Cult- Season 1, Episode 1

You're Next- We saw the pilot of The CW's newest show early on Hulu, and man did we hate it. Here's why:

  • It's boring. It was like some of the longest, dullest episodes of Supernatural, not the good ones.
  • It wastes good actors, like Alaric from TVD and Jo from Supernatural.
  • It's cheesy.
  • We thought it was going to be about a cult or different cults, not a cult based on a TV show about a cult. Is anyone REALLY a fan of the "show-within-a-show" maneuver? It wasn't even that great on 30 Rock, and that was our favorite attempt at it.
  • We've had enough long-running, confusing mysteries with PLL.
  • The characters are bland.
  • The tone isn't very fun or thrilling, and it just feels clumsy.
  • The cult leader is named "Billy Grimm," which is obviously a not-so-subtle dig at Christians because of evangelical leader "Billy Graham." We don't like any religion disrespected, even ones with crazy followers. What religion doesn't have crazy followers? "Real" Christians are nice people and don't judge.
  • Does anyone on this show have a lamp? A flashlight? It seemed like nearly every scene was in a dark room.
  • We didn't enjoy a second. We didn't care. 
  • For that premise, it wasn't clever enough.
Episode grade: D

Glee- Season 4, Episodes 12-14

Naked, Diva, I Do- Whoa. We didn't expect the show we wanted to write about today to be Glee, but this episode dropped bombs up until the last moment. Anything Can Happen was cute, and Emma's song was fun (although no Company song should ever be shortened). Still, we were underwhelmed with the music this week. What a shame. We liked the episode though. Things happened!

Pretty Little Liars Season 3, episode 19

What Becomes of the Broken Hearted- Yet another "better late than never" post from us. After A sends Spencer a text threatening to take out one of the other Liars if Spencer tells them about Toby, Spencer clams up even harder. It must have looked to A like Spencer was getting ready to crack. She should have told them sooner. Then, Spencer gets kicked off the Academic Decathlon Team, with Andrew being the swing vote and Mona being the instigator.

Once Upon a Time- Season 2, Episode 13

Tiny- Does anyone else think this episode was a bit of a bore for this show? After that long hiatus, we wanted an episode where something big happens. Not "big" literally, because then we'd be satisfied with our giant friend coming to Storybrooke. Come on, show. As far as Emma/Henry/Gold go, the show only got them on a plane. We're pretty annoyed that they had to take Henry along too. That kid annoys when we see him in large doses.
