Law & Order SVU S15E12: Betrayal's Climax

I just want to go on record that this is the stupidest episode title in the history of SVU.

Good thing Benson shows up early in the alphabet so she gets her Sargeant diploma quickly.

I want Rawlins to come talk me down from a ledge

This victim is really sympathetic without being a total sob-story.

Uh oh. Motorcycles.

This episode wants to be The Shield.

The gang leader's name is OG? Reeeeeal original.

“My name is Walter Hartwell White...” Oh.

They showed her the apology before they told her what it was for.

What happened to the 'round-the-clock protection??

Hahahaha, Barba wants to make him rat on his own gang.

“I have the biggest gang in the city” Really, Benson? You're calling the NYPD a gang?

Come on, Liv. You know what happened to Alex Cabot when a gang leader threatened her.

American Horror Story S03E13



What is happening? Stevie Nicks music video?

This is like when the students at Hogwarts study for their OWLs

And now they're coming down the stairs like it's The Bachelor

Zoe looks weird in that turtleneck thing.

Whaaaaat? She turned to ashes?

Transmutation is high-speed tag?

Is Kyle the Supreme?

Ugh is the Supreme none of the above?

This is like the witch olympics

Oooooh.... is Fiona inside Madison!!! She did the same lighter thing, didn't she?

Spalding's going to bury her? He doesn't want to keep her as a plaything?

Nice shot of Cordelia with Fiona's portrait behind her.

Of course Myrtle goes to the stake in a fabulous red dress.

Was Marie Laveau the last voodoo practitioner?

Ooh, of course Fiona is still alive

While they're having this lovely mother-daughter chat, there's all those witches standing in line and waiting.

Is this Fiona's hell? Living on the Ax Man's farm?

But I thought she had no soul? How can she go to hell? Or was Papa Legba lying?

That was a silly final shot. Meh.

The Following S02E02

Hey it's Carrie Preston!

Nice product placement there for Microsoft

The new FBI lady looks just like the old FBI lady.

Shows with sneaky French ladies: The Following, Orphan Black

Was subway survivor on SVU, maybe? One of the short-lived ADAs?

Emma (is that her name with the Miley-hawk?) thinks she's the head cult-member 'cause she had sex with Joe.

These are the creepiest/craziest twins since Breaking Bad. And they're even more deranged.

"The classifieds" are now just craigslist.

I'm kind of glad that Ryan's reluctance to get involved was a pretense. That would have been too trite.

It's neat that we're finding out more about Joe Carroll's book this season.

It's hard to believe this bearded hermit psycho was once the good guy knight in shining armor in A Knight's Tale.

This art gala is a total Batman set-up.

"Now Ryan, which door am I at?" Oh, K-Will. You love your two-masked-killer plots don't you?

There are lots of not-in-their-20s-or-early-30s women in this show. Nice.

Joe's relationship with Carrie Preston's daughter is going to be important.

Emma's gonna be all like "Why didn't Joe tell ME he's alive?"

It's okaaaay Joe killed a reverend because the reverend went to prostitutes.

Aha! Art lady WAS on SVU. She was Dani Beck!

The Following S02E01

As I recall, season 1 ended with everyone implicitly dead. Let's see who sticks.

Ugh. I forgot how awesome Claire's eyebrows are.

Great generic ER talk: "She's bleeding out! We're losing her"

Thanks for pointing out you're only five months sober. Nice exposition.

I bet the boyfriend is a follower. And/or the niece will end up in danger.

Who is this sponsor guy?

Kevin Williamson really likes to use anniversaries.

It's really creepy that it's not even a particularly crowded train car.

So Mr. Slick is a total psycho in addition to being just bad news.

Walking away from the case: smart and healthy. Secret Joe Carroll investigation room: not so healthy.

At least the niece is in on it with him. That's slightly less unhealthy.

I like the niece's eyeshadow. Nice color. Especially with her hair.

They confirm pretty early that Carroll's still alive. No teasing that one out.

Wow. This TV hotel room actually looks like a hotel room.

Where have I see subway survivor lady before? That's not Jessica Chastain is it? Or the chick from The Killing?

The X-Files S06E08: The Rain King

Oooh, a Valentine's Day episode!

This guy is a real asshole.

Aww, the hail is heart-shaped.

That bow in this secretery's hair makes her look like a Christmas present.

That's twice this episode the agents have been mistaken for a mrried couple.

So is the catch that it's blondie that can control the weather?

There hasn't been a really good scary or suspenseful episode in a while.

Don't get me wrong, I love the silly ones. But they only work because the show is usually serious.

Or is it the meteorologist the one doing it? He gave the power to Darryl so he'd leave blondie?

I'm just one step ahead of this episode...

Blondie reminds me of Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors.

Mulder and Scully swaying together is the best part of this episode so far.

Not so subtle rainbow in the background there.

Kind of a filler episode. I thought the Mulder love-triangle was unnecessary.





The X-Files S06E07: Terms of Endearment

Man, being pregnant seems terrifying.

Wait, was Wayne Bruce Campbell??

Is this Spender? Yep.

I love that Mulder is digging through Spender's trash for cases.

They have Scully running FBI job interviews?

How can Bruce Campbell hear Scully on the other end of the phone line through the baby monitor?

The house ooks like the one from House of the Devil.

Why is Bruce Campbell crying? Did the demon baby not turn out right?

How can he afford two wives and two houses? (At least two...)

This poor woman. She seems so normal compared to most X-File ladies.

The Devil listens to Garbage??

Mulder and Scully should investigate the Roanoke disappearance.

Is Bruce Campbell trying to have a non-devil baby, is that what's going on?

That warm milk is glowing. I would never drink something that is glowing. Particularly milk.

Hahahaha I love Bruce's other wife. She ain't buying into this devil bullshit.

Betsy is what?? What was he digging up??

Is Betsy also a devil?

And why does Bruce Cmpbell have stitches in his cheeks?

Aww, he gave Laura her soul back. How seet.

I like this episode. I like the twist of the devil trying to have a normal baby.

The X-Files S06E06: How the Ghosts Stole Christmas

Is this another silly episode? Did they just not know what to do after the movie?

A left cheek sneak, Mulder?

Guest starring Lily Tomlin??

And Ed Asner?

Man, Scully's such a nag.

This skeptic monologue must have been a bitch to memorize.

Hey Scully, they shut down the X-files so let's go ghost hunting.

I do love haunted house stories, though

"Why's all the furniture covered?"
"We're having the house painted."
"Well then where's your Christmas tree?"
"We're Jewish."

I'm not entirely sure what's goin on. What are Lily and Ed up to?

Whaaaat? Why did Mulder go all Jack Torrance?

Is there going to be some amnesia at the end of this episode, too?

So Mulder who shot Scully was just ghost Lily?

What? What's happening?

Oh. Now Scully was ghost Lily. I get it.

Actually no, that doesn't really explain anything.

These ghosts are not benign entities, Mulder.

These gunshot wounds don't seem so bad.

Oh, I guess they're not real.

I don't understaaaaand.

Folie a deux?

Did Mulder get Scully a dildo? That looks like it could be a dildo.
