Scream Queens: Bloody Hell

Welcome to Ryan Murphy's Scream Queens, where all the good characters (see Chad, Denise Hemphill, and Tristan the Stalker) get killed off too soon. As you all know, I am tired of recapping this show and will be handing the reins to Chanel Oberline herself. Keep in mind, we at the Agony Booth are not responsible for any of the horrible things she says. Take it away, Chanel!

Jane the Virgin: Kissing cousins

Previously on Jane the Virgin: Jane reached out to Alba's side of the family and now her crazy Catalina has showed up on her doorstep, ready for a family reunion? How do we know she's crazy? Long-lost relatives usually are in telenovela land...

Supergirl: Waiting for Cyborg Superman

Well, there are lots of action plots with this week, with plenty of mano a mano fights (or extraterrestre a extraterrestre, as the case may be) and lots of Michael Bay-esque shots with the camera circling around combatants (and even just people sitting around having drinks)...

The Exorcist: Repossessed - This Time It's Personal

We start where we left off. Beautiful but dumb Father Tomas has brought the family Rance, plus faded movie star Chris MacNeil, over to the Convent of the Chosen Nuns to say good-bye to Casey before she can be belladonna-ed by Mother Bernadette...

How to Get Away with Murder: Face/Off

Previously on How to Get Away with Murder: Frank is back! He tried to make amends with Annalise, but she wasn't having it. He then offered to kill himself in front of her. Annalise is fine with it, which I'm sure wasn't the reaction Frank was hoping for. Michaela hates her mom. Naturally, Asher arranged for them to get together...

Scream Queens: A good minion is hard to find

I've been down in the dumps since the election and watching a Ryan Murphy project doesn't help my mood so I have decided to turn these recaps over to the only person who enjoys watching this show: Chanel Oberlin herself.

Jane the Virgin: Family Ties

Jane is no longer a virgin! Well, that's sort of old news compared to what's been going on with everyone else. New career changes: Rogelio is trying to become famous enough for a CW show which shouldn't be too hard since no one on the CW is truly famous...

The Exorcist: Flying Nuns and Super Priests

We open with Tomas conducting mass. St Anthony's looks spruced up, so maybe not all of Maria Walter's devil-money went for the search. There's a big poster of Casey. Uh-oh. Is this a memorial? Probably not, unless we're going the possessed zombie route...

Supergirl: (Gay) love in the time of Trump-era

Previously on Supergirl: James “Jimmy” Olsen decided to come out as a superhero, while Alex did just about everything but come out as lesbian. Mon-El lost his non-paying job at CatCo for screwing around at work (literally)...

Once Upon a Time: Stuck in the mirror with you

Last week on Once, while I was in Spain, the Evil Queen cast a curse on Snow White and Prince Charming, so that they could never be awake at the same time. Specifically, every...

Supergirl: Witty title blah blah, who cares, nothing matters

Previously on Supergirl: Mon-El arrived on Earth after escaping the devastation of Krypton’s sister planet Daxam. He’s the sole survivor of his homeworld and he’s all alone here on Earth, so it’s up to Supergirl...

The Exorcist: Mama's back

Young Regan MacNeil and her mom the movie star are on a talk show. We can tell it's the '70's by Regan's groovy shag haircut. Young Regan looks like Linda Blair, and Chris looks nothing at all like Sharon Gless, but a lot like Ellen Burstyn...

Jane the Virgin: Losin' it (finally!)

I like that this episode doesn't bother with the Latin Lover Narrator flashback to Jane's childhood and how it relates thematically to her present day problems. She and Michael finally got the go-ahead to have sex and they're going to do it, dammit!

Supergirl: Always bet on green

When last week’s previews revealed the main plot of this episode would be an “underground alien fight club”, I must admit it looked like a pretty bland concept for an episode. And guess what? It actually is a pretty bland hour of TV, and another one of those unfortunate Supergirl episodes where...

This week on Once, Captain Hook learns that, contrary to popular belief, the best way to make friends and influence people is not by taking their Pop-Tarts and murdering their dads.

The Exorcist: Daughter of Fury

When a series tells you publicly and explicitly that it is not a sequel to something else, but then it turns out to be totally a sequel, is that a twist or a cheat?
