We are counting down to the season finale. After tonight, that’s three episodes in a row, including the finale. And we’ve been promised answers before the end of the season for some of the biggest questions haunting us. We didn’t get them tonight, but boy are things in a tangle. Just when I think it can’t get any worse, it does.Read More »Once Upon a Time 2-19: Lacey
Yes, they did air last night’s Castle. I wondered if they might not to cover things in Boston, but they probably figured that those who wanted to know the latest could turn to the all news stations and the rest of us would like a break from the coverage. Something light and fluffy – like a murder. Personally, I welcomed the break, and it was just what the doctor ordered.Read More »Castle 5-20: The Fast and the Furriest
Castle hit a milestone last night – episode 100. And they did it in grand style. It was a classic fun episode, and everyone got at least one scene. Yes, there was a mystery, but they had lots of fun doing it.
They also took on Hitchcock’s Rear Window. Not the first time they’ve borrowed the plot of a movie, even Hitchcock, but I think this might have been the most fun they’ve had doing it. And I always love the fact that they acknowledge the source when they are stealing something like that.
The episode opens with two security guards who spot a murder taking place on a video feed outside their building. One rushes out there and finds the body stuffed in a dumpster.Read More »Castle 5-19: The Lives of Others
So last night it was Ryan’s turn for a spotlight episode. And I knew from the previews this would be a more suspenseful one. Once again, Laney got a scene, but other than that, the only main characters we saw were the Core Four (Castle, Beckett, Esposito, and Ryan).
The episode opens in a bakery. We pan across until we find the body of Jimmy the Baker face down in a vat of melted chocolate.Read More »Castle 5-18: The Wild Rover
I’m going to have to do things a bit differently with tonight’s recap. There’s a reveal part way through that I just can’t explain any other way than to slip the flashback in the middle of the recap. It colors too much of what happens in the episode to understand it any other way.
So let’s start in Storybrooke, shall we?Read More »Once Upon a Time 2-18: Selfless, Brave, and True
Among the traditional annual episodes Castle does, one of them is a horror spoof. And every year, Castle thinks whatever they are investigating is real while Beckett looks for the logical explanation. You’d think Castle would get tired of being wrong, and I’d get tired of the same jokes. And yet, I found myself laughing at the episode all over again last night.
The episode starts with a freaked out woman. She calls 911 and says she is in danger. “It” is coming for her. And sure enough, while she is on the phone, the power goes out at her place and she dies.Read More »Castle 5-17: Scared to Death
ABC is out with its latest entry into the world of reality TV tonight. Splash promises the requisite moments of angst and embarrassment we ask from shows like this, but with a spin that is admittedly unique.
After weeks of training with professional divers and being mentored by the world’s most decorated and medaled diving legend, Greg Louganis, five of the 10 celebrity contestants will face their fears as they flip, twist and spin into the depths of the pool below. The two with the lowest scores will go head to head in a dive-off to determine who will be the first contestant sent home, on the series premiere of “Splash,” TUESDAY, MARCH 19 (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET).
The following week, the remaining five celebrity contestants will compete and showcase their daring dives.

Welcome to Storybrooke. It sounds like some kind of recap episode. But it was tonight’s all new episode of Once Upon a Time. And it actually made sense when you figured out what was happening.
For once, we never left Storybrooke. We still had a flashback, but it took place in 1983, when the town was created.Read More »Once Upon a Time 2-17: Welcome to Storybrooke
