Brooklyn Nine-Nine Jake is still trying to prove he is a line work and can solve cases all by himself, but the captain knows he’s better as a part of a team. His efforts are hampered by “the vulture” (Dean Winters, aka Johnny Gavin from Rescue Me and the embodiment of Mayhem in the Allstate […]

Tuesday Tech, Debt, Hangovers, and Car Crashes
Agents of SHIELD The tech in this one is kind of insane: implanted in (or in place of? wasn’t clear on that) an eyeball, it not only creates clear vision out that eye, but allows a third party to see everything that person sees. Oh, and it can kill the person wearing it if they […]
Monday Wedding Gifts, Cappuccinos and Old English
How I Met Your Mother While Barney frets over whether his loyalty should be to Robin or his family, Marshall, Ted and Lily work out a years-old wedding gift debate. Marshall and Lily are under the impression that Ted never got them a wedding gift, though they’ve been dropping hints that he forgot about it […]
Cancellations and Wednesday Recaps: MEs, Smokers, Telepaths and Cheaters
FIRST, News: We Are Men has been cancelled. I’m sad to hear it, but it really was in a shitty timeslot. I think if it had another lead-in, it might have been on better legs, but alas, no such luck. I’m sorry to see it go, as it is the first on my roster to […]
Monday Spellbooks and Tuesday Origins, C#@k-blocking, Teens and Firestarters
Sleepy Hollow This episode is two-fold: the first part of it has to do with Abby catching up with her sister Jenny who has escaped from her institution, and the second part has to do with Abby Jenny and Crane figuring out the next part of the apocalypse puzzle. Crane and Jenny are really getting […]
Monday/Tuesday Catch-ups! Dreams, Two-timers, Selfies, and Arsonists
Sorry the Tuesday recaps got delayed. I had to do some errands after work on Tuesday and then some real work when I got home, and then my tendonitis was bothering me when it came time to write, so I had to hold off. But, lucky you, I now had time to get Monday’s recaps […]
Monday and Tuesday Recaps: Horsemen, Criminals, Pot-Offs, and Taggers
Sleepy Hollow How do we make Sleepy Hollow even more like The X Files? Why, Abby was bound for Quantico! Of course! I thought I’d mention that because I’m having fun comparing these things to shows I know and love. This episode was actually quite an improvement over the first. It looks like there will […]
SHIELD Explodes onto Tuesday Night and Some Other Stuff, Too
Agents of SHIELD May I just say, well done, sir. Well done. They really knocked this one out of the park. It was so nice to see so many familiar faces–J. August Richards (Angel), Ron Glass (Firefly), and a few other names in the behind-the-scenes credits, not to mention the main man, back from the […]
IT’S HERE! A Look Ahead at Fall Premiere Week
I didn’t watch the Emmys last night. Originally I had plans to attend a concert festival yesterday, but I wasn’t feeling up to the crowds so I stayed home and watched the season finales of Dexter, Ray Donovan, and Devious Maids (one of these things is not like the others…). I don’t want to recap […]
Love and Apocalypses: Sunday-Monday Finales and Premieres
FYI: you should be way proud of me for putting this thing together. I’ve been suffering through forearm/elbow tendonitis for the past few weeks, and I typed this entire post instead of dictating it. My fingers hurt, but I did it. You’re welcome. The Newsroom-Finale I think this may have been the best season of […]
