'Game of Thrones' Breaks Its Own Ratings Record
April 16, 2013 12:10pm ESTGame of Thrones is like Daenerys' growing dragons, getting bigger and more intimidating each day. And with the third episode of Season 3, the HBO series broke its own ratings record, hitting a whopping 4.7 million viewers in its first showing and 5.8 million viewers for the whole evening — and this episode didn't even have a nippelectomy! Basically, next time you roll your eyes at your coworkers chattering about Winterfell and White Walkers and a bunch of other fantasy nonsense you know nothing about, just think about these rising ratings and realize you should probably just give in. And if the peer pressure isn't enough, there's always this.

'Dallas' Finale: So Who Shot J.R. and Actually Killed Him? We Found Out!
April 16, 2013 11:50am ESTJ.R. Ewing, you will be missed. The mystery of the iconic villain's death came to a close in the Season 2 finale of Dallas on April 15. It was a fun puzzle-box solution that perfectly fit in with 34 years of established Dallas lore and gave Larry Hagman the send-off he probably would have wanted: J.R. getting the last laugh. SPOILER ALERT! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHO SHOT J.R., WHY ARE YOU READING? In his final phone call, J.R. called a plan he had cooked up "my masterpiece." Boy, was it ever that. In that tear-stained letter from J.R. that Bobby couldn't bear to read without bawling, J.R. said he'd been given just days to live by his doctors. "Damn cancer." So he decided to make his death mean something and have it settle once and for all the feud between the Ewings and Cliff Barnes. J.R. would have his right-hand man, Bum, shoot him, and then tweak the evidence to make it look like Cliff was the culprit. J.R. knew that Cliff summered in Mexico, where he attended a marlon-fishing tournament each year. That's why J.R. decided to take a little trip down Mexico way himself. Bum was able to swipe Cliff's gun at the tournament...which he used as the murder weapon, then had it planted back in Cliff's car. The Ewings and young Pamela Barnes all assumed Cliff was the killer, but they didn't feel there was enough evidence to get him arrested. So they planted J.R.'s belt buckle in Cliff's safe. This required the collusion of Bobby, the one person who knew for certain that Cliff was innocent — from J.R.'s letter. Yet Bobby agreed to it, just so his family could be free of Cliff and his machinations forever. This last point may have truly been J.R.'s masterpiece, because he finally succeeded in drawing out the darkness in Bobby's apparently angelic soul. At last, his little brother had been corrupted. And now, without J.R. to do the Ewings' dirty work, that responsibility will probably fall to Bobby. It took J.R.'s death for him to finally remake his younger brother in his own image. Is that a payoff or what?

'Bates Motel' Recap: But Norma Would Never Even Hurt a Fly!
April 16, 2013 11:16am ESTSo you'd think Norman would be flying higher than a kite after presumably sleeping with Bradley last week. But your mother's arrest for murder could be a bit of a buzzkill. Poor Norman. Every time he tries to express a natural human urge something horrible happens that you just know will inevitably taint sex for him forever. The first time he hung out with Bradley and her friends, his mother was raped. Now he actually sleeps with Bradley, and Norma is arrested. Norman met his mother at her attorney's office, and she wouldn't even return his gaze. Dammit, she will be the only woman in her son's life! When he asked her to just look at him, Norma obliged with the creepiest stare you've ever seen in your life. She wasn't much nicer to her attorney, who was trying to come up with a self-defense story for why she killed Keith Sommers, a guy with a known history of violence. Norma wouldn't have it. She was so morally justified in her actions, she didn't have to explain herself at all. The charges would just somehow miraculously be dropped. Well, maybe it is reasonable to think that way when your boyfriend is a sheriff's deputy working on the case. Cue Creepily Sexual Dialogue Between Norman and Norma #1: When she indicates that she can get Shelby to fix the case in her favor, Norman replies with "What are you going to have to do for that?" We all know, Norman. Norma fired back with Creepily Sexual Dialogue Between Norman and Norma #2: "You went out and got laid when I was staying home and worrying about being taken away from you!" She ended up telling him to get out of the car and walk home. So wait, is Norma going to turn on Norman and disown him the way she did Dylan? Who should be driving along right behind them to pick Norman up? Dylan, of course. After they originally came to blows in Episode 2, they've become pretty close buddies. And now Dylan's offering for Norman to come live with him, as soon as he can squirrel away enough money from working with the mobsters for him to rent his own place. Even if the case against Norma is dismissed, the offer still stands for his brother to come live with him. So just as expected, Shelby fixed the evidence in Norma's favor...ensuring she'll be his pawn forever. He removed the carpet fiber from the Bates House that had lodged in Keith Sommers' watch, which I guess was the sole piece of evidence against Norma. The case was dismissed. Unfortunately, Norman knew that Shelby was a bad, bad guy after seeing that sex slave he kept in his basement. He wanted to forget about that whole incident and focus on his mom's situation, but they're kind of inseparable. His other "girlfriend," Emma, wasn't about to let it drop, so she roped him in to exploring Keith Sommers' boat. A boat he probably used for human trafficking, possibly in collusion with Shelby. They found the boat, and, my, it was yar. But its sole passenger was...the sex slave they found in Shelby's basement! She came out ready to fight, fearing she was about to horribly abused once again. But they calmed her down and brought her back to Bates House. Norma was not pleased. But they showed the girl a newspaper photo of Shelby and she recognized him right away. Now Norma couldn't deny that her boyfriend is a sex slaver. Things are going to get ugly. Things weren't too great for Dylan either. He had just borrowed money from his fixer employer Ethan so that he could rent a place for him and Norman, when a junkie shot Ethan in the neck. The guy started bleeding out, but will most likely survive. Later, Dylan found that junkie wandering in an ally, revved the gas, and ran over the guy. We've got some cold motherf***ers on this show. Oh yeah, and while we're talking about resentment and all, Norman was a little upset that Bradley hadn't returned his phone calls ever since their apparent tryst. What gives? Of course, Bradley's rival Emma suggested it was just a hook up and not indicative of a real relationship. Either way, Norman's distrust of blondes is really starting to settle in. What did you think of "Ocean View"? Are you impressed by the swift clip of the show thus far? Is it moving too fast?

'The Following' Recap: Roderick Goes Off-Book, With Fatal Results
April 16, 2013 9:56am ESTCan you believe we've only got two episodes left to go this season? It feels like just yesterday we were cracking wise about Edgar Allen Poe stories, wondering when we would finally learn who this "Roderick" fellow was and what relationship, if any, he might have to the Diary of a Wimpy Kid character. Think of all that's transpired these past three months! Plots slowly, slowly advanced. Characters were introduced, then killed or severely wounded. There were LCD Soundsystem flashbacks. But we're finally nearing the finish line, Following Followers, and with that comes the tidying up of some of the season's loose ends. Most notably, last night saw the untimely demise of our favorite Follower/fake town sheriff, Roderick, who bit it when frustrations with Joe led him to make some rash decisions. "I told you I'm impulsive!" he reiterated to Ryan in an interrogation. Too true, guy! The shame of it is that things had been running so smoothly for a full three minutes or so. As we saw last week, Roderick managed to ingratiate himself with Hardy & the FBI, hot on the trail of the Follower compound. Everybody seemed cool, just happy to be working with a normal guy like Roderick. But then Weston — he of the recent really bad day — pegged him as the guy who kidnapped and tortured him. And just like that? Roderick's sheriffin' days was over. I think most of us assumed the creative team would drag that deception out to at least a mid-episode reveal, so points for getting things moving fast. In a frenzy, Roderick returned to Follower HQ. "We're screwed," he told Joe. Ever the unflappable college professor when an audience is in view, Joe kept his cool at first. But that quickly turned to choke-fighting, and the end of Joe and Roderick's professional and personal relationship. Moments later, #2 would kidnap Joey (who just cannot catch a break); in response, Joe would order Roderick dead. It's crazy how fast relationships can sour, in or out of murder compounds. Things weren't going much better for the FBI, who'd been totally blindsided by the Roderick reveal. "Isn't that a kick in the pants!" Parker basically said, shrugging her shoulders in the most nonchalant way ever associated with a horrific murder investigation. Meanwhile Hardy, out of ideas and lacking anything resembling departmental oversight, even at the federal level, got on camera to deliver a VERY SPECIAL MESSAGE to Joe's Followers: "Any Follower who wants to give us info, gets immunity. You can turn back. Be completely exonerated." "Maybe that'll yield some fruit?" Hardy thought, imagining his next vodka and vodka on the rocks. His FBI commander made sure to chew him out, but in that very specific way that says he really admires Hardy's outside-the-box thinking and can-do attitude. And hey — while Hardy's play didn't immediately land them any ex-Followers, it wasn't long before they tracked down Roderick. Hardy managed to interrogate the guy without stabbing his hand or aggravating a bullet wound, so that was good, and even got Joe on the phone to describe how we would "personally peel the skin from [Roderick's] body" if they ever saw each other again. Then the kicker: Roderick had Joey. Not nearby, no, but somewhere close enough. Hardy, would you mind giving him a lift? This next sequence was great. We've been trained to think of Hardy as this rule-breaking alky with a devil-may-care attitude, the kind of guy who would willingly torch an orphanage for love and go swimming just twenty minutes after eating. Hardy don't care! So when he flagrantly ignored his boss's one command to not trade Roderick for Joey, all us Followers at home were like "psssh, show me something new." GUESS WHAT: Parker, Weston, and even Hardy's boss (Nick? It doesn't matter) were in on Hardy's plan the whole time. "Now I've drunk the Ryan Hardy juice!" laughed Nick, completely unaware of his employee's unbelievable history of alcoholism and regret-focused mood disorder. But DAMMIT if it didn't work: Roderick shot dead by Weston*, Joey in Hardy's arms, and the whole world a little warmer if only for one hour on FOX. *A serious question: was it Weston that took the fatal shot? This show is so unbelievably dark — visually — that half the time I can't make out things like characters, or scenes. You should know that most of the time I treat The Following like a really strange radio show. Claire, meanwhile, continued her one-woman show about completely nonsensical characterization with a few scenes at Follower HQ in which she: explained concepts of "good" and "bad" to her son; tried to level with Jacob, a known murderer but great babysitter; fake-flirted with Joe, another very-known murderer; finally summoned the courage to shiv said murderer with intent to kill. Yes, we all do crazy things for the love of Kevin Bacon but Claire — you're all over the map! Even your ex-husband would have to agree! Which he did, over the phone to Ryan: "Our story has taken an…unexpected turn. It's bad. Really bad. Page one rewrite." Before Hardy could assemble their writers group to address these narrative problems head-on, Joe offered his rewrite idea. "Sadly, it is time for Claire to die." Oh, and one of the Followers took Hardy up on his exoneration offer from 30 minutes earlier but really she just wanted to stir s**t up, specifically by stabbing Nick in the eyes. Those probably won't heal. Altogether now: "And that's what happens when you drink the Ryan Hardy juice."

Late Night Last Night: Hosts React to Boston Marathon Explosions
April 16, 2013 8:58am ESTAfter explosions went off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon leaving three dead and 144 injured, it seemed fair that TV's late night hosts would start their opening monologues not with jokes, but with some words about the day's tragic events. While Jimmy Fallon, David Letterman, and Jay Leno aired reruns Monday night, Conan O'Brien (originally from Boston), Jimmy Kimmel, and Craig Ferguson jumped right in to discussing the pain of the shocking bombings. Conan O'Brien: "We have a great show for you tonight. But first, I did want to start by mentioning what an upsetting and sad day it has been. I'm talking about what happened in Boston. Boston's my hometown. It’s where I grew up. It’s where my family lives. So I wanted to take a moment to say that like everyone here, my thoughts and prayers are with the people of Boston and everybody who has been affected by this absolutely senseless act. It's important to say, right up top. That said, it is our job to do a show, and we’re going to try and entertain you the vey best we can. Which, given our track record, gives you people a 20% chance of having a good show tonight." Jimmy Kimmel: "Well, it was a terrible day. Very bad things happened today for no good reason. And our thoughts are with the people of Boston and everyone who is suffering as a result of the bombings at the marathon. It’s a disgusting thing. I don’t understand it. But my job is to make you laugh, so I will try to do that. And I will probably fail. I’m failing already. Craig Ferguson: "Hey everybody, good evening. Tonight’s show is a little bit different. Obviously the news of today is so horrendous that it would seem insensitive at best to say, ‘It’s a great day for America,’ so I won’t be starting the show with that tonight. Is anyone else sick of this sh**? I seem to have to say that too often." Ferguson continued, "People say to me, ‘Craig, your job is to make people laugh at the end of the day.’ And I think, yes, that’s true, but I’ve never professed to be any damn good at that. And, the thing is, people want their mind taken off it. And I think, 'Well OK, if you want your mind taken off it, you know, watch a cartoon or a video or something.' I understand it, it’s perfectly acceptable. I don’t think it’s a terrible thing to not want to think about it, but I can’t not think about it." "Also, I have a personal connection with the city of Boston," Ferguson added. "I have some history there. I have family there. When I became an American citizen in 2008, I spoke at Faneuil Hall on July 4, at the invitation of Tommy Menino who is the mayor of Boston, and one of the more colorful characters in American politics… I’ve been there for the Fourth of July many times… and every cop in Boston looks like I’m his brother. My first stand up special in America, I shot it in Boston. I like that town. I’m appalled by this thing, and when I watch it on these streets that I know... it’s horrifying." He ended his opening monologue with: "If I have all this inside of me. If I have all this rage and anger and distress and upset inside of me, I’m not a good enough comedian to hide all that from you." Follow Lindsey on Twitter @LDiMat.

'How I Met Your Mother' Recap: Robin, You’re a Weak Weak Woman
April 16, 2013 2:06am ESTAnd we’re back! After dropping a bombshell that we’re thisclose to finally meeting the mother, How I Met Your Mother returned this week with series-altering episode for Marshall and Lily, and a dark foreshadowed warning from Ted to his bro Barney. Oh and Robin is single-handedly sabotaging her relationship with Barney. But what else is new? For the past few months, Lily has been happily working her dream job as an art consultant for the sea-obsessed Captain. However her perfect world came to a hault when The Captain announced that he was packing up and moving to Rome — and he wanted Lily to come with him. Lily was thrilled at the idea of living abroad for a year but she ultimately turned down the offer. What are her reasons for passing up this opportunity you ask? She’s married, she has a baby, and they just opened a Shake Shack on her block and there’s never a line. (Solid argument girl! We’d never leave our street if that were the case…) In reality, Lily knows how much Marshall loves working as an environmental lawyer. She does not want to be the one responsible for taking away his identity as a lawyer and forcing him to be an Italian househusband who spends his days making pasta and watching the Italian version of The Price is Right. But when Lily went to surprise her man with brownies at the office, she discovered that ever since the Gruber case, Marshall’s law firm has lost nearly all their clients. It’s now just Marshall and one other co-worker named Bernard, filling their days with as many fun things as possible — but Marshall was always clear not to lie to Lily about what he was doing. Every time Lily has called her hubby at work, Marshall has urgently hung up the phone explaining that he’s working on a “huge case” (of beer) or that he’s “got a lot on his plate” (It was a plate full of burgers.) Marshall also once told Lily that he “was about to get reamed” but it turns out he and Bernard like to throw reams of paper at each other. Phew! Marshall did not want to admit to Lily that his dream job has fallen apart. In an endearing surprise, Marshall explained that he would be more than happy to uproot their lives so his wife could follow her dream job abroad and he quickly went to convince The Captain to offer Lily the position again. Of course being HIMYM, Lily turned down the job offer once again to express to the gang how nervous she is that she is going to fail. In an adorable faux-Italian speech, Marshall and Lily had a heart-to-heart, and decided that they were definitely moving to Rome. While it’s wonderful that Lily and Marshall are the couple that always seems to make their dreams come true, what does this mean for us? Will future episodes flash over to the couple’s crazy antics over in the “Rome” sets or does this mean that Marshall and Lily are going to bow out next season so we can watch Ted’s relationship with the Mother blossom? While you all ponder that, let’s take a look at the couple that we’re supposed to be rooting for, but we really just don’t care about anymore: Barney and Robin. It’s the classic HIMYM story: Ted and Barney are in the bar when a super hot girl walks in that Ted knows from yoga class. (Yoga? Really? Since when does Ted do yoga?) Apparently this girl has a “redonkulous” body and Barney quickly becomes obsessed with getting her out of the freakishly oversized coat so he can take a look at her curves — he even pays the bartender $100 to turn up the heat. It turns out that super hot yoga girl is actually Liddy, Robin and Barney’s wedding planner and despite the awkward connection, Barney is still trying to find a way to get that coat on the rack so he can see the rack that’s under the coat. Barney wishes that Marshall were there to suggest that Liddy takes off her coat because he does not have “the stink” of desperation that all single guys ooze into the atmosphere. (Side-Note: As a lady, I can confirm this is true. It kind of smells like a mixture of body odor, old pennies, and fear.) Robin then poises an interesting question, “Aren’t you a guy who has found the girl of his dreams and want to spend the rest of his life with her and only her? Then why don’t you ask her to take her coat off?” So Barney gathered up his courage, asked the girl to take her coat off and was able to drool over another woman while sitting directly next to his fiancé. So basically Robin just taught Barney how to channel his douchebagery and disguise it behind a non-threatening soon-to-be-married façade. I hope you feel dumb girl. Barney later expressed his gratitude to Robin for giving him that little push saying, “Robin thanks to you I can now go up to any girl and say whatever creepy disgusting thing that I want and totally get away with it! I think I’m going to like being married.” Later at the bar Barney expressed to Ted that he can’t wait for his wedding day because he is excited to see Liddy wearing something “slinky and backless.” Aww how romantic! Ted then offered some friendly best man advice: Be careful. Despite Robin’s cool exterior, Ted is worried that Barney is not acting like a guy should who is about to get married in three weeks. Barney quickly shut down Ted’s concerns and snapped, “But you’re not getting married in three weeks Ted, I am. Robin is marrying me, not you.” Ted apologized, bought the next round, and when Barney got back to his apartment we see a coat-wearing Robin is waiting for him with a smug smirk on her face. Are we supposed to believe that everything is a-okay with Barney and Robin? And at this point who should we be angry with? Barney for never shedding his single-guy mentalities, or Robin for not wanting to lose the title of “Coolest Fiancé” and telling him the truth? Obviously we’ve seen in multiple flash-forwards that Robin is going to have some serious second-thoughts at the wedding — but will she actually pull a Stella and leave her man at the alter? If she has any shred of respect for herself then she most certainly should. Sorry Barney, but it’s true.

Patton Oswalt Shares Beautiful Thoughts In Wake of Boston Marathon Tragedy
April 15, 2013 7:58pm ESTIn light of Monday's horrible Boston Marathon tragedy in which bombs were detonated at the finish line of the race, one celebrity took to his Facebook to share some truly beautiful words in a dark time. Patton Oswalt posted a heartwarming message, which you can read in full below (warning: some graphic language). We couldn't have put it any better ourselves: "Boston. Fucking horrible. I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, 'Well, I've had it with humanity.' But I was wrong. I don't know what's going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths. But here's what I DO know. If it's one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me). This is a giant planet and we're lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they're pointed towards darkness. But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago. So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, 'The good outnumber you, and we always will.'" Oswalt also tweeted out a quote from Fred Rogers: "Look for the helpers. You'll always find people who are helping." -- Fred Rogers, on what to do when scary things are on the news #boston — Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) April 15, 2013 Follow Sydney on Twitter: @SydneyBucksbaum More:Boston Marathon Tragedy: How to HelpBoston Celebs React to Boston Marathon Blasts on Twitter President Obama on Boston Marathon Bombing: Those Respsonsible Will 'Feel the Full Weight of Justice' From Our PartnersJessica Alba Bikinis in St. Barts (Celebuzz)Which Game of Thrones Actor Looks Least Like His On-Screen Character?

Is This a Teaser for 'The Newsroom' or for Mission Control? — VIDEO
April 15, 2013 4:48pm ESTUp until that final shot of the ACN studio, you'd be forgiven for not really knowing what you're seeing in the new 30-second trailer for HBO's The Newsroom. You see a trophy, a locker room, a flared spotlight. What is this? The teaser for an inspirational sports drama? An Apollo 13-style thriller about NASA heroics? But this isn't mission control. It's where Jeff Daniels' relentlessly noble Will McAvoy holds court and maintains journalistic standards all by himself. The first season of Aaron Sorkin's series was criticized by some for its palpable self-importance. Yeah, this clip isn't going to dispel that.

'The Bachelor' Wants You, Adam Scott
April 15, 2013 3:54pm ESTCould Adam Scott (no, not that one) be The Bachelor's newest ace in the hole? If Chris Harrison and producer Robert Mills have any say in it he might. The recently-crowned King of the Holes — isn't that what they call golf champions? — beat out Tiger Woods for the green jacket of Masters glory, and also the hearts of American women everywhere when it was revealed that the Australian may in fact be single. Single, wealthy, and handsome?! Someone get this man a reality show, stat! Well, that's exactly what Mills is hoping, especially after the response he received to his tweet about the idea.
