Supernatural 8.14 Review: “Trial and Error”
By John Keegan
After the gloriousness of the previous episode, which was Ben Edlund hitting all cylinders, I suppose it makes sense that this would be a bit of a letdown. After all, a lot of the excitement that came out of the previous episode was the potential for the future, especially with the announcement that “Supernatural” was going to get a ninth season! So a bit of a backslide into the demon tablet plot thread was naturally going to feel like a step back.

By John Keegan
For the past few episodes, many fans have felt that the strongest elements of the story were related to Oliver’s flashbacks to his time on the island. Perhaps the writers were well aware of how things were progressing, because this episode feels like a culmination of that process. Oliver has been in a less effective mode since his encounter with Merlyn and Vertigo, and there have been some major developments in his worldview. It makes sense, then, that this latest wound would divert his unconscious mind to a pivotal moment on the island.

By John Keegan and Paul Pearson
It was always a bit of a mystery what kind of episode “The Walking Dead” would return with. Another big plot-driven episode like the mid-season finale? Something more intimate and emotional? Expectations were high, and maybe that’s the problem with “The Suicide King”, because it doesn’t hit any truly big notes. Most of the running time is spent getting us reacquainted with the post-apocalypse, with only a few token hints towards what kind of storytelling we might get in the future.

By Jamie Ruby
Femme Fatales: The Complete First Season
The Cinemax adult series Femme Fatales blends film noir, erotica, and variety of other genres. Each episode gives you something different.
Season one is full of mostly standalone episodes, with the exception of two two-parters, one being the season finale. The overall theme of the show seems to be revenge by women who have been done wrong. Each episode opens with Tanit Phoenix as Lilith (sometimes after the opening teaser), sort of reminiscent of Tales from the Crypt, talking about what's to come during the episode.

New Season of Touch Is a "Thrill Ride"
By Karen Moul
Touch is back this week after a nine-month hiatus, with a new location and an expanded cast. The two-hour season premiere introduced several new characters played by Maria Bello, Lukas Haas, and Said Taghmaoui.
Fans will also notice a tweaked format. The show is stepping away from a procedural, mystery-of-the-week style and moving towards a more serialized approach. Series creator Tim Kring says that shift is deliberate.

Kevin Bacon Stars in "The Following"
By Jamie Ruby
If you watch movies, it's a pretty good bet you know who Kevin Bacon is. Bacon has appeared in numerous projects over the years, such as Footloose, Tremors, Mystic River, and many more. Bacon is mostly known for his work in film, but he returns to the small screen as the star of the new Fox series The Following, which recently premiered on Fox.
In the new series, Bacon plays Ryan Hardy, a retired FBI Agent, known for putting away serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy). He is called back to duty when Carroll escapes from prison. Hardy discovers whether in prison or out, Carroll has many followers and the number is rising.

Jesse Metcalfe Forecasts "A Darker Side of Christopher"
By Karen Moul
As Dallas’ second season takes off, Jesse Metcalfe made time to speak with us about his character, Christopher Ewing.
“Christopher's a very noble character. He's really at the moral center of the show,” explained Metcalfe. “He's incredibly ethical and oftentimes heroic, and he's the guy that selflessly tries to serve and protect his family."
“Christopher is really defined by his need to prove himself as a Ewing,” he continued, “and the baggage of being abandoned by the only mother that he's ever known. I think that's the fuel for his ambition.
"So anything can come out of that. He's already proven himself in the first season to be pretty temperamental at times and very emotionally raw at times."
