Revolution: The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia

"Your mom told me to take care of you so I figured I'd drag you in front of a nuclear weapon. Pack your crap."

One of the best compliments I can give Revolution is that I'm starting to get tremendously excited for new episodes every week. The show just keeps improving.

Dark Angel: Cold Comfort

"I’d spit on you, but it’d be a waste of good saliva."

Now that was awesome.

Dark Angel: Prodigy

"What the mind can conceive, the body can achieve."

Dark Angel continues to defy my expectations beautifully.

Nikita: Broken Home

"Not everyone can be saved."

How was this not the season finale?

Dark Angel: 411 on the DL

"Because a raindrop fell in the ocean 10,000 years ago and a butterfly farted in India, you and I are sitting right here right now enjoying a cup of coffee that tastes like goat piss."

Well, this show sure ain't slowing down.

Nikita: Masks

"How do you like my new lair?"

Division's a mess and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Revolution: The Song Remains The Same

"No one's a good guy."

Ever since Revolution returned from its four month hiatus, I've been consistently amazed by how impressively the show has reshuffled its status quo. After all, that's what makes a serialized story so exciting and gripping.

Nikita: Tipping Point

"Honey, I'm an expert in making people do things with a gun to their head."

Woah. I don't know about the rest of you but that was one incredible twist.

Revolution: Ghosts

"Most people don't have the power to hand you a continent."

Who else feels like they just watched an episode of Lost? The revelatory flashbacks, the sudden last minute reveals with the screeching musical score - of course it helps that Lost's very own Juliette is the one dropping the bombshells!

Dark Angel: C.R.E.A.M.

"A genetically-engineered killing machine... squeamish about guns?"

I'm not usually a fan of standalone episodes but this was admittedly entertaining in a disposable sort of way.

Revenge: Masquerade

"You're right, it's just a seasonal trifle. Not unlike yourself."

I've always defended Revenge when critics were quick to call it a soap opera. Sadly, I feel I can no longer denounce that claim.

Nikita: Inevitability

"We don't trust the government. Weird, right?"

Things are getting quite messy on Nikita, and I couldn't be happier.

Dark Angel: Flushed

"Supposed to be a revved-up girl. Truth is I'm a lemon."

This is a dark, disturbing episode; it's so effective that I often dread rewatching it.

Revolution: The Stand

"We have light, we have power, we have everything. It's time to let everyone know it. "

I think Revolution just turned into a great show.

Revenge: Victory

"In the art of war, if you know your enemy and you know yourself, you need not fear the approaching battles."

Well, at least this was an improvement over last week's misfire.

666 Park Avenue: Lazarus

"There is a price to pay for the thing we want the most."

And we're finally done! It's unfortunate really but even though the series finale has come and gone, I won't miss 666 Park Avenue one bit. This was one catastrophic disaster of a show.

Revenge: Illumination

"I can handle anybody who operates in subterfuge, present company included."

I'm not sure how I felt about this one. It had some intriguing elements, but it just never really came together as an exciting, cohesive whole.

Nikita: The Life We've Chosen

"They believe I'm responsible for a massacre... or two."

This season is on fire.

666 Park Avenue: The Elysian Fields

"Stop acting like you're in some western."

Oh lord, that was utterly groan-worthy. You'd think 666 Park Avenue would be bringing out the big guns now that it's been cancelled but this was a particularly horrendous hour of television.

Revenge: Retribution

"How did I get so far off track?"

Indeed, Emily. Sometimes I feel like Revenge is a shadow of its former self. Season two has had some admittedly great moments here and there but as a whole, it's been a convoluted mess - annoying conspiracies, redundant double-crosses, mindless subplots and a whole lot of treading water.
