I do love this show. “Last Call” involves a 135 year-old bottle of scotch, a rustic tavern, and murder. This isn’t the best episode of the show (oh, it is a darn fine one!), but it does have a little of everything that makes Castle work including some great moments for its two stars to shine such as this scene between Beckett (Stana Katic) and Castle (Nathan Fillion) before questioning a murder suspect.

She had me at “Conjunction Junction.” Last night’s episode of Glee, appropriately entitled “The Substitute” found Sue (Jane Lynch) temporarily in charge of the school and Will (Matthew Morrison) home sick in bed. Meanwhile, the Glee Club found themselves a new friend in free-spirit Holly Holliday (Gwyneth Paltrow) who earns the club’s trust by catering to their choice of music (as well as offering them everything from free tacos to marijuana).

This week’s episode of Chuck really does have it all: Sarah Connor, James Bond, explosions, betrayals, more twists than an M. Night Shyamalan flick, and a surprise or two. “Chuck Vs. the First Fight” centers around Chuck (Zachary Levi) and Sarah’s (Yvonne Strahovski) first fight over her turning his mother (Linda Hamilton) over to the CIA. While I’m not sure this actually qualifies as their first fight (didn’t they go a few rounds about Sarah not hanging up her clothes a few episodes back?), this does give plenty of opportunities for Chuck to discuss the situation with everyone from Morgan (Joshua Gomez) to an MI6 operative he just met (Timothy Dalton – great casting!). This episodes also gives quite a few twists (including a couple you should see coming), Ellie (Sarah Lancaster) finally getting to talk with her mother, the appearance of this season’s big bad – Frost’s boss Alexei Volkoff, and an ending that gives us as many questions as answers. This is the strongest episode of Season Four so far.

Created by former Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, Sherlock takes the famous detective out of Victorian London and into modern day. The first season is currently playing in America on PBS and is available on blu-ray and DVD.
The three episode first season begins with the meeting of Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Dr. Watson (Martin Freeman) in a loose adaptation of “A Study in Scarlet” titled “A Study in Pink.” Aside from introducing the characters to us, and each other, this first episode begins the Holmes and Watson partnership as the pair hunt down a killer on the streets of London.

This episode reunites Chuck (Zachary Levi) with his long lost mother (Linda Hamilton), who claims to be a deepcover double-agent. Frost proposes to help the CIA recover a terror-inducing nerve toxin to prove her loyalty. The result? Chuck gets shot in the heart (literally). And that’s just the beginning.
