Last season’s finales left us with big changes in many drama series, so as we pick those up in this season’s premieres, our favourite characters are probably making some transitions and adjustments. The Vampire Diaries is always good for some plot twists, and the fact that Stefan turned out to be a doppelganger for Silas…

Fall TV 2012: Week Two/Three – Returning Drama
Most dramas these days like to end a season with some kind of climax or cliffhanger. While I can’t say that I spent the summer waiting with bated breath for any epic conclusions, it was nice to see some of those story threads tied up; and to see what kinds of lasting changes might have…
TV Red Light, Green Light 2011

Fall TV 2010 – New Drama
In a year with so many simultaneous premieres, and new series going up against old favourites for survival, there’s bound to be some quick casualties. In fact, there have already been two series gone after only two episodes. I can’t say that I’m in love with any yet, but I guess it’s still early. The…
