We’re up to the penultimate episode of The CW’s Ringer, and it’s time to tie up loose ends! ‘It’s Called Improvising, Bitch!’ wraps up all of the questions we’ve had about how and why and when Catherine Martin (Andrea Roth) put the hit out on Siobhan (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and there’s one twist that makes the whole thing sortakinda worth it!

We’re up to the first season finale on everyone’s favourite succubus show. The battle lines are drawn as mother Aoife – aka Saskia (Inga Cadranel) – puts Bo (Anna Silk) right in the middle of her plan to initiate an all out-Fae war. It’s kinda like Alias, but with superpowers!

It was another ho-hum episode on Smash this week, but it did deliver the best musical number of the entire series thus far.

We get a double dose of GCB this week with two new episodes back to back. Looks like ABC is trying to see how our show will fare in the Desperate Housewives timeslot. But before we start to think about a second season, let’s focus on these new episodes. The two big themes of the evening are sex and marriage, and in good ole’ Christian tradition, the marriage comes before the sex.

After a rousing re-introduction to the land of Westeros last week, Game Of Thrones continues to roll out a number of storylines. This second episode fleshes out several of the new players even as it continues to expand the world of the show. Rather than give a traditional recap, I think discussing the interesting (problematic?) portrayal of women in the show is the way to go this week.

This week on Fringe we go back to the ‘other side’ as Lincoln (Seth Gabel) tries to define who he is, we get the triumphant return of tight t-shirt (TTS) Broyles (Lance Reddick) and we learn a tad bit more about the human shapeshifters.

Is it too easy to point out that the writers on 30 Rock aren’t doing themselves any favours by naming an episode of an uneven season quality-wise, ‘Nothing Left to Lose’? It is? All right.
Instead, let’s hand out this week’s awards…

I have a feeling that tonight’s episode of Awake, the thought provoking series about a man living two lives, is going to be rather polarizing. I quite liked it, not only because it wasn’t afraid to ask questions, but because it illustrates that the show is cognizant of the discussions that we, as viewers, are having about the nature of Michael’s (Jason Isaacs) double life.
