True Blood – A tale of two stories

(Season Two, Episode Eight) Over the course of the first half of the season, True Blood has slowly diverged into two separate stories: one based in Dallas, and one in Bon Temps. While everyone (including myself) has been talking about how well the show has been doing, tonight’s episode put a very fine point on […]

Ratings Clack – Michael Westen bested by iCarly?

You know spies — bunch of bitchy little girls. And this week in the ratings post, our favorite spies were beaten by some little girls. It was very close though, if that makes the shot to the ego a little easier to take for Sam and Michael. Those two were the headlines for what was […]

Quotations Marks – Eliot knocks Hardison, Weeds knocks hipocrisy, and FX showrunners knock NBC

Another great quotation week in the world of Television. The great lines weren’t all just on scripted television, as it seemed to be the week of taking shots at NBC, and their … uh … suspect decision making as of late. Can’t say that I blame them. Welcome to the #nbcfail party, boys and girls […]

Being Human – Relationships suck

I see the pattern. Episode one was all about Mitchell. Chapter two dealt with George. Last night, we got the scoop on Annie. Being Human is starting to take shape. Like most shows of its ilk, at least the ones I like anyway, it’s been able to balance the humor and drama quite nicely. If […]
