I laugh a lot during this episode, but find it misses the mark when it comes to Tanya. She’s struggling and I feel horrible for her. This is not the Tanya I’ve come to know and love.

Death seems to be on everyone’s minds. Their own mortality, the mortality of the others around them—talk about a somber episode!

Review: The Vampire Diaries - "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (It's Like Yankee Candle Up in Here!) 5

The ghost story arc is becoming more interesting. There’s a lot being played with there—the ability for a ghost to become a permanent fixture in the real world—and I’d love to know if anymore dead vampires will be popping up.

Another solid showing by the writers of Hung. They keep the show fresh, hip and in the know. I always look forward to what’s next in Ray’s life, and yes, Tanya too.

Review: The Vampire Diaries "The Reckoning" (Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Vampire Hunter? Klaus, That's Who.) 11

The cliffhanger endings are major! I don’t even know what to say about what’s to come, just know that it will probably be something that we’ve never seen before. If I wasn’t hooked on The Vampire Diaries before, you can best believe it’s become my new obsession.

Book Review: "Little Bee" by Chris Cleave 12

I liked the book, but I didn’t love it and I definitely won’t be reading it again. I think it’s missing a few key things, like a resolution to the plot and characters I could sink my teeth into. It’s not so much that they are two dimensional, but the believability of the situations they end up in is just unrealistic.

Review: Hung "Take the Cake or Are You Packing" (Handcuffs, House Arrest, and a Girlfight) 17

As “Take the Cake or Are You Packing?” opens, a hypnotizing rhythm bounces from wall to wall of the night club Ray walks into. You kind of get the feeling something unusual is going to happen and it does.

Book Review: "The Last Werewolf" by Glen Duncan 19

I was sad to reach the end of this tale. Not only because of the ending (which is a bit predictable), but the need to know what happens next just won’t go away. I’ve read other books with werewolves in them, but none like this.

Review: New Girl - "Wedding" (Chicken Dance Anyone?) 21

Nick grows up a bit in “Wedding” and we have to wait until next week to find out how his new stance in life will pan out. I think he can succeed at being single—truly single.
