The theme of this entire episode was the fear. Kensi, or Charlene St James as her internet dating profile tells us, seems to be terrified of shaggy back hair on men. Sam is afraid of clowns. He’s also afraid of being buried alive, which is exactly what happens to Amanda Remy. Her father Cmdr Remy holds the keys to the Navy’s secrets (which seems to be a pattern with all the Navy victims this season) and wants NCIS on the case despite the fact that its outside their jurisdiction.

The FBI agrees graciously to allow NCIS leeway (even though it seems they pretty much solved the case themselves without any inter-agency cooperation) and they zero in on Lucas Maragos, whose MO seems to be burying girls in boxes and then sending a video of the crime to their loved ones.

My apologies for the late review. *Cough, cough* I am really under the weather. But enough about me. This was an interesting Good Wife, no?

We had homophobia, lost relatives, a sniper, a son trying to clear his dead father’s name, Cary vs. the firm, Blake vs. Kalinda and Alicia vs. Childs.

With our week two curse over and done with, it’s time to move on to week three on campus. Nobody has much time to mourn Tina because they jump right into a Temptation.

The contestants walk outside to find Alison standing in front of shelves of 400 cupcakes!

This is the first episode that from minute one will have you glued to your seat. It is one of the few episodes so far that I cannot keep my eyes off of the TV, Action as well as a bit of drama. This season is starting to get better especially now that there are only seven episodes that are left.

I think that everything is moving in a downward spiral lately. The whole thing that the money is gone and they are totally broke is like the way that they had it last season; struggling for money and guns and everything that they went through in season two.

NCIS has dealt with their fair share of strange cases, but this week’s case is the definition of perplexing. When the body of a petty officer is found in the hot tub of a foreclosed house, the team is called in. The man has not only been drowned, but also shot and had his abdomen and stomach slit open. Why shoot a man who is already dead? Will they even be allowed to finish investigating the case? And why is Tony so interested in Ziva’s email?

In this week’s episode Castle and Beckett team up to solve a murder in Central Park. But the clues are confounding. What do a 200-year-old bullet, antique pistols and turn of the century clothing add up to? If you’re Castle the answer is an easy one, a time traveling killer.

In a charming opening we find Castle making breakfast for Alexis and his mother. A new creation he has come up with combining the sweetness of marshmallows, chocolate and…eggs? Eww. Castle says it is a smore-let. Had to laugh at that! And he said it so proud. Alexis tries it and as expected the experiment is disgusting. She asks her dad if she can invite her friend Ashley over that night. And she runs off. Grandma lets it slip that Alexis is in love. Castle is hurt that she didn’t tell him first.

Welcome to episode two of season three of Lie To Me. This week we have a teen beauty pageant and all the fun that goes with it. It’s an entertaining episode.

We open with Cal having problems with burnt toast and writer’s block. Emily tries to encourage him, but he skirts the issue. He writes, “Let there be Lightman!” He continues to struggle for the entire episode.

This was, by far, the most enjoyable episode of Running Wilde thus far. The question is, is it too late to save this ratings challenged series? Are you watching Running Wilde?

This episode relied less on Emmy trying to convert Steve into a better human being and more on a standard comedy set-up: the misunderstanding. And anything that has the instrumental notes of Extreme’s “More Than Words” has a place in my soul and DVR queue.

It’s elimination night once again. Performances this week were perhaps not as good as previous weeks for some of our dancers. There was a lot thrown at them with the new stage and the acoustic music. Double score night also made it hard to hide performances behind technique and vice versa since they were judged on both.

Remember, Jennifer, Brandy and Audrina are at the top and Kurt, Bristol, and Mike are in the bottom. So was there an upset? Read on to find out.

I am in love with this show, which I wasn’t even planning on watching. Poor innocent Jimmy is in way over his head, and his family isn’t exactly helpful…or functional. But I swear it works.

So Jimmy has a pseudo-date with Sabrina to play with some children’s toys that aren’t appropriate for Hope. Virginia promises to hide the family (ruining Burt’s balloon game, ending MawMaws labor and taking Hope).
