10 Thoughts on Quantico: “God” — Nov. 1, 2015

ByElaine G. Flores, Chief Editor

Quantico is a glorious cocktail. Take one part Melrose Place add one part Homeland, shake, garnish with How to Get Away with Murder and voilà — you’ve got a sexy, hilarious mystery. Hot FBI recruits flirt, scheme, hook up and keep secrets as they train to keep America safe. Months later drop-dead gorgeous Alex Parrish is accused of masterminding a terrorist attack and the most conspicuous incognito fugitive works to clear her name and figure out if one of her classmates set her up. Her hair and makeup remain on-point.

Sleepy Hollow: “Dead Men Tell No Tales” — Oct. 29, 2015

ByElaine G. Flores, Chief Editor

Back to the Witness mission, Crane feels guilty; Washington sent him to kill Howe, and he failed. Had Crane succeeded, the war may have ended more quickly. Crane has a lot of guilt issues. What he should feel bad about is Joe Corbin, who arrives at Jenny’s trailer with two bags of groceries. That’s what happens when you are gainfully employed, Crane.

Sleepy Hollow Adds Jessica Camacho as Series Regular

ByElaine G. Flores, Chief Editor

Jessica Camacho, who appeared in the “Blood and Fear” episode, has landed a spot as a series regular. You’ll remember that Sophie stole the Shard of Anubis from Randall Martin and left him cuffed to a shower railing.

Empire’s Lucious — The Devil Made Him Do It

ByElaine G. Flores, Chief Editor

Cookie Lyon took the rap for Lucious and spent 17 years in prison while he used the money from their drug operation to become a music mogul. He didn’t visit her, didn’t give her any credit for Empire’s success and didn’t even put some money in her commissary account so she could afford a Kit-Kat bar or some shea butter. Nobody wants to be peckish and ashy.

Asher (Matt McGorry) and Annalise (Viola Davis) talk in her office on How to Get Away with Murder

14 Thoughts on How to Get Away With Murder: “Meet Bonnie” — Oct. 22, 2015

ByElaine G. Flores, Chief Editor

Miss Shonda doesn’t get enough credit for dropping truth bombs about race, gender, sex and status. There have been some preachy articles about Olivia Pope and Annalise’ Keating’s love lives, but Miss Shonda has deep thoughts. You see it in scenes like Annalise giving Asher some straight talk about his poor-little-rich frat-boy worldview.
