MEAN and MASSIVE

HBO has released a third trailer for their period crime drama Boardwalk Empire. The new trailer reveals much more than the first two, which were more of early teasers. Now we can see some of the main plots of the new season, including a new character, Gyp Rosetti, that will bring Nucky a lot of [...]

Save Yourself, the season 5 finale of True Bloodwas a celebration of many kinds, but the way it ended reminds us that after all the fun and games, there is still a real drama behind the blood stains. My season finale review follows… What just happened (episode summary): Eric, Nora, Tara, Sookie and Jason are [...]

The trailer for season 5 finale episode of True Blood is out. Eric and Nora are on a mission from (the real) god to save Bill, Sookie is fighting Russel with the other fairies, and so on. Too bad they didn’t make a double-feature, with the last two episodes premiering on the same evening, because [...]

With one episode only left for the current season of HBO’s True Blood, things are getting sweaty. So sweaty, in fact, that even characters that haven’t met for quite some time on the series finally got an opportunity to catch up. The fairies are in danger, the vampires are getting signals from their god of [...]

It’s the tenth episode of True Blood season 5, and as the action goes into high gear, Sookie finds herself again in the middle of the main drama. Gone, Gone, Gone was a strong episode, with the two main plots (Stackhouse murder investigation and the vampire revolution) shifting the focus in what looks like a [...]

The trailer for the tenth episode of True Blood season 5 is out. Now that the “Obamas” are not shooting vamps, shifters and other soups – it’s the vampires that are attacking humans. We have three more episodes to go, and Gone, Gone, Gone is the beginning of the end. Here’s the episode’s plot summary, [...]

I haven’t written my weekly reviews for True Blood lately, moving flats and all, but now I’m back. This week it started to look like all the separate plots are just different parts of the same bigger story, which connects somehow Sookie’s parents death, the vampire revolution, and the “Obamas”. The end of the fifth [...]

HBO has released the confirmed full list of the new characters in the next season of Game Of Thrones. The list is not short, so make some space free, especially if you haven’t read the books. Like I previously mentioned, in the upcoming season we will meet Shireen Baratheon, Bryndon Tully, an so many others. [...]

Time moves quickly in Bon Temps, and next Sunday we are already in the sixth episode of the current season of True Blood. The episode is titled Hopeless, and I can think of a few characters this title may describe. After the good two episodes we saw in the last two weeks – and I [...]

With the recent announcement from HBO about the renewal of their comedy Eastbound & Down for a fourth season, the show fans may wonder what an additional season would be like. Indeed, the third season ended in such a way that would make a great series finale – only the series creators, star Danny McBride, [...]

I hear that HBO is ordering a fourth season of the Danny McBride comedy, Eastbound & Down. The late renewal of the politically-incorrect comedy comes a day after the official announcement from the cable network about the renewal of vampire drama True Blood and the new Aaron Sorkin show, The Newsroom. Although Eastbound & Down‘s [...]

News Night 2.0, the second episode of The Newsroom, still felt like a mix of genres and tone, and left me confused trying to figure out what did I just see. Was show creator Aaron Sorkin watching too many episodes of The Office, or 30 Rock, that he forgot his original idea for the show? [...]

In the next episode of True Blood, Let’s Boot and Rally, the Russel problem is finally real – and Sookie’s blood is in danger. According to the episode trailer, Bill, Eric and the authority take most of the attention, with Terry and Patrick suffering the consequences of their curiousity. And how come Alcide is joining [...]

Last night on True Blood was the first episode that I’m able to call “good”, and besides the usual fun there was some real drama and action. We’ll Meet Again was also the first episode of the fifth season that presented some new twists in some of the plots, and even gave a reason for [...]

HBO has announced that the production of Game Of Thrones third season will begin in July, right after the Comic-Con panels the show’s cast and crew take part in. Season 3 will focus on the events from the first half of the third book in the A Song Of Ice And Fire series by George [...]

SEB: True Blood s05e03, 5×03 episode review The fourth episode of the season finally touches the Debbie-issue, after Sookie has killed her at the end of season 4. It looks at times like this season of True Blood is running a bit slow on action, and quicker with the effects. I still have fun, though. [...]

The trailer for next week’s episode of True Blood, We’ll Meet Again, is out. In the fourth episode of the season, Sookie continues to deal with the Debbie situation (or bettersay, the no-Debbie situation), while Bill and Eric try to make her work for them – while they deal with the Russel situation. Here’s the [...]

Aaron Sorkin’s new series on HBO, The Newsroom, has premiered lastnight. I was pretty curious to see how this turns out, especially after reading some mixed early reviews about the show.  Although there were moments in which I thought that the tone is not clear, and other moments where I thought the whole thing was [...]
