Her head is bloodied, grazed by a bullet, and she is disoriented; Cho calls for help while Grace sits her down.

While her memory doesn’t come back, she does remember being in a dark room, laying on a dirt floor where it smelled like horses. So they go looking for a stable. Inside, they find the bodies of a man and a woman. Surprise!

It’s a bit depressing to watch FlashForward these days. Besides the fact the chances of a second season are ever-decreasing, things don’t seem to be going well for anyone on the show- though what would a show be without drama? However, this week Keiko returns! But does that necessarily mean things will to turn out well?

I think I watched an episode of Criminal Minds last night, but to be honest, I’m not really sure. All of the fans of the show knew this was the big episode in which the characters for the spin off were introduced. If you read my My Two Cents editorial not too long ago, you’ll know that I wasn’t so pleased about the idea. But I decided to do my best to put my preconceived ideas about it to rest for the hour during the show and give it a chance.

I had even hoped my negative expectations would lead me to a pleasant surprise. What I wasn’t counting on, however, was that my show and my characters would just fade into the background this episode. If Reid and JJ were in last night’s episode, I pretty much missed them in the blink of an eye. The rest of the BAU filled the roles of sidekicks to the shiny new team. And we waited three weeks for a new episode for this?! Unbelievable. But let’s get this recap started, shall we? That’s what I’m here for.

This week’s Mythbusters involved two of my favorite things, fast cars and physics. Adam and Jamie tested some classic spy movie methods for evading a pursuer while the build team tested another classic physics thought experiment.

As usual there were some surprises and some stunning high-speed photography involved in both myths.

2010 Spring Finale Dates

when is your show taking it's final bow?

The flowers are blooming, the grass is returning to green, and of course allergy medicine is flying off the shelf.

If you’re reading this site, my guess is that you like television. So I think it’s safe to assume that while you’re planning the picnics, trips to the zoo, and kite flying adventures, you’re curious as to when to set your DVR or block out some time to watch the ends of your favorite shows this spring.

We will bid a fond farewell to shows such as LOST, Ugly Betty and 24 that won’t be returning. We will bid a not so fond farewell to shows such as ‘Til Death and Three Rivers. We’ll be holding our breathes that the finales are not the end of shows such as SouthLAnd, Parenthood and Chuck. (Check our list of canceled, renewed, on the bubble shows)

Below is our chronological listed schedule of show spring finales. These dates and times are subject to change as, hey, we don’t run the networks. We will update as more info become available.

Ryan warned us right away it would be a shocking show and so it was. The biggest shock — the Judges’ Save has been used! So no one was eliminated this week. That’s the good news. The bad news is that next week, two singers have to go and there’s no more save.

Oh, and more bad news — the group number reared its ugly head after two weeks off. Man, I thought we’d gotten rid of that monstrosity. Even with a medley of Lennon & McCartney songs, it felt awkward.

I want to start this week with a disclaimer: this episode of Human Target involves British royalty, so I am not responsible for any Keen Eddie jokes I make during this recap. I know they’re going to happen, so just roll with it.

Turning up on a helicopter in a good suit is one hell of a way to make an entrance, and that’s how Chance starts this episode, which takes him to New York. He’s also chatting up Erick Avari, who used to play the medical examiner on my beloved remake of Dragnet, and who briefs him on his new assignment: to protect the Princess of Wales, who’s been targeted for assassination.

It would be just like TV executives to give us a great romantic scene in one episode and then act as if it didn’t happen in the next. Thank goodness that didn’t happen with this episode of The Good Wife.

Alicia and Will actually talk about their hot swap of saliva. And more than once. But then things get dicey as Alicia’s daughter overhears her mom on the phone discussing it one more time with Will.
