Bates Motel Norman’s teacher is dead, and four months later, he’s still visiting her grave, still unsure of exactly what happened that night.

Monday Suit Racks, Divorces, Cults and Tuesday Kidnappings, Candidates
It’s been a rough week – stuff came up, bad weather struck again, the tendonitis is back, and just general exhaustion. Catching up as soon as I can. Here’s Monday and Tuesday first. How I Met Your Mother Lily tries to get Robin excited/sad that this is her wedding day, but she just can’t get […]
Review: Haywire
This movie was a lot of fun. I had never seen Gina Carano before this (though I’ve seen her since in Fast and Furious 6), but she proved that she’s one to watch in the years to come. She can do badass, and actually serve up a great performance. Carano plays Mallory Kane, a former […]
Tuesday Guide Dogs, Man-Boys and Tests, Thursday MILFs and Kidnappings
Growing Up Fisher I really can’t tell you how much I loved this pilot. It has the heart, it has the comedy, and it has enough star power that I think/hope it can stick it out in the line-up. The story is sweet, a young boy, whose inner monologue is narrated by Jason Bateman (already, […]
Highlights and Recaps from the 2014 Oscars
I actually had fun watching the Oscars last night! They seem to have trimmed some of the awards that the bulk of the audience has never heard of, they kept the performances simpler, also saving time, and I don’t think anybody got played off for excessively long speeches! (If they did, it was only for […]
Tuesday Rent-Control, Wednesday Molly, Thursday Mitzvahs, Friday Guest Appearances!
Brooklyn Nine-Nine Jake’s building is going co-op, and short of a loan shark, he can’t come up with the money to buy his apartment. However, Gina may have a solution: she can buy it and rent it to him. I felt a little out of the loop on this one, because Jake and Gina apparently […]
Wednesday Odysseys, Positions and Rebranding and Thursday Policies and Old Flames
Psych THIS is the Gus I wanted to see during Psych: The Musical! The man has such a smooth voice, and I wish we had gotten to hear more of it in the musical. The times are a-changin! The chief returns just long enough to ask Juliet to go to San Francisco with her to […]
Review: Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit
Before I even get into anything, Kevin Costner stole the effing show. If you’re not prepared to handle that, maybe check out my review of Star Trek Into Darkness if you want some Chris Pine love. Also, fail on the poster. Ripping off The X Files for the tagline? For shame. The story begins with […]
Monday Cures, Hair and Pulp and Tuesday Hackers, Jedi Mind Tricks and Bars
How I Met Your Mother The gang tries to cure Barney’s hangover with his special hangover drink, but they have to figure out how to wake him up first to get the secret ingredient. The wedding pictures are soon, and while they consider running the “Weekend at Barney’s” play, Robin winds up canceling the photos. […]
Review: House of Cards Season 2
If you haven’t watched season one, there may be some spoilers here. This isn’t so much a recap as an analysis of season two, and a comparison between it and the first season. Frankly, I was a little disappointed with season two overall. The first episode of the new season was pretty hardcore, and I […]
