CW
If you’ve been reading any of my past reviews for The Vampire Diaries, you’ll know my largest complaint is that the Salvatore brothers always think they know what’s best for Elena and will go to any extreme to push it on her.

'Bates Motel' 1.01 "Pilot" Review

A&E

When I’d finished watching the pilot episode of A&E’s Bates Motel, I was at a loss as to how to take what had been shown so far. Here we have a series that takes the story most of us know, that of Norman Bates and his mother Norma who both put a whole new meaning to the term ‘momma’s boy in the classic Alfred Hitchcock film ‘Psycho’, and puts it into a modern setting. But there’s a little more to the story than that and what Bates Motel seems to be is the ultimate what-if experiment. Take a classic story change the setting and add a few more variables plus do it at a more formative age for the famed antagonist then step back to see what happens.

'Once Upon A Time' 216 "The Miller's Daughter" Review

ABC

 There comes a point where, as a viewer, you have to decide how much faith you’re going to put into a show to deliver the shocks it’s been promising. #OneWillDie was even a hash tag thrown around on Twitter and it referenced the fact that tonight’s episode would consist of a death in Storybrooke that would ‘change everything’.
