Television
Need to get caught up on television's best-written sci-fi series on the air before those premier weeks start back up? Then look no further than the third season of FOX's mind-
On the cusp of True Blood's fourth season finale the side story-lines get a much needed reprieve in this second last episode of the year, just so that all hell could break loose.
With the countless years of practice vampires seem to find it pretty easy to get the stain of blood out of everything they touch. A little glamouring here and there and all their problems seem to just disappear.
After last week's grave yard brawl things couldn't get any messier.... or could they? "Let's Get Out of Here" sets straight most of last week's craziness only to turn everything upside by the end of the episode. Only this time on live TV.
With the vampire BBQ now over and sun down the Louisiana King goes on damage control after the town's newest centuries old wrathful necromancer's genocide spell. In the aftermath of Antonia's spell Jessica is saved by Jason and then later breaks it off with Hoyt to push both of them away.
In a universe where vampires roast rather than glimmer in the day time sunlight isn't an option. Being pulled into the light might be fine for a twihard like Rob Pattinson or a day-walking Wesley Snipes, but Bon Temps' vamps have to develop a silver fetish if they don't want to be Louisiana BBQ.
With this episode, "I Wish I Was the Moon", True Blood gets to the half-way point for this summer series fourth season.
A Tribute to Nerds: The Big Bang Theory's Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar host the nerdy Just for Laughs showcase

Nerds. Geeks. Fanboys. All these words used to be used to describe those who were considered the social outcasts. It wasn't cool to like comic books or computers. You couldn't get girls playing Dungeons & Dragons or possessing an ounce of intelligence.
Just for Laughs Interview: Evany Rosen and Cheryl Hann of Picnicface

Halifax-based sketch comedy troupe Picnicface has a big second half of 2011 ahead. Besides their brand-new eponymous television show, which debuts this fall on The Comedy Network, they've also completed a feature film, Roller Town, which they hope will hit theatres this fall, as well.
In this week's True Blood episode, "Me and the Devil", it didn't have that usually shock and awe humour this Sunday night series is normally known for. Rather it seemed like it was more of a bridging episode, with strong religious over tones, than a regular standalone episode.
