‘Tis better to have been loved and lost your life, than never to have been loved at all.

That twist on Tennyson pretty much sums up how Fringe‘s Georgina Haig feels about Peter and Olivia’s daughter Etta sacrificing her life at the close of the final season’s fourth episode.

“Before she dies, there’s a moment of peace, almost like a relaxation, as she’s thinking about how she has finally been loved – and she doesn’t care that Windmark…

Fringe’s Etta - Georgina Haig

Fringe’s Etta - Georgina Haig

One of the best casting additions to Fringe this season has been Georgina Haig playing Peter and Olivia’s daughter of fifteen years in the future. Anna Torv has been called Fringe’s Aussie beauty and the interesting thing about Georgina is that she is also from Australia. Anyone else notice a lot of good acting talent is coming out of Australia lately?

As with Anna, I cannot tell in the show that Georgina is Australian. In fact I didn’t know it until recently. That is pretty amazing to me as I personally cannot realistically simulate any other accent on my American english so to see these…

‘Bones’ Headed for Trouble

TV Line

The break-up frenzy that upended Glee earlier this month appears to be spreading to Bones.

On the heels of Sweets and Daisy’s sad split, fresh evidence has emerged that strongly suggests the long-running drama is about to drive a wedge between Angela and Hodgins too!

“Everything that came together in Season 7 is going to fall apart in Season 8,” exec producer Stephen Nathan reveals in the latest installment of Fox’s “Breakfast with Bones” video series. Adds series creator Hart Hanson: “A good template for the [season is], ‘Let’s test everybody who’s in love.’”

Hayden Panettiere Talks About ‘Nashville’

Hayden Panettiere Talks About ‘Nashville’
TV Line

For one, there’s Juliette Barnes, the nubile crossover sensation whose popularity is threatening to dim Rayna’s spotlight. And while Juliette has a lot to learn about acting “nice,” and even as she sets her professional and prurient sights on Rayna’s bandleader Deacon, Hayden Panettiere is quick to sing her alter ego’s praises.

I loved the previous show that Hayden had a big part in, which was Heroes, but I haven’t seen her in anything since. And Nashville doesn’t look like my kind of show. Anyone know if it’s any good? Let us know in the comments.

TV Line

If you already miss Maggie, Kripke is with you. “Anna Lise [Phillips] is a wonderful actress, and I love that character. I sort of have a bad habit in the shows that I run of killing off the people that I love, and Maggie was one of those,” he said.

But to really drive home how perilous and unpredictable the survivors’ reality is, Kripke and his team “very quickly realized the scariest thing we could do was kill the doctor among them,” leaving them helpless, he continued. “It was purely a creative decision about giving the world a real charge of danger. As we move forward in the series,…

Revolution Episode 4 Recap (SPOILERS!)

Revolution Episode 4 Recap (SPOILERS!)
TV Line

Warning: The following recap, by the very definition of the word “recap,” contains spoilers from NBC’s Revolution.

NBC’s Revolution, in its fourth outing, busted out one of the oldest tricks in the book: inviting us to care, more than we had done to date, about a major-ish character, before killing that person off.

In this case, it was Maggie, the steely British doctor who had been Ben Matheson’s “lady friend” and joined Charlie in the mission to find Danny after Ben was killed by the militia.

They definitely played with out emotions in this one. And they certainly wanted to up the…

‘The Mindy Project’ - One Full Season of Awful

‘The Mindy Project’ - One Full Season of Awful
TV Line

Fox is going all the way with The Mindy Projectpicking up the freshman comedy for a full 22-episode season.

Additionally, the network has ordered six additional episodes of fellow rookie Ben and Kate, bringing that sitcom’s Season 1 haul to 19.

Oh, I get the strategy now, Fox is canceling all the good shows and picking up really awful shows instead. If you need any proof of just how bad this show looks, I offer you this trailer (caution, possibly offensive references, particularly one toward the beginning when Mindy is “praying” about the type of man she would like God to bring her……
