Sometimes I think Desperate Housewives portrays people accurately, with Tom and Lynette getting the “most like a real couple” award (except for last week’s scene at Bree and Orson’s dinner table). Then there are other times when the show sinks to cartoonish antics that don’t resemble real life at all. In this week’s episode, Susan […]

Now that Castle’s copycat killer is out of the way, and isn’t it nice that they dispatched with that story in the first episode, we get our first shot at what it looks like for him to shadow Beckett as he works on his next book. Really, that’s where we’re at with this show. There […]

Do you think the producers of Survivor thought that a secret “Exile Alliance” might spring up when they changed up the rules this season? Now, when a winning tribe sends a losing tribe member to Exile Island, that person gets to select someone from the winning tribe to join them. In the very beginning, Brendan […]
