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.

Villainess Review: Olivia McLeland (All Rise)
First off, I want to say that I am still upset over CBS cancelling All Rise after just two seasons. This was a very good and gripping show that featured an amazing cast and touched on various issues that are hitting society right now. I loved watching this show, but sadly, the show is no more. The show did deliver a bit when it came to villainesses, and the best one, IMO, was featured in the episode "Fool for Liv."

Villainess Review: Leslie Williams (Columbo)
Before the actual Columbo series began in 1971, two pilot episodes aired: "Prescription: Murder" and "Ransom for a Dead Man." The first of the two featured a villainous female accomplice, but it was "Ransom for a Dead Man" (which aired on March 1, 1971) that featured the series' very first female killer, in the form of Leslie Williams.

Villainess Review: Meredith Preminger (Monk)
The episode, "Mr. Monk and the Girl Who Cried Wolf," was an interesting one for Sharona Fleming, as it started with Sharona seeing a murdered man in a parking garage. Sharona's hectic day included finding objects in her home in strange places, as well as being informed by her creative writing teacher, Meredith Preminger, that she didn't turn in her story; despite Sharona swearing that she did so just a few days ago. Sharona's fear that she was losing her mind actually led her to a session with Adrian Monk's therapist, Dr. Charles Kroger, which saw Sharona voice her fear that her time with Monk and his phobias have resulted in her mind possibly unraveling.

Villainess Review: Miranda Hurst (Motive)
A show that I really enjoyed binge-watching was the Canadian crime drama, Motive, which was a rarity in the world of procedural crime dramas, as it was shown in the "howcatchem" format. As you know, the howcatchem, or "whydunit," is the opposite of the standard whodunit; in a whodunit, the viewer (or reader when it comes to literature) has to figure out the identity of the killer along with the characters involved, and that person isn't revealed until the end. In a howcatchem, however, the killer is shown committing the murder in an early scene, with that person's identity already exposed, and the viewer/reader follows the protagonist's pursuit of said killer.

Villainess Review: Adele Bensimon (Bull)
CBS' hit series, Bull, recently celebrated 100 episodes and later ended its fifth season, with a sixth on the way. It's an amazing show; I binge-watched a few years ago and now I watch live on Monday nights. It was on September 20, 2016 that this show began its run with the episode, "The Necklace."

Villainess Review: Anna Mill (Law & Order: SVU)
"Caretaker," a twentieth season episode of Law & Order: SVU, began with a grisly scene, as Julian Mill and his daughter Rachel were both found stabbed to death. Also stabbed was Charlie Mill, the younger offspring, who clung to life before fatally succumbing to his injuries. Anna Mill, Julian's wife and the mother of Rachel and Charlie, was interviewed by Olivia Benson and Amanda Rollins about the deaths, with Anna reacting with shock and horror over the loss of her husband and children. Regarding suspects, the family's nanny, Delores Alverez, was one, though Anna spoke fondly of Delores when asked about her. However, Anna later changed her tune and voiced her regret over hiring Delores, as Anna not only believed that Delores and Julian were having an affair, she also believed that Delores could be the killer.

From Shrek to Royal Legend . AI-Generated.
The Connection between Maurice Tillet and Shrek: A Possible Inspiration Maurice Tillet, a professional wrestler born in France in 1903, was a striking figure for his unique appearance, resulting from a medical condition known as acromegaly. This disease, caused by an overproduction of growth hormone, led to an abnormal growth of bones and tissues, especially in the face, hands and feet. Tillet became a household name in wrestling during the 1930s and 1940s, gaining fame for his athletic ability and striking presence in the ring. His distinctive appearance also made him a figure of curiosity and fascination.

Villainess Review: Cali (Walker)
The CW's Walker series (a reboot of CBS' Walker, Texas Ranger) sees Cordell Walker returning to duty a year after the murder of his wife, Emily Walker--a crime that hadn't been solved until the series' ninth episode, "Rule Number 17." Even prior to the episode, there was an assumed culprit in the form of Carlos Mendoza, but he was cleared and released. Episodes earlier, Geri Broussard, Emily's best friend and the owner of a bar known as The Side Step, was a suspect--and that actually increased in the episode.

Villainess Review: Nicole Morris (Castle)
"Castle, P.I," a seventh season episode of Castle, kicks off with a woman named Shana Baker entering her apartment, only to find herself on the bad end of a gun held by an invasive assassin, who shoots Shana to death. The murder is investigated by Kate Beckett, Javier Esposito, and Kevin Ryan, but in a surprise, Richard Castle enters and reveals that a) he received his PI license, and b) he's also on his own investigation into Shana's murder. The dueling investigations see Castle a step or two ahead of Beckett and the NYPD in a number of forms, including Castle uncovering Shana's occupation as a teacher at a prestigious preschool, as well as interviewing a person close to Shana, her friend Nicole Morris.

Villainess Review: Lucy Ryan (Psych)
I enjoyed watching Psych for all eight seasons, especially Season Four, which had some very amazing and interesting episodes. The season's fourth episode, "The Devil's in the Details...and the Upstairs Bedroom," was one that stood out with me, as the episode's victim was a Catholic college student named Agatha Brontus, who suddenly jumped off the roof and fell to her death. Shawn and Gus' investigation saw them reunited with their former teacher, Father Peter Westley, who voiced his belief that Agatha was possessed by the Devil. Agatha's death was witnessed by her friend, Lucy Ryan, whose home was visited by Shawn and Gus, as they looked to get answers from her.
