Well it’s the new year, and I have already forgotten about my resolutions, but luckily a new episode of Happy Endings is here to distract me. The first half of this season has been a little rocky for our beloved show, but if this episode is any indication of what’s to come, then we are in for a treat. So much to discuss and gush over so let’s have at! [Read more…]

Well, that’s it for Once Upon A Time. Not because I’m breaking up with the show (oh hells no), but simply because it’s reached the end of its fall run and will take a break until January 8 (according to Michael Ausiello’s scoresheet). One bonus of the show starting so late this fall is that it will have extra episodes to air in the Winter. Which is good because there will be plenty of fall-out to deal with from “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.’ Major spoilers ahead.

And that’s it folks! The fall finale of our beloved Revenge is one for the books. I’ve been waiting two weeks for Emily (Emily VanCamp) to utter the lines “You fell in love with a hooker” and it was well worth the wait! It’s like the holiday gift I never knew I wanted.

As I mentioned last week, the story that I feel the greatest emotional investment in is the story of Prince Charming and Snow White. Not only are they the most recognizable of the fairy tales, but the inversion of their more familiar tales has been entertaining, mostly unexpected and emotional. The danger with this show and its broad audience is the temptation to tell the story to the lowest margin (in this case kids), but the stories of princesses and their charming knights has a near universal appeal.
So how did the show handle its return to their most poignant storyline?

With the end of our beloved The Walking Dead until February (sob), Sunday night opens up a bit here at bitchstolemyremote. As such, let’s lighten the mood a tad with some family fare courtesy of new hit Once Upon A Time. We join our season already in progress, though admittedly the show is only getting warmed up as it continues to explore the connections between Storybrooke, Maine and its fairy tale alter ego. Up this week, resident therapist Archie Hopper (Raphael Sbarge) aka Jiminy Cricket.

Ok so let’s just get this out in the open and not dance around the subject, this week’s episode was pretty lackluster. And by lackluster I mean probably the worst of this season. Coming off of last week’s classic episode probably didn’t help, but not much worked for me this week. This episode made me go back to my first recap and how the show just wasn’t scoring high on the funny meter. And boy did this episode rate low on good jokes. [Read more…]
