FRINGE: Eight Teases For ‘Entrada’

FRINGE fans, there is some serious payoff coming to a TV screen near you next month.

I’ve screened the December 2nd episode of the series and must tell you, this is an hour you cannot miss. I’d say some pretty major events go down — impressive considering the fact that it’s not a sweeps ep or a midseason finale.

So, in honor of the 8th hour of FRINGE season 3, here are eight teases to tide you over until December… Read more

CHUCK: ‘Chuck Versus Phase Three”

Hey Sarah Walker, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out tonight? Have some wine, do our nails, and maybe kick a little ass?  You in? Yeah? Oh I knew I could count on you, you Giant Blond She-Male.

In case you didn’t know, Sarah Walker is not a woman you want to mess with. Especially not when her boyfriend has been kidnapped and is being held captive by a Thorn Birdian Belgian. “Chuck Versus Phase Three” put Sarah in the driver’s seat in an episode devoted to showing us what a complete bad ass she is. Tracking Chuck to Thailand and rescuing him before his brain was obliterated proved that finding love hasn’t weakened Sarah as a spy, it’s in fact made her stronger.  Faced with the real possibility of losing Chuck, Sarah dug deep to find the strength she needed to stay focused on getting her man back. She may have broken a few dozen international security rules and violated a treaty or two, but she did as Patsy Cline told her. Sarah Walker stood by her man.

HOUSE’s leading lady Lisa Edelstein has seen an increase in her screen-time this season as the show has romantically paired her character, Cuddy, with the series’ cranky doc after six years of will-they-won’t-they antics.

But romance on HOUSE is never easy, as Edelstein teased when Give Me My Remote chatted with her this weekend. House and Cuddy’s recent trust issues won’t get wrapped up in a neat little box.

Read on for more from Edelstein on this, plus her take on her recent PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD nomination, the status of “Huddy” and working with upcoming guest star Candice Bergen…

SMALLVILLE: ‘Patriot’

What up Smallville fans! It’s been a while. We have alot to discuss! This week’s episode marked the return of Aquaman. It didn’t turn out to be the warm and fuzzy reunion for the superhero league that I expected to see. Not only did AC bring home his wife Mera, but an anti government attitude that justified blowing up oil rigs and whatever posed a threat to their kind. Of course Clark was against this and ready to sign up for the Vigilante Registration Act created that Lois’s Dad, General Lane, has been involved with. Instead Oliver decided to take one for the team.

This was definitely a problem for Lois. Since her and Clark have been on the road of honesty, Lois finding out from Oliver that Clark was contemplating such a risk with his identity made her none too happy. The mushy Lois and Clark we’ve seen for weeks just went out the window!

BONES: ‘The Babe in the Bar’

Hello BONES pals! After Brennan’s edict in “The Bones that Weren’t,” several of us went out and bought new toothbrushes, and after this episode, some of us may be swearing off chocolate for awhile. Why’s that? Well, let’s discuss, of course! Starting with…

THE CASE:

The episode begins with Willy Wonka-esque Jimmy Walpert III (played by Wayne Knight, aka “Newman”), enticing a crowd over the love of chocolate. His company, Walpert Chocolate, is unveiling the world’s largest chocolate bar. As his assistants saw open the bar, they encounter a blockage. But it’s not a creamy caramel center; it’s human remains. Delish!
