| The third season of Homeland premieres tonight at 9PM EST on Showtime. |
The first two seasons of this drama-thriller literally swept through television audiences like wildfire, including our own President. Although terrorist affairs aren't typically my preference of TV entertainment, so many factors contribute to the greatness of this show. Two-time Emmy award-winner Claire Danes is poignant as the bipolar, jazz-loving CIA agent Carrie Mathison. We endured the critical events of Agent Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis), a man who turned on his country for reasons pertaining to his past relationship with high-ranking terrorist Abu Nazir. Following the track from last season's finale, we're about to witness severe vetting in regards to the bombing of the CIA headquarters. Most notably, Saul Berenson, whom I have waited specifically to hear from. The trailer for the third season of Homeland gives a peek into federal trials

| Scandal premieres its third season on October 3 at 10PM EST on ABC. |
Shonda Rhimes hit another ABC gold mine with Kerry Washington as Olivia Pope. Season three for Pope and Associates will include the season's theme, "The Secret is Out", consistent with us last seeing Olivia blasted by media asking about her affair with the President. We also now have Olivia's father in the picture, adding to the story development we should see with other characters like Huck and Quinn. This third season should prove to be as electrifying as the last. See one of the latest promo trailers for Scandal season three below.

| Revenge premieres its third season tonight at 9PM EST on ABC. |
Even though this show might be described best as a superior soap opera, there's something about The Hamptons, Emily Thorne, Victoria Grayson, and the deep-rooted vendetta that sucks me in. Executive producer and show runner Mike Kelley stepped down after last season and is replaced by Sunil Nayar. At perhaps the critical moment in the show's story, you want to see Revenge respond accordingly from Emily Thorne's anticipated confession in the season two finale. The trailer for tonight's premiere begs for plenty of questions to be asked, and we'll see if the implications of Jack's knowledge of the real Amanda Clarke have anything to do with it. Check out the trailer below.

| Once Upon a Time premieres its third season at 8PM EST tonight on ABC. |
Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz cultivated a pretty extensive fairy tale drama series for ABC. The cursed town of Storybrooke is host to classic names like Snow White, Prince Charming, Little Red Riding Hood, Jiminy Cricket, Cinderella, and Captain Hook. Our heroes travel to Neverland for the third season, where Peter Pan will serve as more of a villain than you'll remember from the original story. If anything else,
Once Upon a Time is reminiscent of childhood fables, crafted into a running narrative that brilliantly binds these characters and their fates. The trailer for season three is below.

| The Vampire Diaries premieres its fifth season on October 3 at 8PM EST on The CW. |
I've already expressed my preference for the supernatural, and watching TVD through the first and second seasons was a compelling experience. Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson's series based on the novel series by L.J. Smith is not without it's overarching love story, but I watch for the plot twists and story/character developments. I also enjoy the more genuine, wholesome, human-based aspect of TVD as compared to its counterpart True Blood (full comparison to come soon). The upcoming fifth season will now have Elena decidedly with Damon, and hopefully a worthy new villain (Silas) to replace Klause. Remember, Silas is now Stefan's 'doppelganger'. Also remember that Katherine is now human. I'd like to see The Vampire Diaries return to some of it's prior glory. Check out the trailer for season five below.
