Villainess Review: Kim Barnett (CSI: NY)
The CSI: NY episode, "Flash Pop," centered on the sudden murder of Jessica Drake, who worked at the NY crime lab, and what made it interesting was the fact that Jessica's murder copied the decades old murder of a woman named Lana Gregory. Jessica's inner circle included two of her fellow employees at the lab: Kim Barnett and Harlan Porter, with Jessica having dated the latter of the two.

Secrets and Deceptions
For CEO Gwendolyn "Gwen" Dawson-Finley, the last few days had been quite busy--mainly centering on a search for a new assistant. Her last one, Bethany Baxter, disappeared without a trace, and unfortunately for Gwen, this was not isolated, as she was the second to come up missing in the last five months. Gwen's search ended when she found the perfect choice in Darcy Royce, who made a fantastic first impression on her new boss.

A Heartfelt Message to Maple Leafs Fans
To any and all fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs: I am sorry. I am so, so very sorry. I am sorry that you have to suffer so much heartbreak year after year after year. I'm sorry that a team as amazingly talented as the Leafs seem to get snakebit in the playoffs on a perennial basis. I'm sorry that fans of teams who aren't half as good as the Leafs have the temerity to make jokes at their expense and mockingly say "1967," even though their teams haven't won anything at all. And most of all, I am so sorry that you had to witness yet another playoff disappointment, especially since this year's team was the best in the last 20 years.

Villainess Review: Sheila Porter (Law & Order: SVU)
To this day, I still remember the five-episode arc from Season 19 of Law & Order: SVU that gave us the legendary Brooke Shields; I even remember Shields promoting her SVU appearance. She kept the details of her character under wraps, but as we saw in the final moments of the episode, "Contrapasso," Shields was introduced as Sheila Porter, the maternal grandmother of Olivia Benson's adopted son, Noah Porter. This was a surprise to Olivia, as she had known Noah's late mother, Ellie Porter, and had believed that Ellie's mother had been deceased for some time.

Villainess Review: Mae Feinberg (The Mentalist)
The episode "Silver Wings of Time," began with a bomb going off near a bus station, very chaotic occurrence. The bomb killed a man named David Renaldo, who was revealed to be a friend of Luis Cruz. Why was the name Luis Cruz important? Because he was set to be executed in a matter of days. Cruz was arrested and convicted of the murder of a woman named Sarah Feinberg, which was committed 14 years prior to the events of the episode. Because of this, Sarah's widower, Dr. Edward Feinberg, was interviewed, with his second wife, Mae, at his side.

What Went Wrong: Wild Lose Seven-Game Thriller to Golden Knights
The Minnesota Wild's series with the Vegas Golden Knights began with a 1-0 overtime win for the Wild in Game One. They lost the next three, but with their backs to the wall, they took Games Five and Six, getting a shutout in the latter, but when it came to the pivotal Game Seven, the Wild stayed in it as long as they could, but they couldn't stop the Knights' onslaught. The Wild's season came to an end, but look at their three wins. Two of them (Games One and Five) were in Vegas, two of them (Games One and Six) were shutout, and the Game Five win came despite being outshot by a near 3-1 disadvantage (40-14).

What Went Wrong: Predators Eliminated by Hurricanes
The Nashville Predators put up an amazing effort in their series against the Carolina Hurricanes, but it still wasn't enough, as Sebastian Aho's overtime goal in Game Six ended the Predators' season. This was a series that was very close after the first two games were dominated by the Hurricanes, as the next four saw a combined 74:13 of overtime played. Nashville's two wins came in double overtime, leading the Hurricanes to score quickly in the last two extra frames to finish off the Predators.

Villainess Review: Belinda Zalman (Beauty and the Beast)
Another show I enjoyed binge-watching was The CW's take on Beauty and the Beast, which featured its share of amazing villainesses, though the best one, IMO, was in the episode, "Heart of the Matter." The episode centered on wealthy philanthropist Marshall Zalman, who was dying of a heart condition and needed a transplant. Catherine Chandler and Vincent Keller ended up confronting the Zalmans at a gathering they were hosting, as they found out that Marshall's new heart had superhuman abilities, leading Cat to believe that Marshall was up to no good and planning to use the abilities for sinister purposes.

25 Years of Interleague Play
When I was a kid watching baseball, I once asked my dad, "Why is it that the Dodgers and Angels don't face each other?," and I was told that it was because they're in different leagues. That was the norm back then. American League teams faced American League teams. National League teams faced National League teams. The only AL vs NL action was preseason, the All-Star Game, and the World Series.

What Went Wrong: Panthers Eliminated by Defending Champions
After co-existing together since 1993, Florida's two NHL teams finally faced each other in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The end result was a hard-fought and bitter series, which saw the Florida Panthers ousted in six games by the defending Stanley Cup Champions, the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Panthers' 4-0 loss in Game Six sealed their fate, and extended their playoff series victory drought for another season; having not won a series since the 1996 Eastern Conference Final.

What Went Wrong: Another Early Exit for Penguins
The Pittsburgh Penguins' 15th straight playoff appearance did not last long; their 5-3 defeat in Game Six of their series against the New York Islanders brought an end to their season. For the Penguins, this marks the third straight season that they have failed to win a series, and in two of those occasions, they were defeated by the Islanders. Their 2019 and 2021 losses to the Islanders sandwich their stunning Qualifying Round loss to the Montréal Canadiens in the Toronto bubble in 2020. In fact, the Penguins have won only one playoff series since winning back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017, and in three of their last four seasons, they were defeated by teams coached by Barry Trotz.

Villainess Review: Emily (9-1-1)
One of my recent favorite shows is Fox's 9-1-1 series, which ended its fourth season and will be back for a fifth. I do love that for the most part, it seems like four or five episodes in one full hour (counting ads), as we see responses to many different emergencies, all with a similar theme. Regarding this episode, it was "Rage," and it kicked off with two women, Denise and Emily, at Happy's Rage Room, a place where customers unleash their pent-up anger by smashing various objects.
