Pretty people, high school angst, and face tattoos (so hot right now): Star-Crossed has all of the elements for a successful CW drama. Does it meet the mail?

Grave sites are a great place for conversation. Which is good, because there were a few of them in the finale

Sleepy Hollow chooses to go out with a decisive bang instead of a whimper for its season one finale (probably to make sure fans don’t forget about the best new 2013 show during the insanely long 8 month hiatus). Did the show succeed?

YOLO the term: super douchey. YOLO the episode: a fantastic set-up for next week’s Scandal mid-season finale. Nothing like terrorists, ruined marriages and murder to get you in the holiday mood.
