If youre a die-hardAngelfan, you might remember watching the series finale and thinking,No! What?And you werent alone. The conversation covered everything from on-set explosions (We flooded theRoswellstages! Twentieth Century Fox says Charisma Carpenter, who played cheerleader-turned-hero Cordelia Chase) to, of course, that divisive final episode. Its very important to me that something goes out as strong as can be, Whedon tells EW. And there was enough time for us to take it where we thought it should go....

“Her sisters gave that piece of pottery to me after she passed away. She sits upstage in the new show, and she watches over all of us. I feel her presence all the time.” Credit: Everett Collection “The first time Mackenzie saw [the doll], she went, ‘Bonnie!’ I didn’t even have to explain,” she added. “Hello, Ann,” Fass chimed in. Stars In The House/YouTube Phillips continued, “And the web connection saw the pilot and they were like, ‘Uh, yeah....

A flashback episode to 2002 shows the earliest origins of Amanda Clarke’s revenge plot. Miramax and the Weinsteins were gearing up their Oscar push forChicago. And NBC was tryingand failingto launch a pre-Mad Men60s nostalgia craze withAmerican Dreams. Credit: Colleen Hayes/ABC As it would be for any 18-year-old. Amanda was quickly escorted outside…to Nolans waiting car. So began a flashback episode that, for my money, was pretty darn disappointing. In fact, it may be the first episode of the series that I can truly call a letdown....

#OccupyDaniel, indeed So the Winter of Our Hamptons Discontent continues. Sure, Emily helped prove Daniels innocence to New York State regarding that little matter of Tylers murder. But shes now judged himguiltyof a far greater existential crime: being a Grayson. Credit: Colleen Hayes/ABC How expertlyRevengehas dispensed with its many tangents to get Emily back to her main mission: payback. Last week, she re-upped her vendetta when she finally realized that Conrad Grayson had her father killed....

IsRevengewell plotted or what? As Justice opened, two long months had passed. It was now December 16, two weeks into Daniels trial. Credit: Colleen Hayes/ABC The Hamptons, previously all sun-kissed and bright, were now gray, windswept, and snowy. Ashley continued her rise to PR power as the Graysons mouthpiece. And Declan had just received a subpoena to testify about what exactly he saw that night. Hes a highly emotional young man…Im saying hes a teenager nursing his first broken heart....

Tyler loses his meds and his mind. But what would Daniel’s birthday party be without a little gunplay? This was a real nice clambake, Were mighty mad we came. Credit: Colleen Hayes/ABC The villains we thought Were tough, were not The company was insane. Our hearts are cold, our bellies are churned, And were not feeling prime. And we all had a real bad time. Actually, they probably would have worked better than Lissies episode-capping emo-pop cover of Metallicas Nothing Else Matters too....

Actually, we shouldallbe forgiven for letting a little bit of the episode title into our brains. Its gotta be the latter, right? Meaning that Takeda reallydoeshave Emily figured out. Credit: Colleen Hayes/ABC Amanda, who would surely reveal everything about Emily if turned over to the authorities. Victoria, for one,reallywants Amanda Clarke to be the fall guy. Thats just bad fashionandbad forensics. Idiocy runs in the Porter family, it seems. NEXT: Would Fitzgerald, Faulkner or Hemingway have drowned their sorrows in wine coolers?...

Well, Doc J was right. And, amazingly, it didnt take long for that mantle to be transferred. That show has turned out to be, of all things, a nighttime soap. Credit: Eric McCandless/ABC She needed to doa lotof reframing in this episode, and so did we. Victoria Grayson, her daughter Charlotte, and nemesis Lydia Davis could all be dead. A pregnant Fauxmanda popped up Whac-A-Mole-style once again to thwart Emilys chance of romance with Jack....

A (quick) critical rundown on three recent albums. Occasionally, Entertainment Weekly publishes short reviews on some of the best records of the month.

The fifth plague, dead livestock, also offers some unintentional hilarity. A similar complaint comes from James Verniere of theBoston Herald: Its raining frogs and locusts, CGI-style. Lets not forgetThe Reapings producers! Care to help out, Scott Weinberg ofCinematical? The Reapingcomes from the horror specialty production house known as DarkCastle. If I were Sudanese, I would be outraged by thisfathead stereotype. On second thought, Im not Sudanese, and Imoutraged by this fathead stereotype....

Dolittle(1998), and lending his voice to movies likeMulan(1998) andShrek(2001). With a catalog spanning many decades and characters along with a singing career! there should be plenty for Murphy to talk about in his monologue. Alan Singer/NBCU (2); Al Levine/NBC But according to the final Buckwheat sketch in 1984, theLittle Rascalscharacterfaked his own death. That’s because MurphyisGumby, dammit. How has #MeToo affected his business model? Either way, we want one of them to pay a visit to Che andColin Jostthis Saturday....

He knew every line of the script on the first day of shooting. Ralph Nelson/Universal Foxs last-minute line-learning also worked its way into the final film. Michael would throw Chris for a loop by saying something that wasnt originally in the script, recalls Gale....
