The guy's definitely gone overboard. The proof? He got out of bed to continue his Veritas and Traveler hunts despite the searing pain that all of those post-slashing chest stitches—at least 100—must have caused him. His emotional drive overcame his physical pain. (Even druggie Dr. Gregory House wouldn't have enough Vicodin to quell that discomfort.) [...]

Have you ever faced the problem of being at work and obsessing about a coworker's tongue—being in your mouth? It's a conundrum that could happen only on "Grey's Anatomy." That's what Meredith was going through, even when she and McDreamy were injecting a virus into a guy's brain. Must have been tough concentrating about both [...]

He done good last night, no? How does one go about directing himself? I'm no Steven Spielberg, but as far as I could tell, Tom did a darn good job of doing exactly that in last night's episode, especially since he was in so many of the scenes. Perhaps we have another Ron Howard on [...]

It was great to have Miranda Bailey back to her inimitable, no-nonsense self last night. Her sass is one reason we love her. It's another reason we love Cristina, but that girl has turned into a major wimp, what with all her sucking up to Hahn. It's painful to watch. Had Cristina [...]

A frightening thought, right? But that's what happens tonight on "Smallville," on the Tom Welling-directed episode "Apocalypse." Fueled by his guilt over his belief that Smallville would have been better off without him and that he inadvertently caused of the deaths of Jonathan, Lionel and that Swann chick, Jor-El arranges for Clark to see what [...]

Just when I thought of a great name for Meredith and Derek as a couple —  along the lines of Bennifer and TomKat —  they're broken up. Here it is: Deredith. Great, right? Anyway, I'm glad the two of them have split. Mer's whining was grating on my nerves and eardrums. And, not being a big fan [...]

A long time—way too long—has passed since the Seattle Grace gang checked into our TV sets. In tonight's installment, "Where the Wild Things Are," it's been six weeks since (the producers' way of acknowleging the strike) Derek and Meredith ended (thank goodness) their dopey, whiney and dysfunctional relationship and Der starting dating nurse Rose (right).

Elsewhere, [...]

Due to circumstances beyond my control (I changed residences, the insouciant cable guy didn't hook up everything properly, etc.), I couldn't watch last week's ep, called "Descent," until last night.

And gee, Lex is one hurtin' psycho. Killing his father via a 40-story window toss, doing away with the imaginary younger version of himself by throwing [...]

So yesterday I posted that it would be great if some humor was injected into Kara's attempt to teach Clark how to fly. One of my scenarios was that they'd be in the barn's loft during the lesson and it wouldn't turn out well. He's jump out fall flat on his face (though unhurt, of [...]

The word is out. The double issue of "TV Guide" arrived in my mailbox yesterday, spilling the beans on what will happen next on shows that had been crippled by the writers' strike. The next new "Grey's" debuts April 24, says "TVG," and sparks will fly.

Creator Shonda Rhimes explains that, in a nod to the [...]

The episode that ran last Thursday was a vast improvement over the cookie-cutter one from the week before. And Tom Welling sure had it easy: He hardly had any lines to learn; he just had to do a good job of pretending to writhe in pain—just as I writhed in pain at the site of [...]

This evening's installment finds Lionel turning into a baddie again by having Clark kidnapped and holding him in a kryptonte-lined cell at a Luthorcorp facility. Chloe and Lana then find a military electric probe at the the Kent farm and confront Lionel, who then throws suspicion on Lex, who may, for once, not be the [...]

Seems to me that "Smallville" producers Al Gough and Miles Millar need a new challenge. Last night's episode was so blah—and dopey—that these guys are obviously bored with the show.

The premise of Pete being envious of Clark and his heroic capabilities was already done, a few years ago when Pete got his hands on some [...]

Thought you'd seen the last of Clark's best bud after he fled to his mom's in Topeka to avoid getting beaten up again for knowing Clark's secret? Wrong! Pete Ross is back this week, in "Hero," when Kara and Jimmy go to a concert by the real-life band One Republic (who?) and Pete turns out [...]

Ya know how they talk about the infamous 7-year itch when it comes to marriage? Seems like the syndrome is also hitting the cast of "Smallville." "TV Guide's" Michael Ausiello says that now that her contract is ending, Kristin Kreuk won't be returning next season as a series regular. That's fine with me. Her up, [...]

I though the most recent installment of "Smallville" wasn't even close to being one of its best. We already knew that young Lex's head was messed up by meanie Lionel (and even Lillian! I thought she was suppose to have been a nice mom!), which is why he's such a scorpion now. So, really, what [...]

On the Feb. 14 installment, intrepid and nosy Lois follows Lex to Detroit, where he finds Kara all amnesia-ed out. (How he tracked her to the Motor City is anyone's guess—just like he found Lana on the other end of the Earth by using a voice recognition device (yeah, right!) from a satellite in space. [...]

Can you say "awkward"? That's what Lana and Clark felt in last night's ep when he joined her in the Kent farm kitchen and she said a stiff "Good morning" and he replied with a stilted "Hi." Things got really unpleasant when Clark pointed out that she told Bizarro Clark (BC) that she loved him [...]

Our tiny town has a new visitor tonight, in the form of a woman masquerading as a fine feathered friend. Well, she doesn't sport actual feathers, but she does wear an outfit that—per usual in America and especially Hollywood—flaunts a woman's body. The get-up comes complete with a plunging neckline, fishnet stockings, short shorts and [...]

Those of us battling "Grey's" withdrawal can rest a bit easy. "TV Guide" insider Michael Ausiello reports that should the writers' strike end this week, there's an excellent chance that Mer, Der and the rest of the Seattle Grace gang will be back on the set early next month.

Don't assume, however, that we'll [...]
