'Nashville' season finale: Every kind of cliffhanger
1 hour ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Spoiler alert! If you haven’t watched Nashville’s season 1 finale, stop reading now. We’re going to break down the cliffhangers, of which there are many.
• Rayna and Deacon were in a serious car accident. Predictably on a scale of 1 to 10: 9.5. I deducted .5 only because I originally thought Deacon — who fell off the wagon (and rolled off a cliff) after hearing Maddie’s theory that he was her father confirmed by Rayna — would be behind the wheel. Instead, Rayna succeeded in convincing him to let her drive them away from the intimate Bluebird memorial for Juliette’s mother, »

'Nashville' season finale: Everyone's alive, everyone's a mess
1 hour ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"Nashville" ended its first season in a mess. Webs are tangled. The sins of the fathers -- and mothers -- come back to haunt everyone. And almost everything falls apart.
"I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive" is a great season finale.
Deacon and Rayna
If you'd been wondering why two people as in love as Rayna (Connie Britton) and Deacon (Charles Esten) would ever break up, this season finale explained it in simple terms: Deacon is a mean drunk.
Maddie (Lennon Stella), having figured out her questionable paternity breaks the news to her biological father. And Deacon reacts in the only way he knows how -- after questioning and yelling at Rayna, the bender begins.
Everyone tries to snap Deacon out of it, and it almost seems to work. For about a minute. And then the guitarist is back on the sauce and ready to yell at Rayna some more. »

'Criminal Minds' finale: Erin Strauss falls victim to Mark Hamill's Replicator
2 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
In the "Criminal Minds" Season 8 finale, the identity of The Replicator was revealed -- Mark Hamill guest-starred as Agent John Curtis, an FBI agent who screwed up on the Amerithrax case and was demoted.
He blamed Bau and more specifically Alex Blake. He's been taking his revenge on the team all season. In the finale, he drugged Strauss and forced her to drink, killing her. She was on to him, unbeknownst to the others, so Curtis had to take her out.
But it was her quick thinking that clued the team into his identity, as he carved a figure 8 into her wrist -- which was a planted clue in a Doj report that wasn't actually a replication of anything. The team tracked him down to his Virginia compound, where Rossi managed to get Curtis trapped with his own explosives, taking him out.
The team buried and honored Strauss and now »

Nashville‘s Rayna Jaymes, I’m mad at you.
This episode’s unpleasantness could’ve been avoided if, at some point in the past 13 years, you had taken Deacon aside and told him the truth: He’s the father of your older daughter, and you kept mum until you were sure he was ready (and sober) enough to handle that tough reality.

'Modern Family' Season 4 finale: 'Goodnight, Gracie' ends with a Dunphy funeral
4 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
It takes a self-assured comedy to end a season with a funeral for a character the audience has never met, which is exactly what "Modern Family" does. Wrapping up its fourth season on Wednesday (May 22), the ABC sitcom remains one of TV's most watched comedies, knowing that, at this point in its run, it can do just about whatever it darn well pleases.
So, the show kills off Grandma Gracie Dunphy, a character we've never met and therefore find little to be moved by with her death. Or so it would seem. At the onset of the episode, as the entire Dunphy-Pritchett clan descends upon Florida to mourn, not even the woman's son or husband seem that torn up about their loss. True, Claire (Julie Bowen) has an aside in the cold open about the death not being unexpected, but the lack of palpable grief from Phil (Ty Burrell) or »

Say what you want about Season 12 of American Idol, but a critical look back at the trajectories of winner Candice Glover and runner-up Kree Harrison paints a picture of two women who delivered as many memorable musical moments as any contestants in recent history. At least that’s what my cohost Melinda Doolittle and I are arguing in the most shocking season finale of Idology ever*. (*Last phrase should be delivered in the voice of The Bachelor‘s Chris Harrison.)

Swapping the sunshine of California for the humidity of Florida, the Dunphy-Pritchett clan gathered down South for Phil’s mother’s funeral. What ensued was a lot of exaggerated stereotypes, even more sweating, and a few tender moments.
Jay spent the episode reconnecting with the woman who swiped his V card back in the days before Vietnam (who happened to live next door to Phil’s dad), while Cam met up with the elderly ladies of book club, where he perfected his gossiping skills.

Jj Abrams has taken some heat about a scene in Star Trek Into Darkness where Kirk (Chris Pine) gets a quick look at Dr. Carol Marcus (Alice Eve) in her underwear. Answering to charges of sexism on Conan, Abrams said he thought the scene was a trade-off because Kirk also shows some skin — and then the filmmaker revealed a cut scene of Benedict Cumberbatch (who plays the villainous Khan) showering.
