Review: Lost Girl “(Dis)Members Only” – Human du Jour with Mixed Greens
““I don’t want anyone else’s hand on your body. I don’t want anyone’s mouth on yours…” ~ Dyson
Every week, we’re introduced to a new species of Fae, whether it be of the light or dark variety, and the cases seem to get a bit stranger, which suits me just fine. Bo and Dyson go undercover as husband and wife at the posh country club where the illegal immigrant staff seems to turn up missing more often than not.

The Affair is Revealed with Devastating Results. Review: Smash, S1, E9 – “Hell on Earth”
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.

Can Someone Please Get the Baby Out of the Dryer?! My Review: Season Finale of Shameless – “Fiona Interrupted”
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.

Review: Lost Girl – “Faetal Justice” – Dyson, the Big Bad Wolf
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
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?

Movie Review: Lionsgate’s “The Hunger Games”
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
“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.

Will his re-emergence in San Francisco result in more deaths or could it save someone’s life?
