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.

Outlander –“Both Sides Now” Review. How to Choose.
Outlander hits quite a few highs in this emotionally charged episode but not enough that I can rave about how great it is.

Haven — “Spotlight” Recap. Pancakes and Laser Beams.
Before we get into Nathan and Mara’s groping scenes (oh yeah), let’s talk about the new “trouble” happening in “Spotlight.” A Haven resident, Jody (Lucia Walters), is shooting laser beams from her chest. I know I’m not the only one thinking she has laser boobs! Alas, the lasers come from her torso but don’t originate in the center of her breasts like those boob-guns from Austin Powers. These laser beams are deadly and cause a lot of anxiety for many.

How to Get Away with Murder Series Premiere – “Pilot” Review. Dead Bodies.
I have no doubt How to Get Away with Murder is going to become another hit series for ABC, and it’s the tangled interpersonal relationships that will make it so. That and, of course, Viola Davis.

Black-ish – “Pilot” Review. Keepin’ It Real with Baked Fried Chicken?
There is a term, white washed, that comes to mind when you think of ethnic groups who’ve become distant from their cultural background. Basically, if you are of a non-white origin, get a good education, a great paying job, and move out of the proverbial hood, you’ve become white washed. What’s wrong with wanting to better yourself and create a prosperous life for your family? After all, America is a giant melting pot, right? I mean, even food is getting in on it. There is Asian fusion, Tex-Mex, and a bevy of mixed up everything. Our venture into the Johnson family’s world revolves around one thing – have they lost their blackness?

The Lottery –“Mr. Torino” Review. The Man Behind the Car.
I’m not overly impressed with the way things are going. I am looking forward to seeing the outcome of Darius’s plans. He isn’t afraid to take matters into his own hands, and I’m curious to see who the trigger man will be if the president ends up shot next week.

Exciting and aggravating; dramatic and emotional; the season seven premiere of Castle will put you through the ringer before it’s over. As “Driven” opens, Kate, looking stunning in her wedding dress, runs toward the wreckage, overcome with emotion, only to be held back by the raging fire. Is this the end? Is Castle gone? He isn’t in the car and he’s nowhere to be found. So, where is Richard Castle?

The Goldbergs – “Love is a Mixtape” Advance Review. The Bailout
The Goldbergs makes an entertaining return to TV, kicking off season two with “Love is a Mixtape.” Not only is love in the air, but the Goldberg kids are now much older. If you don’t believe me, just take a look at James Bond, Berry Bonds, Mr. Clock Table’s driver’s license.

Witches of East End – “The Fall of the House of Beauchamp” Retrospective. Dead Witches Walking.
There’s never a dull moment in East End as “The Fall of the House of Beauchamp” picks right up from the heartbreaking ending of “Smells Like King Spirit,” showing the impact of Frederick’s (Christian Cooke) actions. But it’s not just sorrow saturating the first half of the episode. Resurrection, Santería, and a royal arrival are merely some of the big events following the aftermath of Freya (Jenna Dewan Tatum) and Ingrid’s (Rachel Boston) untimely departure.

Sleepy Hollow – “This Is War” Review. Loop Holes and Illusions.
Explosive and mesmerizing! Sleepy Hollow gallops back onto television screens full force in “This Is War.” Last we saw, our lovable, yet overdressed Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison), was buried in a wooden crate at the hands of his long lost son Henry Parish (John Noble). Abbie (Nicole Beharie) is trapped in Purgatory, and her sister Jenny (Lyndie Greenwood) is left for dead in the middleof the road. Meanwhile, Ichabod’s beloved wife, and witch, Katrina (Katia Winter) has been taken by the Headless Horseman (Jeremey Owens). As we dive into “This Is War,” something strange happens.

The Strain – “The Third Rail” Review. Claustrophobic Endeavors.
Nail biter. Jaw dropping. Gripping. Any and all of these words don’t come close to describing what transpires in “The Third Rail.” If you are at all claustrophobic, take note; this will probably be a tough episode to watch. Nearly every scene is wrought with tension, amplifying your anxiety and nervousness for what will happen next. From Gus (Miguel Gómez) making a horrifying discovery when he gets home, to young Zach (Ben Hyland) leaving the sanctuary of Abraham’s (David Bradley) pawn shop on a fool’s errand, “The Third Rail” will have you glued to your seat— although you’ll probably be watching through your fingers most of the time.

Ray Donovan – “Rodef” Top Five Moments. Murphy’s Law.
As penultimate episodes go, “Rodef” is top class. It takes us a little closer to winding up certain story lines, setting up this season’s finale perfectly. I must say, I’m sorry this is the last we’ll see of Shorty. I truly enjoyed his character, and Duvall is to be commended for his excellent portrayal of Mickey’s cancer-ridden, pot smoking friend. They certainly had a lot of good times together.
