The journey of Annie Walker (Piper Perabo) has always been a love story. From the very beginning, we knew that Annie was a girl who followed her heart to the ends of the earth and wherever it led, she would follow. It began when Annie joined the CIA, in search of a man she fell in love with on holiday — a man who disappeared so easily that she figured out that he had to be a spy. Yet Annie’s search for the elusive love of her life, Ben Mercer (Eoin Bailey), was just the beginning. Slipping in and out of her life like a ghost, Ben was the man who gave Annie a taste for adventure and opened the door to international espionage; he introduced her to a world that she had always craved and gave her the courage to embrace it.

Introducing a new feature to Famous Monsters is a quick rundown of the shows reviewed weekly by Andy, ranked in order from the worst (or the least best, if you want to be nice about it) to the best. This week was an especially tough task, because there wasn’t a weak episode in the bunch. Be sure to debate the rankings, provide your own, or insist on any new TV shows that you’d like to see on the list in the comments.
4. Grimm, Season 1, Episode 19, “Leave It To Beavers” (Air Date 4/27)
Sergeant Batista (David Zayas) shows up as a troll hungry for money and beavers in this solid episode that proves he may not have much range beyond Dexter. The ending is pretty great, and the show is relying more on its world than police cases, always a positive sign for a show’s development (if not for ratings).

Once Upon A Time
“The Stranger” Air Date: 4/29/2012
It took 20 episodes, but you’ll finally know who Eoin Bailey’s August/The Stranger is by the end of the first act in this Sunday’s episode. Last week, the writers did a solid job making us think he was Rumpelstiltskin’s son Baelfire, but ABC pulled the ole switcheroo at the last moment. It’s almost impossible to review this episode without revealing who he is in fairy tale lore because even the most basic plot outline makes it overwhelmingly obvious, so you have been warned (that was a Spoiler Alert, by the way). Skip to the last paragraph for my final summarization of the episode if you don’t want it Spoiled.
We begin at Emma and Mary Margaret’s bachelorette pad, where August is finishing up fashioning a new lock on their front door, one that Regina wouldn’t have a key to.

I do believe Once Upon a Time has found it's way! And it happened, funnily enough, in an episode called "True North." After laying a sometimes rocky foundation for its main chracters, Once is now in a position to start bending the fairy tale world to its whims, which it did brilliantly this week, using a pretty traditional take on Hansel and Gretel to explore all the themes it has been grappling with over the previous eight weeks. The Hansel and Gretel story was pretty self-contained, a mystery that was introduced in FairyVille and solved in StoryBrooke, but it played out in a way that revealed something new to us about our main characters in both worlds.
Plus we learned an important new fact about the world of StoryBrooke: When one mystery is solved (i.e. one fairy tale gets its happy ending) another mystery (or character) can be introduced to the town.
