"Rizzoli & Isles" Returns for Season 3 Tonight on TNT

By Jamie Ruby

Rizzoli & IslesTonight Rizzoli & Isles returns to TNT for its third season. The episode picks up where the season finale left off with Jane (Angie Harmon) having shot Maura's (Sasha Alexander) biological father and head of the Irish mob, Paddy Doyle (John Doman), who showed up unexpectedly. He was only trying to protect his daughter, but things got out of hand when he shot the suspect and Agent Dean (Billy Burke), and Jane was forced to shoot Paddy.

Touch 1.12/1.13: "Gyre"

By John Keegan

touch_tv_show_icon"Touch" has always been a show with potential. It could have been something very interesting. Instead, it quickly became apparent that Tim Kring was using this show to promote a lazy brand of spiritualism that predicates itself on the human tendency to find patterns in the noise. All too often, the writers force connections to imply that there is a grander scheme of things, and it shows. This season finale is no different.

Mad Men 5.11 Review: "The Other Woman"

By John Keegan and Henry Tran

mad_menIt's all glitz and glamour until someone brings something distasteful up to the surface. When that happens, it has a way of rotting whatever gets in the way. All throughout this episode, I felt as if the walls of Jericho were falling all around the characters. The firm is not flush with money so they have to fight tooth-and-nail for any account they can get their hands on. They do try, befitting what Don said in his speech to rally the troops in the previous episode, but there are costs to getting that golden goose.

Game of Thrones 2.9 Review: "Blackwater"

By John Keegan and Gregg Wright

Game_of_Thrones_icon"The episode has dramatically exceeded our expectations," said series showrunner David Benioff in an interview with Entertainment Weekly recently. Instead of going with their original plan to frame the entire Battle of the Blackwater from the perspective of Cersei and Sansa, David Benioff and D. B. Weiss made the case to HBO that they just HAD to show that battle, and they'd need more money to do it. Surprisingly, HBO agreed to raise the budget significantly. I knew all of this before the episode had aired, and I'd been unable to keep myself from watching the promo, but none of this prepared me for what I was about to experience. This was TV history in the making.

Awake 1.13 Review: "Turtles All the Way Down"

By John Keegan and Henry Tran

awakereviewiconThe final episode of Awake didn't answer the bulk of the questions I had coming into it, least of all which world depicted throughout the season was the "real" world, but the last section presents a neat open-ended befitting of the series. It gives rise to more questions that the series unfortunately will not have the chance to answer. What we got in these thirteen episodes that varied somewhat in quality was sometimes a meditation on what it's like to mourn the loss of a loved one and also a standard police procedural.

"Awake:" The Finale Will Blow Your Mind

By Jamie Ruby

AwakeNot since Lost has a show taken me on a journey that made me question the story at every turn. The complexity of Awake is one of the best parts of the show, in my opinion. Through the whole season I was guessing and making theories about what was really going on; which reality was real, if any. At the end of the journey I'm still left with questions, though surprisingly still quite satisfied at the end.

Person of Interest 1.23 Review: "Firewall"

By John Keegan and Edmund Boys

person_of_interest_icon"Person of Interest" brings its freshman season to a close with another stellar episode. And it did it by taking its established formula and layering in the onging elements it's been building all season. Rather that a special event finale, it becomes an enhanced episode that ramps up the tension to a fever pitch. While some questions are answered, some plot threads are closed, it all drives to a conclusion that was both satisfying and leaves you begging for more. It's going to be a long summer waiting to hear the other side of that phone call.

The Borgias 2.7 Review: "The Siege at Forli"

By John Keegan

borgias_iconJuan Borgia returns from Spain with a rather distracting problem, while Lucrezia rebels against her role as a political pawn. Oh, and Savonarola continues to gain influence in Florence, as he inspires one of the more infamous "bonfires of the vanities". Not to mention the titular siege at Forli, which does not go as planned!

Mad Men 5.10 Review: "Christmas Waltz"

By John Keegan and Henry Tran

mad_menSterling Cooper Draper Pryce is an advertising firm. So we know from the outset that they deal in popular consumerism. They try their hardest to make money off of what people desire. Only, the people who work at the firm aren't getting what they desire the most. The most obvious example of this mindset has been Pete throughout the season, but he has a small role in this episode. No, the unfulfilled desire comes from other places and other characters, including one, Paul Kinsey, who hasn't been seen in two seasons. This causes plenty of frustration, which is only beginning to bubble to the surface in some cases while bursting at the seams in others. It has been a really dark season so far (even by "Mad Men" standards) and I don't think this is the last we're going to see of it.

Eureka 5.6 Review: "Worst Case Scenario"

By John Keegan and Gregg Wright

eurekasigniconThis season has been a little more up and down in quality than I expected it to be, but I still think that the recent hiccups are going to be the exceptions to the rule. "Worse Case Scenario" may be a bit of an average installment, but it's loaded with the typical "Eureka" fun, and also offers up some satisfying developments in the myth-arc department. The season is still lacking a clear sense of direction, and is mostly concerned with continuing to deal with the fallout from the Matrix incident, but considering the usual length of "Eureka" seasons, we're still fairly early into this one.
