Don't forget to spread the word for your favorites! Nominations are now closed for the mini-contest, which will start tomorrow in round 4.

TV Talk Topic:


Warning:   Here there be spoilers. Since we are talking about character redemption storylines, some things are naturally going to be discussed. It makes no sense to me to block out the entire comments section with spoiler tags, so please mark what show(s) you are talking about in the beginning so if it is a show where someone doesn’t want to be spoiled, they will know to skip it.

TV Talk Topic: Turning It Around - In the current TV landscape, antiheroes are all the rage, but what about those characters trying to rise above a mess of their own making? Which characters have had the best redemption arcs on TV? (Special thanks to Kate/Kili, Chloe Kurnow, and Ekon for the topic suggestion.)
