<i>Shameless</i> - "Rite of Passage" Retrospective. Reality Can Be a Bitch. 1

Generally speaking, “Rite of Passage” is a very entertaining episode. Writer Etan Frankel does a good job with the dialogue, especially between Fiona and Gus, Fiona and Lip, and Frank and Laura. I also enjoy how much Debbie and Carl are connecting, working together on their various schemes.

Suits - “Respect” Retrospective. Team Player. 5

While “Enough is Enough” marked the official return of Suits, things finally return to normal in “Respect.” What makes this episode seem like classic Suits is summed up in one word—banter. The dialogue between Mike (Patrick J. Adams) and Harvey (Gabriel Macht) is as sharp and witty as ever.

Justified – “Noblesse Oblige” Review. Make Your Next Move Carefully.

<i>Justified</i> – “Noblesse Oblige” Review. Make Your Next Move Carefully. 9

By definition, the term ‘noblesse oblige’ means those of high birth, powerful social position, etc., have the moral obligation to act with honor, kindliness, generosity, etc. It’s safe to say many of the folks in Harlan, KY aren’t born of nobility nor do they know what it means. I’m guessing the few who do know or have any inkling of what it means are the ones running things. Avery Markham (Sam Elliott) is one of them.

<i>Castle</i> – “I, Witness” Recap. It Isn’t the Butler. 10

“What do all cocky men do?” If that isn’t a loaded question, I don’t know what is. What I do know is “I, Witness” is chock full of red herrings, suspects, and a whodunit fit for superb mystery novel. When Eva Whitfield (Brianna Brown), Castle’s (Nathan Fillion) former classmate, asks him to find out whether her husband Cole (Ivan Sergei) is cheating, he gets more than he bargained for. Turns out his new client ends up dead! Queue dramatic music.

“Rule No. 3: Don’t Stand in the Doorway” does a great job of addressing the fears in all of us. From the simplest—Charlie’s fear of the dark—to the more serious—Delia’s fear of commitment, and Abby’s avoidance of Will (Warren Christie), everyone faces their worst fears in “Rule No. 3.”

<i>Sleepy Hollow</i> – “Spellcaster” Recap. Evil Warlocks, Blood Magic, and Trash Talking. 13

Diabolical and treacherous, “Spellcaster” is a fantastic episode full of evil warlocks and betrayal. An auction house in White Plains, NY becomes the scene of two gruesome murders when a dark sorcerer infiltrates the warehouse to steal an ancient book known as the “Grand Grimoire.” Meanwhile, the return of the prodigal son unveils shocking revelations about a trusted ally. And, for one character, the more you practice the better you get, even where magic is concerned, but will dark temptations ruin everything?

<i>Shameless</i> - "A Night to Remem-Wait, What?" Review. Easy Come, Easy Go 15

“A Night to Remem-Wait, What?” is, without a doubt, the best episode of the season so far. Episodic writer Davey Holmes outdoes himself with the ongoing story lines and brilliant dialogue. The episode revolves mainly around Fiona and Frank, and both Rossum and Macy steal almost every scene they’re in.

The Americans Season 3 Premiere – “EST Men” Review. The Saga Continues.

<i>The Americans</i> Season 3 Premiere – “EST Men” Review. The Saga Continues. 22

“EST Men” unfortunately lacks the suspense, intensity, and passion that was so prevalent in previous seasons, except for the opening scene, which had me holding my breath. That is not to say I didn’t enjoy the season premiere, as I did. “EST Men” is too busy setting up the third season of The Americans to include the same level of action sequences we’ve seen before. It would be unreasonable to expect that. I’m sure there will be plenty of edge-of-your-seat scenes to thrill us as the season moves forward.

<i>Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce</i> – “Rule 32: F-You, Rob Frumpkis!” Retrospective. Lessons Learned. 23

I can always tell when Noxon puts on her writer’s cap—I find myself with an idiotic Cheshire grin on my face throughout the majority of the episode. “Rule 32” fits the bill, particularly during Edelstein and Christie’s scenes together. They have such amazing chemistry onscreen, I could almost close my eyes and feel the emotions bouncing off them. Of course, director Robert Duncan McNeill deserves kudos for the way he sets up the scenes.

Colorful characters and good intentions abound in “Cash Game.” After Boyd (Walton Goggins) robs the bank in “Fate’s Right Hand,” he’s not sure if what he finds in Calhoun’s (actor name) safe deposit box is worth the “three million” he was told by Katherine Hale (Mary Steenburgen) and Wynn Duffy (Jere Burns). But, there’s more than one way to skin a cat…
