The Unusual Suspects. Retrospective: Grimm – “One Night Stand”

The Unusual Suspects. Retrospective: Grimm – “One Night Stand” 1

“One Night Stand” will leave you feeling a bit parched and waterlogged all at the same time. “One Night Stand” is interesting in that it provides not only a new species of Wesen but also highlights Nick’s (David Giuntoli) newly enhanced Grimm powers. I feel, however, like it is a filler episode with a lackluster fight scene on the docks. I’m also getting an uneasy feeling about Nick’s Grimm prowess being heightened because something just isn’t right about it.

All Shall Be Revealed… Review: Dracula – “From Darkness to Light”

All Shall Be Revealed... Review: Dracula – “From Darkness to Light” 2

I haven’t seen an episode of Dracula I didn’t like. And I’ll be honest, I don’t think I ever will.

But Elizabeth Burke (Tiffani Thiessen) isn’t convinced the young man is the same little boy she used to tutor.

Doppelgangers No More… Review: The Vampire Diaries – “Death and the Maiden”

Doppelgangers No More… Review: The Vampire Diaries – “Death and the Maiden” 4

I was expecting to love “Death and the Maiden” more than I did. The overwhelming emotion wrought from the characters should have been enough to engage me, but I found my attention waning at times.

Smart. Review: The Tomorrow People – “Sorry For Your Loss”

Smart. Review: The Tomorrow People – “Sorry For Your Loss” 5

I enjoyed “Sorry For Your Loss” and glimpsing Russell’s past. I’m not sure if I like him more or less now though.

The Boys Are Back! Review: The Originals – “Bloodletting”

The Boys Are Back! Review: The Originals - "Bloodletting" 6

“Bloodletting” is yet another solid episode and proves The Originals is making its way in the vampire drama TV slot.

TV News: Science Channel Presents FUTURESCAPE With James Woods 8

The Charming Women Unravel. Recap: Sons of Anarchy – “Huang Wu”

The Charming Women Unravel. Recap: Sons of Anarchy – “Huang Wu” 9

Does the truth really set a person free or does it deepen the ties that bind people together?

Seeing Isn’t Always Believing. Review: Sleepy Hollow – “The Midnight Ride”

Seeing Isn’t Always Believing. Review: Sleepy Hollow – “The Midnight Ride” 10

Although there is a saying, “Seeing is believing,” sometimes, you simply can’t believe what you’ve just witnessed with your own two eyes. Then again, many have blind faith in a God they’ve never seen. There are also those who believe in something many say doesn’t exist…like ghosts or the paranormal. I think Sleepy Hollow gives us many examples of all the above in “The Midnight Ride.”

Past Lives and Blood Magic. Retrospective: Witches of East End – “Potentia Noctis”

Past Lives and Blood Magic. Retrospective: Witches of East End - "Potentia Noctis" 11

Witches of East End outdoes itself again with “Potentia Noctis,” an episode so chock full of sex, intrigue, and magic, it leaves some lives fair game for ultimate disaster. “Potentia Noctis” is not only a game changer, putting all the pieces of the puzzle together about the elusive shape-shifter, but it sheds light on the cause for Joanna (Julia Ormond) and Wendy’s (Mädchen Amick) 100-year estrangement.

Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend. Recap: Castle – “A Murder is Forever”

Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend. Recap: Castle – “A Murder is Forever” 12

“And if you want to be invited into my territory again, you might want to re-think that.” – Kate Beckett. To be honest, I wasn’t completely thrilled with “A Murder is Forever,” but it was certainly a big step up from last week’s “Like Father, Like Daughter.” I won’t even light that fire again. Although “A Murder is Forever” has a lot of things going for it, including a few good Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) scenes, one huge action-packed interlude, and an overall twisty murder investigation, however there are a few things that fell flat for me.

When It Rains… Review: The Walking Dead - “Internment” 16

I must decree “Internment” is an exciting, tense, and frightening episode—maybe even one of the top five best episodes. And not even because of the walkers.

Electrifying Developments. Review Haven — “William”

Electrifying Developments. Review Haven — “William” 17

Just when I think I have an idea of what’s happening on Haven, “William” blows my theories to smithereens. “William” is a fantastic, mind-blowing episode that will have your jaws aching from being dropped to the floor, and your eyes and ears straining to make sure you don’t miss a single electrifying moment! Beware, things are not as they seem.

The Dr. Is In. Retrospective: White Collar – “Controlling Interests”

The Dr. Is In. Retrospective: White Collar - “Controlling Interests” 21

I’m going to just come out and say it—this episode simply did not work for me on many levels but I’m not 100% sure why. Something feels off and I don’t know whether it’s because the writers are setting the characters up for something big (like an emotional breakdown for someone) or something else entirely.

This Little Piggy… Retrospective: Grimm – “A Dish Best Served Cold”

This Little Piggy... Retrospective: Grimm – “A Dish Best Served Cold” 22

An unappetizing quote leads us into a macabre episode of culinary frights. “A Dish Best Served Cold” is quite gruesome in its subject matter with tension slowly building from the opening scene to the end. I found myself unable to turn away from the screen because something major was going down and I didn’t want to miss a single second.
