In my mind, there were two deserving competitors and two marketable competitors in the Top 3, and those pairs didn't necessarily contain the same finalists. I'll leave it to you to decide which of the three fit each category.
They say that when it rains, it pours, especially in the Hamptons. Emily is out for blood, Victoria makes a surprising alliance and a devastating loss brings Emily and Jack closer together. Much closer.
I gave up on being invested in the outcome of an Idol season the year that the phenomenally talented Adam Lambert lost to the pretty-but-bland Kris Allen, so I honestly have no horse in this race. But if I had to bet, I'd bet on Phillip Phillips.
If Game of Thrones continues in this vein, the show may actually overcome its reputation as a gratuitous-gore-and-sex fest and become one of HBO's all-time greatest shows.
There's a line between simple and simplistic, and there are times when "Once" errs on the wrong side of it. But when it gets its own peculiar mixture of romance, earnestness and hope right, it is pretty magical.
The broadcaster will continue to do what it's always done -- support 100 per cent Canadian content while entertaining its loyal fans; just in a less extravagant way (unlike this year's season preview, which was the biggest I've ever seen from the network).
Presented without commentary, the most absurd, comical, self-serious and/or humorless moments from episode 15, "Bombshell," in chronological order.
Though there were plenty of jaw-dropping, credulity-stretching scenes in the Season 5 finale, they were shocking for all the wrong reasons. In the blink of an eye, five years of character development has fallen by the wayside.
When it comes to group hate-watching, "Smash" is the gift that keeps on giving ... I thought, "Smash's" team is correcting the problems that have long plagued this drama. And then I watched the "Smash" season finale.
Any episode that prominently features Betty is a lesser episode of "Mad Men." She just isn't as interesting as the show thinks she is, and when she turns up, "Mad Men's" ability to tell stories about bitterness and dissatisfaction becomes noticeably unsubtle.
Over at Kathy's, the BBQ is failing as hard as Albie Manzo in law school. Teresa and Melissa compete to see who can ignore the other for longer while the kids practice drowning each other.
Most people stick to the system they've always known -- and hate Jaime as a result -- because the alternatives are terrifying. But change can't be held back, no more than the Wall held back the Wildlings.
It was a relief that the end of the Season 4 finale didn't involve yet another massive alteration or reset for the characters. I'm glad that as the show heads into the home stretch, I can watch the final season with at least a modicum of anticipation.
It might have been funny, a long time ago, for two straight men to constantly fend off the suggestion that they are gay. Not anymore.
When Bond created Paddington in 1958 he was an innocent mirror on Britain of the time. The Paddington of 2012 would be an altogether different affair. Would he make it past Heathrow customs without a issuing a hard stare or two? How would he cope with three-fruit marmalade?Â
Aside from Victoria's cluelessness, Nolan awkward flirting and Jack's hilariously bad hair, this week's episode of Revenge didn't offer anything new. It was all fluff and filler.
