THE ORIGINALS is back! While I wasn’t completely blown away by this episode as a whole, there were some fantastic moments and that ending, wow that ending. How The Originals writers continue to blindside the audience I will never understand. I’ve read numerous interviews with the cast and producers during the hiatus and everyone was asked about Dahlia, who everyone thought would be the big bad the second half of the season. And while Dahlia may still be the one to watch out for, she was not the one we were introduced to, that would be Freya! [Read more…]

GLEE Recap: Jagged Little Tapestry
Glee seems like it is back to its old goodness again. These first few episodes have felt like we have the old Glee back. This episode took on Carole King and Alanis Morissette. The mash-ups were pretty great and while I felt that eventually they all started to sound to the same, Glee made it seem like King and Morissette should have always been mashed up. The only thing I wished we had gotten this episode was more information about and getting to know the new kids more. Hopefully, that will happen in the episodes to come. Anyways, let’s dig in!

AMERICAN IDOL Season 14 Recap: We Continue to Rank the Best and Worst Auditions!
After two weeks of milquetoast forced judge chemistry and punch-bag smiling clowns praising every performance, we were hoping to get a dose of venom, excitement or at least something different with Adam Lambert in as guest judges. The results though were…mixed.
Adam was actually something of a non-presences at the judges’ table. His interaction was at a minimum with either the contestants or the other judges as he pretty much waited his turn to chime in and then delivered pretty bland critiques of each contestant. Give me something, Adam!
Yes, there was a montage of him becoming A–hole Adam as they showed him send a few tone deaf singers on their merry way with some pretty weak dismissals. I wasn’t expecting that to be the bet he could do.
We also got a redux of his original audition that made for…a moment. Not much of a moment, but a moment nonetheless.
At least the clip of his original audition reminded us that Simon used to be on the show. Bring him back! [Read more…]
