(S04E12) When I saw the promos for this episode, my heart sank. I really thought that this was going to be the standard sitcom "exes have a relapse and have to deal with it" trope that we've seen since at least Cheers. But I have to give Bays and Thomas credit; they put enough of a twist on the old game to make it entertaining. And they added a B-story that was light, but funny and relatable. More on that in a sec.

Back to the A-story. For the twist, we can thank Barney. And not just because he broke all those TVs.

Mary Lynn Rajskub as Chloe O'Brian (S07E04) "I'm not with anyone until someone starts answering some questions." - Jack

As great as it is getting early screeners for a show, believe it or not, there's actually one caveat - especially when you're writing reviews. It forces you to choose your words ever so carefully, respecting the fact that not everyone has seen what you have. When it comes to 24, that's no easy task. Trust me - it wasn't easy knowing the whole truth about Tony while writing about the first hour of this season. One can only drop little hints like "humongous twist" and "there's more to this" so many times before you start to sound like a know-it-all jerk.

That being said, I can breathe a sigh of relief now because I'm caught up with the rest of the world and the truth - the whole humongous twist truth - is finally out.

Gossip Girl: Gone with the Will

Filed under: OpEd, Episode Reviews, Reality-Free

(S02E15) If in real life the reading of a will often brings loads of family drama, you can bet that when said reading occurs on The CW's Gossip Girl, drama will most definitely be at the party along with its long-time friends Backstabbing, Screams, Threats, Jealousy, and so on. Did the reading of Bart's will offered us the drama and shock we all expected? My two cents coming up!
