Homeland – “Krieg Nicht Lieb” Retrospective. Revenge.

<i>Homeland</i> – “Krieg Nicht Lieb” Retrospective. Revenge. 2

As penultimate episodes go, “Krieg Nicht Lieb” is a tad disappointing. While it does have some exciting, suspenseful moments, it’s short—like last week’s episode—to the tune of lasting only 45 minutes. Also, it’s a filler episode at best, even with its compelling moments. “Krieg Nicht Lieb” leaves us with too many questions unanswered, most importantly how will the Haqqani story line end?

The Affair – “109” Retrospective. Trouble in Paradise.

<i>The Affair</i> – “109” Retrospective. Trouble in Paradise. 3

“109” is one of the best penultimate episodes I’ve seen in quite a while. The acting is exceptional, the writing is outstanding, and the directing spot on, to say nothing of how dazzling the cinematography is. The word “compelling” doesn’t even begin to describe this episode. I couldn’t tear my eyes from the screen for one single, solitary moment.

Grimm – “Chupacabra” Recap. Urban Legends vs. Truth.

<i>Grimm</i> – “Chupacabra” Recap. Urban Legends vs. Truth. 4

When a local Portland doctor, Diego Hoyos (Max Arciniega) returns from a long trip in the Dominican Republic, strange things begin to happen to him that he can’t explain. When one of his neighbors is found exsanguinated, a witness seems to believe it’s the work of “El Chupacabra.” An urban legend, the “Chupacabra” is believed to look like a goat that sucks the blood of its victims. As fall finales go, “Chupacabra” is fantastic! It is suspenseful, dramatic, and filled with surprises that will surely tide you over until Grimm returns in January 2015.

The Goldbergs – “The Most Handsome Boy on the Planet” Retrospective. Model Walk. 10

It was only a matter of time before someone other than Beverly (Wendi McLendon-Covey) realized Barry (Troy Gentile) is, as the title suggests, “The Most Handsome Boy on the Planet.” So, when John Calabasas (Rob Huebel) approaches Barry in a shopping mall, telling him he could make Barry thousands as a model and all it will cost Barry is $100, it has to be legit. Doesn’t it?

Luke Wilson and Imogen Poots to Star in Showtime's New Comedy, <i>Roadies</i> 16

Showtime’s new one-hour comedy series Roadies sounds like it’s going to be a lot of fun. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into a successful rock band tour as told by the all important crew members, or “roadies” as they’re known in the industry.

<i>Homeland</i> – “13 Hours in Islamabad” Retrospective. The Body Count. 17

From the moment “13 Hours in Islamabad” begins, you know you’re in for one hell of a ride. To say this episode is tension-filled is putting it mildly. The first half hour is pulse pounding, with non-stop action, while the remaining 15 minutes (yes, that’s right; the episode is only 45 minutes long) deal with the emotional reactions to what happened.

<i>Haven</i> — “Chosen” Review. Mother Knows Best? 20

“Chosen” wraps up the first half of season five but still leaves many questions unanswered. I have a feeling the next 13 episodes will be Haven’s final ones. Writing this makes me sad. Season five of Haven has truly upped the ante and the writers took us on an epic adventure into a world of mystery, suspense, and doubt.

Secret missions, shady pasts, aging actors looking for a comeback, and murder are the name of the game in this week’s Castle. Former Hollywood action movie star Lance Delorca (Morgan Benoit) is found murdered behind a movie theater; it’s up to Beckett (StanaKatic), Esposito (Jon Huertas), and Ryan (Seamus Dever) to figure out why. Of course, Castle (Nathan Fillion) wants in on this because he’s a huge fan of Delorca’s old “Hard Kill” movies.
