (Sutton Foster) doing in Paradise? We also get some fine lessons in economics from Fanny (Kelly Bishop).

Let’s discuss.
