Fringe recap – 4×16: ‘Nothing As It Seems’

March 31, 2012 by tvangie

Fringe takes us down memory lane with another solidly entertaining episode this week. Our Olivia’s (Anna Torv) memories are back, leaving her in blissful romance with Peter (Joshua Jackson) but what about the rest of the Fringe team? And what does the slow erasure of this timeline’s Olivia mean for this world?

Let’s take a closer look after the jump.

Awake recap – 1×05: ‘Oregon’

After last week’s iffy episode, it pleases me to no end to see Awake rebound to heights unseen since its pilot as ‘Oregon’ proves to be quietly emotional. Oh sure, the police procedural component is familiar, but it is also exciting and reinforces some of the questions viewers have had about the series thus far.

Let’s bitch it out…

The Secret Circle recap – 1×18: ‘Sacrifice’

So…where the hell did that come?! All of the sudden The Secret Circle explodes with an episode that’s humourous, well paced, full of thrilling “spell” sequences and reveals. What happened to my baby?!

Happy Endings recap – 2×20: ‘Big White Lies’

March 29, 2012 by yellowwait

Jane (Eliza Coupe) is pregnant, Dave (Zachary Knighton) is dying, Penny (Casey Wilson) has some sort of foot fungus and Alex (Elisha Cuthbert) is a lesbian. Now before you start asking where Fauxlivia is, it’s just another episode of Happy Endings where Penny says a tiny white lie that snowballs into a house of lies.

Let’s discuss! [Read more…]

Music review – Madonna: MDNA

March 29, 2012 by yellowwait

A new Madonna album is such a loaded event that it’s hard to come into it with a fresh perspective. After all this is the woman who has singlehandedly pushed pop music forward for the past 30 years. And while her early contemporaries have vanished into pop history or – more recently – passed away tragically, the Queen keeps working hard trying to stay relevant and hip in a world that is increasingly youth obsessed. (How old are the boys in One Direction?? Seriously!) [Read more…]

Justified recap – 3×11: ‘Measures’

March 28, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

With only a few episodes left, Justified moves back into “chess” mode as our various players are moved around the board in anticipation of the upcoming season finale. Interestingly, however, new alliances have begun to emerge that will make or break some of these characters.

Ringer recap – 1×19: ‘Let’s Kill Bridget!’

Ohmygawd y’all! With only a few episodes left, Ringer begins to wrap up some of its storylines, including ones that are stale and boring (Machado! Bodaway!) and tasty fresh (Tyler’s murder! Catherine!).

Smash recap – 1×08: ‘The Coup’

March 27, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

There’s a benefit to recapping a show a bit late: you get a taste of what to expect from the reactions of others. To say that the reaction to ‘The Coup,’ the eighth episode of NBC’s Smash, is critical is a bit of an understatement (vehement, disbelieving hatred is probably closer to the truth). Thankfully, going in with below zero expectations made parts of a terrible episode tolerable, so that’s got to be good for something, right?

Alcatraz Catch-up and Recap: 1×13 – ‘Tommy Madsen’

March 27, 2012 by tvangie

Alcatraz closed its first season last night. For those who don’t know, I started to recap the show and was about five episodes in when I decided I couldn’t take it anymore, and jumped off the Alcatraz ship.

After catching up on all the remaining episodes, (only missed one due some NASCAR mix up – way to go FOX) I thought it would be fitting to discuss how the season played out and take a look at the season finale.

Lost Girl recap – 1×11: ‘Faetal Justice’

March 26, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

After last week’s “double your succubus, double your fun” episode, I am flying high and ready for the latest adventure of Bo (Anna Silk), Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) and Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried). Alas, the show falters as it begins to establish a routine…
