Arrow 1.7: So Oliver can almost run fast enough to chase down a motorcycle? Uhm...no. Actually, that alone makes everything else look realistic. Also, this show is determined to get an actor from every genre show ever to show up.

Beauty and the Beast 1.7: Kind of bored by Vincent's angst (and sad at the return of the implication that Catherine has some responsibility for his behavior) but deeply amused by the fact that his shower apparently has random chains hanging in it. Vincent, why do you have chains in your shower? Or are they JT's? Still loving all things buddycops, and I enjoy this week's Dude In Distress bit.
Elementary 1.8: This week's mystery was prtty good, but I mostly enjoyed Holmes's excursions into Denial Land and Watson's exasperated expressions over it. Also, I have no idea if Alfredo is meant to be recurring, but I hope he is.
Haven 3.10: Don't know how I feel about this one. (Mostly on the Jordan front.)

Nikita 3.5:

Once Upon A Time 2.8:

Person of Interest 2.8: This episode was fabulous for Carter's expressions. And I can't help but think it was originally scripted to be a Valentine's episode.

Revolution 1.10: QAnd now we have a 4 month hiatus.

The Paradise Series 1: Based on a book by Emile Zola and altered to be British, The Paradise is set in a Victorian department store (though the series sometimes has more of an Edwardian feel) of the same name, focusing on a shopgirl, Denise, and her employer, Moray. For a large chunk of the series, the focus is divided between Denise and the other women who work in Lady's Wear and Denise learning about business (in the first episode, she tells one of her roommates, Pauline, that contrary to Pauline's beliefs, she doesn't have a crush on Moray, but rather, that dhe wants to become her own version of him. True at the time, and I wish they'd stuck with that as the driving force of her arc so that I could have daydreams of her leaving and starting her own successful business and poaching the other women in Lady's Wear when she did.) and Moray's plan for expansion and ambitions, as well as his courtship of Katherine (probably the most complex and interesting character in the series), an aristocrat with an influential (and rich) father whose support Moray is after. I'm not a big fan of Moray and the latter episodes are (IMO) bogged down by a romance that doesn't feel necessary, but it was pretty good and should satisfy most peoples fashion and ,female interaction/relationships needs, and the setting is certainly different from other UK period dramas. A second series has been commissioned and I'm looking forward to it, though I imagine it will be very different in a number of ways.
