Warehouse 13 4.2 Review: "An Evil Within"
By John Keegan
Considering that the season premiere was foreshadowing some nasty future direction for Claudia, I think a number of fans were expecting her search for a "solution" to Steve's death was going to lead her down that path. This episode makes it clear that things are going to be a bit more complicated in that regard. Claudia seems destined for darkness, but perhaps not quite yet.

By John Keegan and Henry Tran
Walt said it himself in an earlier episode: The profits from cooking meth were going to be smaller than when he was working for the Fring organization. The cut of the pie was going to be bigger, though. The cost of "hazard pay" seems to not be of Walt's liking. He thought that since he was the proverbial big man on campus now, he should get to reap the benefits without the hassle of paying employees. While he is king of the operation, there are the little details that Walt completely overlooks.

By John Keegan
Well, it took nearly two-thirds of the season to finally happen, but it looks like this season of "True Blood" is starting to find some measure of direction. Various subplots are starting to intersect, and though it's still not happening enough for my taste, it's better than the wheel-spinning we've seen up to this point.

By John Keegan
An episode that rubs salt in the wound that is the Annie/Auggie non-relationship sounds like it ought to be a step in the wrong direction for "Covert Affairs". Instead, it feels right; this is what we've come to expect from the show this season. Annie remains competent, the character dynamics remain strong, and the episode itself was gripping, to say the least.

By John Keegan and Paul Pearson
A weak A-story has unfortunately become par for the course when it comes to "Lost Girl", and the episodes subsequently live or die based on the sideplots and character threads woven around them. Pleasantly, this episode was very strong in the latter category, creating an unusually strong feeling that what happened to the characters in this episode would have profound effects on the show as it unfolds in the future.

By John Keegan and Gregg Wright
I'm really loving how "White Collar" is refusing to brush aside the consequences of everything that's happened in the past few episodes. Ever since Peter gave Neal the go-ahead to run from the law in the previous season finale, he's been finding himself going further and further outside the bounds of authority. And now he's paying for it. With plenty of people in the Bureau gunning for him, Peter is re-assigned to perform menial, repetitive tasks in an evidence warehouse, lorded over by his new boss (played by one of my favorite TV actors, Brett Cullen).

By John Keegan
The first season finale of "Alphas" brought a game-changing moment with the public announcement by Dr. Rosen that Alphas exist. It was the kind of plot twist that the writers simply couldn't take back, and the question was how the series would be able to move forward. The second season premiere handles that question perfectly well, while maintaining the grounded nature of the series in the process.

By John Keegan
At the end of the third season, Warehouse 13 was utterly destroyed, killing H.G. Wells and Mrs. Frederic in the process. Artie, Pete, and Myka were left standing the rubble, wondering what might come next. Meanwhile, Claudia was struggling with Jinx's death, and what she may or may not be able to do about it, given her access to various time-bending artifacts. It was one of the darkest moments in the show's history.

Each power however also has a downside. The group is led by Dr. Lee Rosen (David Strathairn). Together they work for the government to solve cases and track down other Alphas who are out of control, including the group Red Flag.
