HBO has released the official key poster art for True Blood‘s sixth season, premiering June 16 at 9 pm, and it’s an ominous sucker.

Bearing the tagline, “No One Lives Forever,” the image features a nondescript male vampire flashing his pearly, pointy whites while striking an unpleasant-looking pose.

Question: There are rumors that True Blood is going to kill off the gorgeous and sexy Eric Northam! Please tell me this isn’t true. 

Ausiello: I can neither confirm or deny the rumors, but I can offer you two pieces of evidence that suggest such a twist is in the realm of possibility. The first one comes care of Joe Manganiello, who tells TVLine, “We’re getting to the point in the season now where people are starting to die. The table reads are starting to get smaller, and I’m sure they will continue to do that.” Exhibit B, meanwhile, arrives in the form of Episode 7′s title — “The Funeral.”

'Nurse Jackie' Episode 507 - 'Teachable Moments' – Sneak Peeks (VIDEOS) Spoilers @SHO_Network #nursejackie

A cop has been shot and Nurse Jackie fears it is Frank:

Adam Ferrara as Frank, Edie Falco as Nurse Jackie and Anna Deavere Smith as Gloria Akalitus in 'Nurse Jackie' Episode 507 - 'Teachable Moments' (Cr: Showtime)

I've remarked upon it earlier in this stellar season 5 of Nurse Jackie but it bears repeating: Edie Falco as Jackie has smiled more, halfway through season 5 than she did during the entirety of seasons 1-4. I don't care if this sounds like fangirl gushing--she is so pretty when her face lights up. Beyond the surface happiness, there is plenty going on in Jackie's life--being in recovery is a key part of her life but so (still) are her kids, her job and the small circle of friends she has (all at work). She's divorced Kevin and she's dating a cop who genuinely likes her--a lot--and who is the reason for all the smiling. Will this match stick? Tune in to find out, Nurse Jackie fans!

Zoey hears Coop and Carrie having sex. Jackie worries about Frank.

NURSE JACKIE 507 Episode Description – “Teachable Moments” Akalitus forgets to hire an escort for a psych patient who ends up laying waste to the pharmacy. Eddie and Jackie, who have reached their limits with Akalitus’s forgetfulness, use this as an opportunity to run her blood. Zoey points out Prentiss’s terrible bedside manner, both with patients and other hospital staff. While transcribing dictation, Zoey hears Coop and Carrie having sex, unaware the machine was recording.

I think you are going to have a reaction anywhere from pleasantly surprised to shocked out of the comfort of your chair, at how incredible actors Merrit Wever and Morris Chestnut are in this scene (be sure to tune in Sunday night and watch it in its entirety).

SPOILER I would not have envisioned putting these two together as a couple, would you? But the chemistry between them is palpable. Kudos to the casting people and writers. Morris Chesnut as Dr. Prentiss is filling in a gap I hadn't even realized was there. He brings not only hunky good looks but loads of charisma buried beneath a tough-as-nail-exterior. He and Zoe do in fact 'do it'--with Zoe calling the shots!

'Game Of Thrones' - Episode 3.09 'The Rains of Castamere' SPOILERS (PHOTOS) (VIDEOS) #gameofthrones

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

Game Of Thrones - Episode 3.09 - 'The Rains of Castamere'. Here Jon (Kit Harington) makes a game-changing choice, one from which there is no going back. (Cr: HBO)

 

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?

After teasing us for months with frustratingly short sneak peeks at Dexter‘s upcoming eighth and final season, Showtime is finally giving us what we’ve been waiting for: the first full-length trailer! The following three-minute promo sheds disturbing new light on the mental and emotional breakdown Deb will suffer in the wake of LaGuerta’s murder. Cocaine binges? Check. Anonymous sex? Check. Prescription drug dependency? Check. DUI bust? Check. Full-on confession? Maybe check**...

SOURCE: TVLine

SPOILER ALERT

I disagree that they are teasing this early in the pre-season, Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) 'making a confession' to the police in light of the fact that we hear audio of a phone call between Dexter and Joey Quinn (Desmond Harrington) in which Quinn tells Dex that 'Your sister was brought in for a DUI last night.' Also, (most) screencaps don't lie: See below.

Here is Deb, getting stopped for the DUI: Notice the distinctive coloring on her coat sleeve.

I think Debra is in no shape to make a coherent statement; it is in fact one of many times, I'm guessing, that Deb will almost spill her dark secrets in this final season of Dexter.

Here Deb is in the same jacket....

Jackie tells Cruz last night was a mistake., but that’s not how he feels.

Prentiss dismisses Anthony, a young black boy, as a drug seeker, but Jackie orders a few tests.

When she checks on Louie, he frees himself of his restraints and pushes Jackie over.

The commotion triggers a reaction in Anthony, which Prentiss recognizes as PTSD.

Above is a lovely set of HQ photos of the Dexter Miami Metro set.

So what, if anything, can we gather as clues about Dexter's 8th and final season from these images?

Besides that the lights are on and no one appears to be home, we can see that Dexter has filmed at least through episode 806--halfway to the finish line! Also, we know that John Dahl is directing epsiode 806, which is titled 'A Little Reflection' and will air on Showtime on August 4, 2013.

Additionally, Dexter episode 806 was written by James Manos, Jr., who has worked in different capacities on both The Sopranos and The Shield as well as previously on Dexter.

According to IMDb, Dexter episode 806  has a guest cast that includes Dora Madison Burge as 'Niki', Sean Patrick Flanery as 'Jacob Elroy', Bethany Joy Lenz as 'Cassie', Charlotte Rampling as Dr. Evelyn Vogel, Yvonne Strahovski as Hannah McKay and Jadon Wells  as Dexter's newly cast son, Harrison Morgan.

And--that's all I've got. Feel free to drop a comment with your interpretation of this photo set!

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.

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.

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!

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).

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.

'True Blood' - Will Season 6 Mean the Death of Eric? (VIDEO) #truebloodS6 #waitingsucks

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.

 Nurse Jackie Season 5: Next on Episode 3 (VIDEO) Spoilers

Edie Falco is Nurse Jackie - Sunday nights on Showtime

Unsurprisingly, Edie Falco as Nurse Jackie has created a character every bit as memorable (and in some ways, more so) as she did previously on the premium cable mega-hit on the "not television" channel a few years ago.

Without hesitation, I can say that season 5 of Nurse Jackie is the most satisfying yet. It is not that the prior seasons were of a lower caliber--far from it--but this season feels really fresh--the tone has changed.

Despite Jackie working on her first year of sobriety, she is nowhere near 'done' getting sober. Her life is a mess--she's in the middle of a divorce and custody battle--with a pre-teen and a teenage daughter. Work at the hospital certainly isn't any less stressful, especially with the new intern (Betty Gilpin) who 'scares (Jackie) to death every time she gets near a patient." There's a (gorgeous) new chief (Morris Chestnut) to contend with as well, though Jackie seems to do so with elan. However, Gloria (Anna Deavere Smith) who has barely regained her administrative position after being demoted to nurse, is acting strangely forgetful and the new chief is quickly losing patience with her,

And now in episode 3, Jackie meets her future. Maybe.

Jackie and Kevin are back in mediation, signing papers for joint custody. After the meeting, Jackie rear ends Kevin and wakes up as a patient in her own ER. Kevin accuses her of using. Coop begins covering for Carrie and taking on a lot more work and more sparks fly. When Carrie checks on Jackie she writes her a script for Oxy, not knowing she’s an addict. Officer Frank Verelli comes to get Jackie’s statement. Jackie and Eddie argue over the terms of their relationship. Jackie takes Frank up on his offer and they go out for coffee. Frank takes her home in his cop car and asks her out on another date.

Yes, it's very meta.

True Blood Season 6 SPOILER Alert!

At the end of True Blood season 5, Ex.-Rev. Steve Newlin (Steve McMillian) was keeping Luna's (Janina Gavankar) daughter Emma as a pet, while Luna and Sam (Sam Trammell) were captive in vampire HQ. All hell was breaking out everywhere, inside and out of the HQ, so the ex-Rev. was enlisted to encourage his flock to chill via satellite televised signal.

Off-screen, Sam and Luna incapacitated Newlin and Luna did the very-bad-for-you, potentially lethal, shape-shift into a real person (become their twin) which, did I mention, was sometimes lethal, as it was for Sam's lil bro, Tommy?

Last we see of Sam and Luna, she has passed out (or died) from the effort of faking being Steve Newlin for the TV audience whilst all hell was breaking loose in vampire HQ on account of Lilith, now "Billith'.

Based on the fact that Alcide (Joe Manganiello) and his number 2 as well as grandma 'Martha' (Dale Dickey, see caps), are caring for little Emma, it would seem that Luna did not survive the season 5 finale.

Stephen Moyer (Bill Compton) directs an episode of True Blood season 6 (Credit: HBO)

 You may recognize the guy at top in the director's chair. That is Stephen Moyer, who co-stars on True Blood as vampire Bill Compton. Last we saw him was at the end of season 5 after he bought the hype about the ancient vampire 'Lilith', drank her blood, and went down the rabbit hole. Bill was at vampire central command, blood-encrusted, naked, and really, really angry and it appears that he's about to wreak the ultimate havoc--burn the place to the ground.

It would seem then that Sookie (Anna Paquin), who was at vamp HQ with Eric and 'Billith' when last we saw her, must have escaped to be able to confront Jason as he's about to put a wooden bullet through Eric's sister, Nora Gainesborough (Lucy Griffiths).

Jason (Ryan Kwanten) is still clad as he was when he and others infiltrated Vamp HQ. and others, humans,vampires and shifters, he was with have not yet had their "Waiting Sucks' teases yet. But, as we get closer to the June 16 premiere date of True Blood on HBO we should be able to put more pieces together beyond one of the first to be looked at: How much time has elapsed since the last scene of season 5?

From the shots we've seen thus far of the True Blood season 6 cast, we are picking up right where we left off.

If you're gonna put a bullet through Eric's sister's chest, it's going through me first. - Sookie to Jason in re: Nora

Dexter (Michael C. Hall), only weeks after Deb (Jennifer Carpenter) murdered LaGuerta to prevent  her from turning him in, seems completely oblivious to the tumult that Deb is experiencing.

Dexter Season 8 - Miami Metro's best? (Credit: Showtime-access-tumblr-com)

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.

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.

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.

Since Dexter has been murdering people for 20 years, he's able to glide smothly past Maria LaGuerta's death by Deb's bullet (after Deb was forced by Maria-- to chose betweem Maria and Dexter).

Deb, never the picture of emotionally stability,  has something to process or 'live with' for the rest of her life and she must reconcile herself with it, fully which the latest season 8 shots seem to imply that she's not as indicated on a recent DEXTER post on this blog.

Dexter has fallen from revered older brother to sociopath older bro with whom and because of whom, Debra has jeopardized her career/her life.

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.

Debut: SUNDAY, APRIL 14 (9:00-10:00 p.m.)

Tyrion shoulders new responsibilities. Jon (Kit Harington) is taken to the Fist of the First Men. Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) meets with the slavers. Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) strikes a deal with his captors. Written for television by David Benioff & D. B. Weiss; directed by David Benioff.

Game Of Thrones, Dark Wings, Dark Words (Episode 3.02) Review

I liked this episode more than the GoT season 3 premiere. It had more fluidity, moved more quickly, and featured characters that were sorely missed in episode one: Jaime, Brienne, and Arya. Also, it caught us up Bran and Co. and introduced us to two new, very intriguing characters who join him on his long journey.

I felt like there was too much King's Landing last week and just enough this week with the much-lauded scene with Dame Diana Rigg's Matriarch, Olenna Tyrell and Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) as well as queen-to-be Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) playing pitch perfectly to the way it as written in book #3. It will be fun to see the Tyrell's story un-spool.

I don't know why exactly because I used to enjoy her, but I'm really tiring of of Queen Regent Cersei's (Lena Headey) sneer. She really seems a one-note character in the television adaption and though snarky-witty (snitty?) at times, she comes across as her bratty-sadist son the King pointed out in this episode and her hated brother Tyrion pointed out in the last, rather lacking in any real abilities. Sort of predictable and ho-hum.

Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Brienne (Gwendoline Christie) were entertaining, though Brienne showed her naivete allowing Jaime to take her sword. Their extended sword fight in plain sight on a cross-bridge looks as if it will have disastrous consequences.

Very little happened in Jon Snow's (Kit Harington) segment. He met a warg--a human that can see through a non-human's eyes--for the first time--that was about it. Speaking of wargs, we found that Jon's half-brother Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright), who is trekking to the Wall in search of Jon, is himself a warg as is his new companion Jojen Reed (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) who is accompanied and protected by his older sister, Meera Reed (Ellie Kendrick).

My eyes are glazing over too when the mother-son duo of Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) and Robb Stark (Richard Madden) are onscreen. They are as big of sourpusses as Charles Dance's Tywin Lannister but he is way more interesting. Robb pouts and stomps around and Cateyln frets and grieves--there is zero levity ever to their scenes and it is tiresome. Robb marrying Talisa (Oona Chaplin) in an uncharacteristic moment of thoughtless, spontaneous indulgence last season has given us a character that is just sort of hanging around as a plot device.

Finally, we found out what became of turn-cloak Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen)--he's in a very-very dark place.

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.

'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).

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?

Justin Chatwin as Jimmy & Emmy Rossum as Fiona in Shameless Episode 3.11 (Cr: Showtime)

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.

Are You Ready for Game Of Thrones Season 3?

Rose Leslie as Ygritte in Game Of Thrones Season 3 (Credit: EW)

You may think you know how brutal HBO’s beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy Game of Thrones can get, but to paraphrase Wildling temptress Ygritte: “You know nothing about season 3.” Based on roughly the first half of the third novel in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series,  A Storm of Swords, this season continues the epic story of rival families vying for power in a fantasy kingdom where winter and summer last for years. It includes some of the most rousing  moments of triumph in the saga’s five-book (so far) histroy — as well as its most bloody casualties. ...“Emotionally, this season really goes for the jugular,” Thrones executive story editor Bryan Cogman tells Entertainment Weekly in this week’s issue. “In some cases, quite literally.”...

Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss are reluctant to raise expectations any higher, but are optimistic...One particular “Scene Which Shall Not Be Named,” as Benioff called it, left the Thrones team devastated. “I’ve never seen the crew so emotional,” Benioff says. “If the scene has that effect on the people making it who know what’s coming, if they’re that overpowered, I think it’s going to have an overwhelming effect on people watching it.” (cont.)

This season, the Lannister family backstabbing is ratcheted to a new level now that Lord Tywin (Charles Dance) has returned to King’s Landing. Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) struggles to purchase a merciless eunuch army. Kingslayer Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) attempts to escape the confinement of his noble escort Brienne (Gwendoline Christie). Jon Snow (Kit Harington) infiltrates the rival Wildling camp led by Mance Rayder (Ciarán Hinds), while the mesmerizing Ygritte (Rose Leslie) tries to melt Jon Snow’s heart.

HBO's Season 3 adaption of Game of Thrones is one that has long been anticipated by fans of the George R.R. Martin epic fantasy series "A Song Of Ice & Fire."

Based on parts of book 3, this season some of the most compelling characters get into some of the most memorable situations of the entire series thus far.

Diana Rigg as Lady Oleanna (Cr: EW)

Diana Rigg will play a character that stood out for her extreme directness, her lack of desire to suffer fools and her ability to scheme. It should be an absolute joy to see Rigg take on the pivotal role of Lady Oleanna Tyrell.

GAME OF THRONES RETURNS FOR THIRD SEASON MARCH 31

As Blackwater Bay cools, the victors consolidate their power and rebuild King’s Landing. But new challengers for the Iron Throne rise from the most unexpected places. Characters old and new must navigate the demands of family, honor, ambition, love and – above all – survival, as the Westeros civil war rages into autumn.
Based on the bestselling fantasy book series by George R.R. Martin, GAME OF THRONES is an epic story of treachery and nobility set on the continent of Westeros, where summers and winters can last years, and only the lust for power is eternal. The Emmy®- and Golden Globe-winning series returns for its ten-episode third season SUNDAY, MARCH 31 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO, followed by other episodes on subsequent Sundays at the same time.

As season three begins, the Lannisters hold absolute dominion over King’s Landing after repelling Stannis Baratheon’s forces. Yet Robb Stark, King in the North, still controls much of the South as well, and has yet to lose a battle. In the Far North, Mance Rayder has united the wildlings into the largest army Westeros has ever seen. Only the Night’s Watch stands between him and the Seven Kingdoms, but nobody knows what happened to its Lord Commander and the force he led beyond the Wall.

Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen – reunited with her three growing dragons – ventures into Slaver’s Bay in search of ships to take her home and allies to conquer it.

Returning series regulars on GAME OF THRONES this season include: Emmy® and Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), Michelle Fairley (Catelyn Stark), Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister), Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister), Aidan Gillen (Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish), Iain Glen (Jorah Mormont), Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Richard Madden (Robb Stark), Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister), Maisie Williams (Arya Stark), Isaac Hempstead Wright (Bran Stark), Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) and Jack Gleeson (Joffrey Baratheon).

Additional returning series regulars this season include: Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy), Jerome Flynn (Bronn), Rory McCann (Sandor “The Hound” Clegane), Conleth Hill (Varys), John Bradley (Samwell Tarly), Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth), James Cosmo (Commander Jeor Mormont), Stephen Dillane (Stannis Baratheon), Carice van Houten (Melisandre), Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth), Sibel Kekilli (Shae), Rose Leslie (Ygritte) and Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell).

Returning recurring cast members on GAME OF THRONES this season include: Natalia Tena (Osha), Joe Dempsie (Gendry), Oona Chaplin (Talisa Maegyr Stark), Julian Glover (Maester Pycelle), Kristian Nairn (Hodor), Finn Jones (Loras Tyrell), Esmé Bianco (Ros), Gemma Whelen (Yara Greyjoy), Hannah Murray (Gilly) and Art Parkinson (Rickon Stark).

New cast members for the third season include: Ciarán Hinds (Mance Rayder), Diana Rigg (Lady Olenna Tyrell), Mackenzie Crook (Orell), Clive Russell (Brynden “The Blackfish” Tully), Nathalie Emannuel (Missandei), Kerry Ingram (Shireen Baratheon), Paul Kaye (Thoros of Myr), Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Jojen Reed), Ellie Kendrick (Meera Reed), Richard Dormer (Beric Dondarrion), Kristofer Hivju (Tormund Giantsbane), Philip McGinley (Anguy), Tara Fitzgerald (Selyse Baratheon), Tobias Menzies (Edmure Tully), Anton Lesser (Qyburn), Ian McElhinney (Barristan Selmy), Michael McElhatton (Roose Bolton) and Noah Taylor (Locke).


Episode #21: “Valar Dohaeris”
Debut: SUNDAY, MARCH 31 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT)

Jon is brought before Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall, while the Night’s Watch survivors retreat south. In King’s Landing, Tyrion asks for his reward. Littlefinger offers Sansa a way out. Cersei hosts a dinner for the royal family. Daenerys sails into Slaver’s Bay.

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.

The images are part of an exhibit that opened Friday, timed to the start of the South by Southwest film festival. Below are 10 original pieces from the exhibit. If you want to buy the first one, however, you have to pay the Iron Price — $15,000 for an oil painting that includes several of the Thrones-verse fan-favorite characters. The rest are more modestly priced.

Below are the first two posters in a series of eight creative images that will be unveiled starting today at the gallery’s new Thrones event. Mondo, the collectible art division of Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, is launching the poster series on the first day of the South by Southwest music/film/interactive conference, which is seeing an increased TV industry presence this year (Showtime, NBC, The CW, A&E, Bravo and USA are among the networks with events planned).

Mondo and Thrones previous teamed for a poster series at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con. “...The gallery event will also debut the official Game of Thrones beer — Iron Throne, “a delicate, but piercing Golden Blonde Ale with Noble hops, a nod to having a Lannister currently on the Throne.”

CALIFORNICATION – 608 – “Everybody’s a Fucking Critic”

The reviews are in for the first draft of A Crazy Little Thing Called Love: The Musical. Hank (DAVID DUCHOVNY) looks for inspiration from Faith (MAGGIE GRACE) to help get him to the next level. Hank’s constructive criticism leads Becca (MADELEINE MARTIN) contemplating alternate careers.

(CR: Showtime)

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.

Frank prepares for his court appearance by getting sober and attending AA meetings. When he learns of Fiona’s new custody plan, he challenges her in court to maintain his parental rights. Though she is forced to share rights with Frank, Fiona is ultimately granted guardianship leaving Jimmy to wonder what that will mean for their future.

Timmy Wong and his mother arrive to take Hymie. Sheila stages an intervention to curb Jody’s sex addiction. Karen returns. And Lip learns another will has already been filed with the court. (Credit: Showtime)

'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.

Shameless  'Cascading Failures' - The Gallagher kids are removed from their home & placed in foster care--can Fiona get them back?

Jeremy Allen White, Cameron Monaghan & Emmy Rossum in SHAMELESS Episode 3.06 – “Cascading Failures” (Cr: Showtime)

Though the Gallagher's have spoken not-quite-fondly of their previous encounters with the child welfare system, Shameless episode  3.06 – “Cascading Failures,” is the first time we see them removed and placed in emergency foster care. Unfortunately, Lip and Ian end up in a high risk-prison-like environment and Debs get tossed into an overfull house, where she is expected to keep her head down and stay busy doing childcare and clean-up for the 'lady' of the house. Meanwhile, Carl and baby Liam land in an upscale bi-racial gay couple's home which would be nice--except they are dead set on adopting Liam!

In Kevin and Veronica news, this episode brings forth the most outrageous sex scene that you've ever seen them in and if you know Kev and V, you know that means it will be beyond bizarre!

With their mother Monica nowhere to be found, Fiona is forced to track down Frank and get him to make a 'Father of the Year' appearance in court.

Meanwhile, Kev and Veronica recruit V's mother as a surrogate and Mandy & Mickey's father, Terry catches Mickey and Ian in a compromising situation.

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.

(Featuring Petyr Baelish (Aidan Gillen) as the narrator.)

"Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder.
Many who try to climb it fail, never get to try again. The fall breaks them.
And some given the chance to climb, they cling to the realm, or the gods, or love.
Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is."

It is explained in the GoT: Intensity Of Iceland video, that there is only about 5 hours of light in which to shoot each day which adds to the many other challenges of creating Game Of Thrones in Iceland. Everyone seems to have great attitude about it, though. Wonder if anyone ended up with frostbite? It sure looks like a distinct possibility!

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.

 Win this Californication Key poster art!**

 

Californication episode 6.03 'Dead Rock Stars' with Steve Jones, Maggie Grace, Tim Minchin & David Duchovny. this is an incredibly amusing scene.

If you, like me, have been following the on again/off again romance (mostly off) of Californication's Hank (David Duchovny) and Karen (Natascha McElhone) then by the season 5 finale you may have been getting your hopes up that finally the two might have a chance at a lasting reunification.

Since by now you've watched the first episode of Californication season 6 (and maybe even the second episode if you watch new episodes of CALIFORNICATION on Mondays a week early on Showtime On Demand and Showtime Anytime: http://youtu.be/i1UGP0meZZI) you know that that wish pretty much went the route of dear, demented Carrie (last seen on life-support).

I wish I could tell you it will get better but alas, it gets much worse, albeit in a very entertaining way.

By episode 3, Hank is discovered by Karen, half-naked and passed out with many other people of both sexes in a room filled with every element you would expect of wild debauchery. Rehab for Hank = epic fail. But don't lose hope as great opportunities are awaiting Hank--he just needs to get used to the notion of his book being turned into a rock opera on Broadway.

Showtime surprises with 'Dexter' early return as lead-in to 'Ray Donovan' @SHO_Dexter @SHO_Kareem

 

Michael C. Hall in Dexter (Cr: Showtime)

Surprise, mother f**ker!
Dexter Returns for Season 8 in June!

This is one I didn't see coming, but according to Showtime boss David Nevins' announcement at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour, the hit drama will debut three months earlier than usual on Sunday, June 30 at 9/8c, where it will lead into a brand new Showtime original drama.

Dexter and Ray Donovan Summer 2013

The return of Dexter and the premiere of Ray Donovan Sunday, June 30th only on Showtime.

Check out this NEW Video (above) that catches you up with Dexter's NEW schedule as well as the Liev Schreiber vehicle, 'Ray Donovan.'

Liev Schreiber in 'Ray Donovan' (Cr: Showtime)

The Showtime hit is moving to summer for what could be its final season. Dexter season 8 will debut June 30 at 9 p.m. to serve as a lead-in for Showtime’s new series Ray Donovan, which stars Liev Schreiber as a professional “fixer” for the rich and famous.

Showtime's entertainment president assures that the Dexter team will still have plenty of time to create a strong season. “They had a lot of advance warning [that this was happening] and they know where they’re going,” he said. “No less production time; a little less vacation time.”

Dates released for more NEW and returning Showtime Original Programming:

In addition to the big news that Dexter fans have only to wait five more months for season 8 to commence, Nevins announced that Showtime's Golden Globe & Emmy award-winning thriller Homeland, will return for its third season Sept. 29 and will be paired with the new Masters and Johnson period drama Masters of Sex.

More 2013 dates from Showtime: Shameless, House of Lies and Californication premiered on Sunday, January 13; Nurse Jackie and The Borgias April 14; The Big C: Hereafter will conclude the series starting April 29. Web Therapy will be on sometime this summer. Episodes will return early 2014. Here’s a video preview of Ray Donovan and Masters:
