At the end of last season we were left with Audrey mysteriously abducted and the ambiguity of Duke's character split even further with the knowledge that he is meant to kill Audrey and that his gift/truble works by taking on the talents of others through exposure to their blood. But Duke swears that he isn't his father and means no harm to Audrey.
Duke and Nathan team up to search for Audrey but they trust each other even less than usual and it seems another Haven woman has disappeared under mysterious circumstances, though her son believes that the evidence points to alien abduction. His grandfather was an alien abduction historian and taught the grandson everything he knows.
Sorting out the aliens from the troubled and finding Audrey takes up the bulk of the episode and very little is added to the long-standing arcs except that the mysterious Colorado Kid who was so central during the last cycle of the troubles may be even more mysterious than he first appeared.
A good but not great opening to the season, but I love Haven and believe that the writers are holding back on major revelations in order to dish them out over the entire season. Finding out who or what Audrey is and how Duke will cope with his destiny and whether Audrey and Nathan will overcome the star-crossed nature of their relationship and what the truth about the two newspaper brothers and previous incarnations of Audrey is....just so many great plot arcs and I will be tuned in on Fridays to see how it all plays out. If you are new to Haven I recommend starting with Seasons 1 and 2 and entering the troubled world of Haven at your earliest possible convenience.

Nurse Jackie just keeps getting better and better
"Nurse Jackie" just keeps getting better and better. Season Four of the show is by far the best season to date, and that's saying a lot. This season, Jackie (Edie Falco) is reeling from her breakup with Kevin and her self-admission of being a drug addict. She finally (albeit grudgingly) begins taking responsibility for her past behavior and enters rehab while fighting to retain custody of her two kids. Meanwhile, big changes are underway over at All Saints as Bobby Cannavale joins the cast as the high-strung control freak Dr. Mike Cruz, the new head of the hospital who shakes up the E.R. and becomes a major thorn in everyone's side, especially Jackie's. The supporting cast members all enjoy great storylines as well. O'Hara and Zoe make big decisions about their personal lives, Gloria and Eddie are forced to make some big changes of their own, and Thor is has some of the funniest one-liners of the season and never fails to steal the show whenever he's on screen. Perhaps the one shortcoming of the season is the show's under-utilization of Coop, who doesn't have much of a storyline this time around. Still, the other fabulous elements of this season compensate for that, in my opinion.
The final episode of the season is the most shocking and moving episode of the show that we've ever seen. The final few moments are something that I didn't see coming, and it's unknown how everything will pan out for everyone in Season 5.

Gossip Girl series finale
This show ended right before it jumped the shark, IMO. When all the characters were in high school, all the scheming and conniving seemed very slick and somehow mature. It fit in with the characters. It even worked when they were all in their first years of college, but then it just got old. I'm all for the willing suspension of disbelief, but I find it hard to believe that out of a group of 5 super privileged children, not a one of them finished college, but they all managed to get amazing jobs. Heck I found it a little hard to believe that any of them got into college, since they appeared to spend about 10 minutes a day in school. The show had lost its mojo and found it again a little with the Blair and the Prince storyline, but then lost it pretty quick.
However, the series finale was worth it. And what a shocker the identity of gossip girl was.....I have to say it was something I never in a million years saw coming. That alone was worth the $1.99 to watch the series finale. Too many series finales leave everything open (Sopranos), or make it completely confusing (Lost) and that just feels wrong, the Gossip Girl series finale did a great job of wrapping it all up with a nice little bow and I loved it. And they did something else I love, which was to sort of do an epilouge type thing where you get to catch up with the characters five years late. I haven't seen that done often, but I do love it, especially in a show like this one.

Shep Smith expect True Blood Cameo
Last year, Smith was also discussing the allegations against Lance Armstrong when he decided he wanted to talk about "True Blood series" instead.
As viewers may know, Shep Smith is a huge fan of "True Blood." The Fox News host has turned discussions of Lance Armstrong's doping scandal and the royal baby's birth into spontaneous chats about the HBO show.
On Tuesday, the Fox News host issued his latest declaration of his love for the show, and made a pitch for a cameo. After sharing news of "True Blood" star Evan Rachel Wood's new baby, he said, "I really want to be on that show. I feel like I can play a reporter in there, like, a cameo next year."
Smith recently compared the royal baby, whose name had not yet been announced, to Sheriff Balfour's fairy daughters, saying that the surviving fairy baby wasn't named Adeline Braylon Charlene Danika until episode six of this season. "Something tells me that will not be the name of His Majesty, the baby," he said.

Cult favorite "Forever Knight"
In its third season, cult favorite "Forever Knight" continues a fine tradition of excellent, even thought-provoking storytelling while concluding the saga of Nick Knight, 13th Century vampire and 20th Century Toronto homicide detective.
In the opening double episode of the season, "Black Buddha", a deranged bomber destroys an airliner leaving Toronto, precipitating a major shakeup in the cast of "Forever Knight." Knight's partner and his precinct captain are killed in the crash. Knight's new partner is Tracy Vetter, an inexperienced and often impulsive detective whose father happens to be police commissioner. Her arrival allows an interesting plot twist. Tracy falls in love with the boyishly charming vampire Vashon, but remains unaware that Nick is also a vampire, leading to a series of humorously ironic situations, notably in the episode "My Boyfriend is a Vampire.".
Season Three continues the themes of the series. Nick hungers for redemption and struggles with the guilt of 800 years of killing. He continues to work through a complicated relationship with police coroner and close confidant Natalie Lambert. Their love for each other will come to drive several episodes and the ending of the series.
As in Seasons One and Two, actions relentlessly have consequences; Nick's life is repeatedly made complex by his struggle to balance his vampire nature against his instinct to act for good. Nick's tendency to resort to his vampire abilities to solve crime sometimes complicates the cases or threatens the intended moral outcome.
Nick's vampire mentor LaCroix plays a large role, continuing his delicate wrestling match with Natalie for Nick's soul while sometimes bailing Nick out of trouble. Nick will try to return the favor when LaCroix faces his own long estranged and vengeful vampire mentor in "Ashes to Ashes".
Jeanette, Nick's fellow vampire and sometime lover from the first two seasons, has "moved on" but resurfaces in "The Human Factor" to validate Nick's search for his lost humanity and to offer a seeming alternate pathway back to it.
