FTTV Reviews...Game of Thrones 2.10 "Valar Morghulis"


Okay guys: tonight is the night. It's bigger than the Super Bowl, The World Series or whatever sporting event you choose to follow. Tonight is the finale of another game. One of many teams and a whole lot of rules. Tonight, we wrap up one heck of a season of Game of Thrones. Join me as I cry, yell, and giggle like a school girl after the jump.

FTTV Reviews...Rookie Blue 3.02 "Class Dismissed"


Rookie Blue fans continued to show their support last night, with nearly 6 million tuning in. Not bad for a summer show...but this summer show is more than just that. It's worthy of a fall slot at best. So come on people: show your support and tell everyone you know to tune it because Rookie Blue is a damn good show! But, as the series continues its third season, did the cop comedic-drama prove that sentiment right, or was it just lacking a bit of luster after the season premiere?

THE PULL LIST: Review - "Smallville Season 11" #6


With the second print issue out in stores this coming Wednesday, Smallville debuted its sixth chapter today before taking a little break for store shelves. But until then, today's chapter includes another large mess of action that really hasn't been this momentous since the continuation's debut. However, is it worth the 99 cents, or is it simply a flashy installment with little substance?

FTTV Reviews...Veep 1.06 "Baseball"


Last week on Veep we finally learned Selina's media nicknames and got a great glimpse on how crazy she actually is, we also learned some more about Dan and just how crazy HE actually is. This week we're still with Selina but this time our character spotlight is on Gary who has a crappy relationship with his father because he wishes he was more of a jock than working for the Vice President of the United States.. yeah that's having your priorities straight dad...

FTTV Reviews...Game of Thrones 2.09 "Blackwater"


Every week Game of Thrones brings us something new, we leave the show feeling a wide array of emotions and this episode was no different. We only have one more episode to go before the finale, so did this episode deliver the goods to set up for a satisfying season ender?

FTTV Reviews...Glee 3.22 "Graduation"


Glee has been laying it on thick with nostalgia in the back half of their third season. The finale didn't let up. If it didn't make you at least choke up, then you must have a cold, empty space for a heart. And I say that with a whole lot of love (Insert tight smile here).

THE PULL LIST: Review - 'Smallville Season 11' #5


A Lex Luthor and Oliver Queen confrontation, a Clark Kent interview, and a launch into space?! There are so many good things surrounding Bryan Q. Miller’s latest installment of Smallville Season 11 that it's difficult to just pin down one topic, let alone discuss them all. But with all of these events in one issue, does the latest chapter in the season premiere arc disappoint or continue to successfully live up to the television series?

FTTV Reviews...Rookie Blue 3.01 "The First Day of the Rest of Your Life"


It feels so good to finally say...welcome back Rookie Blue! Blue's back with a bang; or in Andy's case, bangs! Since we've last seen the gang, so much seems to have happened during Andy's three month suspension and the biggest change is not only Andy's hair, but also the fact that she took off without Sam because it was a requirement of her suspension to not contact him. With the summer just getting started, did the hit police series return strong?

FTTV Reviews...Revenge 1.22 "Reckoning"


After eight months on the air, television's hit new drama ends just as addictively as it began. Revenge has been one hell of a rollercoaster ride that has easily gained a great amount of fans, and has built up to a finale that is truly unpredictable. After leading up to a major reveal nearly midway through the season, the drama still kept on strong, and has finally shown the amount of muscle it was willing to flex in the past few weeks. But, does the muscle go limp in the final hour of the year, or does it start to get the adrenaline pumping along with it and provide a satisfying ending for the season?

FTTV Reviews...Veep 1.05 "Nicknames"


I predicted last week that every episode of Veep would bring on a new character that's just a little off their rocker to make the regular crew look more appealing. For a brief moment, I thought myself to be wrong because this week's episode didn't have anyone like that. That is, until I realized the character that made everyone else seem slightly normal was Selena herself. In "Nicknames" we find out that Selena is a media joke judging by the nicknames that float around the internet.

FTTV Reviews...Game of Thrones 2.08 "The Prince of Winterfell"


Last weeks episode of HBO's Game of Thrones saw the return of Jamie Lannister, who has been absent for quite sometime. Jon Snow found himself in a pickle because of his pickle, Robb's still a bit boring and Theon still sucks. Just a normal day in Westeros. But, what did tonight's all-new episode bring to the table? And with such precious little time left before fans have yet another long wait, did it work in the season's advantage?

THE PULL LIST: Review - "Smallville Season 11" #4



Smallville #4 is finally back after its mini hiatus, which saw two weeks without a digital chapter. Did everyone go get their hard copy as well? I sure did. But, lets talk about this current installment of the comic continuation of Smallville Season 11. When we last left out, there were a few cliffhangers that spark some interesting mysteries into the new stories. Luckily, this week's edition tackles both of the major questions in play.

FTTV Reviews...Glee 3.20 "Props" & 3.21 "Nationals"


Glee has always been the kind of show that can make fun of itself and still make it sound cool. The focus on Tina being ignored for the last three seasons was both hilarious and so true at the same time. It was in that short clip that I realized how much Tina has evolved: from punk chick to goth vamp to Go Go Girl. Are we sure this show has only been on for three seasons? Because it's starting to feel like a lot longer.

FTTV Reviews...Revenge 1.21 "Grief"


After a flashback episode that explained plenty and gave us a new side of our main character, Revenge moves on to its penultimate episode of the year before we bid adieu to the show until the fall. With a parting of ways in store, and the return of an enemy from the past, was "Grief" simply wasted time in the very coveted next-to-last spot, or was it another great hour that extended the series' recent streak?

FTTV Reviews...Smash 1.15 "Bombshell"


Smash has been building towards the finale with a steady run since premiering after the Super Bowl. There are questions that have been raised throughout this season, keeping the audience coming back for the answers. Will Julia be able to resist Michael's advances to save her marriage? Will Eileen be able to hold on to her investors and her new relationship? Will Ivy be able to hold off a mental breakdown to claim the part of Marilyn?  And most importantly, will someone finally break Ellis' legs, as he so richly deserves? Find out after the jump.

FTTV Reviews...How I Met Your Mother 7.23 & 7.24 "The Magician's Code"


After a very odd schedule these past few months that have seen the series in constant hiatus every other week it seems, How I Met Your Mother returns for a one hour final extravaganza that ushers in two important events: Lily's birth, and the unveiling of the bride at Barney's wedding. With an hour to kill, did the series get the last laugh of the season with successful results, or was it an unsatisfactory ending?

FTTV Reviews...Veep 1.04 "Chung"


There are two kinds of comedies out there: the ones that get you riled up on the floor laughing in the beginning, and the ones that never get you riled up and make you wonder why you're watching it in the first place. Veep is the former. Every week it seems that Veep introduces a new weirdo to its cast of already awkward people. This week, we meet Chung, an outgoing senator who Selena awkwardly calls out on something ridiculous. Veep hasn't disappointed yet lets hope it doesn't tonight.

FTTV Reviews...Game of Thrones 2.07 "A Man Without Honor"


If you weren't left pissed off at last week's ending of Game of Thrones, I am not sure you're human. Dany's dragons were missing and she was pissed, Theon is a git and a jerk, and Joffrey's name should be turned into a curse word because he's that much of a brainless child last week. I'm going into tonight's episode hoping I'll have just as many feelings as last week's. Lets see if it delivers.

FTTV Reviews...Once Upon a Time 1.22 "A Land Without Magic"


The #1 new series on television is ready to end its very successful first year with...well, an ending that's extremely mysterious. While the promos leading up to the final episodes of the season have been filled with scenes to make any fan squeal with delight, there have been very little reveals as to what we can expect from the final hour of the season. With the ending of the first chapter of this storybook officially over, was it one that successfully closed out the season with a can't miss episode, or did it simply not live up to the expectations?

*SOME SPOILERS FOLLOW. READ ON AT YOUR OWN CAUTION.*

FTTV Reviews...Revenge 1.20 "Legacy"


After an episode that saw plenty of secrets revealed, Revenge only has a few select nights left until it leaves so we can have our own summer in the Hamptons. And with that precious time, we instead spend an incredibly little time dealing with the story in the present, and have an episode that goes back nearly a decade. With plenty of tales to tell that all fall in one night, was it a well use of the small hours we have left?
