A gun…or a Tony award, Review: White Collar – “Neighborhood Watch”

A gun...or a Tony award, Review: White Collar - "Neighborhood Watch" 1

In a refreshing, savvy, and oftentimes humorous approach, Mozzie (Willie Garson) and Elle (Tiffani Thiessen) come to the forefront of the storytelling when some surveillance equipment left at the Burke home becomes the catalyst for a caper, and for Peter (Tim DeKay) to recognize that his wife is dealing with her kidnapping a bit differently than he expected.

Review: #JustifiedFX “Harlan Roulette” (“this ain’t Russian Roulette, it’s Harlan Roulette”)

Review: #JustifiedFX "Harlan Roulette" ("this ain't Russian Roulette, it's Harlan Roulette") 2

The new season of Justified seems a bit more cutthroat and treacherous, not to mention bloody. “Harlan Roulette” spares no expense on any of it. While Ava (Joelle Carter) visits Ellstin Limehouse (Mykelti Williamson) to ask if he’ll meet with Boyd (Walton Goggins) to discuss relinquishing the money he’s holding for Dickie Bennett (Jeremy Davies); Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) must contend with some ruthless Oxy dealers.

Review: Alcatraz – Season 1, Episode 4, “Cal Sweeney” – “A Protégé, the Alteration of Memories, and Safety Deposit Boxes.” 3

Is it possible to remove deviant and criminal behavior by implanting soothing memories in a criminal’s mind?

Cal Sweeney (Eric Johnson), an Alcatraz convict who robbed 20 banks in the 50s, has made his way to present day San Francisco where he is again robbing banks. Will Rebecca (Sarah Jones) and Doc (Jorge Garcia) figure out why he’s only going after safety deposit boxes this time around? What does this have to do with the past and…memories?

Kenzi in Pink! Review: Lost Girl - "Oh Kappa My Kappa" 4

But both of them are Faes, with Dyson firmly on the Light Fae side, and Bo somewhere in the middle, still undecided if she wants to go Light or Dark. I see why the Faes want her to choose sides, and her reluctance to choose makes her “dangerous.” How can they trust her otherwise?

An Enraged Wife, A Faux Birthday Sleepover and a Stroke of Luck. Review: Shameless – “A Beautiful Mess”

An Enraged Wife, A Faux Birthday Sleepover and a Stroke of Luck. Review: Shameless - "A Beautiful Mess" 8

Let’s count the number of ways the Gallaghers have gotten themselves into a mess this week. I’d say Fiona (Emily Rossum) sleeping with Craig (Taylor Kinney) last week qualifies now that his wife, Lucy Jo (Brit Morgan), knows about it. I also think Frank (William H. Macy) has a mess on his hands as Sheila (Joan Cusack) gets closer to discovering the truth about him and his so-called job at The Alibi Room. Then, there’s Lip (Jeremy Allen White) trying to split up Karen (Laura Wiggins) and her fiancé, Jody (Zach McGowan).

Trust, The Bard, and a Decision, Review: White Collar – “Upper Westside Story”

Trust, The Bard, and a Decision, Review: White Collar - "Upper Westside Story" 10

After the rush of the mid-season premiere and the potentially game-changing news dropped into Neal Caffrey’s (Matt Bomer) lap, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from “Upper Westside Story” in terms of character development and connection. As is usual for this series, the episode plot and case-of-the-week is tight with a crafty, clever con and a layer of sentimentality that further endears our favorite con and FBI agent, Peter Burke (Tim DeKay) to us.

Review: #JustifiedFX “Cut Ties” (“a man who’s sleeping with his dead brother’s widow and murderess..” )

Review: #JustifiedFX "Cut Ties" ("a man who’s sleeping with his dead brother’s widow and murderess.." ) 11

“Cut Ties,” however entertaining, merely sets the stage for what’s to come. Raylan plays house with Winona; Boyd can’t seem to play well with others while he’s locked up and finally gets a moment alone to talk to Dickie; A Marshal is killed and new Asst. Director Goodall (guest star Carla Gugino) comes down to KY to find out what’s going on. Dickie reveals that an old family friend, Limehouse (guest star Mykelti Williamson) has his momma’s money, which poses an obstacle for Boyd.

From his police scanner, Doc Soto (Jorge Garcia) picks up on an important clue from listening to the reports of a missing child: a Chrysanthemum has been left behind on the child’s bed. Will team Alcatraz team be able to sort through clues from both the past and present to save an 11- year- old boy within a 48- hour time frame?

Review: House of Lies "Microphallus" (Don’t Tell Me “Teenis” Didn’t Make You Laugh) 15

I enjoy “Microphallus” but there’s something missing. The usual laughs aren’t there because it borders on being a serious episode—dramatic rather than comedic.

Adultery, A Death Obsession, and a Premature Death. Review: Shameless - "I'll Light a Candle for You Every Day" 16

Morality comes to the forefront in this episode of Shameless, something the Gallaghers usually spend little time thinking about. Fiona (Emily Rossum) hooks up with high school sweetheart Craig Heisner (Taylor Kinney, The Vampire Diaries) on Facebook and must determine whether to sleep with him; and Frank (William H. Macy) has to decide just how far he’s willing to go to get his mitts on Dottie’s (Molly Price) money. Then there’s Kev (Steve Howey), who wants to buy The Alibi Room from Stan (Jack Carter); and Debbie (Emma Kenney) is obsessed with death following Harry’s passing last week.

Review: Spartacus: Vengeance "Fugitivus" (Blood Soaked Vengeance Stained on the Lips of Gladiators) 17

As I watch anxiously to see how McIntyre embodies our beloved Thracian, I am happy to report that not only does McIntyre perform admirably, “Fugitivus” in and of itself is enthralling! I wait with bated breath as the first scene unfolds, bloody and unyielding in its violence. If you are faint of heart and cannot stand the gore of blood splattering, I suggest you steel yourself because this is a show not to be missed!

I want to say this episode is excellent but I can’t. It’s good-ish but lacking that extra something. Oh but wait, we do get that something with the surprise cliffhanger ending.

Advance Review: The Finder "Bullets" (A 20 year old Bullet & the real Miami Vice?) #follow @TheFinderonFOX 20

“Bullets” is not only intriguing with how Walter puts his unique methods of finding things to the ultimate test – finding a 20-year-old bullet in a swamp that is now a storage facility with a paved parking lot – but it’s also very entertaining and has tons of witty humor. And how can you go wrong paying homage to Crockett and Tubs of Miami Vice fame?

Review: New Girl "Story of the 50" (I'm Getting One of Those Jars) 21

Drunken Nick antics, douchebauchery, and the Benjamin beat down don’t really redeem “Story of the 50.” If I can be honest, the Sundrop commercial during the break was funnier than the entire episode. And that’s not saying much.

Review: Alcatraz - "Ernest Cobb" – An OCD Sniper and a Few Time Travelers 23

Don’t let the initial dark, eerie voiceover and music lead you to think this is another cheesy paranormal show. In its two-hour premiere, Alcatraz uses its first hour, “Jack Sylvane,” as an introduction to the characters and to put the show’s premise into context so the at large storyline can be set free. The second hour, “Ernest Cobb,” serves to transition the viewers into the show’s concept and into the action without skipping a beat.
