Despite the title “Lucrezia’s Wedding” it is not solely about Lucrezia’s upcoming nuptials to the grim Giovani Sforza (Ronan Vibert). Her marriage is a key political move orchestrated by her father, Pope Alexander VI (Jeremy Irons). Lucrezia is only 14 years old. She is inexperienced in so many things, it breaks my heart to see her so wide-eyed and naïve as to how things will be in her new marriage.

HBO Renews “Game of Thrones” for a Second Season
I find it interesting that some networks renew some shows after only one episode, while others, wildly popular with fans (think Chuck, among others), languish til the very last minute waiting for the all-important call telling them their show has been renewed. How happy everyone involved in “Game of Thrones” must be to have learned the show has been granted a second season already.

Review: Camelot, Season 1, Ep 104 “Lady of The Lake”
I am beginning to fall in love with this version of Camelot! It’s not the like the stories I’d heard growing up about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Starz has created a truly grown-up version and I am relishing in its tenacious grip. It evokes a sense of darkness and coveting I’ve never experienced in any other retelling of the tale.

Review: Bones, Season 6, Ep 18 “The Truth in the Myth”
Could the elusive and mythical Chupacabra be real? Could the elusive and mythical Chupacabra be real? There is no shortage of tales regarding its existence, but Brennan (Emily Deschanel) doesn’t believe it’s real despite the strange circumstances surrounding Lee Coleman’s (Leigh McCloskey) death. And butterflies eat dead people?

Review: Justified, Season 2, Ep 10 “Debts and Accounts”
Someone is trying to kill Raylan. Could it be the Bennetts in retaliation for Coover’s (Brad William Henke) untimely demise? Or could it be the Miami cartel coming back for revenge? “Debts and Accounts” is busier than a one-armed bandit! There is so much going on in this episode and it’s chock full of surprises.

Review: United States of Tara, Season 3, Ep 3 – “The Full ‘F*** You’ Finger”
With a variable “hoard” of things going on in “The Full ‘F*** You’ Finger,” it’s hard to focus on a main storyline. Everything seems to have significance in future episodes. I guess the one that catches my attention the most is Max’s (John Corbett) mother Sandy (guest star Frances Conroy), who is a hoarder.

Review – Nurse Jackie, Season 3, Episode 3 – “Play Me”
The words “Play Me” seem to have more than one meaning besides being the title. Perhaps they refer to God (Michael Buscemi, yes he’s Steve Buscemi’s brother, reprising his role from last season) stealing a street piano so he can play it for Zoey (Merritt Wever); or perhaps to Kevin (Dominic Fumusa), who uses his sister Tunie (Jaimie Alexander) to spy on Jackie for him; or it could be Coop (Peter Facinelli) playing Thor (Stephen Wallum) to get his help with a fantasy football league in the hospital. There’s a lot going on in “Play Me,” and it’s all good.

Review – The Killing, Season 1, Episode 2 – “El Diablo”
As “El Diablo” begins, we are once again faced with City Councilman Darren Richmond (Billy Campbell) and his possible role in the murder of Rosie Larsen. Of course, we’re also reintroduced to the horrific scene of last week’s “The Cage” but we’re still no closer to finding out what happened to Rosie.
