The Walking Dead -2×12- Better Angels

Can I just say... dayum! Thoroughly enjoyable episode. I loved the new info (twist?) that once you die you become a zombie. Am I following that right? I loved that T-Dog had some dialogue. I loved the zombie clean out at the beginning. And most of all I loved that ending scene. Looks like an epic showdown is about to happen.

I have some questions..... Why was Carl out wandering around by himself? Again. Is Lori completely incapable of minding her child? How long before Daryl realizes where his gun is? Didn't Rick think that Daryl might want it back? What's wrong with Glen? First, he turns down Maggie's offer of her bed (and I'm assuming unlimited access to her vagina), then he almost lets Daryl get deaded out in the woods. That kid needs to pull it together.

Kinda sad to see the end of Shane but it was a long time coming. I'm going to miss his insanity. From what I hear, the Governor will be making an appearance soon enough. I never read the comics but I've heard enough to know that he will be a welcome addition.

Overall, I loved it. Looking forward to next week's finale.

Once Upon a Time (2011) -1×15- Red-Handed

I actually loved this episode, despite it being mainly a stand alone episode, at least in fairy tale land. But I loved getting the back-story of Red Riding Hood and Granny, and I totally didn't see the twist coming, even though when I think about it, the signs where there. The ending was pretty dark for this show; Red basically ate her boyfriend. That's a sucky way to go. Loved how Snow and Red met and their bond. And in modern world, I liked seeing Ruby gain confidence over herself and realize she can do more then just be a flirty waitress. Really liking the actress playing her; it helps she hot obviously (although I still prefer the Red look to the Ruby one), but I think she brings a real likability to the role. I hope she sticks around for a while.

Count me as someone who doesn't think that heart is Kathryn's; it's probably one of the ones Regina keeps around in her evil lair. Poor Mary though; being the one set-up. Regina really is an evil piece of work; hope Emma and crew prove her innocence and we can get to the battle soon.

No Gold/Rumpel made me sad, although the brief return of Dr. Whale was good. I remember reading an article with the writers where they said the problem was David Anders was busy with another show, but that he should be done with that and be available to do more episodes. I think he could be intriguing; is he just another puppet of Regina's (like Sidney), or could he be turned or end up with his own agenda? Not to mention which fairy-tale character is he? (the whale from Pinocchio? Something completely different?)

Looking forward to next week with the return of Rumpel and vengeful Snow White?!

New Girl -1×15- Injured

I really liked this episode. It wasn't the absolute funniest of the season, but it still had several moments where I laughed out loud, and I thought everyone rallying around Nick was sweet. I'm not always Nick's biggest fan - I think his cynicism and glass half empty attitude is sometimes hilarious, and sometimes annoying, but it worked for me here, probably because he was facing a health scare, and that's the kind of thing that can make anyone take stock of their life. Plus, in some respects I think Nick is kind of relatable, in the sense that he seemed to have a lot of promise at one time and then somewhere along the way he got kind of lost and has just sort of given up on life. And it's interesting to me because Winston is sort of lost in life right now, too, in that he doesn't really have a job or a career or know what he wants to do with himself post-basketball, yet Winston has a much more positive outlook on life than Nick does. I always wonder if Nick was as cynical as he is now, or if that's something that happened after he dropped out of law school.

As for this episode being aired out of order, I didn't really notice. Like the scene on the beach with Schmidt and Cece - I thought that Cece telling Schmidt about her dad was supposed to show that she's opening up to him a little bit. I could see how it could've happened prior to them hooking up, but it worked in this context for me.

I liked Winston being all torn up about his car. If you've had a car for awhile, it really does feel like a friend, someone who has been through a lot of things with you over the years.

90210 -4×17- Babes In Toyland

So... that was mediocre at best.

Annie whining for the whole episode bugged. After the way she went about trying to get "MY money" and also the escorting/prostitution, I find it hard to believe she's uncomfortable having money. In fact it's what she's wanted more then anything this season. She's been nothing but greedy about getting the inheritance and while I think it's nice that she wants to use it to do something great, I wish they'd stop with the cutesy ~i didn't plan to be rich routine. Bitch it was your main goal. It just makes her seem even faker then usual.

Dixon and Adrianna.... yeah kind of dull I'll be honest. I care so little when it comes to their music. I was disappointed that Adrianna lost her job though since it means she won't be hanging out at the bar as much.

Naomi and Jen were my favorite part. Just because I love how innocent and out of sorts Naomi is when she's with Jen. I rolled my eyes with the Preston thing though since it's obvious that it's just going to be another Naomi goes boy crazy and chases him all over the place but he'll connect with Annie on a more emotional level in the end without Annie even trying because she's such a pure human being.

Liam is an idiot and I hate this acting storyline. It's just so not in character. I didn't mind the Liam/Silver scene but I can't find a credible way for them to hook up with each other aside from the fact that they're both the shows bicycles.

Ivy... I don't care. I don't even think she should be on the show at this stage. Her storyline reeked of trying to hard to be hip and failing miserably.

Ringer -1×16- You’re Way Too Pretty To Go To Jail

There was no filler in that episode at all.

Oh, dark and creepy Ioan, it has been so long since I saw thee! So intense, so malicious looking! He seems so malicious that I don't think he is capable of murder.

Don't hurt poor beautiful Malcolm!

I'm just glad Vic had something to do this episode. He was so pretty. I know all the men are this show are, but yeah I laughed when Bridget told him about his eyes. I'm glad his secret was that he was in love with the murder victim; they had ok chemistry too.

Speaking of stripper Bridget: that was some good makeup there. Bridget looked very trashy and high. Her face even looked a bit gaunt and haggard.

Henry is indeed a doucheplanet. When he kissed Bridget, I did bite down an "ew". The character just bugs and is very ridiculous.

I felt sorry for poor, stupid Tyler. When he went all, "I did for us and the baby" and I feel even more sorry for the sap. Rest in Peace, at least you won't go to prison now. Also what is this show and its prison man-love jokes?

The Walking Dead -2×11- Judge, Jury, Executioner

Yeah, Carl. You did that. Smooth move. Seriously, I know it's the ZA, but could someone please parent this child? It takes a village, right? Somebody should be making sure this kid isn't just traipsing over zombie-filled hill and dale (too soon?).

And maybe, if I were anyone down on the farm, I might be a little concerned with Herschel's estimate of a dozen or so cattle breaking the fence. That's a pretty sizable hole, maybe someone would like to work on fixing that. Obviously, it's letting zombies in, and we know there is a whole heard of them not too far away.

I'm thoroughly peeved that Dale is dead. Say what you will about how useless an old hippie with his Tommy Bahama shirts is to the group, he was smarter than most of them.

And it was refreshing to actually see T-Dog in an episode. Were those actual lines I heard coming from him? I bet that's the last thing we hear out of him for the rest of this season, probably next season, too.

Desperate Housewives -8×15- She Needs Me

There were some very nice, heartfelt conversations in this episode. I do have some questions though:

Didn't Roy marry Karen in the first place because she had cancer?

Why was Lynette moping around during her time alone? Doesn't she have a boyfriend she can spend time with?

When will Dr. Jane find time to watch Paige?

Did it occur to Susan that Lynette doesn't have to set up a nursery in her house because she already has one? And that Lynette used to be a baby?

CreepyStalkerOrson is the only Orson I can tolerate. I don't think he was acting out of character at all, and watching Bree tell him off was one of the highlights of the season (a bad season, yes, but still). But how did only some of the photos make it to the trash bin? Did he drop some and throw them into the wastebasket at the last minute?

Once Upon a Time 1-14: "Dreamy" 2012.03.04

This one just struck me as light on actual story line. They could have a done lot more questioning. I mean did we even get Mary Margaret's reaction to Kathryn disappearing?

Not a single Henry scene. First ep ever where he never even pokes his head out. And least Lana ever.

I'd have liked to see Emma question Frederick about what he found/saw.

I was also a bit disappointed in Emma for not volunteering to sell or at least buy a few candles in support.

It just seemed like the writers were disinterested in the story lines they felt were a side story to Leroy/Grumpy/Dreamy and Astrid/Nova.

I assume Gold hates nuns because Gold hates fairies. Why he hates fairies, we don't really know. But he disliked them enough to kill one.

I'm also having to adjust to the "extended" serialized nature. Something big happens, but the true follow up of it may not happen for 2-3 episodes. It causes uneven momentum and sometimes kills the urgency of certain things.

Revenge -1×16- Scandal

I'm so glad they showed what actually happened at the end there since there is a month long break (WHAT?? Ugh!); at least we won't have to spend weeks debating what really happened.

Show, don't make me like Declan.

Jack, Jack, Jack. You witness the supposed love of your life at the very least witnessing a corpse and possibly a murder, and your response is to leave self-incriminating evidence in a place so obvious Declan can find it?

Nice to see Daniel start getting a clue.

And finally Ashley seems to be doing something other than social secretary. Good on you, Ashley, to use the nice murder of the guy you were dating as a career opportunity.

I am not certain that Nolan is telling the entire truth about his dealings with Takeda.

But on that note -- nice touch to screw up the security footage to make Daniel look even MORE guilty, although convenient touch that Daniel just happened to decide to take Emily to the beach and fight with her about going to Paris and then mope about so Tyler could confront him.

Honestly could not believe the Graysons failed to disclose Daniel's earlier little accident trouble. The attorney was absolutely right, although since the prosecution does have disclosure obligations the defense attorney might have gotten SOME warning, but, seriously, Graysons, don't lie to the defense attorney just now.

Modern Family -3×17- Leap Day

I've never been a big fan of "cycle" plots on sitcoms, and the girls definitely got the short end of the script, but I thought that Ty Burrell really sold the subplot and saved it. Every time I started to get annoyed by the cliche, there was a funny line reading that kept it going, for me anyway.

The rest of the episode had me laughing out loud, a lot. Too many to remember, but particular favorites include the jokes about the pointlessness of watching soccer, the Wizard of Oz motif including the flying monkeys (Monkees), Jay in his pink robe eating porridge with a cracker cut, Mitchell's line to the camera that Cam was upset about turning 40, and once he realized that...everything got much worse. Ha.
