This week, Finch's (Michael Emerson) secret machine spat out the social security number of a judge. It was pretty clear that this was going to be a fairly straightforward kidnap and ransom case, but there were still a few mysteries to solve along the way to keep things interesting. There was nothing particularly remarkable about the first half of the episode. Everything went along pretty much how you expected. The big mystery came when Finch and Reese (Jim Caviezel) had ...

I am usually pretty late to watching movies. I seem to always be a few years behind in watching the blockbuster films, instead opting to watch television shows. It was just a few months ago that I watched The Hangover, a film which clearly inspired this episode of PSYCH. I thought the crew did a terrific crew of paying homage to The Hangover. There are a lot of similarities between the film and this episode. I actually thought the ... Read More

As Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) furthers her siege on this tight-knit Hampton community, new characters enter the show and come into Emily’s crosshairs. I keep thinking they’re going to run out of people, but I completely understood why Emily went after the court-appointed therapist, Dr. Michelle Banks (Amy Landecker) that was paid off by Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe) to make sure Emily remained institutionalized and away from her father. I applauded the method she used to ruin the therapist. As I ... Read More

Just when you get worried about Person of Interest becoming too much like the typical “case of the week” police drama, the show comes up with a creative twist to keep things interesting. Like most viewers, I thought the doctor was going to be your standard damsel in distress, but that’s not where they went with it and I was pleasantly surprised by the course the story took. Early on in the episode, we got to learn a little bit about Finch ... Read More

Regular Chuck fans are well aware of the story about Mary Bartowski (Linda Hamilton). The double agent has had to join Alexi Volkoff’s (Timothy Dalton) network of baddies in order to bring it down. The speed of Mary’s success isn’t exactly something to be impressed by, however. She’s had twenty years and Volkoff Industries seems to be doing as well as ever. After letting her intentions be known to General Beckman (Bonita Friedericy), Sarah Walker (Yvonne Strahovski) has ... Read More

When you think of big episodes, this episode has to be one of those that comes to mind. "Chuck Versus the Leftovers" was chock full of surprises. I wasn’t expecting Alexi Volkoff (Timothy Dalton) and Mary Bartowski (Linda Hamilton) to make another appearance so soon after their previous one. Anytime the writers try to bring some sense of normalcy in the Buy More, I smile. The talk about Black Friday was actually disappointing because all it was was talk. ... Read More

After seeing the Belgian (Richard Chamberlain) take off with Chuck (Zachary Levi), I knew what was about to come – a wild and crazed Sarah Walker (Yvonne Strahovski)) hell-bent on getting her boyfriend back. The execution proved good, but I didn’t care for the Belgian storyline. Richard Chamberlain played the typical cookie-cutter villain in a spy film. I had really hoped for something a little different, a little more impressive. Watching Morgan (Joshua Gomez) and Casey (Adam Baldwin) bargain with ... Read More

Every once in a while we’re introduced to Virginia’s (Martha Plimpton) other family members and they all seem to be interesting. They're all quirky in their own way. Amy Sedaris was the perfect person to play Virginia’s stuck-up one-upper of a cousin, Delilah. Amy Sedaris is an actual comic so she looked completely comfortable in the role. After seeing how awful Delilah could be, I was a little worried about how far Virginia was going to go. Taking photos ... Read More

Did you know that Burt (Garret Dillahunt) was once kidnapped by a long-haired hippie? That was one of the craziest stories ever spun by Raising Hope. First Burt was kidnapped and then he wasn’t. It was a strange, but hysterical turn of events that took us places I never thought we’d go. I want to first thank the writers for once again for the way they write the Sabrina (Shannon Woodward) character. It’s amazing how she’s basically another member of ... Read More

Unfortunately, I do still have some episodes to finish reviewing from last season, but I wanted to get right into this one and it was pretty fun. I was really disappointed when USA announced they were postponing PSYCH's season debut by a few months so that their other programming an earlier debut. The wait was worth it. After sneaking into British Consulate Residence in Santa Barbara to get a Darth Vader action figure for a kid who had lent it to ... Read More
