The majority of “Crossfire” spends its time between present day and three years ago when Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban) brings Brody to his home to be his young son Issa’s (Rohan Chand) English tutor. There are two distinct, separate storylines in this episode: Carrie’s (Claire Danes) involvement in handling the outrage of the Muslim community after last week’s shooting in the mosque; and Brody’s kidnapping as he goes in and out of consciousness, reliving his time with Issa. And we finally learn what Brody’s mission is as we come to understand the deep connection formed between him and Nazir.

This is by far the best episode of Hung I think I’ve ever seen. It’s raw and full of emotion, bringing the drama aspect front and center. Yes, you still get a few laughs, but mostly you have heartfelt feelings which radiate well after the half hour is over.

The ending of “Pretty Much Dead Already” is so shocking I can’t even put my feelings into words.

Chicago Mayor Kane (Kelsey Grammer) temporarily retreats after Dr. Gabriela Reyes (Carmen Roman) implicates him in a trichloroethylene scandal believed to cause cancer and liver disease to residents of Bensenville, a nearby municipality. With Kane politically wounded and opportunists attempting to overtake his kingdom, how will he fight back?

““Rubber Man” answers a few questions but then leaves me with more. It also focuses on Vivien’s (Connie Britton) delicate sanity. With Ben’s (Dylan McDermott) former mistress Hayden (Kate Mara) lurking about, things continue to go from crazy to psychotic! And who is the real father of Vivien’s twins? And what supernatural powers does the house possess?

With the success of Cinemax’s highly intriguing and intense counter-terrorism series, Strike Back, the network is trying to hit gold again with its new suspense series, “Nemesis.” The show, set to air in 2012, deals with international espionage at an elite private intelligence firm and stars Melissa George (“30 Days of Night,” “In Treatment”). With the description below from creator Frank Spotnitz (“The X-Files,” “Strike Back”), it looks like I’ll be adding another show to my must-watch TV list.

A determined and angry Opie (Ryan Hurst) is on the hunt for his father’s killer. Surprisingly, he exercises significant self-restraint by waiting until the next day to go around asking questions, but his passive/aggressive behavior reveals his deep resentment and distrust for the people from the only world he’s known.

Amy’s (Laura Dern) days of work-less coasting have come to an end. The success of the productivity tracking software her boss Dougie (Timm Sharp) developed has brought him a vice-presidential promotion by Abaddonn industries– which, by the way, Abaddonn is another word for hell. Being on the big-wig radar forces Dougie to give Amy the ultimatum of being fired if she doesn’t complete the data entry project she’s been neglecting for weeks by the end of the day.

“I, Sandee” or “This Sex. Which Is. Not One.” is a really good episode. I love just about everything about it because of the trials and tribulations the characters go through.

“I’m through talking to Abu Nazir. Tell him it’s over.” ~ Brody (Damian Lewis). What! Are you kidding me? Once again, we’re on another roller coaster ride. In last week’s installment, “The Weekend,” we were led to believe Brody wasn’t the flipped POW. This week, we learn his Marine buddy, Tom Walker (Chris Chalk), is the one who was turned. But then, we’re given a one-two punch with the above statement. What does it all mean? Were both Brody and Walker turned? Or is there something else going on with Brody? After all, he did profess his love for Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban).

“Secrets” is all about secrets—those being kept for other people and those shared among confidantes. It’s obvious who can keep a secret and what the cost is for keeping mum. The truth always comes out though and when it does for the characters of The Walking Dead, how will they cope with the outcome?

Overall, Breaking Dawn: Part 1 is entertaining—the wedding is something I’ll never forget; the honeymoon scenes are hilarious (people laughed when Edward broke the bed); and the emotions portrayed during Bella’s pregnancy are so heartfelt and genuine. But I think the film could have been better.

“Who’s fucking me,” Mayor Kane (Kelsey Grammer) asks aide Ezra Stone (Martin Donovan). Someone has made public a document implicating Kane as having authorized a carcinogen trichloroethylene dump in Bensenville. “Remembered” is all about how Team Kane handles a political crisis while trying to unveil who is the culprit behind the leak is.

‘Butter’ is a refreshingly realistic comedy about the way some people think of others, the highly competitive world of butter carving, and life in general. ‘Butter’ is a slightly dark, sarcastic, sexually charged, and hysterically funny comedy focusing on one woman’s desperate desire to stay on top of the social ladder and a child’s struggle to fit into a town where color stands out.

A young woman, Debbie Cortez (uncredited), is found Saran® wrapped and her remains are liquefied. While I don’t recommend eating any pudding or mushy foods while watching the first ten minutes of the episode, it’s quite unique how the writers come up with varying ways of decomposing human remains and how best to work with them in the lab. The fact that they use a soup ladle to scoop up the human goo (if you will) is both stomach- churning as it is fascinating.

Denis O’Hare is riding high in Hollywood these days with an upcoming role in Clint Eastwood’s film J. Edgar and TV roles in The Good Wife, True Blood and American Horror Story. O’Hare shared with us his interest in defined characters, his training as an actor, and he even discussed True Blood. However, most of our time was well spent discussing his role as Larry Harvey, the burnt man in American Horror Story.

I became interested in Kelly Osbourne, she of famous parents Ozzy and Sharon, during her turn on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. She fascinated me with her charm, quick wit and shining personality. Then she hooked up with Joan Rivers on E!’s Fashion Police, a show I dearly love, not only for the fashion, but the comedy as well. That shows never ceases to make me laugh. Now, Kelly has agreed to give her fans a look inside her personal life, along with her parents, brother Jack, and a close friend. The special airs Sunday, November 20 at 11:00 pm on E!.

I have mixed emotions about Sex on the Moon. While the title is somewhat misleading (there’s no literal sex on the moon), the heist it refers to doesn’t seem like much of a heist. It reads like a mind-game turned (potential and eventual) crime with a mastermind who’s clearly not much of a mastermind at all.

The opening shot of Mac (Rob McElhenney) sitting in a confessional perfectly sets the tone for this week’s installment of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. He’s a slouch in a t-shirt that doesn’t quite fit, showing off his fat belly. Not a pretty sight! When Father Cullen (W. Morgan Sheppard) asks what his confession is, Mac responds, “I’m fat.”

The rising tension between Gemma (Katey Sagal), Wayne (Dayton Callie) and Clay (Ron Perlman) help skeletons find their way out of the closet. When Wayne reveals to Opie (Ryan Hurst) that Clay killed his father Pinney (William Lucking), urging him to ‘off’ Clay before he kills someone else he loves, Gemma’s assertion that Clay will die in the hands of a Son takes on a prophetic undertone. Will it happen because of Gemma’s infinite wisdom or due to her ability to influence others?

I seriously laughed my ass off watching this episode. I don’t know how the show’s creator Elizabeth Meriwether came up with the concept for New Girl, but I’m glad she did. We learn a few things about the gang and I have to admit, I fall in love with the roommates a little more each time I see them.
