E back again for some more of this TVD business with “Bringing out the Dead.” (BRING OUT YOUR DEAD!!!) This episode is what makes the sauce awesome.
We start with a little brotherly brawl featuring Elijah and Klaus (refreshing change of pace from our usual dueling brothers). Klaus even removes the stake from one of the other brothers, Kol, and stakes Elijah. But, he doesn’t. He just puts it back in Kol after they decide to be in brotherly love again and destroy Stefan. Elijah also learns that Mikael is dead. Also, also, death has made Elijah even hotter.

Another week, another stiff and boring episode of Secret Circle. All of the pieces are there to create an fun show, but the magic still isn’t there (horrible pun intended). One day, I hope this show figures out that it needs to be a plot heavy show; sadly, today was not that day.

The Vampire Diaries is back tonight, after what seemed like a very long week without it. When last we left our favorite residents of Mystic Falls, a certain original made his triumphant return (love you, Elijah!) What does this mean for Klaus? What about the others? I recently had the chance to chat with Joseph Morgan, who plays Klaus, one of my favorite supernatural beings. We talked about what’s coming up, why people root for Klaus, and he even asked me to establish the official Caroline/Klaus ‘shipper name. From searching, the consensus seems to be Carlaus (or Caralaus), so I’m going to go with that one. Edit: The common consensus seems to be Klaroline. You win, fans, you win. Whatever the name may be, I am excited about the possibility, even if they have a somewhat crazy history.

I spent the better part of an hour trying to figure out exactly what I want to say about tonight’s episode of The Secret Circle and here’s what it comes down to: now that we’ve finally looked into the past maybe the story can move forward. Since Nick died all those episodes ago, the show has been at a stand-still. Stories happen each week and the witches quibble among themselves, but nothing ever really happens. The feeling I was most struck by when watching tonight’s flashback to 1995 is that I’d rather be watching that show. Those characters interest me; that story is compelling. Watching Adam pine over Cassie is not.

E back again for this week’s TVD with “The Ties that Bind” – now with extra parent issues!
We start with another Bonnie dream. Coffin. Klaus. Traps her in the coffin. She panics like whoa. Someone opens it. (At first, I’m like who is this? Did I forget a character? But, I didn’t – I’m too awesome for that). She tells Elena about the dream (and shows her the coffin stash); turns out it’s her mom that popped open the coffin in her dream.

Because of the whole SOPA thing going on (which I agree with by the way), I wasn’t sure I’d be able to write this review. I tried last night to take notes but WordPress wasn’t having it. Anyway, last night’s Glee was actually quite enjoyable. I was reading a lot of dislike for it but I thought it had some pretty good music choices (hello, Lea Michele ballads are back!), plot (numerous proposals and one couple eloped) and a Maggie Smith bit that was hilarious.

Season three of Royal Pains, USA’s #1 hit series, returns tomorrow at 10 PM. When we last saw Dr. Hank Lawson (Mark Feuerstein) he was trying to revive an unconscious Eric Kassabian (guest star Wilmer Valderrama) after the patient was given the wrong medicine by Divya (Reshma Shetty), the result of Divya’s exhaustion juggling two jobs. At the urging of Hank, Paige’s (guest star Brooke D’Orsay) mom sought treatment for her depression. The General (guest star Bob Gunton) finally understood the toll his wife’s illness took on Paige and Evan. As the Hamptons summer continues, Divya’s secret could be exposed as her HankMed and hospital lives collide, Evan (Paulo Costanzo) tries to fit into his fiancée’s complicated family life and Jill (Jill Flint) makes an important decision about her personal and professional life. And most importantly, will HankMed lose its first patient as Kassabian life’s hangs in the balance? I’m excited to offer this great Royal Pains giveaway to celebrate the premiere! Keep reading to find out how to enter to win.

After all the fashion challenges I completed for Jane By Design, I have to say, I feel a little attached to the show. The new ABC Family show centers around Jane, a high school student, who finds herself working at one of the biggest fashion houses, Donovan and Decker for notorious Gray Chandler Murray. She has to figure out how to balance school, a job and multiple (adorable) love interests. I recently had the chance to talk to Erica Dasher and Andie MacDowell (Jane and Gray respectively) about their unique relationship, the amazing clothes, and what’s coming up on the show.
