The Affair is Revealed with Devastating Results. Review: Smash, S1, E9 - "Hell on Earth" 1

Eileen (Angelica Huston) insists on a new name and star for the musical if they are to go forward. Karen (Katharine McPhee) lands a national commercial for orange juice, beating out Ivy (Megan Hilty) which, needless to say, irritates the hell out of her. Speaking of Ivy, she’s taking more medications than she should. Much to his chagrin, Tom (Christian Borle) learns John (Neal Bledsoe) is a Republican, which throws a kink into their relationship. Plus, Frank (Brian d’Arcy James) has a showdown with Michael (Will Chase) after finding out about Julia’s (Debra Messing) affair with him. Once again, we find ourselves in the middle of a soap opera-ish episode but that’s ok, I like it; “Hell on Earth” keeps my interest as we delve deeper into the characters’ personalities.

My feelings are torn. I wasn’t sure what to expect during the two-hour second season premiere of The Killing and I’m left scratching my head at what I’ve watched.

Can Someone Please Get the Baby Out of the Dryer?! My Review: Season Finale of Shameless - "Fiona Interrupted" 3

What a fitting way to end the season. Not only does “Fiona Interrupted” deal with the fallout from last week’s episode—Monica’s (Chloe Webb) attempted suicide, and Sheila (Joan Cusack) and Jody (Zach McGowan) kidnapping Karen’s (Laura Slade Wiggins) newborn baby boy—it gives us a lot to look forward to for season three. However, as season finales go, this one doesn’t have the surprise or wow factor of last week’s “Just like the Pilgrims.” That’s not to say I don’t like “Fiona Interrupted,” because I certainly do.

Finally! We get an episode worthy of being called ‘the best yet’ because it’s better than I could have imagined. I don’t think a more enticing story arc could have been thrown into the mix and am pleasantly surprised with the direction the writers are taking us.

Review: Lost Girl - "Faetal Justice" - Dyson, the Big Bad Wolf 8

He’s framed for a Ba’al’s (Karl Campbell) death and, well, I’m pretty sure this is not a show where the writers kill off their main characters, like Lost or The Wire (I’m still not over the deaths of Stringer Bell and Omar). Holden-Ried does a fine snarl and growl, and I rather enjoy seeing him wolf out. I bet he enjoys it, too.

A Failed Attempt, in More Ways Than One. Review: Smash - "The Coup" @NBCSmash 9

Try as I might, my interest in Smash is waning. “The Coup” is a perfect example why. The hour is filled with a lot of nonsensical things and trite storylines that do nothing for the series. For instance, Frank (Brian d’Arcy James) tries to cheer up Julia (Debra Messing) by playing Rock Guitar and singing to her. Leo (Emory Cohen) overhears his dad singing and takes it as a sign that everything is ok. Aww, isn’t that cute? How inane can one get?

As the penultimate episode of the second season of Shameless, “Just Like the Pilgrims Intended” packs a punch. It’s filled with happiness, sadness, surprises and a lot of sex. As a matter of fact, the amount of screwing that goes on in this episode is amazing.

Movie Review: Lionsgate's "The Hunger Games" 14

I just have to come out and say it: I didn’t love this movie. I liked it, thought it was good in putting across the substance of Suzanne Collins’ novel, but felt some major points were left out. I wanted to love this film with a desperation you can’t understand because of my love for the novel. Sometimes things don’t always work out the way we want.

It Takes a Village to Raise a Child. Review: In Plain Sight - "Four Marshals and a Baby" @InPlainSight_USA 15

“Four Marshals and a Baby” is nothing if not entertaining. It is so much fun watching Stan (Paul Ben-Victor), Marshall (Frederick Weller) and even Susan (Mädchen Amick), a WITSEC politico, cooing to and cuddling baby Norah. Poor Mary (Mary McCormack), she’s so much better at her job than she is at parenting.

Focusing on one person, one plot per episode, works. Having all the characters doing their own thing is disjointed and isn’t entertaining.

Review: #JustifiedFX "Guy Walks into a Bar" (...and the bartender says...) 19

While there are elements in “Guy Walks into a Bar” that nearly knock me on my ass with their audacity, there are also moments of mediocrity. In the end, I’m giving the episode four stars because of its surprising, bare naked ending. With the surprising ending and the mano a mano showdown between Quarles and Raylan, I really hope the last few episodes amp up the intensity and drama. Quite frankly, these little tidbits here and there are starting to piss me off.

Webb Porter (Rami Malek) survived his mother’s drowning attempt when he was six years old, but it’s left him with Tinnitus–a perpetual ringing in his ears which not only torments him but sets him off to murder women. Will his re-emergence in San Francisco result in more deaths or could it save someone’s life?

So the day has come for the prospective investors to watch the workshop for “Marilyn: The Musical” and hopefully come up with the money necessary to take the production to Broadway. Along the way, however, there are some stumbling blocks—much like there are in real life. That’s one of the things I love about Smash. It doesn’t shy away from depicting the realities of Broadway.
