And there it is, folks: the Awkward. I’ve been waiting for since it began its sophomore run. In its first season, the show was smart, flirty and maybe even a little dirty, but the second season made it seem like a bit of a fluke. And then sex came back into the picture and Awkward. suddenly found its way again.

After last week’s dance of rage, Sasha (Julia Goldani Telles) seems to be spiraling down the evil rabbit hole, to no one’s amusement. Meanwhile, Michelle (Sutton Foster) is finally teaching, but the sense of purpose we thought she would get from it is nowhere to be found. Well played, ASP. What we do get is an episode where relationships are tested and Fanny’s (Kelly Bishop) presence is sorely missed.

It’s time to examine the ramifications of last week’s cray-cray episode when Lydia (Holland Roden) brought Peter Hale (Ian Bohen) back to life. All of the sudden the number of potential bad-guys has increased dramatically. What does this mean for Scott (Tyler Posey) and the Teen Wolf version of the Scooby gang?

We’re back in business this week on Breaking Bad as Walt (Bryan Cranston) continues further into his depths of depravity. Even with every base seemingly covered, why does this new cook operation feel like it’s going to implode at any moment?

With its eighth episode, True Blood reaches the 2/3 mark for the season. Unlike last season, however, the vamp drama shows no signs of coalescing its many, many storylines into something cohesive as we continue to balance roughly a gillion plots and characters.

Compared to the films I’ve seen at Fantasia Film Festival, the performance film Play Dead is an altogether different beast. Funny, engaging and made to make a viewing audience both squirm and yearn – it’s unlike anything I’ve seen at the festival before.
