Chris Meloni and Scott Foley Join the Cast of True Blood! With Trailers!
Summer time is right around the corner, and so is the premier of the 5th season of HBO’s True Blood. We’ve covered some of what we know about season five, let’s get caught up to speed on the rest of what we can expect!
This upcoming season of True Blood, as we know, will focus a lot on fairies. We agree that this all sounds super lame. Like Ferngully lame. Which is really only a good movie if you make it into a drinking game where you take a shot every time they say the word “human.” However, I am actually pretty stoked about what I’m hearing in casting news and the trailers I’ve seen so far.
First of all, we will be introduced to what is referred to as The Authority, which is an ancient order of really old vampires that makes the American Vampire League look like the Babysitters Club. This Authority is run by none other than Chris Meloni. That’s right. Motha fuckin’ Detective Stabler.
True Blood Season 5: Update Bonanza! With Teasers!
Getting hungry for some True Blood news? Don’t worry – GB is here to serve up all the news, spoilers, and gossip you need to satisfy your cravings. Order up!
Season five of True Blood will be playing on a TV near you starting in June, and should pick up right where season four left off (read our review of the season four finale here). Much of the end of last season’s finale was spend setting up story lines for this summer. I’ve compiled a list of things we can expect to see from season five.
WARNING: If you have not finished season four and you still choose to read this article, you only have yourself to blame.
New Show ‘Wallace’ is Basically ‘Braveheart For TV’
Hollywood is a truly magical land; a land where an American raised in Australia can play a convincing enough Scotsman to win an Oscar for Best Picture. Well, butter your shortbread and secure your kilts lads and lassies, it looks like Braveheart is coming to the small screen.
Variety reports:
Parks and Recreation Finale Has Two Endings!
If you don’t watch Parks and Recreation you’re a moron. The show is absolutely hilarious, and Amy Poehler is brilliant as the main character, Leslie Knope. The show is currently in its fourth season on NBC; and the story arc of the season has primarily revolved around Leslie’s campaign for city council. It’s been a rocky road on her way to election day, and the show’s writers have been extremely tight-lipped about what the outcome will be. So tight-lipped, in fact, that they made the decision to film two different finales: one in which Leslie wins the election and one in which she loses. It’s like they’re creating their very own ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ novel.
It could really go either way. There’s no real buildup or progression to one specific outcome that has taken over the season. On the one hand, it would be incredibly interesting to have her win. If the show gets renewed, It would open up possibilities for multiple different story arcs and really build on Leslie’s character. Not only would she be working in the Parks Department, she would be a part of something completely new; a realm that could introduce us to a multitude of new and interesting characters. On the other hand, nothing in life is that easy. It might come off as cheesy and predictable if she wins. If the show does not get renewed, though, it would be the perfect ending.
New Snow White and the Huntsman Teaser Trailer is Turning Japanese
Fairy tales are certainly becoming all the rage these days. With TV shows like Once Upon a Time and Grimm, and 786 movies coming out about Snow White, it’s pretty clear that they’re becoming Hollywood’s new trend. Whatever keeps people from obsessing over sparkly vampires, I guess.
It’s about time someone besides Cinderella got her due. If I see one more trailer for anything starring Hilary Duff or some made-for-TV movie, I’m going to jam a pencil in my eye. Snow White and the Huntsman, slated to release in theaters this summer, appears to the best of the Snow White bunch. I stress the word appears. The other film that’s getting some buzz is Mirror, Mirror, starring Julia Roberts and Lily Collins, will hit theaters at the end of this month. It looks like a train wreck from start to finish. The trailer is not even good, don’t watch it. Don’t do it, I say!
‘Game of Thrones’ Parody on ‘The Simpsons’ Made Our Faces Melt
The Simpsons has a long-standing tradition of great opening sequences, and last night’s did not disappoint. Instead of the normal introduction and clever couch gags, we are taken straight into a spoof of the opening sequence from HBO’s Game of Thrones. Instead of the lands and kingdoms in the HBO series, we are taken on an animated journey through Springfield; from Evergreen Terrace to “Burns Landing.” This is the point where you get so excited from the sheer combination of hilarity and awesomeness that you do an involuntary fist pump, and then your head explodes.
Here at Grizzly Bomb, we are pretty unanimously huge fans of both The Simpsons and Game of Thrones. I can’t explain why, but Game of Thrones has one of the best opening sequences of any show out there. I think the music and the 3D map brings out the nerd in us. It’s so iconic and unique, that it made total sense for The Simpsons to do their own spin on it. Plus, I love it when Matt Groening and Co. give us something funny and topical in their parodies. Though they may not stand the test of time (Game of Thrones may not mean much to us in 10 years), it is still one of my favorite opening sequences to date.
Without further ado, here is the video:
It will have to tide us over until April 1 when season 2 premieres. I hope it includes more of Joffrey getting bitch-slapped.
Peter Jackson and His ‘Hobbit’ Video Blogs
Just watched another riveting behind the scenes video of The Hobbit franchise as Peter Jackson gave us his 6th installment, and the first we’ve seen in quite some time. After the longest 12 minutes I’ve experienced since right before I walked out of Star Wars: Episode One, I learned virtually nothing about the film, but a lot about New Zealand. Like they have thorn bushes. And floods. And everything is pretty. It kind of felt like I was watching a really boring old dude’s vacation with his family Dungeons and Dragons buddies.
There are so many dwarves I felt like I was manning Snow White’s peephole. They weren’t really doing anything, just standing around talking; although I did like the look of the scene with them floating down the river in barrels. Also, Andy Serkis needs a haircut. Yikes. Maybe Hobbit Gollum will have a mullet.
While the videos don’t really lend any new knowledge about the film, it’s always good to see Peter Jackson continuing his vision for the newest Middle Earth installments. The man has imagination in spades; even though it appears he only owns one shirt…
Anyhow, here are all 6 of the videos to date:
Why We’re Hungry for ‘The Hunger Games’: New Trailer and Maps of Panem!
We’ve seen quite a few franchises rip through social media these days, and they all have the same things in common. One, they come from popular books series. IE: Harry Potter and Twilight. The Hunger Games is no different. Two, they all have gigantic budgets with big studios backing them. They can boast the latest in CGI, costume design, even scores by some of the top composers. And three, they can take many liberties and let the foot off the gas creatively (and they often do) because they all have multitudes of preteen fans ready to spend their lunch money on a movie ticket, even before the film is released. The result is generally poor writing and even worse acting.
Suffice to say, I would not call most of these films great, or even good. They are passable to a fan of the book series they were birthed from, and popcorn entertainment for the casual movie goer who wouldn’t know good cinema if it bit them in the ass. This being said, I want to believe that The Hunger Games will have a little more to offer, and here are a few reasons why I think they will actually be good.
1. Casting. While there are a few unknown actors joining the Hunger Games cast, I am thrilled to death that they cast some people that we know have acting chops. I’m most excited about Jennifer Lawrence, who has already proved her weight in gold with an Oscar nod. From the trailers we’ve seen, she seems to have Katniss Everdeen’s brooding bravery down pat. We also have Donald Sutherland playing the evil Capitol dictator. Donald Sutherland is a badass. You could cast him as an extra and he would steal the show. We also have Elizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket, a powdered Capitol lackey, who will nail it because she has the gift of being animated without being cheesy. Woody Harrelson will play a drunk, which may be challenging for him.
Will Ferrell’s Casa de mi Padre – What’s Spanish for ‘Badass?’
Will Ferrell’s Casa de mi Padre is coming out in mid-March, and I have to say; it looks awesome. In the film, Will Ferrell plays Armando Alvarez, who works on his family’s ranch. According to the summary on IMDb, he and his brothers “find themselves in a war with Mexico’s most feared drug lord.” There will be gun-slinging. Cowboys. Penelope Cruz look-alikes. Ron Effing Swanson. But the best part?
Will Ferrell plays the entire role speaking in Spanish.
The movie poster boasts that it’s the “funniest movie you’ll ever read.”
I know I’m not alone in the world thinking that Will Ferrell is a comic genius. His timing is impeccable, his delivery flawless, and his ability to push the envelope is inspiring. I love that he can buck the trend of something normal funny, and can take on a project like this that is so bizarre. This off-beat humor that not everyone gets is so up my alley.
Here is the trailer for those interested in watching:
Will Ferrell is due for a non-stinker. Let’s hope this is it. I have high hopes for this one.
Casa de mi Padre also stars Genesis Rodriguez, Gael Garcia Bernal, Diego Luna, Nick Offerman, and Efren Ramirez.
You lied, Ron. You do speak Spanish.
Horrible Bosses Sequel Gets the Green Light, Bridesmaids Sequel Gets the Finger from Wiig
If it’s one thing Hollywood craves more than cocaine and prostitutes, it is sequels. Personally, I can’t think of a better way to bask in the glory of a successful and profitable film than to make it all over again. It’s the law of probability. It was successful once, it’ll be successful again. Any decent scientist will tell you that.
Earlier today, The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the science team over at New Line is pretty much green-lighting Horrible Bosses 2. John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the screenwriters who penned the original, are on board; and it is expected that director Seth Gordon will return for the new project, as well as most of the cast, which included Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, Jennifer Aniston, and Kevin Spacey. If you haven’t seen Horrible Bosses yet, it must be because you can’t get Netflix under the rock where you live. While not “the funniest movie in years”, it was funny; and Kevin Spacey is always a good reason to see a film.
Heyoooooo!
The big question is: was it good enough to support a sequel? Probably not. Look at The Hangover. That movie legitimately made pop come out of my nose. (Sidenote: POP is a super sweet term that came from Detroit and is used around here as opposed to SODA. Look it up.) When they announced that there was going a Hangover 2, everyone was shrieking like 13-year-old girls. But when we all sat in those seats the movie fell flat, and the only good thing about that evening was that I found $5 in my pocket which still didn’t pay me back for the crappy movie I had just watched.
Shifting gears for a moment, on the other end of the spectrum we have Bridesmaids, another surprise hit. This film didn’t have a lot of buzz surrounding it like Horrible Bosses did, but it delivered with a smart story and hilarious content. Universal is just itching for the cash cow sequel, but Kristen Wiig won’t bite. In fact, Wiig told The Hollywood Reporter that she and Annie Mumolo, who co-wrote Bridesmaids with Wiig, “aren’t planning a sequel [and are] writing something else.”
I’ve heard a bunch of garbage about discord between the actors and the studio because they only got $100,000 bonuses contributing to her lack of participation. Apparently in Hollywood terms that’s like tipping your waitress ten cents. I mean, whenever I do movies, I expect at least half a mil. Anything else is insulting.
Showtime’s ‘House of Lies’ – Pilot Review
Recently, Showtime decided to give all of us a little nugget and release the entire pilot of their new show, House of Lies, on YouTube. I have been so entirely excited for this show to release. I’ve heard such amazing things about Homeland (I’m new to Showtime and haven’t watched it, don’t judge). Couple that with the cast, and you’re sure to have a winner. Don Cheadle is so versatile and amazing. Kristen Bell is a goddess. Jean-Ralphio is HILARIOUS, he has to be just ripping joke after joke.
These things, I thought, were obvious statements. It turns out obvious statements – straight to camera, no less – are exactly what I got.
I will preface the review I’m about to give with a statement. And that statement is this: this pilot was not terrible. Not a ringing endorsement I realize, but it’s important to remember that a lot of good shows have sprung from awkward pilots (such as America’s version of The Office). Sometimes shows can really hit their stride after a few episodes in, so it’s important not to throw a show completely out the window based on one episode.
However…
#7 – Countdown to Christmas: ERNEST SAVES CHRISTMAS
I hope all of our readers are getting in the holiday spirit – our countdown is winding right down! For today’s installment, I pay tribute to 1988′s classic comedy, Ernest Saves Christmas.
As I’m sure you all agree, the collection of Ernest movies are the top-tier of incredible film making. His characters are unforgettable, his facial expressions are laughable, and they exhibit the ultimate in story-telling and delivery. Know what I mean, Vern?
In Ernest Saves Christmas, Ernest must – you guessed it – save Christmas. Santa Claus is getting on in years and must pass down his profession to Joe, who Santa has chosen to carry on the torch. However, when Joe is reluctant to believe and his lazy-eyed agent is annoyed by his presence, Santa is thrown in jail and must save Christmas – with the help of Ernest P. Worrell, of course.
#8 – Countdown to Christmas: NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS
It’s no Hollywood secret that Tim Burton has lost it and hasn’t made a single good film in the last decade (probably because he keeps casting his psycho wife). However, his first claymation attempt just happens to be one of my favorite movies, holidays aside.
Nightmare Before Christmas pairs together my two very favorite holidays: Halloween and Christmas; and throws in a little musical pizzazz, which I love! The story centers around Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, whose fame in Halloween Town is only diminished by his lack of interest in doing his job. He is sick of Halloween, of scaring, of the routine; and wants to find something more meaningful to do with his life.
In his morose state, Jack wanders and finds himself at a cluster of trees, which the audience knows must represent the different holidays. Here, Jack opens the door to Christmas Town where his life is drastically changed.
#9 – Countdown to Christmas: CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS
There is nothing on TV that gets me in the Christmas spirit quite as much as A Charlie Brown Christmas. Released in 1965, it is a timeless classic that endures for many fellow lovers of the holiday season.
Charlie Brown we all know and love as the ho-hum, down-on-his-luck grade school boy with the yellow and black shirt. In this particular made-for-TV special, Charlie Brown searches for the true meaning of Christmas. In his conversations with his fellow classmates, he realizes how commercialized Christmas has become. There are Christmas cards to give out. There are pageants to organize. His sister is more focused on her letter of demands to Santa. Even Snoopy has bought into the hype, decorating his dog house like a Macy’s Christmas float.
And then, Linus has the answer. Readers, you may have a wide range of beliefs, but there’s something incredibly sweet and innocent about the way Linus recites the Christmas story. There’s something incredibly poetic about Charlie Brown’s love for a wimpy Christmas tree, shunned by everyone, in which he can see so much of himself. He is able to take something everyone sees as ugly and make it beautiful. And then the kids sing with their faces in the air and their mouths open wide.
I have always enjoyed the humor and the heartwarming stories that the Charlie Brown cartoons have told. The Christmas special reminds us to slow down at Christmas time and remember what it’s really about – celebration, family, of giving.
As a musician, I appreciate the soundtrack almost as much as the story. Vince Guilardi’s jazz piano carols are some of the few holiday tunes I can stomach, let alone enjoy, every year. All of these reasons make A Charlie Brown Christmas a top contender on my list of holiday favorites.
5/5.
#10 – Countdown to Christmas: WHITE CHRISTMAS
To me, there are few films more classic and heartwarming around the holiday season than Irving Berlin’s 1954 masterpiece, White Christmas. Comedy! Drama! Romance! Song and dance routines! Men dressed up as women! This film really has it all.
White Christmas focuses around the vocal stylings of two of the time’s greatest singers: Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney. Throw in colorful characters like “Mr. Slapstick” Danny Kaye, and “I’m not really singing but check out my sick dance moves” Vera-Ellen and you have a party just waiting to happen.
Crosby and Kaye play Wallace and Davis, two army vets who are now a somewhat popular traveling song and dance act. Clooney and Ellen are the Haynes sisters, same profession, but slightly less popular. The two pairs meet and in their adventures find a failing inn in Vermont that is owned by Wallace’s and Davis’ former commanding general in the army. Determined to save their hero’s business, the four put on a show at the inn to bring in guests and revenue. They put on the show (with a little relationship drama, of course) and the inn is saved! Hooray!
New Trailer: The Hunger Games
The newest trailer for The Hunger Games is out and thank God it’s not another spinning acid trip in the woods. For a while there I thought I was watching daytime outtakes from The Blair Witch Project. With slightly less snot.
I will say from the top that I like the trailer. It encapsulates the character of Katniss quite well, and I am more than pleased with Jennifer Lawrence in the role with what I’ve seen so far. That and Donald Sutherland is basically a badass, so you know he’ll be awesome.
I can make my peace with Lenny Kravitz, I really can. I’m sure he had the best acting coaches money could buy that auto-tuned his on-screen performance. I’m sure he knows some guitar hypnosis voodoo to get what he wants.
I really have a hard time making my peace with Woody Harrelson because of what an obscenely awful actor he is. He wasn’t exhibited much in the trailer, but I think this role should be a cinch for him. He’s like Keanu Reeves. Keanu has solid performances when he plays someone who has no clue what’s going on; because Keanu has no clue what’s going on. In this film, Woody portrays a crazy drunk who tends to lash out in a violent rage. Three shots of Tequila and he just has to read the script.
Anyhow, here it is…
#6 – Countdown to Halloween: MONSTERS INC.
I have two things to say before I delve into this article. Number one, I love Halloween. I love the spooky creatures, the crisp air, the jack-o-lanterns, the candy. Number two, I hate horror films. I really, really do. I was one of those kids that had nightmares from anything scarier than a Goosebumps book. Even in adulthood, the films are either too scary and the images haunt me for months, or too cheesy which just bores me. I’m the weirdo watching the History Channel specials about werewolves or reading Dracula for the 254,235th time. (A brief side note: if they ever decide to make a decent film adaptation of the Bram Stoker novel, I would most likely love it.)
That being said, Dr. K allowed me to review one of my favorite non-scary movies this Halloween – Monsters, Inc. And if you say this movie has nothing to do with Halloween, then you are kidding yourselves. It has the word “monsters” right in the title.
Released in 2001 by Disney/Pixar, this animated feature film contained such highly respected voice talent as Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Bonnie Hunt, Frank Oz, Jennifer Tilly, James Coburn, and Steve Buscemi. Plus, of course, Pixar regular John Ratzenberger. Also, it got great reviews and made an obscene amount of money, which is par for the course for Pixar.
Synopsis: Monstropolis is powered by scaring children, which is done by a group of monsters working in Monsters, Inc. Mike and Sulley are working on the scare floor when a child is let in from the door of one of the bedrooms where this scaring takes place. Sulley and Mike must hide the child from everyone because there are those who would wish her harm. Sulley becomes attached to the child and in the end they find a way to beat the bad guy, save the company, and still find a way to be together.
TV’s Fairy Tale Fall Brawl Round One: ABC’s “Once Upon a Time” Pilot
Fairy Tale stories seem to be all the rage these days on TV, with ABC premiering Once Upon a Time tonight and Grimm kicking off over on NBC this Friday. Here at Grizzly Bomb, we offer to keep you abreast of the goings on of these two very similar stories, offer our ever witty commentary, and complete coverage on what I like to call:
TV’S FAIRY TALE FALL BRAWL!!!
(Cue Boxing bell ding)
In one corner, we have ABC’s Once Upon a Time. The Sunday night slot isn’t too shabby for a new show, sandwiched between AFV and Desperate Housewives (which I understand are shows that people are still watching). The show is the new project of the makers of Lost, which gets my intrigue juices flowing. However, the seemingly cheesy storyline and the far-fetched premise make it seem out of touch with an inability to relate to the average human being. Could this show make it on clout and reputation alone?
On the other corner, we have NBC’s Grimm. Produced by the same people who worked on Buffy and Angel (not Joss Whedon), it clearly looks like the better show. The story focuses around Nick Burckhardt, a homicide detective who can see fairy tale characters. I have high hopes for this one, however, there are a few things working ominously against it.
- It may have trouble settling on an audience depending on how they play it. I don’t know many men that love fairy tales, and I don’t know many women that love gore. The smart thing to do, considering ABC has got the fluffy fairy tale thing covered, is to outright target a male audience. The trailers at first seemed to be focusing on creatures that are ugly and murderous, but lately they’ve been shots of dead princesses. They may be tempted to straddle that line, and it may end up working for them, but it also may not.
- The time slot sucks. Friday night is where prime time goes to die, with very few exceptions to this rule. Not to mention, it’s competing for air time with Fringe, which is going to be a tough competitor.
- NBC has put out some real stinkers lately. Their show cancellation count is already up to two, and it’s only October. Also, Grimm was already pushed back once. Not a good sign for movies, not a good sign for television.
Back to the brawl…
Review: Ringer Episode 6 – “The Poor Kids Do It Everyday”
The lies! The danger! The blood! All new episode of Ringer tonight, and I’m here to offer my commentary. Proceed no further if you have an aversion to SPOILERS.
Last week, we were given a few bombshells. Clearly, Gemma was less than excited about finding out Siobhan’s true identity. In fact, she was downright livid. Who knew she would react this way, right? So what’s the first thing a hurt female does with brand new, juicy information? Well they blackmail people, of course. Gemma thinks that forcing Bridget to sleep with Henry and catching them in the act is the best way to go in order to get all the spoils after the divorce. Bridget, the former stripper, is above whoring herself out and instead offers Gemma something even better: to be Best Friends Forever. Bridget then presents the friendship bracelets she was up all night making.
Review: ‘Ringer’ Episode 4 – “It’s Gonna Kill Me, But I’ll Do It”
Happy Tuesday, faithful readers! The plot thickens and the story unravels this week on Ringer; and Buffy slays me again. If you remember, I had some harsh critiques on the show when it premiered. I wasn’t sure Sarah Michelle Gellar had the chops to carry her Sister Act; and equally feared that the writing would lack originality and interest. While I’m still not entirely convinced that the show will go the distance, and I’m not holding my breath for any serious awards, I will say that it holds my attention for one hour per week. Which is more than I can say for most things. Or people.
If you haven’t turned that dial over to the CW for this week’s episode, proceed with caution. I’ve littered this article with SPOILERS.
Ringer: Series Premiere – “Pilot” Review
When I first heard about Ringer, I wasn’t sure what to make of it. Sarah Michelle Gellar is, of course, TV’s Sweetheart after her epic portrayal of Buffy; but I had some reservations about her small screen comeback. First of which, the fact that this show is airing on the CW. Any network that will give Tyra Banks her own show should be burned to the ground, but I digress.
The premise of the show seemed a little stale to me. Gellar plays a double role of Bridget and Siobhan, estranged twin sisters who are reunited after drug addict/prostitute Bridget becomes the only witness to a murder, and is on the run from the man involved. Moments after catching up, Bridget awakes on a boat (presumably drugged) to find Siobhan missing, allegedly having killed herself. So Bridget, trying to escape her old, unsafe life, takes Siobhan’s identity. Kind of like Face-Off meets The Parent Trap.
Upon watching the show, however, I am neither excited nor disappointed.
SPOILERS AHEAD!
Review: HBO’s ‘True Blood’ Season 4, Episode 12 – “And When I Die”
Well, folks, season 4 has finally drawn to a close. I say “finally” because this season was terrible. A complete and utter train wreck from start to finish. But before I get ahead of myself, let’s take a look at tonight’s episode.
This episode had some of the best one liners of the entire season. When Eric called Nan’s body guards “Gay Storm Troopers,” I peed my pants a little. Even Jesus got some laughs with his Pokemon reference. However, a few moments of funny dialogue does not a well-written episode make; and tears I shed during this episode were not born of laughter, but of misery and frustration.
Marnie’s story arc was like a diet drink, a vicious little pretender trying to hard to be good. Meanwhile, I’m left feeling unsatisfied and smacking my lips against a horrible aftertaste. Being True Blood, I was expecting there to be some sort of battle, or at least an epic finish to a story they spent so much time telling. Instead, it turns into an episode of the Real World for dead people.
SPOILERS AHEAD>>> Antonia talks Marnie down from making Bill and Eric into vampire potato chips, so Marnie has a scream cry and moves on with the other dead people? Talk about anti-climax.
Review: HBO’s ‘True Blood’ Season 4, Episode 11 – “Soul of Fire”
I wasn’t even sure if this review was going to happen at all this week. I spent the holiday with my parents, who still watch things on VHS, and do not subscribe to HBO. I don’t know if the rest of you had problems with HBO Go not letting you log in to the site, but after 45 minutes of trying usernames and passwords not only for myself, but a good chunk of other writers for the site, I gave up. I will have all of you know that the s’mores I made instead were delicious.
A day late, but I’m still here, providing you my sarcastic diatribe and serving up another helping of True Blood commentary.
Let the spoilers begin…..
I felt like this episode was mostly filler. At the end of last week’s episode, I was pumped! Vampires dressed all in black, carrying badass weapons, walking in slow-mo to a guitar riff – I was expecting action, explosions, and swear words. And though all of these things found their way into this week’s episode, I still felt oddly unsatisfied. More screen time was spent chanting in a wind machine and trying to fight an invisible force field – I felt like I was watching a high school media project.
Review: HBO’s ‘True Blood’ Season 4, Episode 10 – “Burning Down the House”
True Blood, I have missed you! For the first time in weeks, I feel like we’re getting back to our roots. Drama, intrigue, HUMOR (where did THAT go?)…this episode had almost anything we could hope for in a decent HBO show, without feeling like a supernatural episode of Jerry Springer.
Tonight’s episode of True Blood picks up where last week’s left off – at the Festival of Tolerance. Brainwashed Eric has been commissioned to kill King Bill; and during their scuffle, something miraculous happens. Sookie is able to use her fairy light to break Antonia’s spell. This means, of course, Eric has his memories back and Pam has a normal face once again!
