Watch It, Rae! Tv reviews for the critically minded.

Once again, Grace comes out squeaky clean this week with little to no blood on her hands, thanks to Constantine. I mean, she did operate on Sarah without consent, but Constantine kept her from having to kill Eddie to save Sarah. In addition, the parallelism between Grace and Sarah in this episode was so intense, wasn’t it? Not only do they relate to one another because they both have deadbeat fathers, but I’m starting to get the sneaking suspicion that Constantine is actually Grace’s dad. By now, it’s obvious that he and Daniela have some sort of romantic history, which

I really need to take my own advice and not watch medical dramas while eating, especially when I’m still suffering from morning sickness. Watching Grace slice open Tracy’s stomach on a kitchen table was just too much for me. I love me some Jurnee Smollett though! FNL stars are blowing up this season, with Matt Lauria’s arc on Parenthood and of course, Zach Gilford as a series regular on this show. While her story line was extremely gut wrenching, not just for an expectant mother, I don’t fully grasp why it mattered whether or not she kept her baby. Yes,

How amazing was this week’s episode? I loved that Grace’s patients at the hospital were directly linked to her mob case, though I know they can’t do that every week. Just like in the pilot, I spent the hour stressing over whether she would back down to Constantine or narc on Shaw. Man, she has some balls!

I found it really hard to believe that none of them,

I know I shouldn’t get hooked on this show because it’ll probably get cancelled faster than you can say Off The Map, but I blame it on a very common disorder known as FNL Tunnel Vision. Symptoms include hallucinations of Landry Clark whenever a fair skinned actor enters a scene (Ben Marten aka The Groom), manifesting story lines onto others (Of course Brett isn’t close with his family, his father is in the army and his mother left him to live with his grandmother when he was young), and always preferring Zach Gilford’s character over any other seemingly viable male

Am I the only one who notices the overuse of a particular sound effect? Leave the animal hospital where you do shady backdoor deals for the mob: Tires squeal. Pull up to the garage where your greasy mob boss spends his time: Tires squeal. Leave said garage: Tires squeal. Walk into the hospital parking lot: Tires squeal. Mob spy leaves his hiding spot to follow you: Tires squeal. Ram your SUV into said mob boss’ flash car: Tires squeal. OK, so that one was legit, but enough already! That and the theme of Grace always fleeing the scene was just
