True Blood "Death Is Not The End" Review

Damn! I sure had a “fangover” form last sundays episode of “True Blood”. And it is not solely reasoned in the good parts of the episodes. But lets just focus and get this “Death Is Not The End” episode its deserved review. 

The episode starts off with a scene of Sookie calling her death lovers father, and he seems to be quite shocked that his Alcide is dead. Yet, he ensures Sookie that he loved her to bits and pieces. And Sookie stays strong. No crying, nothing. She seems emotionally dead. After what she has been going trough, no surprise. Biggest Moment of the episode however is Jason calling Hoyt in Alaska to tell him that his mom got killed by a vampire. Such sweet memories, however good to know that the makers of True Blood made the effort to put this thing into the script. 

After the opening sequence we see Eric and am on a private jet and when Eric decides they have to go to Shrieveport we get tons of great and nicely 80’s style flashbacks of how Eric and Pam got to have “Fangtasia”. I love me some flashbacks like that!

And then Sokkie gets all boring. She talks to Colby and her brother, and Jason goes and tells Kevins wife he is dead. Wasted minutes! Meanwhile Sookie helps Holly remember where she was caught, and Jason has to force Sam to stop to get t Fangtasia without vampires. Oh and Jessica has an eating disorder.. which gets solved by Sookie the very moment it comes up. Well, interesting concept, however soved to soon. The guilt trip has not really worked out. And Sookie tells Jessica, while feeding her, that she is dead already and yet again needs them all to save her friends.

Then we finally get to the real thing again: flashbacks of Eric and Pam! Wellbetter said how Ginger applied at their video store and was totally in love with Eric from the first sight. We also get to see that “Fangtasia” was only Gingers idea, and Pam glamoured the shit out of her to take the ide as hers. Loving it! Cause living for it!

Then there is the big reunion between Pam, Eric and Sookie with Pam still hating Sookie, and Willa being called by Eric and she is pissed. Very pissed! Yet in the end they all go and rescue the peeps from Fangtasia and kill all the Hep-V’s. However Arlene nearly dies, Pam uses a fire extinguisher to save the bar, and the mob idiots get killed in the attack as well. Lots of blood, gore and guts. Loving it. And yet we see that Eric has become slow and a bit weak. 

The episode in summary was a lot like: OH my god that is great and Mah! A solid 7,5 out of 10 with a big concern for the end of the season as more episodes remain and there seems to be no main plot in sight. Ye the show could return to its core with focusing on the relationship between people. However Gingers explanation of vampire movies as a possibility to examine the other in human society give a nice hint at the academic possibilities of the series. 

“Fire In The Hole” – True Blood gets bloodily like “Game of Thrones”

"Jesus Gonna Be Here" - True Blood Season 7 - Review

Okay, give me a minute to start this review of season sevens first episode “Jesus Gonna Be Here”, because even after watching it like three times it still is kind of… well different. And I am not sure in what way different.

The episode starts off with a recap of season six and the after HBO’s logo black and whites in goes straight to Sookie in the middle of the Hep-V vamps attacking the mixer at Bellefleurs. And boy, these vampires are the shit! They hungry for blood, as they are gonna die anyway. And for real, who can blame them? They basically got screwed over by the government, so why not go savage? However Holly, Arlene and Sam’s girlfriend get kidnapped amongst others while Olivia give some hot staking action saving Jason. Yet the scene has a major bummer as True Blood makes decided to let Tara be killed in the fight for her mothers safety. What a damn bummer! Seriously? We have been waiting to see more of her. That is kind of sad to kill her off after just about 15 seconds on screen time of the season. 

Anyways, as the vampires retreat after a whistle (Why did they retreat?) everyone thinks one thing while hiding in Bellefleur’s Bar and Grill: Its all Sookies fault. She is a vampire whore who, would she have kept her legs shut, would have not caused all this. And Sookie, the fae she is, hears these thoughts. Even Alcide thinks its kinda crazy that Sookie likes vamps. All I can say to that: Ya’ll in Bon temps overreact. As if it was her fault alone! (I’m looking at you Bill, Governor Bourell, Sarah Newlin, Vampire Authority, Lillith etc.)

As the people of Bon Temps start to get home protected by their assigned Vamps, Jessica protects Andy’s remaining fae daughter Adaline from a Hep-V vamp all night long, Adaline drinks her blood and invites Jessica in. Possible friendship ahead? Yes. Meanwhile Sam is exposed as a changer to his former opponent in the mayoral election, Bill and Andy search trough an old Slaughterhouse to see if the Hep-V’s are nesting there. In a confrontation with Sam’s former opponent in the election Andy saves Bills life, however reminding him he only did so cause they need him, and he really has done unspeakable to him and his daughters. Good for you Bill, and Andy, well at least you did the right thing. Bon Temps Sheriff seems to have been elected right. 

Meanwhile Jason and Olivia check out another possible nesting place, and once again are confronted with Sam’s former opponent. Tides get wobbly, Olivia gets cocky as fuck and Jason annoyed by her taking control all the time. On the way back home they fight, and Jason finally is allowed to fuck her. And his rant was apparently all she has been waiting for. Could this be a relationship that works out for once? I mean True Blood is not famous for happily ever after! 

Lafayette is brought home by Jessica’s vampire boyfriend James, they talk, smoke and the talks get quite intellectual. You know, about war, violence, peace, pity, loss and the feeling of it. Oh, there is mourning for Tara (?). Our beloved first bitch in charge , Pam, is seen in Morocco playing Russian roulette to get info about Eric’s where about. She looks broken and her monologue reveals her emotional crisis. I mean how else would one describe sentences as “You and my god can get together and have a circle jerk in a motel. Meanwhile ill be in hell having a threeway with the devil!” Seems like the woman has lost it all, as I don’t even see perfect eyeliner. I mean she even wore flawless make up in vamp camp last season. But thank god her swearing has not run down. (Lovely, aint she?) On another note: Tara’s mom goes nuts on vamp blood given to her by Willa to heal, as she sees Tara. Poor Letti-Mae (?). Willa now protects letti-Mae and the reverend, who offers her a place to stay, as she has no one left and does not feel she is up to go back to Fangtasia. (You know, with Taras stuff there and all!) She should have on the other hand, as that is where the Hep-V’s hold their abductees and nest. By the way: they kill them by their ability to scream. (And hello: that really s scary and savagely bestial if you give it a thought!). 

The episode ends by the morning after in church where Sookie can hear everyone’s thoughts that basically say: Get out of here you whore!” She then gives a “ I love you all, even though you hate me, I love Bon Temps etc talk”. Oh, by the way, she and Alcide made up. Good for her.

All in all: the episode was what was to be expected: unexpected. It felt a little long and dragged out, just like season six first episode, with good and bad pieces. However we might not fear, at least I think so, as last season got better as well. However the major disappointment of no Eric and Tara no more lays pretty crude. But thinking about all of it: Willa is the one that totally get screwed over: She really has no one left. For next week: Lets hope True Blood comes back from the dead and not finalize jumping the shark. On a scale of one to ten, well let’s give this episode a six and a half and since its True Blood and I am an optimist, make it seven.

True To The End - True Blood Time Tomorrow!

Trubies out there unite and get you fangs on! After what seemed an eternity of wait, tomorrow it finally is time to sit in front of your TV or Laptop and crave for blood, sex, lust and Bill saying "Soooookie"! Come on season seven let's get sucking!

And yes, its totally normal that we all might be wondering about three things: (1) Where the heck is Eric, (2) will Violet ever let Jason hit it and (3) what will we see Pam wearing? (Okay, maybe number two and three just happen to have me asking.) However, as a show the size and magnitude of True Blood we may very well expect the thing to go out with a bang, and no this was not a reference to the countless sex scenes. (However, according to Sam McNeil there will not be a shortage of male or female nudity in this season!)  And Certainly there will be drama between Sookie and Eric and Bill and Alcide, who, lets be hones, hopefully will have more lines then "I'm the pack master!". 

Well lets all just hope that the season con jour up a worthy end to our Bon Temps favorites. Cause otherwise fans will go nuts on twitter, and hunt I gotta keep my timeline clean!

Trailer for True Blood Season 7 - #WaitingSucks

It is though that the last season of True Blood, season seven, will grace our screens this year, more specifically starting June 22nd. And with one sad eye and with smiling one I am looking foreword to this, hopefully bombastic, end of such a great series.

As HBO has released the first trailer for the season they gave audiences a little taste of what is to come, and it seems that it will pick up right where it has left off with Radioactive. televised insanity. And that is  what I expected. With the on rampage, Hep-V infected, vampires go mad at the town meeting at Merlotte's, or should I rather say Bellefleur's, this season supposedly starts with a big fight. the trailer shows us all sorts of vamps showing fangs, moving fast and attacking hardcore style. 

The general storyline seems to be that the Hep-V vamps are out for any human alive to drink. And it does not seem that the Bon Temps forks have any intention of taking it, and fighting back. No, apparently they leave and blame Sookie for what happened. Did Pam prove right about Sookie and her precious fairy vagina?  And after all, will we see Bill and her reunite, or will she stay with Alcide, who hopefully gets more lines then "I am the pack master!" tho season. Or will, please let it be like that, she reunite with yummy Eric Northman. What about Pam and Tara, and how about Olivia and Jason? Even more pressuring: Which one of our characters will die? (Please make it Bill!) And even more important: Will the series close all its questions or will it yet be another insufficient ending like so many other series had?

Besides all that the trailer sees a Tara with her mom, Jessica swearing to protect Andy's remaining fairy daughter and there appears to be no sight of Eric. And that definitely raises the expectations as no one wants their favorite sexy vamp to have taken his last bite.

In conclusion we might be very much looking forward to this, however, I hope that the series keeps in  touch with the ideas it has touched upon the first seasons. May the gender bending and LGBT allegories continue. And may the series please continue to show that vampires are more hum alike then they want to think and vice versa for humans. Lets all take a deep bite and enjoy! taste you later Truebies!

Icon Art Awards 2013 - Movies and TV

After yesterday has been the lorry giving and shade throwing in the category of music and music videos, it today is time to give you the winners and "winners" in the category of movies and TV. So lets have at it and let the shading/crowning begin!

Movie of the Year – “Catching Fire” & “The Great Gatsby”

Oh that one was hard as well, and as you see I could not really decide! So, “Catching Fire” deserves it to win this one since it was highly anticipated and still was better then the high expectations. It was an emotional ride that showed us in detailed perfection the perversion and cruelty of the killing efficiency of the world of Panem. “The Great Gatsby” on the other hand caught us with a marvelous cast of actors, a big costume department and the magic of a story that makes American students cry in boredom. Both movies are absolute must haves and like no others they defined 2013.

TV Series of the Year – “True Blood”

Oh yeah! That has been a great, not to use the word amazing, year for “True Blood” as season six of the HBO power series sweeped all over our screens with liters of human, vampire, and fairy blood, tons of vampire fangs, crushed bottles of “TruBlood”, Warlow aka. Ben and Pamela Swynford de Beaufort hugging Sookie. (High on Billith-God blood. Otherwise I am not sure if Pam would ever hug someone at all, especially Sookie. The only exception might be her maker: Eric.) Sounds fucked up, twisted, filled and complicated? Yes it was! And I loved every second of it! True Blood will return in the summer of 2014 for its seventh, but sadly, last season on HBO. Definitely my TV highlight of 2013.

Worst Movie of 2013 – “Fast and the Furious 6”

To be said in advance: I am very sorry for the death of Paul Walker, and I do respect and understand mourning fans, but the truth is that the “Fast and the Furious” series is really a simple, not very demanding, action filled car movie. It’s all about velocity, chicks, the bond of friendship and girls, girls, girls. Nothing more. (But nothing less.) I am not a fan of it since I find that the sixth installment really was only one thing: repetitive and generic.

Worst TV Series of 2013 – “Duck Dynasty”

I have never seen it, and I don`t want to generically shade one of the people appearing in it, but what the family father said, that regarded gays as sinners and declared gay marriage as the gateways to things like sodomy and the falling apart of society, really sets the whole thing in a very bad luck for me. Sorry, but Duck Dynasty really has to be named the worst TV series ever in 2013. (Otherwise the pull would have been between “Keeping up with the Kardashians” and “ The Jersey Shore” / “The Geordy Shore”.)

Best Director 2013 – Francis Lawrence

There is something in the work of Francis Lawrence that makes him the perfect director for everything that has a dystopian, a catastrophic or a nihilist theme to it. He possesses the ability to make everything look dark and feel threatening. His main effort this year was the “Catching Fire” movie where he did a very good job.

Actress of the Year – Jennifer Lawrence

           

There are many reasons to fall in love with Jennifer Lawrence as she not only is a stunningly good and mesmerizing actress but as well has that certain charm and mentality to her personality that immediately draws you to like her. And what better then an actress who jokes all the time, tells funny stories about her life, admits that sport and staying thin is hard work that sucks and accepts an Oscar in a long white Dior gown that lets her fall and creates the most perfect and eloquent fall ever?

Actor of the Year – Alexander Skarsgard

Not only has Alexander Skarsgard ever made me dream about him in “True Blood” but also does he have that easy going character, is very natural, charming and funny. He might be this year’s male version of Jennifer Lawrence. As well he is very free and giving concerning nudity, as all the world knows how his downtown look thanks to “True Blood” (You still can hear the gays fapping!).

Most Overrated Actor 2013– Hugh Jackman & Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

Hugh Jackman just sucks at this point. Seriously. After the felt 7^th Wolverine sequel / prequel and his “Le Miserable” performance and his overall “girls love him cause he is such a hunk” I got extremely bored. Too much media exposure. Next please! Which brings us to the so called “actor” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Meanwhile he just consists of muscle and looks horrible, nearly as horrible as his acting in all generic action movies he is in. Same deal as with Hugh Jackman: too much media exposure. I am bored of hid face!

Most Overrated Actress 2013 – Kate Winslet

She might be a good actress but if I have to see her face once more in any goddamn silly gossip magazine of movie I will barf on the paper or the TV screen/cinema screen. She just is annoying and overrated. That’s it. Oh yes, what else is a no go is that she thinks she is Meryl Streep, but she clearly is not… not even in her dreams will she ever be Meryl. 

"TV Series I Am Addicted To" - 3 Reasons to Love "2 Broke Girls"

Like said by me many many times I have a huge addicttive personality for TV series that are freaking amazing. And "2 Broke Girls" is definitely one of them. And since it is in its third season right now, I figured it is time to give you three reasons why the show is freaking amazing!

The general story of the show is as follows: Martin Channing, a financee in New York, gets blow up in his illegal scam, where he screwed his rich customers and stole their money. Of course he goes to prison and his daughter, Caroline Channing, only gets to grab what she can and run from their town house, which of course, gets taken from them. Desperate for a place to stay and to find a job to make some money Caroline gets a job as a waitress in the "Williamsburg Diner". There she meets Max Black, an emotionally dead 20 something girl that makes cup cakes to get some extra money. From there on the show taes its ride and Max and Caroline move in together. Thing is: with Carloine's business expertise and Max's abilities in baking the cupcakes they plan on opening a cupcake shop and making their own business. And here come the three best reasons why the show is absolutely to love and amazing!

#1 - Cursing, Cursing and Cursing!

If the girls do not work their butts off at the diner, at a job they have found and/or taken on Craigslist or work on the cupcake business they ted to work out their problems. And especially Max is very good at cursing, mad references and tart tongued attacks at everyone that annoys her. (Especially Hipsters!) And hell yes I love the cursing part! What is not to love about it?

#2 - Cultural references en Mass

Actually "2 Broke Girls" could be a TV guide to everything, and that includes Bravo TV. I mean the ammount o Celebrity smashing downs, cameo appearances and constant hipster related dissing is the bomb! 

#3 - Chestnut, their HORSE!

The girls have a freaking word in their backyard! I mean a HORSE! Hello! That s freaking awesome and amazing, and believe me, it adds to the comedy of the series as hell!

So, guys, just move your asses along and check the series out! If you have not seen it yet you are missing out hard!

"I watch it, so should you!" - True Blood season finale and the thing with Sookie's precious fairy vagina

It already is over: True Blood Season 6. It came fast and it left as fast as it came. So let me recap the tenth and final episode "radioactive" for you and tell you why we should be excited for season seven. And you wont be disappointed from the tenth episode either because the promotion has been true: we see more of Eric then ever. Literally!

Episode 10 of this season starts off with Sookie starring at Terry's grave being filled and Sookie and Alcide have a talk about her funeral talk about being a fae. And already we can tell that, as Pam put it, "Sookies precious fairy vagina" is certainly no turn down for Alcide. Then they see the vampires coming back from camp and celebrating their newly gained freedom. Sookie goes there and meets Jason and is more than happy to. When Jasons vamp girlfriend Violet starts romping about who Sookie is Jason clears up the situation, teling that they are siblings. Violet then kisses Sookie on the mouth just saying: "If you are his sister, you'r mine too!". Jason comments: "She's European." best fucking sentence ever to be said in such surrounding! Then the true WTF moment happens: Pam runs up to Sookie and HUGS her! I mean when have we ever seen Pam hug someone else than Eric or Tara? I mean it is Pam. Also Tara hugs her and says that since Bill has saved them she won't be able to hate on him ever again. 

Sookie then returns to Warlow who already has built their wedding flower-pole-thing-maypole. And Sookie tells him that she wants to keep her promises but she wants him to spend time with him first, instead of beeing turned instantly. And Warlow makes a 180 degrees character turn, an tells Sookie to basically fuck off ad that she is his. Well: REALLY? I started to like this fucker and he goes the other way round. Oh and by the way: he strangles her. Back at Bills the vamps play volleyball. And my face was just like: WTF! Volleyball, are you serious guys? But then Tara goes to see Pam and Pam tells her that she leaves to search for Eric, and even though Tara is pissed at her Pam does have a hard time to leave her. She looks at her and asks her to take care of Willa. 

Inside his house Bill learns that he has lost his divine powers, although he still can walk the light. He realizes that he is Bill and not Lillith anymore and that he basically just sold Sookie off. Jessica tells him that he still can save her, she really saves his last part humanity. Im so glad that Jessica exists! They tell Jason and he and Violet go to the Bellfleur house to ask the remaining fae to come with them and use her light to get to the fae realm. They succeed even though its hard, but the fae girl wants to help. Meanwhile Bill releases Dr. Takahashi, glamours him and leaves him lots of money! 

In the fae realm Warlow has bound Sookie to the pole, and she try to kill him with her vamp killing ball, but he stops her, also bounds her hands to the pole. He tells her, he just wants to fuck, own and use her for her blood. He also calls her a danger whore. Wow. if that is not a bad romance! Meanwhile our Sookie save group enters the realm. Bill, Violet, Jason, Andy and the fae girl enter the realm and free Sookie. They save Sookie and as they escape Bill stays in the realm and fights Warlow. They both leave later through Warlows light. When Warlow tries to get Sookie in her house he fights down Jason, Andy and Violet (Who by the way is 800 years old.) But when he nearly has her in the bathroom Niall comes out of the portal and holds him. Then Jasosn stacks Warlow, and Niall comes back to the normal world. As Warlow is dead all Vamps that have drunken Bill's blood feel that they have lost the ability to walk in the sun. Poor Eric is sitting naked in the swedish mountains sunning in the snow and reading the book when he starts to burn off. BUT: We don not see him splash, so he probably is not dead. But what we see is his dick, and I am sure Alexander Skarsgards dick is or on every gay porn site possible. And I can not say it is not withut reason.

SIX MONTHS LATER....

Sookie watches Bill in a TV interview talking about the story of season 6 as the author of a book about it.  What i hate about it: Sookie is together with Alcide. Her precious fairy vagina! Dammit! Then we see Jason giving head to Violet, as he says he has done so each day since the camp thing, but he still is not allowed to fuck her. Well too bad for you Jason! In a church scene we see both churches of Bon Temps, black and white, together where Sam, the new mayor announces that this evening the "Bellfleur's Bar and Grill" , now owned by Arlene, ffers free food and drink, to find a hep-v free vamp there they can feed and he protects them from the wild attacking hep-v vampires. Some people leave church...

At the party all get together and Taras mom talks to her and wants her daughter to feed of her. And after some hard thinking she does. I just think that bitch is infected and wants to kill her daughter! Do not trust that church cunt! And also it seems that Willa is fine and she would not be that fine if Eric was dead and Tara would not be fine if Pam was dead. Meanwhile jessica goes to the Bellfleur home and offers them their protection but without wanting to feed on them. She tries to redeem herself. As Sookie and Alcide want to go home, Bill offeres them his protection and right as Alcide and Bill start to get bitchy Alcide and Bill smell something: A group of gone wild hep-v vampires starts to come to the party. And they get more and more. Well, I guess that is our cliffhanger for season seven. And damn that is a cliffhanger. Now we can start to tweet #WaitingSucks once more. See you next year Bon Temps.

What I liked was that Pam goes after Eric and that Violet situation for Jason. What I hated: Sookie and Alcide together. What I was shocked by: Warlows 180 turn and Bill relizing his feelings for Sookie. Did I love the finale? Yeas! But it was very unexpected an twisted. And I would have loved to see that Bill - Lillith - Warlow thing played off better. I mean we are talking vampire gods here! But I was kind of ... well not turned down by Eric and his "I Love my Schlong thing". And I cant wait to see what happens to Pam, because for me it is the worst waiting to see what happens to her. Well I guess I just have to wait. ......FUCK! I HATE WAITING! Hurry up HBO! ;)

"TV Series I am addicted to!" - Äkta Människor - Real Humans

The nordic european countries are known for apparently five things: (1) crazy language no matter if Swedish, Danish or Finnish, (2) good furniture made out of wood, or furniture from IKEA, (3) cold icy weather or lots of rain, (4) wonderful for skiing and last, but most important for this post (5) good crime, detective, murder and drama stories. 

Picture and Copyrights belong to SVT TV.

Well crime and drama have always been a huge genre in human literature and performing arts. It seems as though Swedish people have mastered this. In most Swedish crime thrillers there is more murder then in Mexico City and the crimes I talk are not tax-crimes. I mean bloody murder!

The ability to make good TV has been proven by Swedish people all again now with the release of the science fiction drama series called "Äkta Människor" or for those of you who don't speak Swedish (Like me!) "Real Humans". At first the setting of "Real Humans" seems simple. The not so far future, probably in like 10 years, Sweden. Humanity has developed a technology that allows them to create robots that look like humans and act like them. Theses are called Hubots. Hubots basically are just like cars for humans, can work for them in factories, do dangerous jobs, take care of the elders and assist in offices. The thing with them is that there is, as always a downside. These robots are so human that they have caused quite some stir. Some love them, some hate their guts. Thing is that Hubots on the other hand are also abused. They are used as sex slaves and some are eve stolen and reprogrammed. Well, cars get stolen, so where is the line? 

We have the classical situation of the golem problem as the series exposition. We create a creature, which is just like we are, and someday we might loose control about it. The series jumps right into the field with introducing us to a group of Robots who have broken their programming, or  have been reprogrammed, and have, now it comes, free will. Question: Are Hubots feeling creatures? Do they have rights, ore are they really just machines? 

We have several story lines coming together here and there. At first we have the group of free Hubots, lead by a human called Leo. In the first episode one of the Hubots tells Leo that she loves him. This Hubot was hit by a car and can hardly move. Her name is Mimi. Mimi gets kidnapped and is sold to a Hubot reseller. She ends up in a nice family. This family provides the second story line. They rename Mimi Anita and have not bought her, but got her as an extra for the purchase of an elderly care Hubot for their grandfather. His Hubot, Odi, has been defect and needs to be replaced. The third big string evolves around Roger. Roger is a factory worker who is left by his girlfriend and her son, since he lost it and bet up their Hubot. Roger joins a political extremist group who wants Hubots to be forbidden, with arguments as that they steal workplaces and are not human at all. 

So you see we have many different approaches to the human robot situation. All together many questions about consciousness, rights, moral, ethics, religion and personhood are asked. The series has this unique bright and clinic style that is so "nordic" in my perception, and befits the series very well. The makers/creators have the ability that in the series a Hubot doing the shopping for his owner is  exciting and also are able to creep you with the most normal scenes. A great eye catcher, with deep meaning, amazing visuals, great concept and overall extremely good actors. Only remark on the side: Real Humans will probably not be a hit for the mainstream since it is not as attracting as other series. Check out the trailer below and buy that DVD box of season 1! I did so, and my expectations were more then fulfilled. 

"I watch it, so should you!" - True Blood "Dead Meat"

I know I have fangirled more over this True Blood season than a 14 year old about this closeted lesbian named Justin Bieber. Yeah. So that much for those of you who cant take it anymore, but I am going to write about the eighth episode of the sixth season called "Dead Meat".

And thereby I 'd like to give out some awards to the characters, since I feel that this season has put my head near to an explosion, in a positive way. Well lets start with what went down in this episode. Well the most surprising thing is that Alcide and Sam have not bored me to death but also have really worked it out to get me interested once more into their story lines! And even better, with Sam having knocked up Nicole like 12 days after they met, the story gets more confusing! So the Icon Art award for "Finally getting interesting" goes to them. 

Okay and the real deal this episode for me was Sarah Newlin! And I'm not saying she could also be called Sarah Palin, but she could. Bitch is crazy! When she had that fight with the CEO of TruBlood, Mrs. Suzuki, my facial expression was between WTF and I Love it! And only Sarah Newlin can pull it off to thank Jesus after killing Mrs. Suzuki with a fabulous high heel shoe. Well bitch is crazy! And you know what? She so earned the Icon Art award for "Motherfucking Crazy Ass Bitch!". And alongside that the award for "I Hate That Bitch" goes to the vampire who has claimed Jason hers. I kinda wanna know how old she is, because with Pam in gen-pop things could turn. And how she got in there? Well she fucked the psychologist and says the sex was "oozy, but productive". Well the award for "Whore of the Century" goes to Pamela "Fuckalot/Fuckenstein" Swynford de Beaufort. and you know Pam is m favorite character. But seriously, Pam is about 180 years old, and very talented as a vampire. (Remember, she can already fly at such young vampire age?) How old can that other bitch be, that Pam can't fuck her up?

When it comes to Eric and dealing with his anger over the death of Nora I kinda feel his outbreak at the beginning of the episode could have been bigger. I mean I love it, but somehow I expected him to totally loose it and really attacking Bill. But somehow he just looses it mentally, and after Bill levitating him, and Eric making fun of him in a brilliant way, he leaves Bill's mansion. Okay Eric you definitely earned the Icon Art award for "Extremely Complex Character" when Bill needs to receive the award for "Turning One-Dimensional". But Eric feeding on the remaining daughter of Terry to get into the fairy realm was pretty bad ass. But I kinda did not get why he attacked Warlow. #SorryBoutIt

What I was most surprised of was Sookie. When she went to Sam to, I don't know, ad telling him about winding up together, I was really like WTF! But when she stand in front of her parents graves and tells them she'd rather walk the earth as s corpse, then laying besides them for eternity. Wow, finally Sookie makes some good decisions.If Warlow, or any other of these Vampires, wanted to turn me.. well here is my wrist. take a bite and dig me in bitches! Also her wearing that black dress, that hair and that attitude: WOW! This time Sookie gets the Icon Award for "Finally getting things in order!". So in the end we are left hanging, I mean the makers of True Blood really know how to pull a good cliffhanger, with Sookie bringing Bill to the fairy realm discovering Warlow has been attacked by Eric. And shit seems too be going down since he looks kind of dead. Well, the whole episode gave us much, but basically it is just a huge cliffhanger since they bring the story further but leave us standing in the rain. It will be hard to wait seven fucking days 

"TV Series I am addicted to." - Pushing Daisies

I have started my new series from the category "I watch it, so should you!" "TV Series I am addicted to." some time ago. And at first I talked you in why I am so madly in love with "True Blood". But this time you will be introduced to "Pushing Daisies".

It has been some time since "Pushing Daisies" was on TV since it only has 2 seasons and just 22 episodes, which is pretty bad. And the worst is that nobody knew why they canceled the show since it's ratings were pretty good and the show since then has grown a huge fanbase. 

Basically the show is about the pie-maker Ned who has the special ability that if he touches something dead it come to life again. If he touches it again it dies, forever! Thing is that if he touches a living creature and let it stay alive for more than 1 minute something else, with no connection to the thing alive, dies. But: if the pie-maker touches it it still will die forever. Since Ned has this restaurant called "The Pie Hole"and had some financial trouble Ned decides to engage in a partnership with "Emerson Cod" a private investigator. They clear up murder cases by waking up the dead for a minute and asking who killed the victim and for other tips. very often the murderer is not the one alleged but they still find the real murder. What gives the series a special twist is that Ned has re-lived his youth love Charlotte, or as he calls her: "Chuck" They fall madly in love, but can't touch each other. Torpeding their relationship is o pie waitress form the "Pie Hole" is Olive Snook (Played by Kristin Chennowith) who is madly in Love with Ned as well. And giving the series an even more genius twist is that Chucks aunts, who raised her, start to befriends with the "Pie Hole" crew, ned accidentally killed Chuck's father, Chucks can not see her aunts, Emerson has a daughter he has ever seen and Olive does not know about the magic finger of the pie-maker. Sounds cray cray? Yes! But it is so good.

My favorite characters are Chucks aunts Lilly and Vivienne, the former "Darling Mermaids" who were synchronized swimmers, until Lilly has been blinded on one eye whilst cleaning the cat toilet.  You can see a picture of them here. The tone of  and campy, the show is very upbeat, the visuals are amazing, the movie allegories heavy, the story funny and smart and the murder cases morbid, funny and great!

I freely admit that I have an addiction problem when it comes to True Blood. I had like a little pee coming down my leg from the sheer excitement of a new episode. Bad thing is that, since I live in Germany I have to wait till like 5.A.M. on Monday morning until the new episode of True Blood is downloadable from the I-Tunes Store. But anyway: Here is the promised review of the sixth seasons second episode "The Sun"!

!Spoiler Alert! Episode 1 left us off with a bit of a mixture of a shitty and excited feeling. The whole episode was some sort of  a huge over explanation of what happened with Bill and Lillith and everything. but whatever! Episode 2 in my eyes has fully redeemed  episode 1.  So here is my short, not o short, summary of the story.
