You can tell that the pumpkin month is upon us because of the proliferation of scary content debuting on our television screens. This week alone we’ve got the return of two high profile series: AMC’s The Walking Dead (Sunday, 10pm) and FX’s American Horror Story (Wednesday, 10pm). [Read more…]
We’ve played in the sun. We’ve taken vacations. We took in some conferences, some film festivals and we’ve watched some marvelous summer TV.
But let’s get serious because the fall is upon us. The glorious, beautiful fall television season.

If our emotional response to television shows is directly proportional to our investment in it, then Lost Girl has long had me wrapped around its little finger. And while this may help to explain why I love it so much, it also means that I’m much more let down when it makes a misstep. And then there are the events of ‘Truth And Consequences’: an episode that makes such an atrociously terrible narrative decision that I literally cussed out my television.
