How Much Blood Will Spill At Game Of Thrones Red Wedding?

Game Of Thrones - Episode 3.09 - The Rains of Castamere

Robb presents himself to Walder Frey, and Edmure meets his bride. Jon faces his harshest test yet. Bran discovers a new gift. Daario and Jorah debate how to take Yunkai. House Frey joins with House Tully.

(Written by David Benioff & D. B. Weiss; directed by David Nutter.)

Note: Premieres JUNE 2 (There is a two-week gap between episodes 308 and 309 due to American Memorial Day weekend.)

I love how vague the HBO episode descriptions are. They certainly do a fine job of teasing what might happen (See--Episode 308: 'Sam and Gilly meet an older gentleman,' which translated to the screen as, 'Sam and Gilly are attacked by a white walker intent on taking Gilly's baby son'. So take the Game Of Thrones Episode 309 'The Rains of Castamere,' description as if it were on par in detail with 'an older gentleman' equaling 'a white walker'.

Let's break it down a bit.

First of all, the episode title alludes to the true story that Cersei (Lena Headey) regaled Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) with at Tyrion's (Peter Dinklage) and Sansa's (Sophie Turner) forced wedding, just before Cersei threatened to have Joffery's (Jack Gleeson) bride-to-be 'strangled in (her) sleep', should she ever refer to Cersei as 'sister' again.

Recounting the Rains of Castamere must have gotten Cersei's bloodlust aroused. It is also your clue about the upcoming GoT episode which airs after a 2-week hiatus, due to the American summer holiday weekend.

There will be blood--plenty of it after 'Robb presents himself to Walder Frey, and Edmure meets his bride.' BOOK SPOILER. Keep in mind that in the TV show Robb Stark plans to ally with the Freys after breaking his promise to wed a Frey daughter. Walder Frey has no intention at all of making peace, quite the opposite is planned in a manner which is beyond Frey's capacity. Frey has joined with another force entirely.

Game Of Thrones - Episode 3.09 - The Rains of Castamere (Cr: HBO)

The question isn't 'Will Robb (Richard Madden) survive', but will his wife and unborn child? If GRRM had written this episode I'd expect poor Talisa (Oona Chaplin) to get a knife or arrow to the gut. The penultimate Episode 309 was written however, by the guys that are adapting this behemoth for television, David Benioff & D. B. Weiss, so I'm hoping that with all the carnage, they might have chosen to let Talisa live.

The allusion to Bran discovering 'a new gift' sounds like it is taken from this photo set:

 

If you recall, Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) is a 'warg'--a human who can see through the eyes of an animal. Game Of Thrones - Episode 3.09 - The Rains of Castamere (Cr: HBO)

It appears that Bran and Co. have made it to a point on the Wall. Bran is obviously having a vision but of what? His brother Jon and the wildlings? The Red Wedding? Danger in the form of a white walker?

NURSE JACKIE 505 – “Good Thing” Episode Details

Jackie continues to be pulled in opposite directions of the emotional spectrum. On the one hand, a nice, stable, funny guy is interested in her and they have begun to date. At the same time, Jackie's eldest daughter Grace, is acting out; she's lying and dating an age-inappropriate guy and in general, has a surly attitude. Even little Fiona is misbehaving enough that her school master has a conference with Jackie and Kevin. Then there's the issue of custody with Kevin and most profoundly, Jackie's tenuous sobriety. How much pressure can Jackie handle as she navigates her first year sober--without any kind of outside support? It's a question that will remain open until there's an answer.

At the same time, Grace and her friends sneak out to the dance and a surprise police raid separates Grace from Danny and all of her friends. Alone on the streets of New York, Grace frantically tries calling Jackie but all of her calls go to voicemail. Back at Cruz’s apartment, Jackie notices her missed calls and rushes out to pick up Grace.

"If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention"

 

Kit Harington as Jon Snow, Mackenzie Crook as Orell and Rose Leslie as Ygritte in Game Of Thrones episode 7 (Cr: HBO)

Arya lost her last, best friend when the ever-somber Melisandre paid an unannounced visit to the Brotherhood Without Banners. Despite Gendry's protestations that he wished to become one of the Brotherhood and his worth to them as a blacksmith, he was sold off to the red witch for a couple of bags of gold.

Arya called Mel out as the witch she is and SPOILER correctly predicted that Gendry's fate in the witch's hands would be grim. (Remember the line Mel had about Stannis not being only one with King's blood? Gendry is the bastard son of Stannis's brother, the deceased King Robert Baratheon.)

Melisandre fixed her gaze on Arya and most likely nailed it when she insinuated that Arya would be responsible for many deaths in the future. She also, in her trademark spooky way, told Arya that they would meet again.

'Dexter' Season 8 NEW! - Debra: From Cop To Killer (VIDEO) @SHO_Network #dexter

Is There Any Way Back For Deb From Cop To Killer or Has Dexter Destroyed His Sister?

 

Jennifer Carpenter as Deb and Michael C. Hall as Dexter in 'Dexter' Season 8 (Cr: Showtime)

 

The cast and crew of Dexter discuss Debra's progression from cop to killer.

The first time we met Dexter's Debra Morgan (Jennifer Carpenter) on the job, she was on the street--literally. She was so far down the rung of the cop hierarchy that she worked undercover as a prostitute and knew all the working girls on a first-name basis.

As time moved forward, so did Debra, until the day she achieved her dream of becoming a detective. Deb was very good at what she did and probably would have remained working as a detective for the foreseeable future. But Deb's future became something that never, in her darkest dreams, could she have imagined. Because her boss, the hyper-ambitious, unethical Maria LaGuerta used her as a pawn, Debra was thrust into the role of Lieutenant of Miami Metro, a job she neither desired nor was in any way prepared for. Deb however, was determined to make the best of it and she was managing OK until her world fell apart when she literally walked into a crime scene--that of her beloved brother Dexter (Michael C. Hall), stabbing his latest prey right in the heart.

In shock and disbelief, Deb agreed to allow Dexter to cover up the crime but she insisted he stop killing altogether. Dexter, for his sister's sake, tried to resist his urges, but in the end he went back to killing, which became an insurmountable problem for Debra.

LaGuerta again forced her way into the picture, only this time she was in pursuit of Dexter who she believed was the Bay Harbor Butcher instead of the deceased Sgt. Doakes. Ultimately, in a container in a shipping yard, Debra had to make the choice between sparing Dexter and effectively condemning her brother to death for his crimes or killing Dexter, which she found impossible to do.

As we open up Dexter's final season, six months have passed since the moment that Deb changed from a cop to a killer. As Dexter laments in this Deb-centric video, he has destroyed his sister.

Where can the two possibly go from here? Might Deb embrace a dark side of her own--and what form would that take? Meanwhile, how is Dexter to help Deb when he's still indulging his darkest side and she cannot bear the sight of him? It's gonna be very interesting to see where season 8 takes them--and us!

Dexter Excuses Supercut (VIDEO)

Watch a compilation of Dexter's best excuses from the last 7 seasons!

Throughout the series, Dexter (Michael C. Hall) has had to make up dozens of excuses--lies, actually--on the fly but he's nothing if not a quick thinker. He's probably lied more to his sister Deb (Jennifer Carpenter) than anyone, provoking her to ask, 'Where in fucktopia were you?' Dexter has had a lot of "personal business," that seems to puzzle Deb--though she never really questioned his honesty, before last season, when this happened:

Debra had to chose in the season 7 finale whether to shoot her boss, Maria LaGuerta, who had uncovered Dexter's serial killing ways and was begging Deb to 'put him down.' Dexter smoothly manipulated the situation, encouraging Deb that she had no other choice but to shoot him. After anguishing for what seemed like an enternity, Deb shot LaGuerta in cold blood, sparing her cold-blooded serial killer brother.

Nurse Jackie Season 5: Next on Episode 4 (VIDEO) & Good Doc, Bad Doc Cast Interviews!

Edie Falco as Jackie and Adam Ferrara as Frank in Nurse Jackie Episode 5.04 "Lost Girls" (Cr: Showtime)

Looking at the screencaps (above) from the Nurse Jackie promo for episode 5.04 "Lost Girls,' one thing in particular stands out. Other than when she's directly interacting with her girls or with BFF Dr. O'Hara, we never see Jackie look this happy. It's a completely different Nurse Jackie because unlike the forced smiles when she was abusing painkillers, this is a real 'whole face' smile. It's very attractive, don't you think?

However, real life has a way of breaking in and smiles fade soon enough. In this episode, Jackie must deal with both her girls acting out. It may be due to the discord that the separation and custody fight caused or in Grace's case, it may just be the terrible teens. Jackie also must deal with the still obviously smitten, Eddie. They have to work together and Jackie stills cares for him so she comes up with a simple way to make sure they are on the same "page". It's a really nice scene and there's a sense of an end--finally--to the air of hostility between them.

We are still getting to know the seemingly inept, iPhone-addicted Dr. Roman.  She's a master manipulator of men and she is quite successful, especially concerning Coop (shocking, I know).

Akalitus's memory issues make have put a patient with a secret at great risk, not to mention All Saint's, but could it be possible that we've underestimated her? Tune in for all this and much more!

NURSE JACKIE 504 – “Lost Girls”Episode Details

An agitated and heavily medicated Jane Doe is brought into the ER. Jackie and Kevin are called into Fiona’s school because she’s been acting out in class. Jackie catches Grace sneaking around the city to see her much older boyfriend. When Jackie gets back to the hospital, she learns that Akalitus lost Jane Doe just as her concerned husband shows up at the hospital. Akalitus tells Jackie that the “concerned” husband has been drugging Jane Doe and she’s helping her get to a safe house. When Prentiss finds out, the nurses unite to take the blame, but he surprises them all by saying if this happens again they should come to him.

'Dexter' Teases - Killer or Innocent Victim - Behind a Mask (VIDEO) SPOILERS @SHO_Network #dexter

Dexter Season 8: In Production with David Zayas (VIDEO)

(Credit: Showtime)

Showtime has been busy piling on the season 8 Dexter videos--not that anyone is complaining! If you keep a close eye out, there are several semi-spoiler-y images that you can check out. I screencapped them all so you can do your own sleuthing but from the top we have: David Zayas, who plays Batista, appears to have taken Deb's place as per his stance at the podium in the staff meeting room. That then means that Deb has stepped down as Lieutenant and from the looks of this sneak peek she's gone down a couple of rungs to doing undercover work.

Speaking of police work, in the 'Dexter Season 8: In Production with David Zayas' clip, after he introduces his son who is his stand-in, we can see part of the whiteboard where the details of the current crime investigation are laid out. We have a serial killer whose crimes have been dubbed the "Surgeon Murders." We also have serveral shots which illustrate some of the Surgeon's work like this one, which, bonus! includes Charlotte Rampling:

In the Killer or Innocent Victim Dexter Clip, Dexter frets about what he has done to Debra's psyche. After spending much of his life protecting her, he may now have destroyed her. Jennifer Carpenter, who plays Debra, does a particularly great job of expressing a wide range of emotions in the clip, which is one of the reasons we love her so.

The Behind A Mask Dexter Clip again has Michael C. Hall, who plays Dexter, doing the voice-over. He's fretting again, this time about how his mask is slipping evermore and he's certain that his time of remaining the anonymous vigilante is coming to an end.

More Behind-the-Scenes Footage from True Blood Season 6!

Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård) Cr: HBO

Waiting sucks but Season 6 of True Blood premieres Sunday, June 16 at 9pm only on HBO.

True Blood returns in June, and HBO has released the third of multiple “Waiting Sucks” videos that give us a behind-the-scenes look at the new season.

This short scene involves the interrogation by Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård) of Willa Burrell (Amelia Rose Blaire) the daughter of anti-vampire Louisiana Governor Creighton Burrell (Arliss Howard). Willa tells Eric of vampire abductions and torture. The governor's daughter has been described as being sympathetic to the vampire cause so Eric is probably just showing off when he 'drops fang'. Or not.

True Blood Season 6 will have 10 episodes (cut from 12), with the first episode airing on June 16th at 9:00 pm. There are many new characters this season, including those played by Rutger Hauer, Arliss Howard, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Amelia Rose Blaire, Karolina Wydra, and Luke Grimes.

She wasn't handling knowing that Dexter was a serial killer all that well and now, because of her love for her brother she's allowed him to draw her in to his murderous ways--and Debra hates both Dexter and herself but above all, herself for turning into a despicable creature that she does not recognize as the old Debra, who will not ever be able to look at herself in the mirror and just see "Deb," ever again.

Has the murder of Maria LaGuerta by Deb on Dexter's behalf at the end of season 7 started Deb on the path to a place she won't be able to come back from?

To thank you for your love and support over the last seven years, we wanted you, the fans, to be the first to see an exclusive sneak peek at the eighth and final season of DEXTER!

'Dexter' June 30th at 9pm ET/PT on Showtime.

 

Learn more at http://www.sho.com/dexter

We can confirm that the upcoming eighth season of our groundbreaking series DEXTER® will be its final one. Today’s announcement coincides with the release of an exclusive tease from the premiere of the series’ eighth and final season, which debuts on Sunday June 30th at 9 p.m. ET/PT . The series premiered on October 1, 2006 and has grown its loyal audience every season since its debut. DEXTER was the recipient of the prestigious Peabody Award, as well as 25 Emmy and 10 Golden Globe Award nominations, and was twice named one of AFI’s top ten television series. “When it debuted in 2006, DEXTER redefined the genre, by taking the anti-hero to new heights and pushing the boundaries of the television landscape,” said Matthew C. Blank, Chairman and CEO, Showtime Networks Inc. “DEXTER paved the way for the next generation of award-winning hit SHOWTIME series, and its cultural impact will be felt for years to come.” “DEXTER is a landmark franchise for our network, and we cannot wait to unveil the conclusion of this series, as we know it, to the millions of passionate fans who have supported the show season after season,” said David Nevins, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc. “We’d like to thank Michael, Jennifer, and DEXTER ‘s indomitable cast, executive producers, writers and crew for eight incredible seasons.” The exclusive tease from DEXTER ‘s eighth and final season premiere gives fans a sneak peek into the mindset of Dexter and Debra Morgan after LaGuerta’s death in season seven.

To watch the clip, go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy6u5rXqN5o.

DEXTER stars Michael C. Hall in his Golden Globe and SAG Award-winning role as Dexter Morgan, a complicated and conflicted blood-spatter expert for the Miami police department. Season eight begins six months after LaGuerta’s murder – and Dexter is still managing life as a dad, brother, and serial killer. As Deb (series star Jennifer Carpenter) struggles to deal with the consequences of her actions, a mysterious woman comes to work with Miami Metro, offering first-hand information on Dexter’s past. The series also stars Desmond Harrington, C.S. Lee, Aimee Garcia, David Zayas, Geoff Pierson and James Remar.

'Nurse Jackie' Episode 5.02 – Sneak Peeks & Promo Stills (Credit: Showtime)

 

It's kind of cringe-inducing watching Kevin (Dominic Fumusa) and Jackie (Edie Falco) go for each other's jugulars but their breaking up was probably a good thing as they were a pretty boring couple--life around them alone was pretty airless.

If you haven't been spoiled yet on this it should not be a shocker: Now-sober and in divorce (custody) proceedings Jackie starts back into the dating game.

Jackie and Kevin are not setting really good boundaries for their 'ex' marital spats which, come to think of it, they didn't bother doing when they were a supposedly happy couple, back when Jackie was a pill-head who bedded the pharmacist to get painkillers to feed her addiction. Yikes, there's been forward movement--for Jackie, anyway, as you'll see in the next handful of episodes. BIG emotional ups and downs, including examining a parent's worst nightmare via a former colleague who lost his son--Jackie's treatment program buddy--OD'd and died so his father--Jackie's boss upped and quit as head of the hospital. He wants a private exit interview with Jackie--stat!

Their have been some really fresh casting choices and surprising developments in the story but the 'best' surprise in season five is about how great Nurse Jackie remains. Seven episodes in to Nurse Jackie's- fifth season and this is my favourite of all the seasons so far.

NURSE JACKIE 502 – “Luck of the Drawing” Episode Details

Jackie and Kevin at a stalemate in their divorce mediation. Unless Jackie can figure out her work hours, Kevin wants full custody....Jackie takes advantage of Akalitus’s memory lapses and gets her to sign off on a schedule but Kevin surprises her by announcing he’s petitioning for psych tests on the girls. Jackie, overwhelmed by the day, downloads to the only person who will understand. She calls Charlie Cruz’s voicemail. When Jackie gets home, Zoey surprises her with the girls, cake, a piñata, and a surprise Skype guest, O’Hara. Grace releases her wrath on the piñata.

Love this shot of these two ladies (above), whose scenes together are just going to get-ever-more-intense.  

If this scenes is what I think it is, the episode title is referring to James Cosmos' character Jeor Mormont  = 'The Old Bear.'.SPOILER: IIRC, he goes out with dignity--but possibly not some of his own men.

I've watched the first five episodes of the new season of Nurse Jackie after having watched since it premiered 4 years ago. I am so very pleased with it and I think you will be, too.

At it's core, the show is about a head nurse who outwardly, has it all together--she's extremely competant, a leader, instills confidence in others--then it spins out of control due to her drug addiction. By this season's opener, Nurse Jackie has gone to rehab, completing eight of the steps, and has been sober for about 9 months, give or take. But she insists on staying sober by playing by her own rules which makes for a razor thin line for Jackie to walk while staying on top of her 70-hour a week job, going through the wrenching emotional mechanics of a divorce/deciding who gets the girls. Could their be room for romance, too? That would be a first--but then, so is her sobriety so don't miss what will be the best ever season of Nurse Jackie.

See what happened on the season 3 premiere episode of "Game of Thrones." And remember to catch new episodes every Sunday night at 9pm only on HBO. For more on Game of Thrones, go to http://itsh.bo/HpR8b1.

This is a unique recap, not just of the happenings in Game Of Thrones episode 301 but additional scenes that tie Arya, Jaime and Brienne's season 2 story to the what I'm guessing will be in episode #2--and it's close-captioned!

I really missed having any scenes in the Game Of Thrones premiere episode featuring Arya especially, as she is the most compelling character in one of the most-heartbreaking situations. She quite literally has no one fending for her--she's the leader of her little pack of  'runaways' and will continue to be, through fierce circumstances that would be daunting even for an adult, never mind a girl of perhaps twelve or thirteen.

*Question: I was wondering if you had any scoops as we head into Sunday’s finale of the Showtime series, Shameless?

Ausiello: Although the penultimate episode strongly implied that Jimmy was about to sail away to his death, Emmy Rossum tells TVLine that his ultimate fate remains a mystery — even to her.

”They shot a bunch of different things [in the finale] in terms of Jimmy, and they’re not telling us what they’re airing,” she says. “So I’m not really sure how the season ends, to be honest.”

Meanwhile, Rossum says we should also be “worried about Frank, because we’re going to see him take the biggest toll in the finale.”

'True Blood' - Season 6: Tease #1 - First Official Sneak Peek! (VIDEO) Screencaps #truebloodseason6

True Blood - Season 6 - HBO Announces Premiere Date

Alexander Skarsgård, Anna Paquin & Stephen Moyer star in True Blood Season 6 (Cr: HBO)

The ten-episode season of TRUE BLOOD kicks off SUNDAY, JUNE 16 at (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT). Based on the popular Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris, this Emmy®-nominated hit drama series was created by Alan Ball, creator of HBO’s Emmy®-winning series “Six Feet Under.” The show follows waitress and part-faerie Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), who can hear people’s thoughts, vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) and vampire Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård).

SOURCE: HBO 

True Blood Season 6: Tease #1 (VIDEO)

It was announced previously that True Blood would be scaled back to 10 episodes in season 6 due to the show's stars, husband and wife Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin expanding their household when Paquin gave birth late last summer--and according to Alan Ball, 'economics'. Given that if renewed, True Blood will be going into it's 7th season in 2014, it may be more financially feasible for HBO to keep the show (like the mega-fantasy hit Game Of Thrones) to just ten episodes per season.

 

Giving us a broad hint that True Blood has not lost it's sense of humour, Alexander Skarsgård as Eric Northman appears to be in civilain clothes--a couple sizes too small for him. (Cr: HBO)

TRUE BLOOD Casting Update - Season 6 - Karolina Wydra to Recur

Spending a year married to Gregory House can turn a woman into a real bloodsucker.
Case in point: Karolina Wydra — who played Dominika, the convenient bride of Hugh Laurie’s titular doc on Fox’s House — is joining True Blood‘s sixth season as a badass vampire, TVLine has learned exclusively.

Wydra’s recurring character, Violet, is described as a strong, sexy, possibly dangerous vamp on par with the Eric Northmans and Bill Comptons of the world.

Jimmy & Fiona: Can This Relatonship Be Saved?

Shameless - Episode 3.11 - 'Order Room Service' - Sneak Peek VIDEO 3

Hard to be optimistic about Fiona (Emmy Rossum) and Jimmy's (Justin Chatwin) chances for reconciliation any time before season 4 as this penultimate Sneak Peek VIDEO 3 illustrates pretty profoundly. I used to wish for them to have a happily ever-after, but truly, Jimmy/Steve is not a good guy.

Throughout season 3 he played the role of devoted partner to Fiona (at least when he wasn't boning his wife, Estefania) and stand-in dad to the Gallagher brood but ultimately, he is a thief, a liar and a cheat. Fiona, despite her horrible upbringing and grim life is a better person than he is. She deserves better so I'm rooting for this relationship to go down in flames.

Game Of Thrones Season 3: Inside The Wildlings (VIDEO)

Game of Thrones - Episode 3.01 - Valar Dohaeris - Review 

This is an initial impression of the premiere episode Game of Thrones - Episode 3.01 - 'Valar Dohaeris'. It contains only the mildest of spoilers.

Unsurprisingly and very satisfyingly, the series has raised the bar yet again visually. The locations, the sets, the costumes, the effects… everything just looks sumptuous. 

In the premiere episode, we pick up where we left off last season, with Sam Tarley running from the White Walkers and their army of undead. The scene is intense and atmospheric...with a surprise ending. Cut to the opening credits, which feature King’s Landing, Winterfell, Harrenhal, Dragonstone, the Wall and Astapor.

The rest of the episode is dedicated to catching us up with the various players in the story, including those in King’s Landing, on Dragonstone, beyond the Wall and across the Narrow Sea.

Many of these scenes do double-duty, not only catching us up on past events but also setting things up for later in the season like... watching the chess pieces being moved into position yet again... and their potential meaning... for the storylines this season.

And what of those storylines? Every one wants to know how closely this season will hew to A Storm of Swords.

Having only watched a fraction of season 3... it seems that they are still following the main storyline but at times...taking a different path getting to their destination.

There are a number of new scenes in episode one that are not in the book but which blend in in such a way that they could have been.

Others scenes, like in past seasons are wholly different from the writings of George R.R. Martin, but they serve to streamline events and characters.

 Mini Recap - Game Of Thrones Season 2

Season 2 of Game Of  Thrones kept most of our characters very busy.

Robb Stark is fight­ing for an in­de­pen­dent North.

Theon Greyjoy turned on the Starks but was even­tu­ally stabbed in the back by his own fam­ily.

Jof­frey Lan­nis­ter is still on the Iron Throne, but his uncle, Renly Baratheon, also felt he had the right to claim the throne and he re­ceived help from House Tyrell.

Tyrion Lan­nis­ter ar­rived in King’s Land­ing to be­come the hand of the king, only to al­most succcumb dur­ing the Bat­tle of the Black­wa­ter and then to be cast aside by his own fa­ther, Tywin.

Then there is Stan­nis Baratheon, also still in it to win it, and he is being helped by Melisan­dre (Carice van Houten).

Mean­while, Daen­erys Tar­garyen is still on Essos with her three drag­ons, Jon Snow is still a cap­tive of the Wildlings, and the last episode ended with Sam Tarly try­ing to hide from an army of White Walk­ers.

Frank becomes the poster boy for Gay Rights in Shameless this week

Shameless Episode 3.09 "Frank The Plumber" (VIDEO)

Episode 3.09 Description -

Fiona starts a new office job but has a hard time fitting in with the corporate culture. In an attempt to get medical coverage, Frank inadvertently becomes involved in the gay rights movement where he meets Abraham Paige (guest star Bradley Whitford), a powerful activist. (SOURCE: Showtime)

Of the 15 promo photos, the one of Ian (Cameron Monaghan) sitting on his porch steps with a really messed up eye is the one that most interests me. I have no spoilers for this episode but I get the feeling that Mickey (Noel Fisher) did this to him. That Mickey is a real rotter. I can see being attracted to dangerous boys but he's a nasty, dangerous boy and Ian could do way better. Maybe he will.

I was noticing last week how nicely Emma Greenwell as Mandy is meshing with the cast. She's not the season 1 actress that played Mandy but I really like her and the nuances to her character that we are seeing through her involvement with Lip. Like her aunt said, she's the most decent of all the Milkoviches.

Finally, the promo photos strongly indicate that Lip's (Jeremy White) ex, Karen has made another drastic choice. The three shots of her mother, Sheila (Joan Cusak), with Shelia being pampered by Debs (Emma Kenney) and a shot of the two of them indulging in a big hug, tells me that both of them have had some really emotionally wrenching times of late and that you can find comfort in the least-expected places.

Tony's (Tyler Jacob Moore) back! ...with more bad news for the Gallaghers

 

SHAMELESS 308 – “Where There’s a Will” Episode Description

 

Emma Kenney as "Debs" has been such a big piece of the heart, excellence & essence of this show's third season. "Shameless, The "American version" of the long-running British show of the same name is on it's own merits, an unqualified hit. 

Emmy Rossum as Fiona Gallagher, de facto mom to her sibling brood, is still phenomenal--most everyone in the cast is. Even Liam (Brenden Sims & Brandon Sims) is getting some good lines this season!

The family gathers for real Aunt Ginger’s fake funeral where they meet Frank’s cousin Patrick. Patrick also forged a will, and since his is dated more recently than theirs, the house is going to him. The family conspires to challenge the will and to get rid of Patrick.

 

After a failed clean-up gig, Jimmy finds a new job at the Coffee Beanery. He runs into an old friend from med school, Andy, and he begins to wonder what he’s doing with his life.

Meanwhile, Fiona and Lip look for a new house. Not wanting to move, Carl poisons cousin Patrick. Patrick lives and the Gallagher’s lose their battle for the house. Source: Showtime

 

When Tony arrives with an eviction notice, Debbie falsely accuses Patrick of touching her in her ‘nice places’. Patrick bargains with Fiona. For a small fee, the Gallagher’s can rent the house from him and continue to live there.

 

This was very funny and I really like the idea of calling our 'naughty bits' our 'nice places.' Empowering and funny!

 

With Hymie gone, Sheila no longer needs Frank as a nanny and Frank needs a new place to stay. Luckily, he meets creepy, vulnerable Christopher at his AA meeting. Sheila becomes an advocate of the word ‘retard’ and learns that Karen was the one that called the Wong’s. Kev and Carol continue to get busy with the hopes of making a baby.

One thing about the Showtime offer where with a Showtime subscription, you can watch basically this week's and next week's episode of Californication on two consecutive nights. That's great for the genral audience; it keeps people like me on my toes.

Though I thought I was doing pretty well keeping the episode sequences set right, I found a photo source that had gotten them wrong--and it made me double check even though I was so sure--unless the publicity peeps got things out of sequence, too. Not hard to fathom when you have two fresh episodes of the same show going out at essentially the same time. Yikes.

How Shameless Will Frank Be to Keep 'His' Kids?

Cameron Monaghan as Ian and Emma Greenwell as Mandy in Shameless episode 307 (Credit: Showtime)

Despite the many jams the Gallagher kids have found themselves in, this set of 'cascading failures' seems a near-impossible one for Fiona to fix. Faced with losing Liam, Carl and Debs to the system as well as losing the house due to Frank's (William H. Macy) decade-and-a-half of swindling the government by pretending to be the deceased Aunt Ginger, Fiona (Emmy Rossum) doesn't even have a moment to feel sorry for herself.

 

Emmy Rossum as Fiona in episode 8 of Shameless--the crisis continues (Cr: Showtime)

 

As the eldest Gallagher kid, Fiona has to act quickly and to steel herself for the next blow--and they just keep coming. This story arc (episodes 306 - 308) has some of the heaviest, most heartfelt and splendid "Shameless" writing and performances I've yet seen on a show that has already been lauded many times for these qualities. There's nothing funny about a family being torn apart or losing their home but in true Shameless style, there's alway an undercurrent of humour at just how horrible and seemingly hopeless the situation is.

Meanwhile, life at Sheila (Joan Cusak) and Jody's (Zach McGowan) house is upended after an unexpected knock at the door (and I don't mean Karen returning) and Kev (Steve Howey) and V's (Shanola Hampton) quest for a surrogate pregnancy via her mother takes a turn for the ever-more-twisted.

SHAMELESS 307 – “A Long Way from Home” Episode Description

Knowing that Frank is the real reason DFS is on their case, Fiona decides to seek sole custody of the kids. She just needs a full-time job and a house. Fiona and Lip set out to forge Aunt Ginger’s will, and to find a dead body to go with it.

Still in their respective foster homes, Debbie is forced into slave labor in Kamala’s basement. Carl fights strict parental controls at Cassius and Lanier’s. Ian confronts Mickey about Terry.

 Will the passengers of Californication' s Air Force 69 go down?

'In the Clouds' has brought us to the halfway point of Californication - season 6 but there's nothing 'half-a**ed' about this outing. In what is one of the funniest episodes ever, Charlie and The Widow find a way to cope with his revelation that he 'still loves his ex-wife' and with his deep fear of dying before he disembarks. Later, after Atticus Finch has failed Faith's test, a surprised Hank gets some potentially life-changing news.

Do Things Seem Like They Are Getting 'More Chaotic' On Shameless?

 

Emmy Rossum (Fiona) and Emma Kenney (Debs) in Shameless - episode 305 on Showtime Sunday nights (Cr: Showtime)

... was the question my spouse lobbed my way after last week's episode. With a chuckle I answered, 'Aren't they always?'

 The Gallaghers lives continue to spiral into chaos as Debbie gets terrorized at the pool (guess the 90-seconds-holding-her-breath-plan didn't go as planned), Carl (wearing an I Beat Cancer t-shirt) believes he is a cancer survivor, Fiona's locked in the ladies room at work by her co-workers for not performing like they do, the Gallagher's literally have a dead body buried in the back yard (and the city sewer people are on their way to dig). And then there's the small problem of Jimmy's coping with his dad coming out. Just another day for the Gallaghers.

 Episode Desciption - The city of Chicago gives notice that they're doing work on the sewer main. The problem? Aunt Ginger's bones are still buried in the yard and Frank needs to find her before the city does. Meanwhile, Fiona is picked on at work for not satisfying her boss. When Fiona fails to provide the support Jimmy needs, he turns to Este. Molly learns that she's a boy and Ned asks Ian to rob his wife's house.  Source: Showtime

 Ken discovers Charlie's secret. Marcy makes a decision about Stu.

Every time I think Californication can't possibly push the envelope any further, they simply push forward and shred the thing. From Marcy's decision about Stu which will have you, depending on your sex, either on the floor laughing or doing the same but wincing, to the highly amusing encounter between former LOST co-stars Maggie Grace and Jorge Garcia, who meet up along with an uber uncool Charlie and a more enlightened Hank, the laughs keep coming as episode 6.05 "Rock and A Hard Place" queues us up for an even more outrageous episode 6 (which you can watch on Monday on Showtime Anytime, if you like!)

Push doesn't turn into shove as much as it becomes a strong pull in Californication Episode 6.04, "Hell Bent For Leather,' for Charlie to 'come out' as straight or continue his exploration of the gay subculture as Robbie Mac's 'gaygent.' Thus far, Charlie has sidestepped and skirted the hands-on aspect of being a gay man but the litmus test comes in this episode and it changes everything.

Emmy Rossum, who plays the most-awesome oldest daughter "Fiona Gallagher", brings us up-to-speed with the 3-4 months that has elapsed since last we checked in on our favourite South-side Chicago family. First of all, the Gallagher 'family' has expanded by two (and is about to add one more(!). Fiona's gotten her GED so the world should be her oyster, right?  She might disagree. Jimmy/Steve has become a stay-at-home surrogate dad which should be a great opportunity for Fiona to get out of the house more...but seems to be having mixed results (something about a man with a mop?). Frank has been MIA for months and only Debs is concerned for him, and --no surprise--Veronica and Kevin are up to some new kinky endeavors. You have to tune into Shameless on Sunday to see it and believe it. And seriously, it's the middle of winter in Chicago, couldn't you use a good laugh?

Season 5 of Californication ended in a rather dark place: Hank (David Duchovny) was (possibly fatally(!) drugged by a bitter/crazy ex-girlfriend and based on the exclusive first look at Season 6, things will remain dark when the show resumes — at least for a little while.

"We pick up days after that in the hospital, where Hank has survived but she hasn't," Duchovny says. "This season kind of begins with Hank spiraling down."

"We go to rehab, but it's really just for comedic purposes," Duchovny says.

The video also offers you a first look at some of this season's guest stars. Tim Minchin plays a rock star wanting Hank's help in develop his book God Hates Us All into a Broadway musical.

Marilyn Manson and Maggie Grace play some of the characters Hank encounters in the rock 'n' roll world. Other treats in the clip: Charlie (Evan Handler) pretends to be gay to land a big client who wants a new agent ("gaygent") and Karen (Natascha McElhone) and Marcy (Pamela Adlon) are roomates.

Jorge Garcia will join the previously announced Maggie Grace in the new season of Showtime’s Californication.

Grace has signed to play Faith, a groupie who develops a relationship with Hank Moody (David Duchovny). Later, her fellow Lost costar Garcia will make an appearance in one episode as an old contact from her past. Garcia last appeared in the short-lived Fox drama Alcatraz from J.J. Abrams.

It looks like Hank (David Duchovny) is literally going to be haunted by ex-girlfriend Carrie (Natalie Zea), who, after Hank broke up with her and left for California, burned down his New York apartment, then stalked Hank in California. Carrie's final destructive act, spiking Hank's drink with a potentially lethal amount of prescription drugs could prove the impetus for Hank to finally clean up his act. Can he, will it take, and would a sober Hank be a fun Hank?

'The Choice' Season 2, Episode 12

In the Season 2 finale, Carrie is faced with a pivotal decision, while Brody meets with Faber to contemplate the future of the family. Meanwhile, Saul undertakes a secret assignment; and Quinn has a decision to make that may prove to be a game-changer.

Homeland - Episode 2.12 (Season Finale) 'The Choice' (Cr: Showtime)

No matter what happens on the season 2 final of Homeland, I doubt very much that it will feel ambiguous. If you've been watching thus far you know that episode 2 or 4 or even 11 could have been concluding episodes rather than contained within the season. The writers are not afraid to drive the story at dizzying speeds--yet somehow never sacrificing the character development. With Brody unmasked as a terrorist, both Vice President Walden and Abu Nazir dead, Brody's marriage over and Brody, unbeknownst to him or Carrie, with a giant target on his forehead, how can this possibly end well? One would guess that Brody's must die. The CIA has sanctioned his death, he has a black ops assassin who is tracking him--the only thing standing between him and a bullet to the brain is Carrie--which is a pretty scary thought. There's no doubt in my mind that however this turns out, that Homeland's season 2 finale episode is going to be a real nail-biter. And we wouldn't want it any other way, right? See you Sunday!

Homeland: A Preview of the Season Finale from EP Alex Gansa - Will Brody die?   

With only one episode left in its second season, Showtime’s Homeland has already dispatched two very prominent characters: Vice President Walden (Jamey Sheridan) went last week, and in episode 11's shocking hour, elusive terrorist Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban) was finally caught and killed.

Had producers known from the beginning of season 2 that Homeland‘s big bad would perish? “I think the short answer to that is yes,” says executive producer Alex Gansa. “The long answer is we weren’t actually sure how that would happen. But the reason we wanted Walden and Nazir both dead is we wanted to open the possibility that Brody and Carrie could have a happy ending, that their doomed romance was not doomed after all. The only way to make that happen was to off these two antagonists.”

... So what can Gansa tease about next week’s season finale? “The final episode is called ‘The Choice,’ and what I can say about it is .... we’ve sort of left the thriller aspects of the show behind and now we come to a very personal story about Carrie and Brody and all the obstacles that lie in the way of them being together. That is what the finale is about. It’s a real character study of these two people, where they’ve come from, how they regard each other, and whether or not there’s a future for them.” Source

In the adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic novel, Bilbo Baggins is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain, first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever... Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, he.... gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities... A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know. Source: New Line Cinema

It's time now to make your best guess as to how Dexter season 7 will wrap up.

Last week, after discovering that Hannah (Yvonne Strahovski) attempted to murder his sister Deb (Jennifer Carpenter), Dex (Michael C. Hall) took decisive action after lab results from a water bottle he found in Deb's wreaked car showed the water to be 40% spiked with prescription medication that knocked Deb out while she was at the wheel of her car. He retrieved the poison pen that Hannah used to kill Sal Price, the 'true crime' writer, and turned it over to Deb so she could bring charges against Hannah for his murder. The episode closed on a solemn note with Hannah declaring as they cuffed her that Dex 'should've killed (her)'.

I have to say, I felt greatly relieved as Dexter was behaving entirely as I would think he would given the great closeness he has with Debra. I never questioned that he would 'choose' Deb over Hannah but it wasn't clear until it came to a matter of life and death. Interesting too, how Dex echoed Deb's own words about keeping company with Hannah: "You'll never be  safe."

The season would seem to be wrapped up save for one very important detail: Sgt. LaGuerta's (Lauren Velez) dogged determination to clear her former lover, cop, and Dexter nemesis, James Doakes (Erik King) of the moniker of having been the "Bay Harbor Butcher.' As we saw, she narrowed the possible suspects down to Dexter and despite finding evidence to the contrary which implicated Doakes (and which she correctly suggested Dexter could have planted) and assuring her former boss Tom Matthews (Geoff Pierson) that she would cease and desist,
she continues in the season finale at full steam ahead in her efforts to take Dexter down.

How far will she go? Are the promo photos and sneak peeks which indicate that Dexter is arrested real or are they a fantasty or recollection like this is?:

 

James Doakes (Erik King) appears in the season 7 finale of Dexter on Showtime December 16

And what about Hannah? She knows Dexter's big secret. He must have considered that she would tell the cops what she knows--and that, coupled with what LaGuerta thinks she knows would seem to be all that is needed to seal Dexter's fate.

Finally, what is Debra going to do? as Hannh rightly points our, debra is being selective in her pursuit of justice by arresting Hannah and but Allowing dexter to remain free? Will Deb's conscience get the better of her and will she free Hannah? This screen shot would seem to imply that something big happens as Hannah is out of shakles and outside Dexter's apartment!

Update: TVGuide Dexter SPOILER:

Q: Will Hannah turn in Dexter during the DEXTER finale?

A: That will be the big question of the hour. But Michael C. Hall says Dexter may come to regret turning her in for more than one reason. "I think he was open to a sense of possibility and open to a sense of a legitimate future in a way that he never has been before and that's not going to be an easy thing to dismiss," he says. "He believes that Hannah does love him and will keep his secret. He, if nothing else, believes she'll do it out of a sense of self-righteousness, that she was able to keep secrets in a way that he couldn't."

After meeting with Dal Adar and having an intense discussion with Estes, Saul is mysteriously pulled aside and questioned.

Homeland : 'A Few Questions' Sneak Peek VIDEO

Carrie questions the team responsible for clearing the tunnel.

When last we saw Carrie (Claire Danes) she had, with Brody's (Damian Lewis) assistance, escaped from Nazir (Navid Negahban), called for help and returned to the warehouse in which she was being held. Upon her return, she began a solo search for Nazir, unaware that black ops agent Quinn (Rupert Friend) and a terrorist capture team were about to storm the place--which is where we pick up in Sunday's episode.

It's going to be very interesting because for one thing, how is Carrie going to explain exactly, how she got away from Nazir--that her lover--Brody made a deal with Nazir to kill the Vice President? I just can't see that going over well--though I realize that patriot Carrie would have died before she would have consented to such a thing. RIP V.P. Walden--you were a slimy bastard but Jamey Sheridan did a great job making us hate you.

Nazir evaded capture and in this Sunday's episode we may find out if he will be caught or killed or both--the sneak peek implies that he gets away but sneak peeks can be sneaky that way, as I'm sure you've realized. All the more fun to discuss what we think is going to happen, right?

Speaking of happenings, Brody's wife Jessica (Morena Baccarrin) finally bedded her true love Mike (Diego Klattenhoff) while at the safehouse, explaining afterward that she felt no guilt. When Brody finally showed up, things were awkward but upon Mike's exit Jess and Brody appeared ready to discuss their situation frankly (they both desire people that are not their spouse). But inconveniently, Brody was called away by Nazir and the discussion was shelved. I think the marriage is kaput, though. There's just nothing left between them besides the kids, who are very aware of Mom and Dad's very unhappy marital situation.

This week too, the 'mole' problem which goes back to season one, is again picked up--by Carrie--who is convinced that the only way Nazir could have gotten away was if said mole helped him. I don't know. There was quite a time lapse between her escaping, running out to the highway, trying and failing several times to flag down someone to borrow a cellphone from, phoning the 'home office', and then making her way back to the huge warehouse. Why couldn't Nazir have just slipped away, possibly using his own terrorist connections? I am glad the mole issue is at least being addressed because it's not at all a small issue. I've heard rumblings that Saul (Mandy Patinkin) is the mole which I don't believe, that Estes (David Harewood) is--he, I could've believed the mole last season but this far into season 2, I'm thinking he's more an asshole than a mole. At this point, my best guess is 'Danny,' the guy that got caught in the gunfight along with Quinn and who last we heard had a 50-50 chance of recovering. He showed up in the last episode having left Walter Reed Hospital AMA, arm in a sling, saying he wanted to help find Carrie--but who knows.

There's just 2 more episodes, people. This season has gone by in a flash. I've really dug it--the characters and the great writing/high tension of every episode have solidified my state of being hooked on this show and I'll miss Homeland when it goes on hiatus. So glad it was renewed for a third season!

Dangerously close to exhaustion, Carrie continues her hunt for Nazir and begins to suspect there is a mole in the CIA. Roya reveals her true colours under interrogation and Saul finds himself fighting to save his career under unexpected circumstances. Meanwhile, the Brodys struggle to maintain anything close to a state of sanity.

Homeland TVLine Teaser:

To the surprise of some, Jessica recently “reconnected” (so to speak) with old flame Mike, and seems to have no regrets about it. “I think she is allowing herself to go there, not knowing what is going to happen – and that is OK,” Morena Baccarin told us of her character’s mindset. “She’s been depleted for so long in her relationship with Brody that she is just finally getting something for herself.” Though that something may seem newly messy now, with Brody appropriately suspicious of the rekindled affair, Baccarin promises that by the season finale airing Dec. 16, “There will be resolution” one way or another.

Deb Takes A Wrong Turn--and Takes Dexter with Her

Season 7 Dexter is really keeping me guessing as to where the "new Dexter," now sans his Dark Passenger, is headed. In this Sunday's episode, Debra zigs when she should've zagged, it's Christmastime in Miami and things for Dexter and Hannah continue to roll along nicely--until a large bump in the road threatens to derail their future together.

 DEXTER SEASON 7 – Episode 711 – “Do You See What I See?” Synopsis

As Christmas approaches, Dexter tries to balance his life with Hannah and his relationship with Debra, but unbeknownst to Dexter, Debra follows up on what could be an incriminating tip that Hannah’s father gave her. However, when Dexter learns that the man responsible for ordering his mother’s death has been released from prison, he zeros in for a kill that might end all kills.

TVGuide SPOILER Ahead!

Q: Wow, Dexter killed Hannah's father. What won't he do for her on Dexter?
A: He probably wouldn't look the other way if she tried to kill one of his family members — and considering that Deb is his only family, it should come as no surprise that Dexter will look askance when she gets into a very suspicious-looking car accident. Will he ever be able to have a future with Hannah now? On the bright side, Dexter will try to put the kibosh on LaGuerta and Matthews' investigation into the Bay Harbor Butcher — but that doesn't mean Maria has really given up.

 The photos do tell part of the story. The Dana and the son of-the-VP boyfriend hit-and-run story ties up--pretty straightforwardly but there's a glitch, as you can see in the promo photos. Things look pretty hunky-dory with daughter and dad (Damian Lewis) now that Dana (Morgan Saylor) has unburdened herself and she and dad are on their way to the local precinct to fill out an accident report/confess. But just then--our Ms. Mathison (Claire Danes) steps into the picture , which is not at all cool with Dana or her dad.

Synopsis - HOMELAND Episode 207 – “The Clearing”:

Reeling from the recent ambush, Carrie and team struggle to regain control of their operation, while Brody and family attend a tony fundraiser at a Virginia horse farm. Saul visits Aileen in solitary confinement, hoping she’ll provide key intelligence on this latest attack. Meanwhile, an anguished Dana pressures Finn to come clean about their hidden crime. But her quest to tell the truth will collide with her father’s secret mission in ways neither could have foreseen.
