This week is the last one that we have until the finale! Last week was a bit crazy trying to figure out how they were going to get Drew out. First they tried driving, then attempted to fly, but the chopper was to slow. They end up sending Drew out with Rachel on the train to head back to Lexington.

Now I have no idea where they are going to go with this. Obviously they managed to get Drew out of Harlan alive. Now I think there is just the matter of getting him to testify against Theo Tonin or whatever he was supposed to do that he ran from in the first place. Lets see where this week takes us!

Tonight is the live telecast of the results and elimination of one of the couples. Tonight we go from twelve couples down to eleven. Who do you think is going home tonight? Any guesses? I love how it is almost always not who you think it will be. I am sure that tonight will be no different. We also have entertainment from the season sixteen professional dancers, Josh Groban and Icona Pop.

We get to take a look back at last night’s performances. We get a little of everything from the performances, to the judges reactions and a look at what happens when the cameras are “off.”

Content unique to each platform was created to build excitement and reveal clues about the new series to its most likely and influential fan base. New “Ravenswood” Facebook and Twitter pages were also created as a place for new fans to go.

My TwoCents: Can Veronica Mars Pull Off a Movie?

If you’ve been living in a TV hole, Veronica Mars is becoming a movie!

I’ve been a fan of the show since the start. A strong young female main character on TV? Yes, I was all for it back in 2004. And I was grateful for those three seasons we did get. Yes, maybe that third season wasn’t as on par as the first or even the second, but it was three seasons longer than many shows we see these days. And now, with massive fan support and Kickstarter, the show is becoming a movie!

But can it still be good six years later? Can it pull off a movie version of itself? At least it should have the monetary funds to do so ($3.8 million and counting), but I’m still cautiously optimistic.

We. Are. Back! After a long four month hiatus, we return exactly where we let off. Monroe’s helicopter fires its machine gun as Miles and co. run into an abandoned diner. The helicopter fires two rockets into the diner and when the diner looks like it has been consumed in fire, the helicopter flies away. What? No third rocket just for insurance?

In the burning building, Miles and company have hidden in a large storage freezer. Miles warns that the militia will return to look for the bodies. They need to get as far away from Philly as possible.

Tonight’s episode begins with a recap from last week’s premiere episode. I am always interested in seeing it again, as I am sure all of you are. It gives us all the insight on how the couples prepared for their dances that were performed last week as well as a look back at last week’s premiere. Remember this, the scores that they got last week and the phone calls, texts and Facebook votes all count towards tomorrow’s elimination!

Who will do well tonight? Who will go home tomorrow? We are about to find out how well our couples did tonight in preparation for tomorrow’s elimination!

Last week left us with a cliffhanger after everything above the Ewing Energies rig went boom. This week gives us the fallout, medically and emotionally. When the dust cleared who lived? Who died? And who would find out who was to blame?

After all of the drama of the past few weeks, this episode felt slightly subdued, but it still ramped up the drama and the forthcoming fallout. Heck, we managed to have an episode with sex, betrayal, lies, and death… and I thought it was more quietly paced! That says something about the drama in these latest outings, doesn’t it?

This week we have the Squints trying to solve the murder of guy found in a car, all while being filmed for a documentary to raise money for the Jeffersonian. We also have Cupid playing games with one of our very own and it’s to be quite awkward at times.

I was pretty happy with the corpse this week because of the oddly distorted face after being in the car for a couple of days. I think that was something new and I do love something new each week.

What could make the infamous Robots vs. Wrestlers even better? Themed bots and wrestlers of a certain age. Yeah, okay, it’s Barney explaining this fact to us. But maybe we should trust him, as he’s apparently invited time travel.

Ted’s not too interested in the competition, so Barney brings future versions of them both (who look exactly the current versions) to convince him otherwise. Okay, so they’re (probably) imaginary. They almost convince him- until near future Ted arrives.
