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.

Witches of East End – Season Finale “Box to the Future” and “For Whom the Spell Tolls” Retrospective. All Good Things.
After watching the Witches of East End season two finale, make no mistake about it. In the world of the supernatural genre, the writers know how to weave a well-driven ensemble piece with evolving characters and storytelling that pushes boundaries. In the aftermath of the thrilling two-hour season finale (episodes “Box to the Future” and “For Whom the Spell Tolls”), I’m still processing the weight of the surprising turn of events, as well as the impact they will have on the future of the series as a whole. ‘Darkness is rising’ is not only the theme for season two, it’s the foundation for so much that transpires in the finale. Episodic writers Richard Hatem and Maggie Friedman go all out with shocking revelations and heartbreaking losses.

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

The Goldbergs – “Mama Drama” Retrospective. Jesus and the 30 Apostles
Adam (Sean Giambrone) is eager to try out for a role in his school’s production of Jesus Christ Superstar, which happens to be his favorite musical. Beverly convinces Adam, “There is only one role suitable for my talented, delicious, little boy; my baby is Jesus.” The only problem is despite Beverly’s endless praise, Adam isn’t a very good singer.

Satisfaction Renewed for a Second Season
I’ve been having fun watching Satisfaction’s Neil Truman (Matt Passmore) and his wife Grace (Stephanie Szostak) do the marriage dance with the help, so to speak, of Adriana (Katherine LaNasa) and Simon (Blair Redford). So, after watching the shocking cliffhanger that closed out season one, I’ve been anxiously waiting to find out whether Satisfaction would be renewed. I’m happy to say it is.

Interviews: The Men of The Vampire Diaries – Matt Davis, Paul Wesley, and Ian Somerhalder. Is it Hot in Here?
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?
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.
“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.”

Ray Donovan Season 2 Finale – “The Captain” Review. Full Circle.
There is no doubt “The Captain” is the most explosive, intense, riveting season finale I’ve ever seen. It is so captivating, I have already watched it twice so as not to miss one single word. Most shows end their seasons with cliffhangers to ensure their viewers return for the new season. Such is not the case with “The Captain.” It stands on its own, and if you’re a true ‘Donofan,’ like I am, you’ll be back next season to find out where our characters go next.
