The Good Wife is pulling like 1.5 in the 18-49 demo. Critical prestige doesn't really matter to a network unless it boosts ratings. Sadly the Good Wife is a bubble show at best. It helps though that Hostages completely flopped.

If we can't get our Elsbeth spin-off, can she maybe join Alicia's new firm? Series regular for (an improbable) Season 6?

Are you kidding me? Mulan was going to tell Aurora that she had feelings for AURORA, not Phillip. Your inability to grasp a canon lesbian character revelation = your grade is invalid. This was an A- for being the best episode in a long time.

The Adventures of Asami and Mako. An industrial magnate and her idiot-cop platonic friend solve crimes. Zhu Li also stars as the computer-whiz IT girl.

Katie Cassidy was never in The Secret Circle, that was Britt Robertson. Cassidy was in Supernatural Season 3 as the original and by-far superior Ruby, Season 4 of Gossip Girl where her character was really good, the Melrose Place reboot I never saw, Harper's Island on…

No? ALCS Division game between Detroit and Oakland was on TBS at 8 PM last night. TBBT was only on at 7 PM on TBS, and then 8 PM on CBS, so no direct airing competition this Thursday at least.

It's difficult to tell if he's supposed to be a bad guy or not. The show never celebrated their reunion, and there is the whole "why risk your life for someone who doesn't believe in you" thing, but we just haven't really seen her father. He could be damaged, weak, and simply unfit to help Alice, instead sending her…

The scary thing is that with all the NSA stuff, the machine basically DOES exist in the real world. I definitely see your point though. You should understand though that the Machine from POI is largely invisible, self-contained, and doesn't really interact with anyone.…

Can we spin-off Clyde from Elementary with Bear from Person of Interest? CAN YOU DO THE IMPOSSIBLE, CBS?

"My life is not that weird. Staged suicide obviously, nobody sticks their head in the oven anymore. Shut up"

You know what they say: you don't have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun the rest of NBC's comedies.

I had to quit that show. Mellie and Cyrus were the only characters I could stand watching. I would be happy to watch the Mellie and Cyrus comedy hour, which would make great scheduling companions with the Regina and Rumple comedy hour from OUAT.

So…… a make-up grade for the harsh C+ last week?

I thought this was pretty great. Alice kicks some serious ass. The Red Queen looked amazing in the promos, but we haven't really gotten much of anything out of her yet. I'll reserve judgment on the Red Queen, Jafar, and Cyrus until we get more scenes with them. This was better than either episode of OUAT S3 so far.

I am excited for PAGET BREWSTER!

I think I read an interview somewhere where Berlanti said that in Season 1 Oliver is the Hood, in Season 2 Oliver is Arrow, and in Season 3 Oliver finally becomes Green Arrow. So I guess for now he will go by Arrow, not Green Arrow.

I see her more as Lady Shiva

You should start from the beginning, but the first 4 episodes or so are iffy if you want to skip ahead a bit.
