I’ve mentioned a few times how challenging Game Of Thrones can be to recap. There’s often an urge to try and find an overarching theme that unifies the episode and inevitably everyone seems to identify a different one. There’s also the frequent danger of lapsing into a basic point by point breakdown of the episode, which can make for some pretty dry reading. With that in mind, let’s tackle this week’s episode.

Now that is what I`m talking about. After complaining that the show has twiddled its narrative thumbs for the better part of its first season, Once Upon A Time takes a quantum leap forward and lays all of its cards on the table.

It’s finale time on Fringe! It’s time to find out if Astrid (Jasika Nicole) survives her gunshot wound, if September’s (Michael Cerveris) prophecy about Olivia’s death comes true and get some resolution to William Bell’s (Leonard Nimoy) and David Robert Jones’ (Jared Harris) plot to destroy the two universes and create a new world of their own.

Well this is bittersweet. Literally half way through the episode, I received word from TVAngie that NBC had cancelled Awake (awkward!). It’s especially disappointing considering that ‘Say Hello To My Little Friend’ is easily one of the best episodes the series has produced thus far.

It’s like a high school reunion! With only a few episodes before the big finale, Revenge goes into flashback mode to 2002 and the start of Emily’s (Emily VanCamp) quest for REVENGE. The real fun, however, is seeing everyone she screwed over back in the game.

With only one more episode left in the season, Smash manages to get through some significant plot points in its penultimate episode. Unfortunately, many of them are predictable, but true to Smash form, some stronger moments manage to balance it all out.

Let’s take a closer look after the jump: [Read more…]
