The Rookie: Is Bailey Nune Turning Heel?
The fourth season of the hit ABC series, The Rookie, ended a long arc involving the sinister La Fiera, but began another storyline involving a serial arsonist and killer. In addition, the season has seen its lead character, John Nolan, with a new love interest in form of firefighter Bailey Nune, played by Jenna Dewan. This was Nolan's third on-screen relationship; he dated fellow officer Lucy Chen during the first season, and the second season saw him involved with Dr. Grace Sawyer. Dewan's Bailey Nune debuted on the third season finale, and has appeared in all but two episodes of the fourth season. However, as the storyline progresses, and Nolan and Bailey's relationship becomes closer, there lurks a possibility that Bailey could be the villainess behind everything.

Why Ruby Rose Left Batwoman
I'm a big fan of Ruby Rose; I've seen her in quite a few things. I loved her appearance on SyFy Channel's series, Dark Matter, as evil cyborg Wendy, and she also appeared in John Wick 2. When I learned that Rose would be playing the role of Kate Kane, aka Batwoman, on The CW's Arrowverse shows, I was all in! The Australian actress actually debuted as Batwoman before her self-titled series actually premiered; her first appearance as the Caped Crusader came in "Elseworlds," 2018's muti-show Arrowverse crossover. The crossover aired in December of 2018, and it was in the fall of 2019 that the Batwoman series premiered. Rose's Batwoman also appeared in the epic 2019 crossover, "Crisis on Infinite Earths," and other than Batwoman, fellow Arrowverse shows Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow were involved.

Villainess Review: Andrea Pacheco (NCIS: Hawai'i)
When I learned about a fourth NCIS series debuting, I was elated and also decided that I had to watch this as it aired. I, like many other TV watchers, am immensely familiar with the phenomenon known as NCIS. Despite its' immense prominence, the original series started as a spinoff of another CBS series--JAG--before going off on its own in 2003. The original NCIS is in its nineteenth season, while its first spinoff, NCIS: Los Angeles, is in its thirteenth. NCIS: New Orleans (my favorite of the group) actually ended its run after seven seasons, but prior to its end came the announcement of this installment: NCIS: Hawai'i. One of the reasons why I dove in to this is because of the show's lead, Vanessa Lachey, as I'm a fan of her work--which now includes her role in this series as the lead agent, Jane Tennant.

Villainess Review: Rose Magnusen (Bones)
Bones is quite an amazing show; there are reasons why this show lasted for a dozen years on FOX. I remember seeing previews for the show during its run; I didn't watch it religiously; though I ended up binge-watching anyway and being drawn into the cases and many of the show's characters, mainly Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan and Seeley Booth. The series also had its share of amazing villainesses, with one appearing in the episode "The Cowboy in the Contest."

Villainess Review: Valerie Cooley (The Equalizer)
I had never seen the original Equalizer series, but I had heard about it for a while. I did, however, watch both Equalizer films starring Denzel Washington, so I wasn't too unaware when I heard news about a reboot series. I was definitely in; even more so when I learned that Queen Latifah would be playing the titular role: Robyn McCall. The series premiered after CBS' coverage of Super Bowl LV on February 7, 2021, and it would be two weeks later that we would be treated with the appearance of the series' first villainess. First, the setting.

Villainess Review: Alice Westergren (Monk)
Hard to believe a week has passed since Lucifer came to its definitive end. I truly loved that show; Lucifer aired its first three seasons on Fox before an abrupt and unceremonious cancellation that led to the famous "Save Lucifer" campaign that resulted in Netflix resurrecting the series (thank you so much, Netflix!). Netflix added three more seasons of the series, with the sixth and final season released on September 10, 2021.

Villainess Review: Clare Brantigan (Diagnosis Murder)
A classic show that had its share of interesting villainesses was Diagnosis Murder, which was actually a spinoff of another CBS series, Jake and the Fatman. Dick Van Dyke's main character, Dr. Mark Sloan, appeared on the latter series before being spunoff into a triumvirate of TV films, which later turned into a TV series that aired for eight seasons between 1993 and 2001. Some very appetizing female baddies have appeared on long-running CBS series, and one of them appeared in Season Seven's "Man Overboard."

Enough Already! 3 Meritless TV Show Criticisms That People Really Need to Stop Repeating
As the saying goes, "Everyone's a critic." Those three words are often uttered when someone voices an amount of antipathy towards something. Television shows are often subject to a lot of criticism. A lot of it has merit, a lot of it doesn't. The problem, however, is the latter half of that statement. So many meritless claims have been repeated over and over and over again about certain things in television. Even worse, they act like it's fact, but it really isn't. I myself have heard quite a few of them, but there are three that really stand out the most, and they are as follows:

Villainess Review: Patrice Gesner (Monk)
There are a number of reasons why I loved this episode of Monk, simply titled, "Mr. Monk and the Bully," but I'll get to them later. So the episode has Adrian Monk on the call regarding Roderick Brody, who used to bully him in middle school. Because of this, Monk initially refuses, but agrees to do so under the insistence of Dr. Bell and (especially) Natalie Teeger, who mentioned that Roderick was their first paying customer in weeks. After meeting Roderick's wife, Marilyn, Monk and Natalie get to the reason for their services: Roderick suspects that Marilyn is cheating on him.

Villainess Review: Diana Lassiter (Ghost Whisperer)
Very recently, many were stunned with the heartbreaking news of the passing of actress Markie Post at the age of 70. Post is best remembered for being part of the cast of the hit NBC series, Night Court, playing defense lawyer Christine Sullivan for the show's remaining six seasons. The character served as the object of affection for Harold T. Stone (played by the late Harry Anderson), though Dan Fielding (John Larroquette) had his eyes on her as well. Post also co-starred with John Ritter on the CBS series, Hearts Afire, and had many TV and film credits to her name, which included appearing in 18 episodes of NBC's Chicago P.D. as Erin Lindsay's mother, Barbara "Bunny" Fletcher. Markie Post's passing comes less than a month after the death of her Night Court co-star, Charles Robinson, who played Mac for all nine seasons and actually appeared with Post and Anderson in a mini-reunion on an episode of 30 Rock.

Villainess Review: Maeve (iCarly)
I just want to say, I really love Paramount+'s iCarly reboot! This is coming from someone who never religiously watched the original series, but I have seen enough episodes from the original run to know how amazing that show was. So when I learned about a reboot coming to Paramount+ (formerly known as CBS All Access), I was all in. It was amazing to see a vast majority of the original cast back, though the main difference is that the reboot features Laci Mosley as Harper Raines, who serves as Carly's roommate and best friend, filling the void left by the absence of Jennette McCurdy as Sam Puckett.
