I’ve waited 3 days to write this post to make sure that if you’re reading this, you’ve already watched Scandal’s season 2 finale. But, if you still haven’t, then stop before the first heading. However, whether you’ve watched it or not, know that I thought that what was good was excellent, what was bad was terrible, and that I’m left with some questions. The Good 1. Nothing can tear Olivia Pope and Fitzgerald Grant apart, not the fact that she had sex with Jake, nor the fact that he killed Verna. How refreshing that the writers did not have Fitz reject Olivia in a jealous, drunken fit. After all she...
Revenge: [My] 10 Truths About Truth
I’ve been saying tweeting it, that Truth had to be about Emily telling Jack that she’s the real Amanda Clarke. That this was the only way to get the show back on track after a dismal second season. Well, told him she did and, as I also predicted, she told him at the very end of...
What Ever Happened To Revenge?
What ever happened to Revenge? I was hoping that the death of fake Amanda Clarke would get the show back on track. But I guess it’s not to be. There are so many things that are wrong with the show in Season 2 that I really don’t know where to begin, but I’ll make an...
I Love Binge-Watching Except The Term
Last night I watched the 3 most recent episodes of The Good Wife one after the other. This is a show which is particularly suited to binge watching due to its slow pace, wealth of detail and nuance. Only by watching several episodes at a time you can get a sense of satisfaction akin to eating...
SCT: A Casting Call For TV Casting Directors
I’ve always thought that one of the most important jobs in the entertainment industry is that of the casting director. We experience magic when an actor is perfectly matched to a role (think Daniel Day Lewis in Lincoln). The nature of the film industry and its final product, the movie,...
Scandal: Addictive But Flawed
Unlike Revenge, which is getting more ridiculous by the episode with the whole story arc about “The Initiative,” Scandal continues to hook me week after week. I’m not quite sure what makes this show so watchable. Is it that for once it’s not about doctors, or that...
Down On Downton Abbey
Yes, this post has a HUGE spoiler that you may or may not already know about. But whatever the case may be, read on at your own risk. Last night was the Season 3 premiere of Downton Abbey. I’ve been holding my breath (not literally, of course) waiting for it all these months, but...
Private Practice Season 4 & My 4 Observations So Far
I’m on a Private Practice watching marathon. I started a couple of days after the election. Why? After so much electoral stress, I needed a juicy relationship drama. Also, I can’t stand waiting a whole week for the next episode of each of the TV series that I’m...
CNN Is Fox News Lite
I understand why CNN is losing ratings. I already said that I feel that CNN has become Fox News Lite in my post on the VP debate, but I decided to dig a bit deeper into the subject and I think I’m on to something. You can’t position yourself as a neutral news source and then...
Gossip Girl: From Guilty Pleasure To Shameful Secret
Even as I’m typing these words, I am still hesitating whether or not to click on “Publish,” when I’m done writing this post. You see, I write a lot about politics, which is a serious subject—even when I’m talking about today’s GOP—since they are...
