Television Stuff

True Blood
To say this season has been stupid would be insulting to stupid things.   The only positive to this stupid witch war against vampires was Sookie getting shot.  Please just die already.  Also, if they kill Bill (hehe), can Pam please kill Tara?  That is all I ask.  I could put up with a season of just Eric being awesome, Jason banging chicks, and Jessica just getting naked.

Eureka
Been a cool season so far, although I really wish they would have taken the Allison being mind-controlled story a little further.   I am also hoping they show the team actually on Titan (I wonder if that story-line is being written because certain characters may have other projects coming up?).

I have loved the Zane/Lupo story and them falling back in love, same with Henry and his wife.  Honestly though, Zane is probably my favorite character on the show (minus Jack).  Anyone have a prediction who will be the team that goes to Titan?   And what they will find there?

-Zane, Lupo, Fargo, Holly, Grace, and Henry.  It would make sense to send couples, right?  Probably not.  Also, since they are using Fargo's FTL device, the trip should be fairly quick.

-They will find something that will help change the earth.  Since next season will be the last, I could see them going that route.

Breaking Bad
HOLY SHIT!  What an intense episode, again!  I thought that Jesse was going to die at least 23 times.  The first part of the ride out to the desert, I kept thinking that Mike was just messing with him.  Especially when they kept going to different spots, I figured Mike was trying to get Jesse to drop his guard, then would kill him at the last spot. 

Instead, he and Gus set it up so some guys attempt to rob Mike.  Jesse sees them and takes the car and almost runs over one of them.  He then swings back around to pick Mike up.  Gus (and not Walter) knew that Jesse wanted to live, he just needed to feel like the hero.  Maye if Walt would have spoken to Jesse about the murder, he could have mentored him.  Walt is behaving like a fool.

Speaking of which, Walt made a huge mistake.  While at dinner with Hank and Marie, Hank says that he wonders what a guy like Gale could have accomplished had he applied himself to something else.  He believes that Gale must have been a genius.  Walt, who is on his way to a nice drunk, starts belittling Gale, saying that he must have copied his work from a real genius, someone who must have been the real Heisenberg.  Hank does not seem amused and is probably going to start asking more questions.

Plus, Hank seems to have been reinvigorated by the case and stopped looking at his minerals.  Hell, he even talked to Marie in a civil manner.

And a preview of Boardwalk Empire

All Sorts of Television Stuff

Where should I start?  Well just sit through the first one and then some of the better ones will come.  How does that work for you? 

True Blood
Witches, werepanthers, Bill's the King, blah blah blah.  Seriously, if this episode would have cut all that crap out and just focused on Eric not having a memory, it would have been a great 23 minutes.  Eric was cracking me up with the entire change in personality.

Also, when Tara pulled the gun on Pam, I really wanted Pam to use her super-speed and just take the gun from Tara and maybe rip her in half.  That would have been cool.  I really wish someone would kill Tara.  That would make my day.

The Glades
I enjoy this show most of the time, for a simple police procedural, it is pretty good.  The main character is pretty funny.  Unfortunately, this weeks episode was a little weak.  They used the partner is the killer trick during the pilot and it worked well.  This time though, I saw it coming a mile away and it was pretty lame.  Do better next week, or else!

Suits
I am digging this show.  It is not really the typical lawyer show.  It focuses mainly on corporate law, instead of criminal law like every other show.  Also, there are almost no court scenes, instead it is all about the research, which from what I have heard from a lawyer friend, is basically what most law ends up being.  Plus Meghan Markle is pretty hot.

Eureka
I cannot believe how much I missed this show.  And luckily, the season premier was pretty good.  Zane and Fargo accidentally launch a rocket into space with themselves stuck inside.  The best part about it though was Fargo ended up being the one to be cool and get them out of the mess.  Usually he gets himself into jams, but everyone else has to get him out.  It was nice to see him as the hero.

And it is about time that Jo and Zane got back together.  Not that I root for things like that because I am so uber-manly.  Speaking of manly, I loved when Andy was on the back of Carter's horse and yelled "I'm on a horse."  Great reference to the commercial, without being ridiculous.

Warehouse 13
Alright, I am glad they did not have Myka out for too long.  She is just too hot and she is a great foil for Pete.  Although, I did enjoy the new guy, I think his name is Steve.  I hope he sticks around, that way we can see more mult-case episodes with one of them going out with Claudia.
