Nurse Jackie Recap 2.12 – Years of Service
We pick up exactly where we left off with Kevin (Dominic Fumusa) walking alongside the car and Jackie (Edie Falco) trying to convince him to get back in. The kids are confused and Fiona (Mackenzie Aledjem) asks Kevin if he is having a temper tantrum. Jackie is fed up and answers that, yes, he is having a tantrum and she slams the gas and leaves him in the middle of nowhere. At home, she is... [Read more]
Nurse Jackie Recap 2.11 – What the Day Brings
Jackie (Edie Falco) and family plan a getaway road trip to the country. During the day leading up to their departure, Jackie puts Zoey (Merritt Wever) in charge, manages to avoid Dr. O’Hara (Eve Best) and Eddie (Paul Schulze), as well as the drug dealer who she stole from last week. She runs into the bathroom upon sight of the drug dealer and puts her stash into a dental floss container... [Read more]
Nurse Jackie Recap 2.10 – Sleeping Dogs
This episode gives a peek into the vulnerability side of Dr. Cooper (Peter Facinelli). We already knew he was a crybaby when it comes to his image, and we are reminded of this in the very beginning as his eyes well up while they cover his posters with a new advertisement. It hurts him so badly that he offers to pay Akalitus (Anna Deavere Smith) for the advertisement to continue. Later,... [Read more]
V Recap 1.12 – Red Sky (Finale)
Lots of double-crossing and surprises were present in this final episode of V Season 1.12. Anna (Morena Bacarrin) is different from what we’ve seen leading up to this;, she is more vulnerable, off of her game and surprisingly emotional. We see the reins of power slip from her grasp and into Lisa’s as the episode ends with Anna screaming bloody murder and Lisa doing the tiny smile that... [Read more]
Nurse Jackie Recap 2.9 – P.O. Box
I find it interesting that Jackie (Edie Falco) spends the episode judging other people because of their secrets when she has the biggest two of all – her addiction, and her affair with Eddie (Paul Schulze). Arguing with Kevin (Dominic Fumusa) about money (or lack thereof) on one hand, and not being able to afford the private school for Fiona (Mackenzie Aladjem) on the other hand is giving... [Read more]
Spartacus: Blood and Sand – Season 1 Review
Bloody, sexy and insanely adult, Spartacus: Blood and Sand was an insane journey into a drama based on an historic event. It was a glorious ménage trois of 300, Caligula and Gladiator mixed together to produce 13 episodes of outstanding writing and character development. The characters, every single one were not only interesting but well acted, I found myself drawn not only to Spartacus... [Read more]
V Recap 1.11 – Fruition
I swear Anna (Morena Baccarin) gets scarier and scarier every episode and it is becoming quite clear that she is the type of leader that will sacrifice anyone in order to realize her goals. Lisa’s (Laura Vandervoot) wounds from her mother’s assault are a sad thing to witness as her pretty face now holds the letter V carved into her right cheek by a blade, her face battered and legs broken.... [Read more]
Nurse Jackie Recap 2.8 – Monkey Bits
Fiona’s (Mackenzie Aladjem) busted lip is the opener of this episode and she is oblivious to the fact that her 2nd grade teacher is concerned about it. He grills her in an attempt to get her to admit that she’s been abused and an unknowing Fiona confesses that she was not taken to the doctor for her stitches and that they were done in the kitchen. The teacher is convinced and Jackie... [Read more]
V Recap 1.10 – Hearts and Minds
Hobbes (Charles Meshure) is becoming more of a player than his standard background antics as he helps Jack (Joel Gretsch) and Ryan (Morris Chestnut) rig a Sidewinder missile launcher with Visitor technology. Why would he do such a thing you ask? Well it turns out that Ryan’s on-board friend has sent some important info that Anna (Morena Bacarrin) is pissed about losing her soldier and plans... [Read more]
Nurse Jackie Recap 2.7 – Silly String
Finally Kevin (Dominic Fumusa) speaks up about his hidden issues with Jackie (Edie Falco) always being distant while he plays Mr. Mom. While he knows there’s something going on with her, he cannot put his finger on it, so he battles her on how she handled Fiona (Mackenzie Aladjem) busting open her lip. He wanted to take her to urgent care and she wanted to stitch her up in the kitchen,... [Read more]
V Recap 1.9 – Heretic’s Fork
Starting off where the last episode left off, Hobbes (Charles Meshure), Jack(Joel Gretsch) and Erica (Elizabeth Mitchell) are still questioning the assassin on why he a human was killing off other humans along with visitor Fifth Column members to where he reveals that his family was in danger if he didn’t carry out the assassinations. Ryan(Morris Chestnut) and Valerie(Lourdes Benedicto)... [Read more]
Nurse Jackie Recap 2.6 – Bleeding
Scene opens with Jackie (Edie Falco) laying in Eddie’s (Paul Schulze) bed. It’s obviously morning as Eddie is in his boxers as he brings her coffee just the way she likes it. As he laid there next to her, he wants to discuss how her day will be with her family in an attempt to get to know that side of her. She indulges him a bit then tells him it’s too weird to discuss her kids and... [Read more]
