Go back and watch them all now.

What new David Mich HBO show?

Renard is thus clearly the royal father's family name, which Sean has taken, probably with his father's consent. It's normal for a royal family name to be different from the historical "crown" name, like English dukes and the like. We won't ever be told which "real" royal family Cronenburg is, since this is fiction,…

And if the reviewer believes it, why did she give the episode a C then?

It did. (Not the third one.)

I tried to give it an A+ but it can't be done.

One small plot point that didn't make too much sense and annoyed me: Renard told Juliette that he couldn't order the plane down once it got over international waters. True enough. You'd think that Eric would have been aware of the danger over US territory and would have planned for the plane to fly west over the…

I keep being surprised by that and rubbing my eyes. Covert Affairs is spending half its time in real European cities now - no way they're faking it. Those are real city streets Annie's in.

Right. But that was precisely when Juliette spoke back forcefully, told them both off, and took charge of her own involvement. That was the moment that - if the writers stay consistent with this - turned things around. (I suspect they may have heard the criticisms last year and this is their response. We'll see.)…

Part of what's a little strange about this season is that we don't know what caused the estrangement between Katrine and Kasper in the 2 1/2 years between seasons. We got to see the breakdown of Brigitte's marriage in season 2 (although she now seems to have the world's best ex-husband). But not Katrine's. She had…

Todd, you're mistaken: the New Democrats, Brigitte's new party, had nothing to say about clipping pigs' tails, which was strictly according to regulations, although they may have capitalized on the media fuss about it. It was a dominant faction of Svend Age's own Freedom Party who were concerned with that. The New…

I note that Grimm has not been dignified with a "TV Review" overview. That's a shame.

I don't think she's unbearable at all. Everyone was getting properly annoyed last year that Juliette was being presented as a mindless moony bimbo, when she's supposed to be a skilled veterinarian. Well, in this episode, she's the one who comes up with the technique for bottling and releasing the antidote mixture…

"outside of Neal’s prevue". Prevue? I'm wondering if you meant "purview"?

I find it hard to accept Diane lying to Peter for Mozzie and letting him off the Teddy Winters hook like that, even if he did help her give birth. I could maybe see her letting him make a run for it to disappear from the scene once Neal gets there and/or getting to hospital, but not actively conspiring with him to…

As Neal told Hagen "If I could find and get a confession from my father, I wouldn't need you". So once he and Mozzie forge that confession, why *does* he need Hagen? I suppose he wouldn't want a non-complicit Hagen claiming that the confession was forged to his friend the judge - is that it?

TWO centuries. It made no sense at all. But it was great, as in "What will they think of next?".

Yes, it's weird that she isn't used more. I think I've seen her in only one other show since the demise of The West Wing, and I can't remember what that was. Maybe a trashy movie.

They're OK. I don't see what all the fuss is about.

I'm Neilson later this month. It'll be there. But I'm not 18-49, so it won't help much.
