Steve’s back! And he’s finally getting Wo Fat, who is awfully calm for having a hotel bathroom covered in blood. It’s like a scene from Dexter in there! Back on the island, Kono is having a very nice time with a mystery man. Who’s really familiar…

Oh right, he’s the heir to the Yakuza, (Adam Noshimuri) and therefore a bad guy. Oh Kono, what are doing now??

“Winning!” Charlie Sheen knows of its importance – apparently, the Evil Queen has the same belief system. She redecorated a whole world just to win; that’s determination. She must have tiger blood and Adonis DNA!

In Fairytale, King George is planning a public execution for Charming. The method George chooses is the age-old guillotine, the weapon of my choice. As the blade comes down on Charming’s pretty head, it becomes a waterfall of fun. Regina stops the execution to make a deal – Charming for gold. The greedy bastard king agrees.

Wow: A favorite actress and a favorite song show up in the same episode. Plus, Peggy tells Don to shut up.

But, this episode focuses on Megan and how she’s done with copywriting and ready to pursue acting.

This mediocre season concludes here with some really mediocre performances. Team make mistakes left and right. One team makes a monumental error so close to the finish line but the other teams aren’t good enough to capitalize on it. It would be funny if it weren’t so irritating.

Really, I didn’t want any of these four teams to win. Unfortunately, one of them has to, so keep reading to find out who it was (but, really, like you can’t guess).

The last episode before the season finale. Bree’s trial is finally underway and the other housewives are making major decisions in their lives.

At the start of the episode, Trip is questioning Gaby to prepare for putting her on the stand and she accidentally lets slip the name Alejandro (remember, Trip only knows him as Ramon Sanchez). She covers pretty well, but is this going to come back to bite her? .

Farewell…George Lindsey

lindsey

George Lindsey, actor

It is with a heavy heart TTC bids farewell to the man who graced our television screens for almost 30 years as the beanie-wearing grinning Goober. George Lindsey died early Sunday morning after a brief illness. He was 83.

From 1964 to 1993 Lindsey protrayed Goober Pyle, the service station attendant who appeared on “The Andy Griffith Show,” then its successor, “Mayberry RFD” and finally “Hee Haw.”

Although he was best known as Goober, Lindsey had other TV credits, including on “The Rifleman,” “‘CHIPs,” and “Twilight Zone.”

Lindsey is survived by his companion Anne Wilson, two children and two grandchildren.

At a train station in Boston, a man buys a coffee, walks outside, and spontaneously combusts. Like you do. People near him start to meet the same fate until a woman tells everyone to freeze; that their movement is causing the internal BBQ. How she came up with that theory, I don’t know. And is it true? I have no idea. This is Fringe, people.

Fringe Division arrives on scene to find several people dead (having burned up on the inside) and several more people standing completely still in sheer terror. Once it is determined that the cause of the events is not an airborne virus, Walter goes in to collect samples from the dead. If only he could also test on of the living people back at the lab, but it would be extremely dangerous to move one of them…

We open on slow motion gambling. A little bit of misdirection. Whilst the teenage gamblers squabble in the busy street, looking like they’re about to cause a crime scene, a married couple enter the scene carrying gifts for the woman’s niece.

The couple enters the apartment, and then the man is shot and killed.
