This season has been a little more up and down in quality than I expected it to be, but I still think that the recent hiccups are going to be the exceptions to the rule. "Worse Case Scenario" may be a bit of an average installment, but it's loaded with the typical "Eureka" fun, and also offers up some satisfying developments in the myth-arc department. The season is still lacking a clear sense of direction, and is mostly concerned with continuing to deal with the fallout from the Matrix incident, but considering the usual length of "Eureka" seasons, we're still fairly early into this one.

As American Idol enters its two-night season finale, producer Nigel Lythgoe made time to speak with a few journalists and shared his thoughts on the final showdown between Jessica Sanchez and and Phillip Phillips. 
Syfy's hit documentary-reality series, Hollywood Treasure, returns tonight for a second season of all new hour long episodes. Collectibles expert and owner of Profiles in History, Joe Maddalena, stars. Each week he and his crew will travel the world searching for rare Hollywood memorabilia to sell at auction.
It's all been leading up to something. Last season ended with a violent regime change and the outbreak of war. Season 2 has delivered a similar slow boil approach, likely saving the most dramatic events for the final two episodes of the season. So here we are, in the calm before the storm. But what form will that storm take? Will it be the climactic siege of King's Landing that I'm so eagerly hoping for? Or will the final two episodes unveil something far more unexpected? Perhaps both?
This well-named and well-made episode is just the kind of thing "Lost Girl" needs after a rocky opening to the second season. There's no flashback wigs and bad accents, and no lazy use of old storytelling devices: instead, "Better to Burn Out Than Fae Away" puts the emphasis on the characters, on prodding and probing at the world of the Fae and on providing a solid hour of fun television.
Considering that the entire season has been leading to a confrontation between Nick, his Grimm status, and key figures in his professional and personal lives, it's been an open prediction that all of it would come crashing together in the season finale. In fact, it was so telegraphed that anything less would be disappointing. So how did the writers manage to wrap up this uneven first season?
Coming into this season finale, I had two expectations: first, that the Leviathan plot arc would be resolved, and second, that Bobby would be shuffled off into the great beyond once and for all. Both took place in this episode, but I can't say that the execution was up to the usual level of "Supernatural" excellence.
We are now in the middle section of a three-part trilogy of episodes to end this series. Judging a middle section of such a trilogy (whether it be movies or something else) is a notoriously difficult thing to do. If "Say Hello to My Little Friend" was the kickoff to Michael's pursuit of what happened in the accident, then this episode serves as the escalation to those events.
As the season finale of “Once Upon A Time” swirled around me, I kept being reminded of Paint-by-Numbers. Those simulations of creativity that, if slavishly followed, may produce a copy of a masterpiece, but one devoid of the original’s style, verve, and soul. The show hit major plot points, paid off long-simmering threads, but too much of it left me cold and unsatisfied.
