Television
Well it was a bitter sweet Sunday last night in Bon Temp County. True Blood had some big reveals, laid some solid ground work for the rest of the season, and said goodbye to a fan favourite character.
Its been about 10 years since HBO's series OZ but it looks like they are back in the prison game. Gruesome acts on the incarcerated, vicious guards on power trips and inmates being sexuality assaulted. The only difference now is the monsters inside the prison are they are actually monsters.
"At Last", the title for the latest True Blood episode, is a reference to a whole bunch of stuff coming to fruition. Maybe its because of the shorter season this year but True Blood isn't wasting any more time with set ups.
This is the kind of episode that got me into this series in the first place. Part supernatural, part B-movie style horror, and all around funny as hell.

Netflix might be the future. The revolutionary little service that allows you to stream movies and television dang near anywhere --including your smart phone and tablet-- has grown by leaps and bounds since its mail-order rental days.
"Oh don't fall into that trap. Best thing I ever did was quit show business. No more disappointment. No more compromise. Now if I fail, it's completely on my terms."
In this fictionalized version of Marc Maron's life, the poor guy can not even afford a proper audio studio to record his podcast on.
The all sizzle and no steak (no vampire pun intended) took a turn for the better this past Sunday. The pieces are starting to come together, direction for where this season is headed is becoming clearer, and some new characters are introduced, re-vamping (I swear I'm not doing this on purpose) the series in a good way.
First a quick rundown of what happened in "The Sun".
"Girls. Right. They're just people. They're... they're horny, scared, angry, bitter people just like me and you."
Those were the horribly self-centered and projected words of advice that Marc had for his assistant, Kyle, after the podcast interview with Aubrey Plaza.
HBO's Sunday nights have been evenings of exciting television thanks to the epic series Game of Thrones. Fans of the network will no doubtably be missing their weekly trips to Westeros, but HBO is banking on the return to Bon Temp can fill that void.
It's the season finale of The Vampire Diaries and while the gang gets ready for graduation, every remaining supernatural being is waiting for the moment to strike.
