Well, that’s it for Once Upon A Time. Not because I’m breaking up with the show (oh hells no), but simply because it’s reached the end of its fall run and will take a break until January 8 (according to Michael Ausiello’s scoresheet). One bonus of the show starting so late this fall is that it will have extra episodes to air in the Winter. Which is good because there will be plenty of fall-out to deal with from “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.’ Major spoilers ahead.

I was initially skeptical of ‘The I of the Storm,’ the third episode of Justified‘s second season. It seemed as though things were going to play out like just another stand-alone episode with the Bennett family nowhere in sight. And then somewhere between the hijacking of the bus full of Oxycontin and Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins) driving down the road with a man hanging out of his truck, I realized that this episode had caught me completely by surprise. This was one of those episodes that starts off so-so but is secretly laying groundwork for future conflict.

And that’s it folks! The fall finale of our beloved Revenge is one for the books. I’ve been waiting two weeks for Emily (Emily VanCamp) to utter the lines “You fell in love with a hooker” and it was well worth the wait! It’s like the holiday gift I never knew I wanted.

With the third season of FX’s critically acclaimed series Justified prepping to launch in January, bitchstolemyremote is marathoning season two to catch up. I finished season one last week, itching to find out what would happen next in the ongoing sibling-rivalry-esque battle between US Deputy Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) and his childhood friend turned criminal Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins).

As we inch closer to the season finale of arguably the best show on television this fall, Homeland slows down to do some final character work and ramp up the tension in a few key scenes. We’re no close to finding Tom Walker (Chris Chalk), but there were nevertheless big developments for both Carrie (Claire Danes) and Brody (Damian Lewis) in ‘Representative Brody.’
