On NBC’s Monday night action/comedy series CHUCK, now in its fourth season, the core team of spies consists of Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi), who still maintains his cover as an employee at the Buy More electronics store, and longtime espionage agents Sarah Walker (Yvonne Strahovski) and Col. John Casey (Adam Baldwin), with Chuck’s lifelong friend Morgan (Joshua Gomez) providing untrained backup. Last season, we learned that seeming loner Casey had once been engaged – and we learned along with Casey that relationship produced a daughter, now a young woman Alex McHugh, played by Mekenna Melvin. Alex has since learned that […]Read On »

Interview: Stana Katic storms CASTLE

On ABC’s Monday 10 PM hit CASTLE, now wrapping its third season and renewed for a fourth, Stana Katic’s NYPD detective has an affectionate if often adversarial relationship with Nathan Fillion’s writer Richard Castle. On screen, Castle uses the no-nonsense Beckett as the model for his new literary heroine Nikki Heat. In person, Canada-born actress Katic (QUANTUM OF SOLACE, THE LIBRARIAN: THE CURSE OF THE JUDAS CHALICE, THE SPIRIT) comes off as being a bit softer and more cheerful than Beckett. The actress is no less busy than her character, though, so she can’t talk for long, but here’s what […]Read On »

We’ve been given a lot of science and experiments on FRINGE but we finally have the first glimpse of fate playing a role on the show in “The Last Sam Weiss.” Olivia (Anna Torv) has a connection to the machine. Not just any connection, but a connection that will allow her to help Peter (Joshua Jackson) enter the machine to control it. And this has […]Read On »

Cast: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Jim Beaver, Amber Benson Director: John Showalter Writers: Adam Glass Network: The CW, Airs Fridays Original Telecast: April 29, 2011 “Jefferson Starships … because they are horrible and hard to kill.” – Dean (Jensen Ackles) in SUPERNATURAL “Mommy Dearest” Dean had some great one-liners in “Mommy Dearest” on SUPERNATURAL this week. One of my other favorites was when he found out Castiel (Misha Collins) didn’t have any powers he said “Without your powers, you’re like a baby in a trench coat.” Hilarious. The Jefferson Starships line refers to Dean naming the hybrid creatures […]Read On »

TV Review: SUPERNATURAL – Season 6 – “Frontierland”

Cast: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Jim Beaver Writers: Andrew Dabb, Daniel Loflin, Jackson Stewart Director: Guy Norman Bee Network: The CW, Airs Fridays Original Telecast: April 22, 2011 “You know what that is? Authenticity.” – Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) in SUPERNATURAL “Frontierland” I guess it was only a matter of time before we got an Old West version of SUPERNATURAL. Given we have had a monster movie episode, future timeline episodes, going into the ’70s and ’80s episodes and alternate universe episodes, the Old West was fair game. “Frontierland” focuses on Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) […]Read On »

TV Review: SMALLVILLE – Season 10 – “Dominion”

Starring: Tom Welling, Erica Durance, Justin Hartley, Cassidy Freeman Writer: John Chisholm Director: Justin Hartley Network: The CW, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: April 29, 2011 Sadly, SMALLVILLE’s recent winning streak of episodes as it heads to its series finale was disrupted by “Dominion.” What should have been a powerful episode, instead turns out lukewarm treading on territory we’ve seen countless times before in films like 300 and GLADIATOR. The idea is a cool one though as Clark (Tom Welling) and Oliver (Justin Hartley) travel to the Phantom Zone to find out why one of the Zoners had managed to […]Read On »

Stars: David Boreanaz, Emily Deschanel, Michaela Conlin, T.J. Thyne, Tamara Taylor, John Francis Daley, Michael Grant Terry, Iyal Podell Writer: Keith Foglesong Director: Francois Velle Network: Fox, Thursdays @ 9 PM Airdate: April 28, 2011 On BONES, our heroine Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) is known for speaking her mind. Indeed, by now, all of her friends expect this of her. However, they don’t always expect it of each other, much less themselves. “The Pinocchio in the Planter” takes a playful, in-character look at just how much honesty is a good thing vs. how much exceeds everyone’s comfort levels. The subject […]Read On »

AMERICAN IDOL recap: (Surprise) Casey Abrams is sent packing (again)

Cast: Ryan Seacrest, Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler, Randy Jackson Network: Fox, airs Wednesdays and Thursdays Original Airdate: April 28, 2011 I guess two times is not a charm on the world’s greatest karaoke competition, AMERICAN IDOL, because Casey Abrams, who was saved from elimination earlier in the season and thrived for a number of weeks, got the boot on the show in what is probably a surprise. Maybe it wasn’t a fluke the first time he got the lowest amount of votes. Maybe the IDOL voters are more fickle than I give them credit for. I thought he did pretty […]Read On »
