Dream chaser extraordinaire! Judy tends to be a tad sarcastic and kind of goofy! She is an avid admirer of all things supernatural, paranormal, celestial and mystical. She loves to read, write, and watches way too much TV. She enjoys many genres of film and music (and let's be honest, most music from the 80s). She also has a wicked sweet tooth. Cupcakes beware.

Sleepy Hollow – “Deliverance” Recap. The Horrid King.

Sleepy Hollow – “Deliverance” Recap. The Horrid King. 1

“Deliverance” wastes no time jumping into the nightmare awaiting Katrina (Katia Winter) after the spider Henry (John Noble) created crawls into her mouth. This is no ordinary spider – it’s a seed, demon seed to be exact and Katrina is the “vessel” in which it will grow.

Grimm – “Thanks for the Memories” Review. A Tentacle for Your Thoughts.

<i>Grimm</i> – “Thanks for the Memories” Review. A Tentacle for Your Thoughts. 3

It’s been a little over five months since we last laid eyes on Portland á la Grimm. As season premieres go, “Thanks for the Memories” doesn’t disappoint; in fact, it has me excited for what this new season of Grimm has in store. I enjoy how the beginning of “Thanks for the Memories” addresses what transpired in the season three finale and continues along the path any good police procedural would — the investigation into the captain’s shooter and his subsequent beheading.

Haven — “Nowhere Man” Recap. Dead Men Do Tell Tales.

<i>Haven</i> — “Nowhere Man” Recap. Dead Men Do Tell Tales. 4

“Nowhere Man” takes us on a strange yet interesting journey full of unexpected twists and turns. We learn more about the Audrey/Mara (Emily Rose) split from “The Old Switcheroo, Part 1” and how it affects Audrey’s ability to help the “troubled.” There is also some “pancake” time with Nathan (Lucas Bryant) and Audrey, but it takes a back seat to the intricacy of the mysterious new trouble sweeping through town.

Castle – “Child’s Play” Recap. Jerkface.

<i>Castle</i> – “Child’s Play” Recap. Jerkface. 5

As Castle episodes go, “Child’s Play” may not move the key story lines forward much, but it sure is a fun one to watch! Castle (Nathan Fillion) going undercover in an elementary school? It’s like putting a duck in water. In “Child’s Play,” an ice cream vendor is murdered and during the preliminary investigation, Ryan (Seamus Dever) discovers a field trip permission slip belonging to a second grader at Kennedy Elementary who may have witnessed the crime.

Sleepy Hollow – “The Weeping Lady” Review. Trust Issues and Flirting.

<i>Sleepy Hollow</i> – “The Weeping Lady” Review. Trust Issues and Flirting. 7

Sleepy Hollow mixes a little business with pleasure in “The Weeping Lady.” While the threat of Moloch (Derek Mears) is ever present, revenge, secrets, and a bit of flirting make their way to the forefront. Oh, and there is a deranged, obsessed spirit trying to kill the women in Ichabod’s (Tom Mison) life because if she can’t have him, no one can.

Throw logic out the window and sit down for an intensely twisted, suspenseful, and mind bending 88 minutes. Big Driver is based on the novella of the same name by Stephen King. What transpires during Big Driver will have you guessing and suspecting everyone before the truth is revealed at the very end.

Haven — “The Old Switcheroo, Part 2” Recap. Brother Troubles and Seeing Double.

<i>Haven</i> — “The Old Switcheroo, Part 2” Recap. Brother Troubles and Seeing Double. 10

I am digging this body switching trouble. As we saw in last week’s “The Old Switcheroo, Part 1,” several people were switched. Duke (Eric Balfour) is now in Nathan’s (Lucas Bryant) body. These two switching roles makes this some very entertaining TV. Confusion runs rampant in “The Old Switcheroo, Part 2.”

<i>Castle</i> – “Clear & Present Danger” Recap. Cuttlefish and the Invisible Man? 12

Deals with the devil, unseen entities, and delayed bedroom Olympics make this week’s Castle, “Clear & Present Danger,” a fun and interesting episode. While Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) begin to get their relationship back to normal, a mysterious murder with even more bizarre roots puts the brakes on their sexy time and raises concerns about the supernatural.

<i>Sleepy Hollow</i> – “Go Where I Send Thee” Retrospective. My Soul to Take. 13

“Go Where I Send Thee” spins a darker yarn about the legend of the “Pied Piper” (Ryan Gray). A local family, the Lancasters, are cursed and when young Sara Lancaster-Weiss (Abigail Cornell) goes missing, her mother Beth (Francie Swift) is tormented…but it isn’t for the reasons you think.

Step right up, folks; step right up to the most amazing show in town! American Horror Story: Freak Show (AHS: Freak Show) steps into a darker realm with its chilling season premiere complete with what some might call “monsters.” And a carnival side show wouldn’t be complete without clowns…but Twisty the Clown (John Carroll Lynch) is unlike any clown you ever want to encounter.

Castle – “Montreal” Recap. Toys and Crazy Theories.

Castle – “Montreal” Recap. Toys and Crazy Theories. 16

Before we dive into the ‘Where was Richard Castle’ mystery, let’s get into the murder of the week. What’s a good Castle episode without a great murder mystery to solve and in “Montreal,” we get a good one. Not that murder is good but this is a juicy case and not just because they find the body of Wally Williger in the water. Wally was the CEO of a toy company and the investigation leads Beckett and Castle to his office to make inquiries. Toys and Castle equal SQUIRREL! Yeah, while Beckett is doing her job asking questions, Castle is playing with all the toys.

Sleepy Hollow – “Root of All Evil” Review. Two Sides of the Coin.

<i>Sleepy Hollow</i> – “Root of All Evil” Review. Two Sides of the Coin. 17

We know of Judas’ betrayal of Jesus for the small sum of 30 pieces of silver from the Bible. And, during the American Revolution, dark forces used 30 “Tyrian shekels” to turn the tides, even making a traitor out of one of the most loyal of subjects, Benedict Arnold (Scott Poythress). And here we thought old Benedict was nothing but a turn coat, but the way Sleepy Hollow’s writers spin the tale, Benedict didn’t betray his country of his own volition.

The Strain Season Finale – “The Master” Review. Ancient Feud.

The Strain Season Finale – “The Master” Review. Ancient Feud. 18

My hopes were high for an intense, drama laden season finale but “The Master” doesn’t deliver. There are moments in the season finale that capture my interests, but the majority of the episode lacks any grip. I’ll compare it to a 7-layer dip. When you sink your tortilla chip into the very top and plunge down, hoping to get every single delicious layer only to have your chip break halfway through … well, this is how I felt when I finished watching “The Master.”

Haven — “Much Ado About Mara” Recap. Isn’t Gibberish Fun?

<i>Haven</i> — “Much Ado About Mara” Recap. Isn’t Gibberish Fun? 19

How much fun is “Much Ado About Mara?” The “gibberish trouble” also known as the “Scoville trouble” has Duke (Eric Balfour) talking all kinds of crazy nonsense, and while he thinks he’s making sense, his words don’t convey what he’s feeling or thinking. Aside from the insanely entertaining gibber-jabber, there is a much darker side to this episode. Mara (Emily Rose) adds another notch to her dastardly belt but I have to admit, I kind of like this ballsy persona. I love Audrey (Emily Rose), I do, but something about Mara makes me want to get to know her more. What’s her story? I’m sure I’ll absolutely loathe her by the end; I actually wanted to smack her after what she says to Dwight (Adam Copeland), but her honesty is refreshing in a town so full of secrets.

Interviews: The Men of <i>The Vampire Diaries</i> – Matt Davis, Paul Wesley, and Ian Somerhalder. Is it Hot in Here? 23

Your Entertainment Corner ventured down to San Diego and frequented the Bayfront Hilton like a second home. During our four-day stay in San Diego, we were able to sit down in The CW’s The Vampire Diaries’ (TVD) press room and speak to several of the sexy men of the series, including Matt Davis, who returns as beloved history teacher Alaric Saltzman; Paul Wesley, who plays vampire Stefan Salvatore; and Ian Somerhalder, who plays another vampire named Damon Salvatore and just so happens to be Stefan’s brother. With The Vampire Diaries’s six season premiere airing Thursday, October 2, 2014, it seems only right to post these interviews now.

Sleepy Hollow – “The Kindred” Review. Franklinstein vs. the Horsemen?

<i>Sleepy Hollow</i> – “The Kindred” Review. Franklinstein vs. the Horsemen? 24

Slow and steady wins the race but I’m not sure this philosophy applies to television shows. I know Sleepy Hollow’s writers are probably prepping us for some major craziness with Moloch’s (Luke Smith) plans to “scorch” the earth, but the slow pace of “The Kindred” leaves me wanting. While there are a great many intriguing happenings in this second episode of the season, especially Henry’s (John Noble) shenanigans, I wasn’t impressed with this episode as a whole.

The Strain – “Last Rites” Recap. Unusual Cargo.

<i>The Strain</i> – “Last Rites” Recap. Unusual Cargo. 25

“Last Rites” is a disappointing penultimate episode. I fully expected a mini humans vs. strigoi battle inside the underground caves but got zilch. While we do get to see our elusive strigoi SWAT team again, their appearance, although exciting, is too brief. After such a powerful and intense season, I can’t help feeling jipped with “Last Rites.”
