Wilderness – Happily Ever After

  • Title: Wilderness – Happily Ever After
  • IMDb: link

The purpose of the opening episode of Wilderness is to set up the justification for murder once Liv (Jenna Coleman) discovers the husband (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) she’s sacrificed for is screwing on of his coworkers (Ashley Benson). Coleman is terrific here, especially in two scenes in which she reacts to her discovery, first what she believes is a one-night affair and later when she sees a video of Will and Cara together. Crushed by the weight of the situation, Liv plans a murderous revenge in the form of an apparent accident to occur to her husband while on a trip together.

Smallville - Jitters

Smallville Saturday takes us back to the time Earl Jenkins (Tony Todd) took hostages at the Smallville plant demanding LuthorCorp fix his deteriorating medical condition he blames on mineral poisoning caused by an explosion at the facility which Lionel Luther (John Glover) covered up. While Earl is correct in all his claims, there’s a lack of evidence to support them. That, and the worsening of his condition, lead to Earl taking matters into his own hands in a desperate search for a possible cure. While the meteor rocks do have an effect on the guest-star of the episode, the differences to the script involving a worker exposed to questionable scientific experiments (and in making Earl a Kent family friend) make it a standout from the other meteor-freaks the show introduced over the first-half of the season, most of whom revel in their new powers.

Only Murders in the Building – Ah, Love!

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Only Murders in the Building – Ah, Love!
  • wiki: link

Date night comes to Only Murders in the Building in an episode that doesn’t actually deal with Joy (Andrea Martin) as a suspect but instead focuses on Charles’ (Steve Martin) emotional issues with the help of his old friend Sazz (Jane Lynch). By the end of the episode, Charles has worked through his panic of dating yet another possible murderer and fears of commitment, but it turns out to be too little too late to save his unplanned engagement. While Joy is crossed of the list in Oliver’s mind, it is interesting that the episode doesn’t actually rule her out as a suspect (although her story does reveal more about the altercation between Charles and Ben on opening night).
