Listen Now

This was another knockout episode for Supernatural -- we got to see the itty-bitty versions of Sam and Dean when they were kids (chronologically, if not in terms of knowledge or responsibility), and the boys make a lot more sense now.

Something is picking off the kids of Fitchberg, Wisconsin -- they're getting sick and dying for no reason. Well, there is a reason, and Dean knows it all too well -- it's a monster that John wasn't able to kill the last time they were in the area. Dean blames himself (or course!) and pledges to take the sucker out once and for all.

Mia and I discuss how we get Dean better now, plus share our childhood monster-protection strategies, reveal what to look out for when you're choosing a physician, marvel at the early evidence of the dreaded puppy-dog eyes, and wonder what the heck someone on the Supernatural writing staff has against Wisconsin.

1) No more secrets!
We were prepared for a long wait until Dean found out Sam was using his mind-mojo to expell demons. Nope: Dean found out before the first commercial break. Plus, Dean is upfront about what he learned from Castiel -- if I don't stop you, they will. Finally, Sam slips up and reveals what he knows about being fed demon blood as a baby. Right there, all the cards are on the table (we hope.) While we do love watching the boys look tortured, we weren't prepared to sit through another ocean of angst. Now the brothers can see what they're up against, deal with it, and move on.

2) Sam gets called on his decision -- and he's got a rational answer!
Dean wasn't the only one to question Sam about what he thought he was doing using demon-granted powers and consorting with Ruby. The demon he originally questioned sneered that Sam was supposed to be some big hero, "and yet here you are, sluttin' around with some demon!" We have to admit, the Sam/Ruby relationship has bugged us, too, especially after ghost Meg asked how he could get it on with Ruby, who was controlling a helpless human meat suit. It's a valid question!

But we finally hear Sam's answer -- not about any Ruby nookie, but about why he's using his powers. He's saving people! Yeah, but why don't you just use the knife, Dean asks. "The knife kills the victim!" Sam replies. "What I do, most of them survive! I've saved more people in the last five months than we've saved in a year!" We even see that he makes Ruby take the former meat suit to the hospital. It's hard to argue with that logic.

But Maxima? She must have felt like her cosmic Match.com profile finally got a wink when Tess' tame scientist accidentally sent off a Kryptonian beacon when they were trying to unlock the secret of the crystal found at the site of Lex's disappearance. See, Maxima is the queen of a race of superpowered, superstrong women, and the men on her planet just aren't cutting it (like we said, we can relate!) When she sees the beacon, she comes a-running -- and the bodies start piling up. Unfortunately, Maxima's kiss is so hot it gives mortal men a fatal coronary (Again, we can.. oh, who are we kidding.) So she leaves a bunch of studly corpses in her wake as she searches for Mr. Kryptonian Right.

We were so excited to get a chance to talk to the great Jim Beaver. He, of course, plays Bobby Singer, our favorite trucker-cap-wearing, holy-water-spiking, no-nonsense-taking father figure on Supernatural. Here, he talks about the direction he gets, why he shows up to work, and how he happened to be behind the wheel of the Metallicar. Plus, find out what Jim drives (or would drive) on his own time!

Jason C. shows us how far he'll go to get the story on Smallville's mysterious new badass, Tess Mercer. Actress Cassidy Freeman talks about Tess' quest for Lex, what she'll do to consolidate power, what she does about a certain red-and-blue blur, and what she really thinks of reporter Lois Lane. Check it out!

We loved the photo shoot this week on America's Next Top Model, because it combined some of our favorite things about award shows -- gorgeous dresses and the potential for public humiliation. Come on, you know that's why you watch, too!

But first it was time for the obligatory model trash-talk. The models discussed AnaLeigh, and came to the conclusion that she was pretty, but didn't really look like a model. No one thought she'd be competition. Then there's Lauren Brie -- a vocal minority (ahem, Sheena) thought that her gorgeous looks didn't make up for her lack of individuality. "Her personality is like her hair," Sheena says. " It's translucent." Again, ouch.

Speaking of ouch... the girls meet up with Tyra to try to work on a signature pose. All the models have one, Tyra says. With Giselle, it's her back, while Tyra herself is all about the eyes. Now its the models turn to figure out why they'll be known for. Some of them apparently think they should be known for looking like they just got mangled in some kind of industrial accident. We understand not wanting to look catalog-y, but do they really have to twist and turn their limbs so horribly?

Ok, 90210 took it up a few notches last night and there is much to discuss. First off, we love how in this still, Naomi is getting arrested but the girl to the left applies her lip gloss as if nothing out of the ordinary was taking place:

Let's get the Annie and Ethan storyline out of the way since right now they aren't incredibly interesting (or is that just us?). Fate throws the two of them together for a parenting assignment where the two need to take care of a robot baby and make sure all of its needs are met. This forces them to spend more time together and by the end of the episode they almost share a kiss only to be disrupted by the horror movie playing in front of them. We say: just get it over with. Their eventual hookup is predictable and neither of them seem too interested in sparing Naomi's feelings so hop to it!

We knew Silver would have Dixon over while Kelly was gone but, like Dixon, we weren't expecting her to bombard him with a horror flick fest. We're happy that they are taking things slowly and not jumping to sexy time right away. It's kind of like the Donna/David relationship from the original series. What impressed us the most was the way Dixon listened to Silver and actively sought out ways to learn more about the things she loves.

On to the juice...The new "girl" at school seems to be taking an interest in Mr. Matthews. She appears to be overtly sexual with him - which makes the discovery of her being an undercover cop a bit more screwed up. We can only imagine that her constant pursuits of Ryan will lead to bad places but since she really is of age - it's her own fault. Can he get in trouble for being involved with someone he thinks is a student who is actually of age? If she's really there to bust kids for drugs why is she paying so much attention to Ryan? We can't wait to see where this all goes.

Pool parties are always fun and this week’s Privileged followed right on cue. There was the biggest fight yet between Lily and Megan, hives for one of the girls and drama between just about everyone else.

We’ve always felt torn between the two Smith sisters. However, this week Will was definitely right on when he told Megan, “This one’s on you.” OMG Megan was so mean to Lily! To hear that something is missing and automatically accuse her sister of stealing is a sad look into their relationship.

Sadder still, Megan - unbeknownst to her - is right! Still, to just accuse your sister of theft without proof is heartbreaking. But we must confess -- perhaps it’s not a bad thing that Megan told Lily she did not want her in her life anymore.

The real question is when will Will finally see the real Lily? Will he feel foolish for believing her even when Megan and Charlie made it clear she was not to be trusted? Will he ever even find out?

What a sweetheart! We loved watching JoAnna Garcia on Reba, so we were thrilled when we found out she'd be starring in Privileged. She's just as nice in person, which you can see when she sits down to talk to our own Jason C. Find out who had JoAnna geeking out on set, who she'd marry in a second (if only he were into her), and how she's dealing with Megan's three-boy juggling act. Plus, hear her prediction on whether Megan and Charlie will ever get together!

Happy birthday to Smallville's Aaron Ashmore, the man behind our favorite gee-whiz photographer, Jimmy Olsen. Aaron turns 29 today.

Aaron has had a long acting career for such a young guy. He and his identical twin, Shawn, started acting in commercials when they were young, and they've never looked back. Since making his feature film debut in 1991, he's appeared on great shows like The West Wing and Veronica Mars. Then came the role of Jimmy Olsen, which Aaron jumped at.

He's kept busy in his downtime, too, appearing with Supernatural's Jared Padalecki in the straight-to-video holiday film The Christmas Cottage. Plus, he's working on two movies -- Dead End, a teens-in-peril thriller costarring Haley Duff and Privileged’s Lucy Hale, and The Thaw, and eco-thriller about an ancient parasite revealed by the melting polar ice.

Jimmy Olsen hasn't been kicking back, either. Last season, he got to put on the James Bond gear and play superspy to protect Chloe. He kicked off this season when Chloe accepted his marriage proposal. We have a feeling things won't go smoothly for the couple -- Chloe's developing new powers, and she's also developing an attraction to Davis Bloome. We can't wait to find out what happens!

Leave your birthday wishes for Aaron in the comments!
