Thank God it’s Friday (& 4/20 at that. 😉 )… That’s all I have to say. We’re gearing up for the end of this season. You can tell because a lot of shows are taking a week or two off before May sweeps and the last run of new episodes for the 2011-2012 season. I’m going to be looking into switching cable companies (we’ve been with AT&T U-Verse for years now, but we’re getting tired of how much we’re paying, and my husband hasn’t been happy with the speed of the internet for a while…), but I have to figure out the best time to do it. The break between end of this season & start of most of the summer shows is perfect. Anyway, on to what we think you should be watching tonight, regardless of who your TV & internet comes from! 😉

The last new episode of Nikita was 3 weeks ago, and it was a whopper. Through a crazy, awesome plan involving Nikita, Michael, Birkoff, Alex took control of her father’s company, later passing control to one of the men she trusted. That meant Ari (and subsequently, Amanda) was out on his ass, and now he & Amanda (who, by the way, had a couple of f***-awesome scenes with Nikita, where they each could have killed the other but didn’t…) are on the run with a black box. With Amanda ousted from Division, Percy is back in charge there. It’s a crazy time, man. Crazy. This week promises to be even crazier, judging by the episode description & preview!
On tonight’s episode, “Wrath,” when Nikita worked for Division, she targeted a man named Nicholas Brandt (guest star Rick Ravanello) and infiltrated his inner circle. She captured him, and he’s been behind bars ever since. However, Percy springs Brant, and his first mission is to capture Nikita for payback. After he has her in his clutches, he tortures her, forcing Nikita to face a side of herself she thought she had long buried. Meanwhile, Percy continues to play mind games with Michael, Alex, and Sean, pushing one of them to the brink of death.
Do not miss it tonight on The CW at 8/7c. Learn where to find episodes online of Nikita @ Clicker.

The other day, I was looking at shows that are building up on my DVR, and Scott, my husband, just shook his head and sighed. I have six episodes of Burn Notice (which includes last season’s finale) and five episodes of Royal Pains on there. That’s every episode of the first and all but the first two episodes of the second so far this season. I can’t bring myself to watch them (although I have hopes about that changing soon with Burn Notice…). Why? Because I hate a story line so much on both shows that I can’t enjoy the shows themselves. And yes, the title of this post is about a Shipper (which, if you don’t know, means someone who roots for a certain relationship (ergo, “shipper”) from a TV show, movie, book, whatever. Not all of this rant is about relationship woes on TV, but I suppose there is an underlying theme for most of them. 😉
