The Mentalist – A “psychic” hears from Jane’s dead wife

(Season 1, Episode 7 – “Seeing Red”) Why do people in TV shows, when they’re being chased by an automobile, always run straight ahead? How come they don’t run off to the side, or down another street, or duck into a store doorway and instead run straight ahead, look back, and slow down and/or stop? […]

Fringe – Walter Bishop gets recommitted for a cause

(Season 1, Episode 8 – “The Equation”) Well, after eight episodes I can say I’m officially hooked. While things started off a little slow on this show, I can now see why FOX was willing to throw out that full season pick-up in early October. They’d probably already seen at least scripts or early screenings […]

The Shield – Vic’s confession – Live-blog/Chat

(Season 7, Episode 12 – “Possible Kill Screen”) It’s the final two episodes of one of my most beloved shows on television, The Shield. I thought it only fitting that I start out with a live-blog/chat tonight, where we fans can congregate, discuss and weep in our beers about the show’s conclusion. Earlier tonight I […]

The girl who broke Chuck’s heart back in his Stanford days, apparently dumping him because of the lies Bryce Larkin spread about him and then proceeding to bank said Larkin, is back now and ready to become his long-lost love? Didn’t that seem […]

True Blood – Someone gets strangled

(Season 1, Episode 11 – “To Love is to Bury”) “Man up, my friend. She’s not even one night old.” – Eric to Bill, on his new (and unmanageable) vampire charge, Jessica So, it sure looks like the killer is a guy! Doesn’t it? And speaking of Amy and Jason … oy! He should have […]

Heroes – Save the cheerleader comes back

(Season 3, Episode 9 – “It’s Coming”) This episode really didn’t grab me, which is what I’ve said about all the previous episodes this season. Many of my friends have already cut the cord on Heroes, but not me! I’m staying til the bitter end, dawgawnit. So they’ve returned to the original image of the […]
