My Take on…GLEE’s S2 premiere

When GLEE left us in the spring, a baby was born, a new relationship was solidified, and Shelby left town with her second chance baby named Beth.  New Directions was dealt an almost deadly blow in the form of a third place finish at Regionals.  Thanks to some quick thinking and a little show of heart from Sue Sylvester, the gang got to stay together and there was much rejoicing. When S2 starts, it’s a new school year.  Gone are

My Take On….CASTLE’s S3 premiere

We left season 2 of CASTLE with our hero and heroine Beckett finally facing up to the fact that there is more between them than a partnership of the professional persuasion.  What we saw happen, instead of an impromptu make out session,was Castle intentionally finding the comfort of another lady, in a chivalric way, to give Beckett the space that she realized she no longer wanted, as she broke up with her lovely boyfriend (miss you already Michael Trucco) to
