Im not sure how many more eps of Dirty Sexy Money are in the can but I am worried we are going to get stuck in the middle of a serious cliff hangar I suspected when Tripp got on the phone and told the person on the line to find out what Simon wanted with the Darlings financials that it was Karen But I wasnt really sure until the last scene So if shes getting busy with Simon for her Dad then what are her reasons Is it just to get Nick Walking into the Nutcracker crying certainly got his attention Though I think Tripps reasons are far more business related And theres some question as to whether Tripp isnt using Nick to make it seem though hes protecting Karen from Simon And speaking of which Simon inviting Karen over to meet his ex was a little mean he could have warned her at least Because if he is just using her then why did he want to get approval from his ex unless Could the Princess be in cahoots with him aga

This could be the last major piece of TV casting I bestow upon you guys in a while, so take some time to savor it. Sources confirm to me exclusively that Dirty Sexy Money has tapped the fierce and fabulous Gina Torres to play the ex-wife of Darling-family nemesis Simon Elder (Blair Underwood). The character is described as gorgeous, lithe and beaming with intelligence yep, that's Torres! The role was originally intended to be recurring, but in light of you-know-what, it looks like Torres will just barely squeeze in one episode. Sigh....

Oh, Mexico. Whenever it makes an appearance on TV, it never lets me down. I was loving the Wild West imagery tonight: From the camera's pan up toward the blazing sun between scenes to the traditional shot of the shack framed in the foreground by Emilys hand at the ready beside her holster. I was half expecting a few tumbleweeds. Or maybe even some nice tavern-door swinging. But all jokes aside, the situation in which Matt and Emily found themselves tonight was pretty gritty. There was so much carnage, so much venom. I guess a change in location really did turn the tables, because everything seemed to be opposite from what it usually is. There was very little talking, reasoning or bargaining. There was a lot of shooting. Matt and Emily were not in control of the situation. The bad guy," Felix, was just that: really, really bad. Downright villainous. Cheryl was not able to save the day. Overall, there were no warm and fuzzies coming from this episode at all. That said,...

Question: I think The Shield is one of the two or three best shows on TV right now. However, I am disappointed that it has lost its edge compared to Season 1. What made the show so different was that Mackey was alternately a scumbag and a hero, so you were never sure how to feel about him. That tension seems to have completely disappeared as Mackey is being portrayed more and more like a typical Dirty Harry, a crusading cop who only bends the rules and beats up people we all know are guilty. Do you think this has anything to do with the fact that Michael Chiklis has become a producer and is directing some of the episodes?
Answer: Mackey's lost his edge? Granted, this question came in before the Feb. 28 episode, in which Mackey took great, gleeful pleasure in eavesdropping on Kavanaugh's disturbing scene with his ex-wife (Gina Torres) and said to Lem: "At least we found his weak spot." Mackey is still as much a monster as he is a crusader, and from the start he has had a soft spot for
