The Vampire Diaries Season 2 Ep 4 : Memory Lane
I love this show. It never lets up. Katherine was the best thing about this episode. She is seriously bad-ass. I like that she is not just crazy evil. She is extremely layered and you can see how GOOD she is in manipulating people, even 145+ years old vampires who KNOW her treachery (as I think that is what she is doing with Stefan). Katherine being immune to vervain because she kept drinking it to become used to it so she never ever got taken by surprise? Hardcore. It is such little details that make her so scary. She feels almost invincible as she HAS done her best to become invincible... Which in turn makes one wonder who/what it is she was trying to run away from by faking her own death, for what/whoever got Katherine scared must be really really scary
Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Episode 9 Of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes
Agent Nick Fury takes center stage in the new micro-ep of the series. Nick Fury faces off against the Sandman Enjoy
Undercovers Season 1 Ep 2 : Instructions
This was definitely better than the pilot (which I really liked, too). I loved the hints that Steven's past is really murky. I love Leo, but it's not so much that I find him more entertaining that the other characters in and of himself. It's more that I think this show works better when it slips into ensemble mode. Leo/Sam/Steven is fun. Sam/Steven/sycophanitc sidekick whose name I'm blanking on are fun. Sam/spy director/Steven are fun. I think the leads do a fine job of holding up the show, but it's at its best when there are more people on the screen.
Modern Family Season 2 Ep 2 : The Kiss
Perfect episode, perfect handling of the kiss situation. Funny and full of heart, and I love that the actual kiss was not in the forefront; I teared up when Jay put Manny to bed, kissed his hand, then put his hand on Manny's face. Even now I'm tearing up thinking about it.

Glee Season 2 Ep 2 : Brittany/Britney
Heather Morris is fucking awesome. I bow before her. More Brittany S. Pierce Please.
Loved snarky Santana's one liners as always.. I just love this character and I enjoyed that she brought the HBIC personality when needed yet also defended Brittany from Kurt's comments. She rocked the MATM video (her fake boobage was MIA by the way during that) and the runs at the end of Toxic. More please!
New Music : Faith Evans Feat Keyshia Cole : Can't Stay Away
Another track has surfaced from Faith's upcoming album Something About Faith. This track features songtress Keyshia Cole.

The newest Micro-Ep picks up right where the events of The Coming Of The Hulk left off with our green man facing off against Absorbing Man , and fighting General Ross's Hulkbusters.
Gossip Girl Season 4 Ep 3 : The Undergraduates
I loved this episode. Serena and Blair have always been the heart of this show and they were front and center tonight.
90210 Season 3 Ep 3 : 2021 Vision
Naomi is really rocking and Silver too. I was actually on the edge of my seat when Molesto-Teacher tried to roofie her. We all knew Naomi would OD on the pain pills but I felt so terrible and lonely for her, alone with her demons in her huge mansion.

Dexter Season 5 Ep 1 : My Bad
Wow ... this was a really wrenching episode. Very tough to watch. Interested to see where they take this season. Hopefully we get some of the Dexter humor back!

Desperate Housewives Season 7 Ep 1 : Remember Paul
That was surprisingly decent.
Renee is a watered down Wilhelmina, but she has nice chemistry with Lynette. Every time Lynette pointed out that she has five kids now, I kept waiting for her to remember that she's supposed to have six.
Paul/Felicia was so much better than Lynette/Renee. Probably because we've actually seen the former pair's history.
I couldn't be happier that Gablos has the baby switch story. Finally, they get a meaty story that's going to last more than two episodes. I like that they addressed clean-shaven Carlos, but I was hoping that Gaby would take one look and say, "WTF did you do?"
The less said about Susan, the better.
Bree tried to divorce Orson twice, and now she's upset because he's divorcing her? Whatever, at least he's gone.

It's Always Sunny Season 6 Ep 2: Dennis Get Divorced
Not a classic, but still a solid ep thanks to Charlie's uncle just killing every single line.
Given the horrific fates of those who usually interact with the gang I think the Ponderosas actually got off VERY easy and really ended up "winning" for the most part. That being said, I'm really hoping Dee's baby isn't a result of the Ponderosa thing. I've seen enough of them.
Everything I have a pair of is crossed still hoping that Charlie somehow ends up being the father of Dee's baby.
Community Season 2 Ep1: Anthropology 101
Loved, loved, loved the A Different World inspired opening.
That was a pretty tight episode overall. I'm a little over the Betty White thing at this point (overexposed much?), but I didn't feel like she was being shoved in my face in a "LOOK HOW AWESOME BETTY WHITE IS!!!!" sort of way like she has been all over the place lately. So it's all good. Loved the rap with singing "Africa" at the end.

The Vampire Diaries Season 2 Ep 3: Bad Moon Rising
What a great episode. Finally this werewolf thing is moving somewhere! And I'm calling it now - it may be the Winter break, it may be the season finale but I'm laying bets that Caroline, Damon, or Stefan WILL be bitten by a werewolf at some point. I've watched too many shows not to know an anvil when I see it.
Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes Second Micro-Episode with The Incredible Hulk

Coming Soon : All Star Superman
Mtv has released the first glimpse at DC's Animated next feature All Star Superman. The movie is based on what is considered one of the greatest Superman stories ever told written by the great Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely.
"All-Star" is the 10th DC Comics story line to be turned into an original PG-13 movie by Warner Premiere, DC Entertainment, Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Home Video. The comic mini-series has won three Eisner Awards, two Harvey Awards and three Eagle Awards. Written by Grant Morrison and drawn by Frank Quitely, the story begins with the Man of Steel (Denton) oversaturated by radiation during a rescue mission near the sun, accelerating the degeneration of his cells. Knowing that he has a limited time before he dies, Superman sets out on a journey that sees him revealing his secret to Lois Lane (Hendricks), giving Lex Luthor (LaPaglia) an epiphany on humanity and ensuring the safety of Earth for when he is gone. . . .
Bruce Timm is exec producing, and Sam Liu, who helmed the DC animated film "Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths," is directing. Dwayne McDuffie, a comics scribe who also penned "Crisis on Two Earths," wrote the script.
Modern Family Season 2 Ep 1: The Old Wagon
Oh man. I knew I'd missed this show, but I had no idea just how much.
"Good times, she wrote", "in cahoots", "Vietnam", and Mitchell vs Bird II...loved all of it.
Welcome back, Modern Family.
Undercovers Season 1 Ep 1 Pilot
This was nice and light and funny. Very Hart.to Hart meets I Spy. The leads are pretty and Hoyt & his mancrush was hilarious. I will definitely be back.

Glee Season 2 Ep 1 : The Audition
Not a great season premiere in my opinion. There were things I liked, and the new characters seem fine, but it just didn't get me very excited and make me want to watch it over and over, which is my response to really good Gleeepisodes.
Brittany and Santana were made of pure win. Best line of the episode: Brittany in the background of the catfight saying "Stop the violence and Brittany hugging that doll on her way out. Heather Morris really knows how to sneak in those little moments.
Santana and Quinn's fight was pretty epic. Great work you two.
Next weeks episode looks awesome!

New Music : Mark Ronsin Feat D'Angelo Glass Mountain Trust
Rumored to be working together on a new D'Angelo record , Hit producer Mark Ronsin has snagged the singer for a cut on his upcoming album entitled Record Collections. If this song is any indication of the magic these two can come up with then I'm very excited for that new D'Angelo album.

Gossip Girl Season 2 Ep 2 : Double Identity
Overall, great episode. Safe to say Season 4 is starting a little bit like Season 2 started (ie. very good).
New Music : Sushine Anderson Lie To Kick It
90210 Season 3 Ep 2 Age of Inheritance
Naomi is really the best character on this show (next to Navid). No matter how over the top she is, AnnaLynne really sells her as messed up yet compelling.

New Music: Rihanna Who's That Chick
Well looks like someone's mistake is another's gain. Out of nowhere a new Rihanna single and video appeared entitled Who's That Chick. The song is a cute catchy fun pop concoction but I'm glad this isn't going to be a second single, I know Rih can do better than this.
It's Alkways Sunny Season 6 Ep 1 Mac Fights Gay Marriage
Great start to the season! Dennis and his lack of feelings was the funniest thing about this episode to me, but I loved it all. I always enjoy it when Mac gets to be the crazy one; he's just so stupidly earnest.
Dee's reaction to seeing Bill Ponderosa cracked me up. "Take care of yourself...or whatever people say."

The Vampire Diaries Season 2 Ep 2 Brave New World
Another excellent episode. Caroline's transformation was terrifying and heartbreaking all at once. Poor baby. I hadn't thought much of Candice Accola's acting so far, but she did a superb job illustrating Caroline's fear, disgust, grief, and acceptance with little more than the look on her face. Girl has damn expressive eyes. Everything Caroline was thinking or feeling was summed up in those trembling, terrified eyes.
First Look: Voltron Concept Art
Voltron Defender Of The Universe, the latest in a long line of 80s cartoons being developed for the big screen has been talked about for years but now it looks like those talks are transpiring into something more. This morning the good folks at Joblo.Com unveiled some concept art for a possible Voltron movie. The movie is being shopped around to different studios and writers Thomas Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer are helming the script. These names might be foreign but they are writing the current Conan movie along with Dr Strange and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.

Coming Soon: The Fighter
The Fighter is a true story based on Irish boxer Micky Ward and his brother Dicky. The film directed by David O Russell stars Mark Walhberg, Christian Bale, Amy Adams, and Melissa Leo. The trailer does an amazing job of capturing the spirit and tone of the film, and with a top notch cast I'm betting it will garner a good amount of Oscar buzz
The Fighter opens in theaters December 5th
