Common Law is thoroughly enjoyable. It’s intelligent and entertaining. It provides witty banter, sharp dialogue, and terrific acting by all involved.

You Call That A Finale? Review: New Girl “See Ya”
“See Ya” feels more like a series finale than a season finale. The ending is predictable and not all that funny. The gem of the show comes when the gang ends up in the desert and keys start flying. I didn’t see that coming.

I Wouldn’t Get My Hopes Up With This One… Book Review: Deadlocked by Charlaine Harris
This wasn’t the worst I’ve read by Harris nor was it the greatest, but I closed the book feeling like a sucker. If you’re looking for the Harris of old who made us laugh and kept us involved, trying to solve the big mystery with Sookie in every story, you’ll be sorely disappointed.

Busting A Witchy B*tch’s Balls and Fae STD’s? Oh My! Review: Lost Girl “Mirror, Mirror”
“Mirror, Mirror” is an intense but highly entertaining episode. You get a bit of humor from our lovable Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) but it’s of a darker variety, for the most part. The Wtich Baba Yaga is scary. The fable or myth of Baba Yaga, who is Fae by the way, is a cross between Bloody Mary and the witch in Hansel and Gretel.

Is it Karma or God? Review: The Borgias, S2, Ep. 205 “The Choice”
“The Choice” provides a variety of things to gaze at and relish in. From a ‘bromance’ whose flames are rekindled to a Cardinal showing the Sforzas how things get done, this episode does not skimp on excitement, intrigue, and unexpected revelations.

Michael’s Back and Rebecca Falls Ill. Review: Smash – “Previews” @NBCSmash
Seems like everything that can go wrong with opening night does, making for a very interesting episode. Dev (Raza Jaffrey) isn’t returning Karen’s (Katharine McPhee) calls, and Jessica (Savannah Wise) hasn’t been able to reach Ivy (Megan Hilty) either. Michael (Will Chase) returns to the role of Joe DiMaggio, causing huge problems for Julia (Debra Messing) and Tom (Christian Borle). On top of that, Rebecca (Uma Thurman) ends up in the hospital. Yeah, I’d say “all hell breaks loose.”

Where O Where Have My Dragons Gone? Review: Game of Thrones “The Old Gods and The New”
The name of the game in “The Old Gods and the New” is taking what doesn’t belong to you. A castle is claimed in the name of a lesser prince; dragons go missing without a trace; and the Iron King gets what’s coming to him.

Selina’s A Bad Mother, Shut Your Mouth! Review: Veep “Catherine”
This episode doesn’t impress as much as the first two, but it’s enjoyable all the same. I want to see more of Senator Doyle. That guy kills me.

When Will Linden Learn? Review: The Killing “Keylala”
Day twenty begins with smiles, breakfast burritos, and butterflies. Too bad it doesn’t end on such a happy note.

“…blonde ladies don’t age well.” Review: The Big C, S3 Ep. 305 “Face Off”
“Face Off” is not a completely light-hearted episode. There are a few humorous moments but overall, the episode tends to lean on the emotionally weighty side. Adam (Gabriel Basso) finally sounds off about his feelings regarding his parent’s decision to adopt a baby. It’s one of the refreshing reasons why I love The Big C. They don’t hold back on the real emotions when they write these scripts and the actors give wonderful performances as they convey a range of feelings – sadness, madness, happiness, frustration, guilt, and love.

Jackie is still in a serious state of denial. Review: Nurse Jackie, S4 E5 – “One-Eyed Jacks”
Let me start with a question: OMG, how many shoes does Dr. O’Hara (Eve Best) have?! I know she has a thing for them, but really? Jackie (Edie Falco) doesn’t seem at all phased by the massive collection when she takes O’Hara the Disney-shaped pancakes she made for Fiona (Mackenzie Aladjem) and Grace (Ruby Jerins), who Jackie forgot were with Kevin (Dominic Fumusa).

A Very Fitting Ending. Review: Series Finale of In Plain Sight – “All’s Well That Ends Well”
We’ve enjoyed five exciting seasons of In Plain Sight, all filled with interesting witnesses and stories, family drama, love interests, and (Mary McCormack) witticisms. So, I was hopeful the series finale would continue along those lines and I’m happy to say, it does. “All’s Well That Ends Well” does a great job of giving us everything we want while bringing closure to the storylines we’ve faithfully followed over the years. Not the least of which is Mary and Marshall’s (Frederick Weller) relationship. All’s well does, indeed, end well and I loved every minute of it.

Captain Black Sparrow to the Rescue! Review: New Girl “Backslide”
I loved “Backslide.” It is engaging, witty, and refreshing. Nick and Caroline’s made up dance to Jess’ I’m-depressed-let-me-wallow-in-self-pity song is surprisingly hilarious.

Vampires Should Fear the Sun! Review: The Vampire Diaries “Before Sunset”
There is excitement and intrigue as we find our resident badass has a plan to make a break for it with the ever unprotected doppelganger. “Before Sunset” is literally heart stopping indeed, but leaves viewers wondering “What now?”

Mr. Sandman, Bring Me A…Nightmare? Review: Lost Girl “Scream a Little Dream”
The real nitty gritty of “Scream a Little Dream” is when Frank (Jason Blicker), a hotel doorman, asks Bo and Kenzi for help. It seems all the tenants in his hotel have gone mad. But Bo gets more than she bargained for when she gets tangled up with the sinister Dark Fae species known as The Mare. Connie, The Mare (Kristina Pesic), not only gives you nightmares, she feeds off the fear they provoke.

Cheating, Reconciling, and a Failed Marriage Proposal. Photos and Review: Smash – “Tech” @NBCSmash
Tech, or should I say technical, issues are at the heart of “Bombshell” after the production heads to Boston and loses its Joe DiMaggio. From a desk being too large, a leading lady with a bad case of the nerves, a director who can’t keep his hands off said leading lady, and a failed marriage proposal, “Tech” presents an excellent look at what can go wrong with a Broadway production before it actually reaches Broadway. Talk about an awful lot of drama!

Review: Girls – “All Adventurous Women Do” – One’s Authentic Self and the Evil Fruity Little Voice
What kind of man plays with a woman’s jelly rolls and asks if she eats for fun post-sex? Answer: the type of man who is douchebag enough to irresponsibly lie about transmitting STDs. The OB-GYN has bad news for Hannah (Lena Dunham). Who is to blame for her condition and will her diagnosis cause a ruckus in her life?

Book Review: The Lost Gate by Orson Scott Card
Surprisingly, I loved The Lost Gate. Granted, it took me quite a while to get into it because I wasn’t sure where Card was going with the story—but once I became engrossed in the tale, I really enjoyed it.

There’s A Reason I Stay Away From Cow Juice Review: Veep “Frozen Yoghurt”
The Veep finally gets what she wants—her fifteen minutes in the West Wing—and it makes me excited for her. Only things don’t exactly go the way she wants and she ends up having a “yoghurt” mishap.

“…vengeance is patient. It can wait a lifetime…” Review: The Borgias “Stray Dogs”
After pulling off one of the grandest of ruses, Cesare (François Arnaud) gets bad news from his trusted abettor, the cunning and ruthless Micheletto (Sean Harris). Micheletto doesn’t think highly of himself, which is evident when he acknowledges Cesare as his “master” as if he were a “stray dog.” Cesare, however, seems very interested in finding more people like Micheletto – men who are not fearful of getting their hands filthy.
