True Blood 2.4 + 2.5 – Shake and Fingerpop & Never Let Me Go
Dallas may be the most vampire-friendly city in America, but for Bill and Sookie, it’s full of danger and mystery, conspiracy and telepathy. Our recap of Ep 4, “Shake and Fingerpop” and Ep 5, “Never Let Me Go” are below—a bit late due to a TiVo malfunction, but no less recapful and ever so [...]

Just when things couldn’t get any stranger in poor Bon Temps, Sookie goes out for a midnight stroll—or a midnight angry storm away from her vampire boyfriend—and gets gored by a gigantic, muscular monster that bears a suspicious resemblance to a mythological bull-like creature. Or Tim Curry in Legend. Spoilers and recap after [...]

Tuesday, June 23, 2009
The initial sequence in “Keep This Party Going”, Episode 2 of True Blood’s second season, is disarming. Literally. One thing is clear: HBO’s hottest vampire drama will pull no punches this season. Things are going to get messy. Spoilers below.

Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) has the distressing ability to say the word “Sookie” in such a growing, guttural way that it is akin to him having non-consensual sex with your ears. It is nothing short of a full-on predator sexual molestation of the English language, and but one of many reasons why HBO’s True Blood is the most compelling show on television today. Sunday night saw the debut of the second season of the swelteringly sexy and seductive vampire drama, bringing us back to Bon Temps exactly where we left off—a dead body outside Merlotte’s.

HBO wraps up the season finale on True Blood and leaves audiences hungry for more. For a show that cut its teeth being sexy, outrageous, controversial and completely insane, the season finale was surprisingly… normal. Almost boring, even. Hey, I was surprised as you. Read on for a breakdown, and spoilers below.

Monday, November 24, 2008
Okay, True Blood fans, this is the last of our recaps before we dive into the finale, which we’ll be posting later tonight. It’s been a sweaty, sexy journey full of fangs and fun, but quite rewarding in a naked kind of way. Do you think it’s any coincidence that the finale of [...]

Sunday, November 23, 2008
A short (12 episode) but uncharacteristically serious season of Entourage comes to an end. Having fallen from his position of Hollywood golden boy and being fired from his last film (which was ultimately closed down), Vince and the boys return to Queens to relax and get some perspective. Turtle is still carrying on his affair with [...]

Was it so long ago that Vince and Ari seemed to own Hollywood? That Eric was up-and-coming but mindful of his integrity? How things have changed. Vince is finding more and more of his role in “Smokejumpers” being trimmed away. He also discovers that this isn’t Jason Patric’s doing. Director Verner (played by Stellan Skarsgard) has [...]

Wow, big dilemma last time. Ari was offered the studio head job, which he didn’t want, but if he didn’t take it, it would have been offered to Vince’s ex-agent Amanda, which would have meant big trouble for Vince and Ari. A last minute play by Ari, however, got someone else the job, and now [...]

Ari as a studio head. A match made in heaven? Or just a bad fit. This is Ari’s dilemma in Episode 5.8, “First Class Jerk.”

Sunday, October 19, 2008
It’s looking like Vince’s career problems are the Entourage McGuffin, just there to provide a core around which the episodes revolve. The real story here? Friendships. How they change as time goes on, and how they stay same as everything around you changes. Episode 5.5, “Tree Trippers,” kicked this off. The guys re-bonded while tripping on [...]
