PRETTY LITTLE LIARS: The seAson finAle

WELL! It’s been an interesting, to say the least, summer season for Pretty Little Liars. With the season finale, #TheBetrAyal as we’re being reminded of ever-so not subtly, counting down the promise to a big reveal; it’s time to take stock. What do we know? We’ve had some new characters thrown at us: CeCe Drake (or Alison Sr. as I’ve been referring to her), the mysteriously glamorous ex-homecoming queen that used to be friends with Alison, though let’s get something

GRIMM: The Good, The Bad, and the “Oh Hai Mom!”

The end of the first season resulted in the most awkward family reunion pretty much ever, with the realization that the curly-haired female ninja turns out to be Nick’s thought-dead mother. Apparently there was a case of mistaken identity, and she’s been alive the entire time. Seeking vengeance. In hiding. To keep Nick safe. Yeah, ok. Juliette is still in the hospital, slowly losing pieces of her memory. Awesome. That means the fact that Nick came clean with her and

Courtney K previews the new season of PRETTY LITTLE LIARS with “A” look back

Ok fellow Obsessers: the big reveal we were waiting for!  [Spoiler Alert] Mona = A!! Did anyone else see that coming?? Well, sort of… During a conference call with Janel Parrish (Mona) the morning after the episode aired, Janel offered some insight. Was it difficult to transition from the sweet and self-centered Mona to the demented “A”? That was definitely the most challenging part and also the most fun part was transitioning from this bubbly character that I’ve played for

My Take on The Red Carpet: HAPPY ENDINGS at the TV Academy

With the announcement that HAPPY ENDINGS would definitely be getting another season (really, was there any real doubt?) the red carpet was rolled out for the cast and executive producers (David Caspe and Jonathan Groff). Eliza Coupe (Jane), Damon Wayans, Jr. (Brad), Zachary Knighton, (Dave), Casey Wilson (Penny) and Adam Pally (Max) were all smiles, jokes and humble thanks. The fellas all donned facial hair of some sort, with Zachary’s being the most jarring for me. (I teased that it

Book Review: Sex, Drugs & Superheroes – a love letter to Comic Con from David Reddish

“Normals” see a Comic Con as weird. FanBoys/FanGirls/Geeks/Nerds see it as The Ultimate Show. The creative types whose love of fantasy, fiction, action, gaming, movies, books and art have a deep appreciation for San Diego Comic Con especially. Putting a Comic Con experience into words is near impossible. David Reddish has managed to incorporate the realistic and the unattainable interactions in one fail swoop! The phrase that comes to my mind when referring to Comic Con is always “Chaotic Zoo

FRINGE is coming back!

After much speculation, I am happy to report (from Amrie) that FOX has decided to keep FRINGE alive for at least one more season! HOORAY!! I’d held off writing about my amazing opportunity during WonderCon 2012 to sit at the round tables with cast members Blair Brown (Nina Sharp), Seth Gabel (Lincoln Lee), John Noble (Dr. Walter Bishop, oh how I adore him!), Joshua Jackson (Peter Bishop) and Executive Producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman. Frankly, because I didn’t want

Dear SUPERNATURAL: Stop breaking my heart!

Seriously. I can’t even begin to describe the emotional wreckage this show has done to me. Every time, and I mean every time I start to write about SUPERNATURAL I get mad. And sad. To quote Gilmore Girls, “I’m SMAD!” Yes, there is still speculation about a Season 8. But c’mon there’s been season after season of terrific and painful storylines, granted these pains were smattered between hilarity. Which made the show’s gross out factor manageable and having two of

ONCE UPON A TIME: An Appraisal

“What’s a story? Story books are based on what? Imagination. Where does that come from? It has to come from somewhere” – such powerful words from Jefferson/The Mad Hatter desperately trying to use logic to convince Emma of what we, the viewers, know: she’s got to start believing or all is lost. ONCE UPON A TIME has really hooked me. The complex stories the writers have created based upon well loved childhood tales are nothing short of splendid. Just like

THE RIVER: Did you see that?

What’s wrong with THE RIVER? Nothing. Nothing at all. Then why aren’t the ratings skyrocketing?? (though according to tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com, last week they saw their viewership grow the best since their premiere night numbers) Why aren’t there more covers of weekly mags featuring the Cole family and their jungley adventures?? Are viewers gun-shy? Is the studio backing it at all? What’s going on over there??? Let’s examine the show, shall we? Amrie’s talked about it before; we know the premise, family

Courtney K on SMASH and rooting for the “wrong” Marilyn

I don’t like to write critical pieces about shows. You can stop laughing now. I DON’T! I feel bad when I think about how hard that person may have worked or how long it took them to get to where they are and how it’s not necessarily their fault…and then there’s SMASH. There’s nothing precisely wrong with this show. The elements are there; fantastic veteran talents, a glimpse into the realm of Broadway, talented bendy males and females prancing about,
