An insane muralist with a desire to glue and sew really pretty multi-colored bodies into a human eye that can be viewed bird's-eye style from an oculus of a corn silo… can only be a logline for Hannibal.

The Walking Dead: Alone
Sasha: “We get warnings.”
The titles of the episodes always mean something but this week the title hit home more than usual. While an apocalypse is no picnic being alone in one is not only terrifying and dangerous but also a terrible weight on the soul.
Teen Wolf: De-Void
‘De-void’ definitely required the viewer to keep up to date with what’s been happening over the past few weeks. In that regard, it’s a massive reward to those of us who’ve been glued to the show since the start of this incredible stretch of episodes.
The X-Files: F. Emasculata
Case: Two prisoners cleaning out the cell of a dead convict have escaped, and since this would not normally be an FBI job, it seems there's more to the case than meets the eye.Destination: Dinwiddie County, Virginia
Once Upon a Time: New York City Serenade
The reset of ‘Going Home’ has breathed new life into the series in a way that I never thought it could. The characters’ new circumstances make everything feel fresh and exciting, and the restructuring of the show’s mythology makes the total failure of this season’s opening arc nothing more than a painful, and incredibly boring, memory.
True Detective: Form and Void
It’s possible to see this episode as Christian (Catholic variety). It’s possible to see this episode as faithful but non-denominational. And it’s possible to see this episode as nothing more than Rust Cohle’s latest wacky philosophizing providing an unnecessary commentary on a tense situation. I’m choosing to see it as a meditation on the nature of mankind as articulated by a person who knows he is suffering from the “language virus” (as described in “The Locked Room”) of mystical Catholicism, but has no desire to find a cure.

Vampire Diaries: Gone Girl
“She knows.”
Most of TVD’s titles are drawn from pop culture: books, songs, movies, etc. This week’s title, “Gone Girl,” is no exception. And while I suspect it’s just a cute title with no more relevance to Gillian Flynn’s 2012 best-seller than last week’s title had to French existentialism, it’s interesting to consider how a story of two sociopaths attempting to outwit each other has some relevance for our current arc.
Once...in Wonderland: Nothing to Fear
‘Home’ gave Wonderland an opportunity to make the story that’s being told a lot more exciting. The power plays, dynamics and mythology were almost upended, so the big question with ‘Nothing to Fear’ was whether or not it dropped the ball in the face of all that.
