(Season 5, Episode 19 – “Vegas”) With the next to last episode of a series, you would be within reason to expect that this is where the rubber meets the road. Any time that needed to be filled has been, and now the team back at HQ can settle in to wrap up the series. […]
(12/22 – 12/29) Yikes. That was not what you would call a good week of television.

Hughie, and Joss, and Seacrest, oh my! Writing a poem with seven different authors makes for a bit of the crazy.

It was a tough week of television for him. There were a lot of repeats. The CW only managed 3½ hours of original programming for the […]
(Season 5, Episode 18 – “Identity”) On paper, this episode really didn’t look good going in. I’ve already made it clear that I’m just not a Keller fan, and here comes a Keller story. On top of that, my other gripe as we get closer and closer to the big series finale has been that […]
