Being Human (US) 2.9: "When I Think About You, I Shred Myself"
By John Keegan
The producers warned us that the season was going to get more intense, and they certainly weren’t kidding. A number of situations take a decidedly ugly turn in this episode, challenging expectations and reminding us that this is a show that is enjoying a creative high point.

By John Keegan
“The River” takes a step back from the psychological horrors of the previous episode and turns to something a bit more familiar to genre fans in this installment. I would call this the “Resident Evil episode”, because that was precisely what was coming to mind from the start. And given my usual lack of enthusiasm for zombie stories (closer to loathing, actually), I was surprised at how well this episode worked for me.

By John Keegan and Gregg Wright
I think it's safe to say that this season hasn't been as impressive, overall, as I'd hoped it would be. There have been some high points, to be sure, but the bulk of the drama unfolding at the farm has been disappointingly bland and underwhelming.

By John Keegan and Paul Pearson
This installment comes across as a bit innocuous, a low-key story compared to the Wham! moments of "Vexed" and just what's needed to keep things moving in a fun little show like "Lost Girl". A good old fashioned Fae holiday, combined with a chance for the show's ensemble darkhorse to spread her wings a little, certainly doesn't disappoint.

By John Keegan
Because nothing happens without purpose in a season of “Spartacus”, unless the real world intervenes, all that tension between the rebel factions was going to bubble to the surface before long. With Agron feeling more and more on the outside, especially with Oenomeus back in the fold, it was almost inevitable that he would rescue a large group of his own people over Gauls. And it takes no time at all for them to get out of Agron’s control.

By John Keegan
When it comes to fleshing out a relatively standard story involving a semi-obsessed “girlfriend” who wants to take out the competition, one can do a lot worse than to cast Danielle Panabaker as a fire-dancing stripper. It left me wishing, on some level, that she could stick around as a supporting character for a while, especially since they dropped the ball on what could have been a perfect opportunity to pull Juliette into the fold.

By John Keegan and Henry Tran
The second episode of this show establishes how the concept will work on a weekly basis. Detective Britten is going to solve a pair of cases with at least one tie-in between them. There are apparently going to be ongoing revelations about the Britten family that show how they are coping with the loss of one of its members.

By John Keegan and Henry Tran
Robert Quarles tried to pull off something that would makes things real complicated for his two chief opponents. There were mixed results that followed. For a time, all of the investigations converged towards Raylan, with the very real possibility that he might be booted from the Marshal Service.

By John Keegan and Gregg Wright
This episode is fighting an uphill battle from the start. It comes right after a pretty significant change in the status quo, but conceptually it's an episode that could almost have been put anywhere in the season. This is the episode that should deal with the aftermath of Gwen's infidelity and banishment.
