Revenge Clip: Amanda’s "People"

In this new clip from Sunday's Revenge, a very pregnant Amanda shows up to Victoria's house for what looks to be a baby shower, with doting godmother Emily and an entire posse of random girls in tow.

Victoria's reaction to the women, upon learning their profession? Priceless as you'd expect:

In the first sneak peek from "Intuition," posted earlier today, we saw Victoria beckon Amanda to Grayson Manor while Ems plotted to use this new connection to her adversary to her advantage.

Will she succeed? Or more accurately, how will the best laid plans implode this week?

We'll find out Sunday at 9 p.m., in an episode that looks like it could end in heartbreak. If you haven't seen the photos yet, check those out for a major hint at what might happen to one character ...

Anatomic Fashion Friday: Anatomical Cufflinks Roundup

Cufflink-Roundup

I myself never get to wear cufflinks, but I find the idea of them enticing. It’s a nice way for men to personalize their wardrobe (similar to fun socks or belt buckles). Subtle and small, all of these pieces would look visually striking at the end a crisp shirt.

  1. These acrylic hearts by Etsy artist, TheSpangledMaker, would allow you to literally “wear your heart on your sleeve.”($20)
  2. Paul Smith can do no wrong in my book (fashion-wise) and these blue and white skulls look antique but cool. ($250)
  3. Beth Croce is an Australian medical illustrator who created these guts and the next cufflinks. She has a large collection of anatomical goodies. ($220)
  4. Also by Beth Croce, these vertebrae are so delicate and detailed. Hand crafted goodness. ($260)
  5. Also by TheSpangledMaker, these acrylic brains are simply delightful. ($20)

Ars Moriendi (The Art of Dying), Loreto Prague, Through November 30th

Exciting exhibition alert; I am severely tempted to try to make it here before it closes...

ARS MORIENDI
Loreto Prague, Loretánské nám.7,  118 00 Praha 1 – Hrad?any
Exhibition extended until 30th November.

The aim of the exhibition is, above all, to introduce to the public the hitherto unknown space of the crypt for benefactors beneath the church of the Nativity of Our Lord. A fascinating discovery in the crypt revealed unique Baroque mural paintings depicting motifs of Death and Resurrection – allegories of Time, symbols of fragility and transience of human existence. These frescos of exceptional quality were created in 1664 by the means of the special technique of chiaroscuro – employing exclusively the shades of black and grey. The work of their author, perhaps a Capuchin order painter, was derived from the Flemish and Dutch prints and was commissioned by the then patroness of Loreto, Countess Elisabeth Apollonia of Kolowrat. The main scene depicting the Raising of Lazarus was based on the famous etching by Rembrandt, which later inspired numerous artists across the centuries, including Van Gogh – the Loreto fresco is remarkable because it is a very early reaction to Rembrandt’s work created while he was still alive...

... Part of the presentation will be dedicated to other interesting exhibits associated with the burial practices in Loreto – for example the unknown ground plan of the Lobkowicz crypt of patrons beneath Santa Casa, design of Castrum Doloris created in 1698 for the burial of the Count Václav Ferdinand of Lobkowicz, collection of the Baroque funerary textiles or several reliquary crosses which were part of the Loreto treasure and had not yet been exhibited.

The exhibition will also introduce the customs related to burying in the Capuchin order crypts. Borrowed for this occasion from the Brno crypt were Baroque coffin lids with painted decoration, portraits and coats of arms of selected donors who sought their final resting place with the Capuchins. The perception of the order spirituality of Franciscan observance in the funerary sphere is broadened by the presentation of two Baroque Franciscan convent mortuaries.

It rarely happens that an entirely unknown monument in the centre of Prague is discovered. The Loreto exhibition offers an opportunity to get more closely acquainted with the impressive crypt space decorated with unique paintings and with the Baroque ARS MORIENDI – The Art of Dying – the inner grasp of the end of human existence as a gate to eternal life.

You can find out more here. Thanks so much to Pam Grossman for letting me know about this!

Anatomy of a Debate Fight: The Energy Question

There were a couple exciting moments in the presidential debate last night when President Obama and Mitt Romney revealed they do not like each other very much. One of those was on the not-typically-emotionally-charged issue of energy permits. Relive it in our GIF anatomy of the fight.

RELATED: Ryan Better Liked Than Biden Ahead of Debate

Setup:

RELATED: Conservatives Will Love Moderate Mitt as Long as He's Winning

Romney responds to a question about gas prices by saying that Obama hasn't pursued an energy policy that would drive prices down. Obama responds that he's encouraged growth in all energy sectors, both clean and dirty, and that that will create jobs. "That's the strategy you need, an all-of-the-above strategy, and that's what we're going to do in the next four years."

UCSF anatomy center's high-tech upgrade

For the new Anatomy Learning Center at UCSF's Parnassus campus, school officials sought to integrate high-tech tools with the classic cadaveric dissection.

The result: Instead of paper manuals, each lab table has an iPad uploaded with the manual, interactive graphics and quizzes. Faculty use mobile cameras to beam images of a cadaver wirelessly to TV screens and the iPads throughout the room. And students can watch surgeries taking place somewhere else on campus.

"It's about making the lab extend beyond the walls," said Chandler Mayfield, director of technology-enhanced learning in the university's School of Medicine.

The university and designers consulted with students and faculty for months to find out what they wanted to see in the $7.5 million learning center, which opened in August and was paid for with public and private funding. In addition to the lab, it includes offices, a classroom with wireless video capabilities, and a memorial wall where students can commemorate those who donated their bodies for their education.

The university shut down the old anatomy lab in September 2010 because its ventilation system was so outdated that chemical levels got too high. For the past two years, while the new center was being designed and built, students and faculty had to make do sharing the School of Dentistry's lab.

The old lab was a relic of the 1950s. The tables were made mostly of wood and were too tall for many students. The lights provided uneven lighting for students dissecting cadavers. And the circulation problems left the smelly embalming chemicals hanging in the air.

"Your hair would reek, your clothes would reek," said anatomy Professor Kimberly Topp. "You would get into the elevator, and everyone knew where you had been."

The new 3,500-square-foot lab is in the same place as the old lab on the medical school's 13th floor. Wall-to-wall windows look out onto Golden Gate Park and into Marin. It feels light and spacious, despite the 30 exam tables with four students buzzing around each.

Six 72-inch TV screens line the wall opposite the windows, and whiteboards with handwritten lists of muscles, bones and ligaments cover much of the remaining wall space. The ceiling is dotted with wireless routers, retractable extension cords and surgical lights that students can maneuver over their cadavers.

Architect Malvin Whang of the firm Harley Ellis Devereaux said he tried to create a warm and inviting space where students would want to study and that also met the functional needs of an anatomy lab.

Dexter Review: A Necessary Evil

What a terrific episode of Dexter.

Continuing the theme of Season 7 - Deb vs. Dexter vs. his Dark Passenger vs. her confusion on how to control it - "Buck the System" featured a number of tense, intriguing discussions between brother and sister, while posing the legitimately difficult question:

Is Dexter a necessary evil in the world?

Deb, Dex, Dead Body

For years, Dexter has rambled about change and fitting in and whether he can just be a normal human being. But he can't be. We've all known this for awhile and it's been refreshing this season to hear Dexter admit as much.

But does that mean there's no place for him in society? It was fascinating to watch Dexter actually let Deb into his universe, to take her along to the suspect stakeout and attempt to explain his routine and his rationale for who he selects. He really is trying; not to change, but to adapt to this new situation.

It made sense Deb would reject the notion at first out of sheer shock and disgust that her brother is a serial killer, not to mention that pesky detail that she's a police captain assigned to uphold the law. But then she got a first hand look at Ray, at the fact that monsters really do exist in the world and it's a simple fact that the system can't always bring them to justice.

Can she sign off on Dexter's murderous habit? Can she openly approve and even assist him with the kills? Of course not. It would be far too abrupt a change.

But can Deb try to turn a blind eye? Absolutely. What's the alternative? Arrest her brother? Lose the most important person in her life and walk around knowing that person actually could have saved a few innocent lives? These are sincerely interesting, ethical questions.

Dexter has never really tackled them before. Viewers were introduced to the character as a killer and to the show as a very dark comedy. We were just meant to accept his urges and go along for the ride. However, to borrow the most overly-used phrase in the television reviewing business, the game has now changed and the fascination with Season 7 so far hasn't been any kind of action or suspense.

It's been the moral quandary into which Dexter has placed Deb. It's impossible not to wonder what one would do in her situation and equally as difficult to come up with an answer.

Other developments outside of sibling showdowns this week:

  • Yvonne Strahovski debuted as Hannah McKay. It's not exactly hard to see why Chuck viewers were such big fans of the actress, but it's way too early to judge her role on Dexter. There's clearly a whole lot more to the character outside of her affection for plants.
  • Please tell me Quinn's plan was always to pump the stripper... for information. Up until her admission that she was being asked to do the same to him, Quinn came across like he really was just trying to tap some more inappropriate ass.
  • So long, Louis. The conclusion to this storyline felt a bit rushed and convenient. I was anxious to see how Dexter would deal with such a non-lethal nuisance in his life and the answer felt like a cop-out: he wouldn't. The foreign mob boss would do the job for him.
  • But now that mob knows the name Dexter Morgan, opening up the cat-and-mouse game this series often pulls off so well.

What did everyone else think? How would you react if were you in Deb's shoes? And are you as on board for this vastly improved seventh season as I am?

Why Emily Owens, M.D. Is Grey's Anatomy 2.0

Mamie Gummer, Ellen Pompeo

From the moment Emily Owens, M.D. begins, one thought will surely cross your mind: This feels very familiar.

That's because The CW's new medical dramedy is pretty similar to ABC's stalwart Grey's Anatomy from the titular protagonists' names to the voiceovers and even the characters, the tone of Shonda Rhimes' medical drama is present.

Emily Owens stars Mamie Gummer (The Good Wife, Off the Map) as a first-year intern who, while working alongside her best friend/crush (Justin Hartley) and her childhood nemesis (Aja Naomi King), must learn the hard way that hospitals are a lot like high school.

VIDEO: Watch the premiere of The CW's Emily Owens, M.D. online now!

"I think that every medical show now is going to be compared to Grey's," Gummer tells TVGuide.com. "I did a show called Off the Map and it was set in a jungle and everyone was comparing it to Grey's. It's sort of inevitable. Grey's has gotten a little gray. It has more somber notes generally than we do, but Grey's is a great show and it's been running forever, so obviously they're doing something right."

What they're doing right is exactly what Emily creator Jennie Snyder Urman probably hopes to capitalize on considering archetypes from the Shondaland flasgship series can be found in the CW show. Let's take a look at the characters to see how similar they really are:

Emily Owens (Mamie Gummer) is Meredith Grey: Both docs came to their respective hospitals wide-eyed and hoping to make a difference, but where Mer went dark and twisty, Emily is still hoping to hang on to her bright and shiny side, which offers a lot of awkward comedy as she navigates the waters of residency. "She's generally awkward," Gummer says. "She's lacking in social graces, but she's very well-intentioned. She's smarter and has more depth than she's given credit for or that she's aware of. She's a kind of geeky character." And although both characters use voiceover narration, expect more from Emily than what you're used to from Grey's.

Will Rider (Justin Hartley) is Derek Shepherd: Like Derek was to Meredith, this is ultimately the heartthrob that you and Emily will be rooting for her to end up with. No random one-night stands here, though, as the duo went to medical school together and she's been harboring a longtime crush on her pal. "You learn that they have a real friendship founded on a lot of shared experience and true affection," Gummer says. "It's not just a girlish crush that she has." And just like Grey's dragged out the will-they-won't-they tension for MerDer, so too will Emily as Gummer says they're still working through that in episodes they're currently filming.

Grey's Anatomy Scoop: Is There Hope for Cristina and Owen?

Sandra Oh, Kevin McKidd

Sure, Mark Sloan and Lexie Grey died, and Arizona had her leg amputated. But what has been most painful for some Grey's Anatomy fans this season is the agonizing distance between Cristina (Sandra Oh) and Owen (Kevin McKidd).

After the plane crash, Cristina hightailed it out of Seattle, willing to deal with the harsh winter of Minnesota to get as far away from her old stomping grounds as possible. Does her move signal the end of C/O as we know it? "I think they really are destined to be together," McKidd tells TVGuide.com.

Grey's Anatomy Sneak Peeks: April's back! Cristina's miserable!

Let's all take a moment to exhale. Below, McKidd dishes on what's in store for the troubled lovers this season, including Owen's big move. Plus: What are the repercussions of the plane crash? Get the scoop:

What can you tell us about Cristina and Owen's journey this year? Kevin McKidd: It's hard to see just how they're going to fix things. They're pretty damaged and there have been wrongs done on both sides. They're both pretty strong-willed people, they love each other and they've got this deep connection that's undeniable. In the first couple of episodes, you don't really see them make much headway. Owen's trying to reach out to Cristina and she's not really able or willing to receive much from Owen yet. There's still that distance between them that hopefully will break down as they move forward. They're very much as separate as they've ever been even though they're married.

But is there hope for them? McKidd: I think there's hope. I just hope they can make it because I think they're a cool couple and I think they really are destined to be together, but how they do that is hard to tell at the moment. I think it's going to be Owen striving to win her back, but it's going to take a while.

With all the death and damage from the plane crash, Owen seems to be handling being in charge well. McKidd: The good thing about Owen this year is he's rising to the occasion. Even though this is maybe the toughest year at Seattle Grace with all this loss going on, he's doing a good job. He's not a shoulder to cry on or touchy-feely, but he knows what people need.

He also needs his own safety valve. I think he realizes, in the episode that I'm directing, through speaking to Callie [Sara Ramirez] and going through his own process, that he needs to simplify his life. Things are so complex here. So, he decides that he's moving out of the firehouse and he's going to ask Derek [Patrick Dempsey] if he can stay in the woods in the trailer. It seems like the natural place for Owen to regress to when things are really bad. He goes to the ultimate man cave and just really downsizes his life and just lives out in the woods and runs the hospital. He's in a bit of a holding pattern, in a way. He's waiting to see where Cristina is, he's feeling very helpless and very out of control and all that stuff, so that's how he's coping with it.

Grey’s Anatomy Sneak Peeks: I’m Laughing, Just Not Externally

When Grey's Anatomy returns Thursday, a familiar face makes a triumphant and unexpected return.

Also, many miles away, another familiar face is asked to turn that frown upside down.

Cristina Yang is miserable in Minnesota, which her new boss (guest star Steven Culp) picks up on and seeks to change. Begrudgingly (and hilariously), she agrees, but that external smile belies deeper issues.

Back in Seattle, Alex gets a lecture from Callie about not sleeping with his intern, and none other than Dr. April Kepner shows up at the hospital, having been brought back by Hunt. The team is surprised to say the least, and she's clearly taken aback herself when she realizes Jackson changed his mind and did not go to Tulane.

Watch the awkwardness ensue in three clips from "Love the One You're With" below:

Revenge Clips: What is Victoria’s Story?

ABC has released four clips from tomorrow night's Revenge, two of which involve the white-haired man (WHM) at various points. First, we see Victoria and Daniel meet in a familiar spot at Grayson Manor.

As mother and son ponder their own insomnia (and Emily Thorne's), Victoria claims that the press won't back off until she reveals her story. We then see a big piece of her story revealed via flashback:

That's a pretty big piece of the puzzle, with more sure to come. Now that he's dead, of course, Victoria will try to spin this slightly differently as she reenters Hamptons society and plots her next move.

Flash forward to the present and WHM has just been offed by Aiden, as seen in last week's "Resurrection." Emily's mysterious savior tells he she is compromising the mission by pursuing her mother.

Takeda and Aiden want to ensure she stays focused, but Ems has other ideas:

The two additional clips below show Victoria and family bracing for the media storm to come. She's planning on putting the rumors to rest once and for all, and calls on the family to put on a united front.

That doesn't include Emily, however. Daniel clearly misses her and has feelings for his next-door neighbor, but Victoria makes it clear she wants her gone. We wouldn't hold our breath if we were her ...

"Confidence" airs Sunday at 9 p.m. EST. Share your comments, views and predictions below!

Grimm Review: Fate Only Pulls in One Direction

One of Grimm’s best assets is the ability to show someone’s true colors. What is just below the exterior of a character?

"The Bottle Imp" did just that, and in a way that made both the procedural story and the continuing character arcs richer.

Hank & Nick On the Move

The plot twist of the little girl, April, being the Wesen hurting and murdering people didn’t surprise me too much, considering the Grimm-pedia specifically mentioned “offspring” (while being conveniently left out by Nick and Hank).

But what did take me aback - and what was so much fun to watch - was this living and breathing Wesen world that each creature adapts to and carves out for his/her kind. April’s family members know that as they grow up hormones tend to send them out of control, and to provide a counterbalance to that they have a Wesen of their own looking out for them and keeping them in line in at Juvenile Detention.

The biggest take away from the entire case this week was Nick’s reaction to April near the end when he kept watching her in the interrogation room. There are a couple ways to take this, and it could be as simple as Nick waiting to see the guard introduce herself to April. But I see it as Nick continually realizing just how much he is losing from Juliette’s forgotten memories.

Over the course of the episode Nick grew attached to April and the feeling became mutual. Parlay that with Nick’s dream of Juliette remembering everything about them and it’s not hard to imagine Nick is longing for the life he once had. However, Nick’s fate as a Grimm seems to be taking the reigns, as Aunt Marie’s warning that he should break it off with her because his life will become too dangerous continues to come true.

Plus, Nick’s attempt to remind Juliette of what they once lost by dancing with her had completely unseen results: A kiss with Juliette leaves her seeing Renard instead of Nick.

Poor Juliette, she’s ending up in a big mess of collateral damage because Adalind plays dirty.

Renard is another story, and I (still) can’t read him for the life of me. Is his newfound obsession with Juliette because of the potion he took to wake her up, or are these feelings been just below his unbreakable exterior much longer? If this is being set up as some kind of super awkward Days of our Lives love triangle you can count me out on that story.

Finally, we have Hank. As I’ve mentioned before, Hank being in on the secret makes him far more interesting, and tonight he gets to see Nick’s playground: the trailer. Grimm is playing with this “core three” of Nick, Hank and Monroe a lot more this season from promos, posters and art to every week Hank learning just how much of a partner Monroe is when Hank couldn’t be or can’t be to Nick.

Here, Hank learned that Monroe was the one who saved him way back in “Game Ogre,” and the more Hank learns of Monroe the more the fear dissipates in place of admiration.

A few more thoughts:

  • Adalind is back! And she’s just as mysterious and connected as Renard, but the difference is Renard doesn’t really have any sort of control over her.
  • I still think Adalind’s cat is the key to getting all of Juliette’s memory back.
  • Monroe taking care of the spice shop, while funny, is not somewhere I want him to be. I want him back out in the field helping Nick out, but I can’t fault him he’s being a good friend/boyfriend.
  • I totally want a storage shed buried in a remote location.

Alexis and Martha are already in on the relationship, of course... much to the chagrin of Castle in this sneak peek, as they pepper him with questions and advice:

Finally, the pair arrives at its destination. There are stars in the air. There's a heated pool awaiting a late-night dip. There's a very naked Kate Beckett - and there's a dying man in their backyard:
