'House' recap: Is House going [spoiler]?!

HOUSE-FINALE

In what has become a signature move in the last few episodes, House delivered a heck of a curveball at the end of tonight’s episode. And going into its series finale (next week!) I’m not exactly sure how House is going to work his way out of this one.

Let’s dig into this week’s episode:

We picked up by learning the outcome of the tests Wilson took in last week’s episode: They were not good. “I’m not doing any more chemo,” Wilson declared early on in the episode. He’d shot for a cure, a miracle, he said, but missed by a mile. So he was done. But House was determined not to let him just give up, and the rest of the episode played out like a fun tango between Wilson and House, in which House tried to convince Wilson his life was worth fighting for. After all, House told him, he’d helped so many others do the same.

House even tried to make his point by inviting Wilson’s past patients to the hospital for a big, dramatic scene. Of course, this being House and House, there was a catch: None of the people House presented to Wilson were actual former patients. Now, believe me, the moment (while it lasted) was beautiful. And I was blubbering like an idiot. Then when the truth was revealed, I felt like a fool. I’ll add the moment to the long, wonderful list of other times I, like Wilson, have been duped by Gregory House. READ FULL STORY »

'House' react: Did [spoiler] just [spoiler]?!

I’ll say this plainly: That was mean!

Of course, I’d expect nothing less than a juicy cliffhanger as House heads towards its final episodes, but leaving an episode off just before we find out whether or not Wilson is going to live or die is just…cruel. Oh, well. I’ll recover since it’s all in the name of good drama. But leaving off this antepenultimate episode on the aforementioned note isn’t even the biggest shocker of the night.

UPDATE: A comprehensive recap awaits you just after the jump! And visit EW’s InsideTV blog after the west coast airing for thoughts from executive producer Andrew Marlowe!

A more fleshy recap of tonight’s Castle is on the way, just as soon as I get my heart out of my throat and I stop weeping like a child. But for the time being, sound off here about tonight’s season 4 finale. [Don't read on if you haven't seen the episode. For real.] READ FULL STORY »

'House' react: 'I promise.'

On tonight’s episode, House was uncharacteristically sincere as he helped his friend, Wilson, get through the tough effects of cancer treatment. Don’t worry, it didn’t last. But before I get to that, let’s backtrack.

Last week, we learned that Wilson was fighting a pretty mighty battle against cancer. Stage 2. He dropped the bomb on his best friend at the end of the episode.

This week, House, as he put it, was ready to return the favor for every instance in which Wilson made himself a pain in the ass during a time when House requested solitude. So even though Wilson wanted House to stay out of his cancer treatment, House was ready and willing to do the exact opposite. The result? Some of the best scenes between these two that we’ve seen in recent memory. (Maybe ever? I’ll let you debate.) READ FULL STORY »

'How I Met Your Mother' react: Seeing Robins

It’s taking me forever to think of a way to start this reaction post to tonight’s How I Met Your Mother because I’m pretty sad. Why? Because we have to wait TWO weeks until the next new episode, which also happens to be the season finale. That’s a double bummer. But, you could also subtract one bummer because it’s going to be a one-hour episode. So, now, it’s just a bummer. But a bummer nonetheless.

Have I sufficiently procrastinated getting to this? Probably three sentences ago. Let’s jump into it: READ FULL STORY »

House has just four episodes left in its run, and on tonight’s episode, the show’s end game became more clear than ever.

'Supernatural' react: 'What are the odds this ends well?'

I was excited as anyone about the return of Bobby (Jim Beaver) at the end of the last new episode of Supernatural. But tonight’s episode simply bummed me out — in a good way.

Much of my trouble with certain episodes of Supernatural this season was that I was beginning to feel an emotional disconnect from all that was going on. (Maybe you’ve felt the same way?) But these last few episodes have really given me back the feelings I love having toward these characters and this show. In last night’s episode, for example, as Jim Beaver promised me earlier this week, we saw Bobby struggling with reality being a ghost. The once-capable hunter was now limited in abilities and knowledge of his abilities. So in typical Bobby fashion, he studied up, learned what he could and put it to the test — all with a little help from fellow hunter-turned-specter Annie.

I thought it was clever to pair Bobby’s struggles with this back-to-the-basics ghost hunt the Winchester brothers found themselves on in this episode. I’ve always been a fan of the no-frills cases because that’s often a sign of a much weightier emotional story that’s in play. (And, frankly, that’s the meat and potatoes of what makes Supernatural one of my favorite shows.)

In the end, Bobby was able to help the boys close the case, and also found a way to become visible to the boys again. Because the hour-long build up to this had been pretty much perfect (including, but not limited to, the shower scene where Bobby wrote in the steam), the moment when the boys came face-to-ghost-face with Bobby again was completely on-point, too. (Honorable mention moment: Bobby: “Annie’s here, too, ya know.” Boys: [Look everywhere except where they're supposed to] “Hi, Annie…”) READ FULL STORY »

'Parks and Recreation' returns! No more reasons to glum, sugar plum!

Who’s that person who loved last night’s Parks and Recreation? That’s-a-me!  (Still hungry? Check out these deleted scenes.)

So gather around everyone — that includes you, Mr. Hamster Penis — for a quick rundown of the big moments from last night’s episode, with some helpful context:

1. Is there anything sexier than a guy who fills his house with amenities? If there is, I haven’t found it. And the most shocking aspect of my newfound appreciation for men who own soft blankets and have refrigerators full of coconut water? That Tom is the person who helped me come to this conclusion. Congrats, Tom! You’ve finally done something sort of right. Ann certainly loved it, too. Yes, that’s still happening. But for how long? (See. No. 4) READ FULL STORY »

'Scandal' react: What did you think of tonight's big [spoiler] reveal?

Scandal‘s uptick in ratings last week was hopefully an indication of the viewer’s increased interest in Olivia Pope and Associates. I say that in a completely self-serving manner — because I need someone to talk to about this, especially after last night’s big reveal…
