Spartacus: Blood and Sand, Season 1: Episode 6 – “Delicate Things”
Written by Tracy Bellomo & Andrew Chambliss
Directed by Rick Jacobson
Originally aired February 26th, 2010 on Starz
While Ashur tries to push Batiatus into acting quickly at the news of Barca’s apparent betrayal, he tells his dominus that “When a man is pressed, lies flow with greater ease.” Daggers and deceit seem to run rampant in Spartacus, and not just in the Roman storylines. If the slaves are learning anything from their masters, it’s how to twist the tongue to their own ends.
Spartacus, our hero, is not exempt from the tactics. With newly-earned street cred., Spartacus uses the attention he receives to shape an elaborate escape fantasy for when his wife arrives to Capua. Part of that web is extending an invitation to the magistrate’s son to visit Batiatus’ villa so that Spartacus can gain access to an easily-concealable (and,...

The 100 is a newer CW show that has found moderate success as a mid-season series. Now we see Eliza Taylor and Isaiah Washington working on the successful series. We have the official promo stills for their next episode, “We Are Grounders – Part 1″. The episode will find a part of the Ark in trouble, with the others realizing what their lives are really like and the chances of it improving is slim. You can find the official stills down below. Here is the official description of the episode.
Should We Stay Or Should We Go — Clarke (Eliza Taylor) and Finn (Thomas McDonell) escape one dangerous situation only to find themselves faced with a new enemy.

Spartacus Vengeance – Episode 3: The Greater Good
Stars: Liam McIntyre, Peter Mensah, Manu Bennett, Viva Bianca, Craig Parker, Katrina Law, Tom Hobbs, Hanna Mangan-Lawrence, Luke Pegler, Lucy Lawless, Dan Feuerriegel, Nick Tarabay, Cynthia Addai-Robinson | Written by Tracy Bellomo | Directed by Brendan Maher
Spartacus: Vengeance is a show with layers, at first glance it’s a men only entertainment, full of nudity, sex and graphic violence; but as the story progresses we get a hint of what these characters would be like in a less violent world. Yes, there’s still plenty of sex, nudity and violence, but they just emphasise what a brutish world the characters live in.
Spartacus and crew continue their search for Naevia, in the process freeing more slaves, and Agron shows he has leadership potential as he pushes for a move to the more defendable Vesuvius. Relationships are evolving for everyone in this episode: Agron sees...

Just a few updates today, but they're fun.
Grimm premiered to surprisingly strong ratings last night (6.5 million viewers, 2.1 million in the 18-49 demo), or as NBC puts it in the press release, the "largest non-sports 18-49 audience on the night by any network since last year's "New Year's Rockin' Eve" on ABC (2.8 rating)."
What makes this news particularly great is that the show aired opposite the most watched baseball game in the last seven years, and after one of the lowest rated episodes of Chuck ever (the show hit a series low in the key demo, according to TV by the Numbers).
NBC is re-airing the Grimm pilot tonight at 9 pm and the episode will also be shown on Syfy this Tuesday at 7 pm.
Here is the synopsis for next Friday's episode, "Bears Will Be Bears:"
A barbaric family history is revealed when Nick and Hank investigate a case of breaking and entering.

Episode Title: "The Hollow Men"
Written By: Michele Fazekas, Tara Butters & Tracy Bellomo
Synopsis: The master plan to imprint humanity reveals itself as each member of the resistance learns the truth about Boyd Langton (Harry Lennix). His desire to recruit each member of the Dollhouse team (because he loves them) doesn't go over so well, leading to a violent struggle spearheaded by Echo (Eliza Dushku). Ultimately, lives are lost on both sides of the war, resulting in an explosive climax.
The Head of the Lollipop Guild: I have to admit that a bit of my enthusiasm over the Boyd reveal got curbed as this episode played along. His poker face around the others was brilliant, filled with one-liners that the characters missed but the audience fully understood. But when his true intentions were revealed, he suddenly became a very sloppy villain. For somebody that so expertly masked himself for all of these episodes,...

Episode Titles: "The Public Eye" & "The Left Hand"
Written By: Andrew Chambliss / Tracy Bellomo
Synopsis: Senator Daniel Perrin (Alexis Denisof) continues his investigation into the Rossum Corporation, but what he finds — and what the Dollhouse crew expects — turns out to be drastically more deadly and life-changing than he could have ever imagined.
In light of the revelation that Perrin isn't who he thinks he is, the senator finds an unlikely ally in Echo (Eliza Dushku) as the two attempt to escape the clutches of the D.C. branch of the Dollhouse — but beyond the authorities looking to recapture them, Perrin and Echo must contend with the brilliant Bennett Halverson (Summer Glau), the D.C. Dollhouse's technician who has a score to settle with Echo.
The Rossum Candidate: The reveal that Senator Daniel Perrin, the man leading the charge against Rossum and the Dollhouse, is in fact a doll himself was pretty darn cool.

Dollhouse Episode 1.8 "Needs" Written By: Tracy Bellomo Directed By: Felix Acala Original Airdate: 3 April 2009 In This Episode… In the middle of the night, our main Dolls start glitching – bad. Echo wakes up and forces her way out of her pod. Her roommates follow suit – Sierra, Victor, Mellie (whose Doll name is November, so for consistency's sake, I will refer to her as such), and a new guy, Mike (who is basically the equivalent to a Red Shirt Guy in Star Trek – he is quickly reprogrammed and taken out of the equation). All the Dolls have their original personalities but none of their original memories, other than vague...
