This week, a strange case falls into the hands of Brenda Lee Johnson. This season, the cases have been so good! They keep me on my toes the whole time and I never know who did it or who was involved. You also don’t know how Captain Raydor is going to act in a new episode. She could be there to help Brenda or destroy her.

This episode (also this season) we see Captain Raydor trying her best to help Brenda whether Brenda wants the help or not.

Previously On…

Sure, we’ll all excited about our NEW shows that are coming out this Fall, but we also know it has felt like an eternity since your favorite Fall season shows have been on the air.

Design Star
Episode 9

Jaws dropped when the three finalists— Mark, Meg and Karl — were told that this week they had to design a whole house from top to bottom in just two days. Then they saw the houses, which Tanika told us were called “tiny houses.” Exactly 86 square feet.

Tanika went on to explain how green and trendy these homes were – and of course, they’re all the rage. Where? In Munchkinville?

True Blood
Soul of Fire

Meg – Staff Writer

In our last outing before the season finale (!), True Blood upped the body count in an episode that somehow managed to be simultaneously gross, hilarious, and aggravating. While Eric and Bill competed to die for Sookie (snooze – wake me when someone doesn’t want to die for Sookie), Sam and Alcide exacted vengeance on Marcus, and Jesus went to the dark side.

Entourage
Second to Last

Second. To. Last.

I can’t believe it’s all ending. It seems like there’s still so much story to be told, especially after what comes tonight. Entourage generally doesn’t time jump, so I don’t know how next week will wrap things up nicely.

Tonight, Vince is going to pursue Sophia in a way he’s never pursued any woman before, Turtle faces the possibility of not opening the restaurant and feeling like a loser, Drama waits around while everyone else fights for his movie to get made, Ari struggles with his feelings for Dana and his wife and E fights with Sloan (because that’s new).

Breaking Bad – Recap & Review – Hermanos

Breaking Bad
Hermanos

Original Air Date: Sep 4, 2011

Walt has been under Gus’ thumb for a while now. Gus gives Walt no slack and makes its impossible for Walt to get the upper hand. It’s been said that there’s no honor among thieves, but can there be something like it among drug dealers? Based on past actions, you might think that Gus considered Walt a brother in the industry he controls. After all, Gus did prevent the brother assassins from killing Walt as retribution for Tuco’s death.

Hermanos means brothers in Spanish, but in Albuquerque this week it means so much more.

Every week, the staff at TheTwoCents will be posting their top picks for viewing. They won’t always be the top shows of the week, but the programs that each writer is most looking forward to checking out that week.

So, set your DVRs, watch, and then come back here to discuss how the picks worked out for you.

#1 Wednesday, September 7 – 8:00PM ET – MSNBC – GOP Debate
Well, it’s that time again. Time for the circus that is the race for the White House. I personally tend to lean Democratic, but I also think it’s important to hear all sides. On Wednesday, Republican presidential hopefuls will battle it out at the Ronald Reagan Library in southern California.

Fresh Presidential hopefuls! Get 'em while they're still optimistic!

Sometimes you watch a show and you can’t help but think how a character from another show might fit in. Supernatural is no different. When I see Dean decapitate a vampire, I wonder what Buffy would think of his methods. Or what the boys would make of Harry Potter if they ever crossed wands – or wand and salt bullet to be precise. These next two weeks I’m going to present a list, in no particular order, of characters from across the TV realm that I think would fit in well with the Winchester universe. These next two weeks its time for the men to take their turn in the spotlight!

Doctor Who
Night Terrors

Original Air Date: Sep 03, 2011

This episode is a standalone story. Team TARDIS is enjoying a ride through Time and Space, whilst back on Earth a mum has to go to work, saying goodbye to her son who is seemingly scared of everything. Soon, it’s just George in his room whilst his father Alex (played by Daniel Mays) is looking through a photo album in their living room. George is so scared he continually mutters, “don’t let the monsters get me.” The fear mantra is so strong that it turns up on the Doctor’s psychic paper. It looks like The Doctor is going to have to make a house call!
