Before I begin, let me apologize that we have not been timely with the final three amazing Blue Bloods episodes. I moved and unfortunately, no one else has the devotion to the Reagan family quite like I do.

With that being said, I can’t review all three episodes in detail, so let’s take a quick look at the previous two episodes before diving into the great season finale, which finally brought an end to the Blue Templar storyline that has been eating at us all season long.

“Every villain is only as great as his hero.” This is it, the ending to the long running series of Smallville. We have waited ten years to get to this point and now it has arrived. How will it end? One of our favorite characters will die, but who will it be? Anything goes when it’s the last episode. Will Clark defeat Darkseid and fulfill his destiny? Will Lois and Clark get a happily ever after? What will happen to Chloe and Oliver?

The time to find out is now…

This week, Howard finally breaks the big news to his mom, Priya and Penny bond, and there are germs EVERYWHERE!

The opening at the Cheesecake Factory is very funny, what with Penny still being unreasonably jealous of Priya, Bernadette bringing Priya a covert non-diet drink, and Sheldon freaking out because he accidentally drinks from Leonard’s glass. He also accidentally uses Leonard’s napkin to wipe it off! He gargles with some tequila, and tells Leonard he loves him though – aww. The gang decides Sheldon’s germophobia is funny, and Raj later tells Sheldon he’s drinking his water and then hiding the mouthwash on him.

This is it! Possibly the last CSI:NY episode of all time! And it starts with Mac kissing the cross on his necklace to show what a good Catholic he is, Danny kissing his photo of Lucy to show what a good father he is, and Don checking his badge to show how good of a cop he is. It’s a high-risk situation they’re in, and Mac gets separated from the others as he chases down a suspect. The suspect then points a gun in Mac’s chest. Is this the end of Mac?

“Man or Superman?” Looking back at a Pilot for a show about a young Superman ten years ago seems like a distant memory. Has it really been that long? I started watching the series live on TV in season 3 and it has been one of the most incredible journeys. Amazing characters, epic plotlines, evil villains, love, loss and friendship, Smallville has been a part of our lives and made us believe in heroes.

Now in this week’s episode, it all comes to an end. Clark faces his greatest foe yet and must save the girl, save the world, fulfill his destiny, and get married! How will it all end? Will he finally wear the suit and fly? Here is Smallville’s Series Finale…

Parks and Recreation – Recap & Review – Road Trip

Parks and Recreation
Road Trip

Original Air Date: May 12, 2011

The slow burn attraction between Leslie and Ben has been a major plot point throughout Park and Recreation’s season three and for good reason. We’ve seen Leslie’s string of relationships gone wrong and we’ve seen Ben go from hating to loving Pawnee, much thanks to Leslie. Their mutual crush has developed nicely over the course of this season and it seemed as if a relationship was just on the horizon. Just as they were inching closer together, Chris threw a wrench into the mix by imposing a strict “no office romance” policy.

They continue flirting but don’t go beyond that because they’re both terrified of losing their jobs. Leslie decides to avoid any situation that might be filled with sexual tension when they’re left alone. Bad plan, because Chris throws them another curveball by sending his “dynamic duo” on a road trip to Indianapolis together to make a case for hosting a baseball tournament in Pawnee.

Despite her huge crush on Ben, Leslie is determined to “anti-seduce” Ben on the trip and enlists Ann’s help.

You all know how much I love Jeff, but this week I have to say he is a bit of a douche-bag as he doesn’t like the fact that Audrey is making some good money and buying things on her own. Say whaaaat?! But the fun part of the night is watching Adam and Jenn get some free meals. And is there ever an episode that you don’t feel sorry for poor Timmy and the boloney he puts up with, while with Russ?
