Supernatural, Season 9, Episode 7: “Bad Boys”
Written by Adam Glass
Directed by Kevin Parks
Airs Tuesdays at 9pm (Et) on The CW
Despite spending nine seasons with the Winchester brothers, there are still several aspects of their lives that remain a mystery for audiences, aspects that even Sam and Dean have kept hidden from each other. Despite their best efforts, however, these parts of their lives have often come bubbling up to the surface, due to the sheer nature of the work they do. This week, it’s part of Dean’s hidden past that comes out into the open, in a solid episode that helps deepen the audience’s understanding of the character and the extent to which the love of his brother drives his actions.

”The thrilling and terrifying journey of the Winchester brothers continues as Supernatural enters its ninth season.

Over the years, after dozens of bloody adventures, they have faced everything from the yellow-eyed demon that killed their mother to vampires, ghosts, shapeshifters, Angels and fallen gods. They even came face to face with Lucifer and the Four Horsemen in averting the Apocalypse.

It seems that the writers of Criminal Minds have really stepped up their game this season. This is a kind of episode that's going to keep fans not only coming back for more, but add new viewers to the table.
"Final Shot" gave us an engrossing and mind-warping story about an abusive VP of a private military security firm who, when he couldn't convince his wife to come back to him, wanted her dead instead.
No doubt future episodes will feature Unsubs who somehow forget to take their meds and then go around killing everyone in a fit of fantasy rage. You know... the usual stuff. But this story was electric, and far from the norm.
There was misdirection from the start: a sniper who somehow managed to take twelve shots, but only hit six people, thereby making the team at first think the shooter wasn't all that skilled.

They always say that a hero (or anti-hero in this case) is only as good as his villain. And 'Dexter' has seen his fair share of villains over the course of the show's now 8 year history. Each individual season has boasted a "big bad," a main killer whose story arc is spread across the entire 12 episode run. In season 1, it was the Ice Truck Killer (Christian Camargo). Season 2 was technically Dexter himself as Miami Metro was after the Bay Harbor Butcher. Season 3 gave us Miguel Prado (Jimmy Smits). Season 4 is arguably the biggest of the big bad’s and unanimously a fan favorite the Trinity Killer (John Lithgow). Season 5 was a group of killers led by Jordan Chase (Johnny Lee Miller). Season 6, things got biblical with the Doomsday Killer (Colin Hanks). And last season brought the Ukrainian mob into the equation with Isaak Sirko (Ray Stevenson). And while...

Greg (Eric Szmanda) along with Hodges (Wallace Langham) and Mandy (Sheeri Rappaport) look at a photo of a girl on the web whom Greg states is a Db. saying: "She is not merely dead, she is most sincerely dead." (from The Wizard of Oz..) Nick (George Eads) asks if they're having a slow night and disagrees with Greg telling him everything on the website isn't real. Hodges explains he was trying to tell the others that. Nick proceeds to examine the photo and remarks on her blood vessels in her arm being distended meaning she has high blood pressure. Greg thinks the blood pooled in dexterity and lividity, i.e that she's dead. Hodges comments it's hard to tell without a body. Nick believes it's a waste of time and so he and Greg bet each other $100 on whether she's alive or not; which Nick doesn't even think Greg has.

There appears to be some confusion over the ordering of episodes for Modern Family, as ABC switched the air date of two episodes. I had originally posted that Chazz Palminteri would be guest starring on the January 13 episode (and posted photos). I've since learned that that episode will air on January 20. Hope that clears things up.
ABC has now released promo hotos for the January 27 episode, which will feature Minnie Driver as a guest star. The show is getting a lot of pretty decent guest stars in its first season, isn't it? Check out the photos and a synopsis below.
