SPOILER for episode 208. Watch the screencaps slideshow carefully. You'll see 'someone' accompany one of the series' co-stars in a vehicle to a remote location where the two are met by a scarily familar face.  They 'fly away' and when landed, in the closing moments of this extremely high-tension episode, a familiar voice with 'the wrong face' greets them. It's truly a holy sh*t moment in a season that has been brim full of them!

HOMELAND Episode 208 – “I’ll Fly Away”

He lies for Carrie. He lies for Roya. And he’s still lying to Jessica. Brody’s heading for a serious meltdown as he struggles to keep complicated alliances clear. Against Quinn’s orders, Carrie stages a risky intervention to keep Brody in line, forcing both of them to confront their mixed emotions. And as Dana turns to an unlikely source for comfort, her father comes face to face with his deadly past.

“I do feel used and played and lied to,” replied a rather breathless Brody, hugging, smooching, squeezing. “I also feel good. Two minutes with you and I feel good. How do you do that?”

Spoiler!!! Dexter is totally about to kill the guy in the photo!

But he's just a truly random (bad) guy so I feel OK about telling you that what is happening in the photo is exactly what's is going down in a mere second after you hit the 'play' button, if you chose to  pause during this scene as you view it.

Dexter 7x08 Promo "Argentina" (HD) VIDEO:

Let's see what else can I tell you but not truly spoil.

Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) finally comes clean to Dex about her (pre-catching him serial killing in the church) feelings about him, albeit in a way that I wouldn't have chosen. I thought it a bit too much of a stretch too soon after finding out sibling Dexter is a serial killer, to get all wrapped up in how appropriate Deb's feelings for her 'in-name-only' brother. (They were foster kids in the same foster family.) I get how they only have one another and she was very dependent and looked up to him all her life--that there would be sibling 'love'--but even off-screen, this stuff sometimes happens.

Dexter has a definitive reaction to the news which will complicate/probably kill any future love affair potential.<exhale>

If you are reasonably good at putting a basic puzzle together, after watching the promo for HOMELAND episode 206, 'A Gettysburg Address,' you are going to be 90% sure of what is going to happen. It was my good fortune to have had no forewarning whosoever and when "it" happened, I literally gasped, said something I won't repeat here and then gasped again. I did not see it coming.  However, if you want to enjoy the episode unspoiled, I'm going to do something I've never done before: encourage you to NOT watch the Homeland 206 promo video. Instead, watch the sneak peeks because though entertaining, they really tell you nothing of significance, but if you really want to be jolted out of your chair do not watch the promo. Enjoy the episode however which airs this Sunday night. It is yet another game changer--and that ain't no hype.

SYNOPSIS: DEXTER SEASON 7 – “Do the Wrong Thing” Episode 706  Dexter becomes more intrigued by Hannah, while Debra gets to know local crime writer Sal Price, who has dug up some possibly incriminating dirt on Hannah. Quinn gets made an offer he tries to refuse, while Batista is drawn to a new business opportunity. And try as Debra might, she can’t stop LaGuerta from upending the Bay Harbor Butcher case…

TEN SPOILERS ABOUT DEXTER “Do the Wrong Thing” Episode 706:

• Dexter tables his next victim and uses an unusual weapon to do his work
• Batista dines alfresco and considers making it a habit
• Dexter gets a lesson in horticulture
• Deb again helps Dexter 'get away with murder'
• Heart disease is on the rise
• Joey is made an offer he cannot refuse
• Issak twists an arm to secure his position in prison
• Two of Miami's finest tamper with evidence
• Joey has an unwelcome dinner guest
• George must find a way to free Issak from prison

Whichever side you come down on with the storyline developing with Dexter and Hannah, be prepared for some wicked twists and turns. I've heard rumor that Yvonne Strahovski, who plays Hannah McKay may be signing on for Dexter's final season--which is next season (8). That makes me quite conflicted because as much as I'm warming up to--or at least intrigued by the character, I'm fervently hoping she won't be taking the place of someone like say, Dexter's sister (Jennifer Carpenter). Carpenter has given a tour de force performance this season, hands down her best one yet and I would hate, hate, hate if this were to be her last season. I guess it all remains to be seen. Gotta be patient and see where the bloody chips fall and remember that nothing official has been announced (yet). Gah.

Homeland - Episode 205 - Who's The Crazy Person Now? @SHO_Homeland @SHO_Kareem

Has Brody reached the end of his tenuous grip?

 

Damian Lewis as 'Brody' in Homeland - Episode 205 on Showtime Sunday Oct 28 (Credit: Showtime)

As David Harewood, who plays David Estes in HOMELAND succinctly puts it in the 'Debrief' video extra below, '(Homeland) is a show where you never know what is going to happen next.'

If you saw last week's crazy-great episode you know exactly what he's talking about (and I so agree with him!)

As soon as an episode becomes available I jump right on it. Homeland is literally my very favourite show on television right now.

Homeland : Debrief: New Car Smell  (VIDEO):

The cast discuss the climatic ending of episode 4.

I cannot recall the last time a television show--a political thriller at that, literally made me gasp in shock at what transpired onscreen. And I'm not talking the mind-bending capture of Brody at the end of the last episode. Oh no, there is so much more to come and yet as Morena Baccarin ('Jessica') says in the "debrief' video, "You think to yourself, if Brody gets taken down it's the end of the show--but of course, it's not--it sets up episode 5 and we get to see what happens when Brody is taken in and which way he's gonna go.'

So what do you think is going to happen to Brody? Will he cooperate? Will he break? Will the CIA use as brutal tactics as Abu Nazir did when he captured Brody? So many questions!

 

This Sunday's episode of HOMELAND is called Q & A. Here's the synopsis as well as links to two enticing sneak peeks--or if you prefer, just after the jump I've embedded the sneak peeks right here in this post. Enjoy!

Homeland 204 Promo - Sneak Peek 'New Car Smell' VIDEO @SHO_Homeland @SHO_Kareem

 

HOMELAND Episode 204 'New Car Smell ' Carrie Matheson (Claire Danes)

Though Homeland season 2 was great from the first episode, we are just now getting into to some really heavy stuff. If you thought Homeland episode 3 was intense then buckle in because things are about to get more Topsy-turvy in episode 204. And if you think that HOMELAND might take a breather for episode 205, forget it. It gets even more crazy-compelling. Like the best political thrillers, Homeland hooks you in, starting with its complex, conflicted characters. From as low as you think one might go then flipping and soaring to great highs the characters are bounding all over the place emotionally, psychologically, it's pretty wild. It's not lost on me that the tone of the show can seem to echo Carrie's illness, 'bipolar disorder.' Since Carrie is seemingly complying with her meds, its seems OK if Homeland itself takes us for a wild ride. All I can say is there is some heavy stuff coming up. It's a constant, crazy rush from episodes 3-5 (and maybe beyond, it wouldn't surprise me.)

Homeland Episode 2.0 - 'He Made A Tape' VIDEO:

Saul arrives at Este's home with some intriguing evidence.

 (Above: "the tape")

I love how Mandy Patinkin (above), as many people of a certain age would, refers to the digital recording as 'a tape'. It gives HOMELAND an authentic feel from smaller bits like this one to the real relationship that is present when Patinkin ('Saul,' Carrie's handler) is on-screen with 'Carrie' (Claire Danes).

I like too in this scene that Estes (David Harewood), who has just hear about the biggest piece of information he could ever get, does not lose his cool, or cede an authority to Saul. He instead insists on continuing to run things despite how not-great he's done on the whole Abu Nazir thing thus far.

SYNOPSIS HOMELAND  Episode 204:

 Homeland : A Lot of Eyes Sneak Peek VIDEO:

Carrie and Saul keep a watch on Brody.

HOMELAND Episode 204 – “New Car Smell” Following a secret debrief from Saul, a stunned Estes authorizes a covert operation to pursue intel recovered in Beirut–but not without putting his own trusted operative in charge. Brody, still reeling from his misadventures with the bombmaker, gets another shock when he runs into Carrie at Langley. A casual invitation to bury the hatchet turns into an encounter neither of them could have foreseen. And Dana discovers she has something in common with Finn Walden, the Vice President’s son.

NEW! Dexter 704 Promo VIDEO Update! Dexter 704 BTS Video - Yvonne Strahovski Vid Preview (SPOILERS) @SHO_Dexter @SHO_Kareem

Yvonne Strahovski joins Dexter as 'woman-with-past, "Hannah McKay"

Dexter: Warning! The stakes just got higher... again

Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) warns Dexter (Michael C. Hall) that if he continues with his 'life choices' 'bad shit' is going to find him and Harrison. She pleads with Dex to consider sending Harrison to be raised by Rita's parents with his half sibs, Aster & Cody. Dexter strongly resists the idea, arguing that he--Dexter can best raise and protect his son, no one else. It's fun to watch Debra go through stages of gaining some slight acceptance of the knowlege that her brother is a serial killer and then swings all the way to 'no way in hell' can she allow Dexter to kill one more person. Despite her shifting feelings she will ultimately pick a side but she cannot ever feel good about it.

Spoiler hint for episode 704 Dexter 'Run.'

Dexter gives up something precious in this episode.

I am an episode ahead in viewing Dexter and am really intrigued by the Dex/Hannah budding relationship. Something totally inverted from what I expected happened involving the two. It really was executed nicely, turning some rather plot-heavy tables on one of them.

Hannah is 'off' somehow. Her affect is...wooden. Now she speaks of 'rumour' that Dexter was the last person to speak to Wayne before his suidice by Mack truck. Why does she care, given especially what Wayne had told Dexter-- that Hannah wanted nothing to do with him? Strange. Why does she wish to know his last words and re-live something she said she was 'trying to put behind' her?

Homeland : Bipolarity (VIDEO):

Writer and Consulting Producer Meredith Stiehm discusses writing a bipolar character.

An important part of the reason that HOMELAND resonates with people is the harrowingly realistic portrayal by Claire Danes of Carrie Mathison, a woman afflicted with the oft-misunderstood bipolar disorder. Instead of the 'disease of the week-type' of treatment that viewers are so used to seeing in  television drama, Homeland has chosen, with the input of people including Writer and Consulting Producer Meredith Stiehm (see video interview above), to integrate having bipolar disorder as a very important component of what makes Danes' former CIA agent seem authentic and even relatable. I really do think that is part of why audiences have taken to her character so deeply.

I excerpted an article after the jump which further expands upon how "Carrie's" affliction serves to make her character perhaps the most identifiable for many viewers. It all comes down IMO, to the creatives behind the show including Ms. Danes, taking their character's disease very seriously--not glossing over it nor amping it up above what is believable. It works to serve the story in such a compelling & compassionate way.

BTW, Homeland episode 3 is the one that I 'warned' you about. Your mind will be blown. I can't say any more without spoiling it but I will say it is definitely worth watching more than once!

Thus far this season, DEXTER has felt reenergized and this week's episode (7.03, "Buck The System") continues with the same great feeling that the show is fired up on all cylinders and burning brightly.

As a long-time Dexter fan, I'm thrilled with the powerhouse performances of Jennifer Carpenter as the now severely distressed Debra alongside the quiet intensity of Michael C. Hall in the title role as serial killer Dexter. In addition, the supporting cast seems to have caught hold of the same energy boost as they each seem to have found their groove for season 7.

The guest stars are intriguing and/or truly menacing and with the addition this week of the lovely Yvonne Strahovski as 'Hannah McKay' and in episodes to come (scroll down for synopses of upcoming episodes that give us some idea of where she'll fit in the the over-arching storyline), it appears the pieces are in place for a memorable season 7!

Dexter Season 7 First Impression Mini Review:

The new season of Dexter feels like another 'Trinity' or season 1 or  two. Very brisk, the acting is primo (as always) as actors who seemed underused are getting more screen time doing pretty cool, interesting things. All-in-all Season 7 offers us a genuinely re-energized Dexter.

Oh yeah.

Dexter is now talking to Deb about his 'Dark Passenger!'

Jennifer Carpenter and Michael C. Hall in Dexter, premiering on Showtime Sunday Sept. 30 (Credit: Showtime)

Just hearing those words tumbling from his mouth, rather than his thoughts via Michael C. Hall's ubiquitous (and exceptionally listenable) voice-over is weirdly creepy. Jennifer Carpenter is being given some serious screen time as Dex's sister Debra, grappling yet again with some seriously fucked-up shit. The most serious ever, to be precise.

Part of Deb's and Dex's world's have just ceased to exist. Deb screams at Dex after yet another gut-wrenching revelation by him, 'I will never be OK!' In fact, in the first couple days in the aftermath of Deb's discovery of Dexter's murderous streak, Deb remarks to him that Dex 'is a sick fuck,' and that she 'almost turned (him) in this morning.' Dex is a very unhappy camper and Deb is barely keeping it together in a mission to save her brother.

Deb is discovering one horrifying thing after the next and she's only seen Dex in action once. What happens if she 'breaks' (so to speak) and turns him in? This question is one of many surely plaguing Dexter as we begin season 7.

Dexter : Angel Batista VIDEO:   DEXTER SEASON 7 – “Are You…?” Episode 701 Written by Scott Buck, Directed by John Dahl Reeling from Debra witnessing Dexter kill Travis Marshall, brother and sister attempt to reconcile while struggling to cover up their involvement with the murder. Meanwhile, Detective Mike Anderson has an unfortunate run-in, Quinn and Batista begin to make amends, and LaGuerta finds evidence that causes her to re-think the closed Bay Harbor Butcher Case, which could mean trouble for Dexter – and Debra…     After the jump: Bonus!

DEXTER (Episode 7.01) ... My Brother's a Serial Killer?! (Non-spoiler Recap) @SHO_Dexter @SHO_Kareem

Credit: Showtime  7.01 - SPOILERS - I think this photo is symbolic of no matter how awful this is going to be, the siblings will get through it.  Like the saying, ' The ony way out is through'.

Both Deb and Dex seperately still have their own pretty huge issues besides this one that just ran over them both. The 'other stuff' has bound them to one another thus far. It still needs to 'evolve'. I'll bet Deb's Q's about Dex just all completely changed! 'Am I in love with him? Fuck that!--Should I put him in handcuffs!?'

Michael C.Hall in Season 5 DEXTER on Showtime (Key Art Credit: Showtime)

I watched Dexter episode 7.01 for the first time today(!) My post **May contain unintentional spoilers**.  I assume you read the message boards so nothing really new here except for the impressions Dexter season 7's debut episode left for me.

Debra's (Jennifer Carpenter) is grappling  in an attempt at processing witnessing brother Dexter (Michael C. Hall) in the act of a serial killer-style execution at an open crime scene--the abandoned church of season 6.

(I hope they got Prof. Gellar's (Edward J.Olmos) basement deep-freezed corpse out before Dexter & Deb torched the abandoned, barn-like church place).

Some viewers have expressed, during this seeemingly endless hiatus, the opinion that Deb 'should have known ' Dexter's true nature.

Maybe.

Paying attention to these another flashbacks featuring Harry Morgan (James Remar) and Dexter & Deb as kids and their Mom! it's apparent Harry believed Dexter a monster even as a preadolescent--tho' a monster he loved/was responsible for--but could Harry have done things differently and had Dexter not grow up to be a serial killer? Dexter has pondered these very questions. Will Deb too when Dexter gives her the 411 on Harry Morgan?

The episode 7.01 flashbacks do show us how ineffective Dexter's mom was at changing 'Harry's way' of raising Dexter. 'Allergic to dogs' is a good one. 'Allergic' to all small creatures would be Harry's more complete comment--tho' young Dexter seems to disagree.

Maybe the part of Dexter's true nature--one of which is 'to never get caught', has until now been more sharp than Debra's. Debra is behind the curve on Dexter in the understanding the mind of a serial killer, but as the show has let Debra play out her arc as sister-of-Dexter it is only realistic that she shoudl catch on and that going into the last couple seasons she woud discover his big secret and  their new reality unfolds, because for this couple, for Dexter and Deb to 'make it past this', they have to come to an understanding of one another. Long road ahead. Should be fun (and probably quite deadly)!

Watch the video via Homeland's site, and read a little interview with star/Emmy nominee Claire Danes over at The Hollywood Reporter.

 

In preparation for the Sept. 30 return of Homeland, Showtime has posted the first 20 minutes of the new season online. The series that stars Claire Danes, Damian Lewis and Mandy Patinkin — which averaged 4.4 million weekly viewers and earned nine Emmy nominations — focuses on an unhinged CIA officer and a very suspicious prisoner of war.

It's funny that this snap looks like a scene out of Homeland which I suppose is not at that far-fetched. The main difference I think is that 'Brody' (Damian Lewis) would be clean-shaven.

It's generally exciting enough to find out that the President of the United States has seen -- let alone is a fan of -- your work, which is something President Obama has openly admitted on numerous occasions. To get invited to attend a State Dinner at the White House? Even better. And then, on top of all that, there was the location of his place card.

"It was made more remarkable by the fact that as I was walking down with my wife to go and sit at the table, assuming I’d be by the toilets," Lewis laughed, as he spoke with The Hollywood Reporter at the New York City premiere of his show's second season. Instead, he said, "I sat opposite the president himself, at his table, next to Mr. Warren Buffett. And so it became an even more surreal, out-of-body experience."

WEEDS 100th Episode - Nancy & Co. Take a Trip to 'Regrestic' - VIDEO - Sneak Peeks @SHO_Kareem @SHO_Weeds

In Episode 8.11 of Weeds (Sunday on Showtime) Nancy's reunion with Guillermo gets off to a rough start.

In WEEDS on Showtime's 100th episode/series' penultimate installment, airing Sun. Sept. 9, the Botwins are returning to their hometown of Agrestic, California (though it's been re-named Regrestic) and meeting up with some familiar faces from seasons' past. The face with by far the most face time is Conrad Shepard, the beloved pot grower played by fan favourite Romany Malco from Seasons 1 through 3, who has returned to Showtime's departing comedy.

In the preview clip (below), Nancy works her charms on Conrad at a dance class and asks him to grow MILF weed for her again. She shows him a picture of land she's purchased in the area and tells him she's already gotten the paperwork to make it a legal operation.

There's only one problem, which Conrad clues her in to: The land is in gang territory, controlled by the recently-released-from-prison Guillermo Gomez Díaz (Guillermo Diaz), who threatened to kill Nancy before she became pregnant with his boss' Esteban's child.

In a tense confrontation with guns-drawn, the two sides attempt to hash out their differences.

 

Alexander Gould as 'Shane Botwin', Nancy's youngest son, has not interacted very much at all with his family this season. He is however holding his own in the side-story of good cop/bad cop and his choices about where he himself falls.

WEEDS (Season 8) – “God Willing And The Creek Don’t Rise” – (Episode 8.11) Plot Synopsis (100th Episode):

Nancy (MARY-LOUISE PARKER), Andy (JUSTIN KIRK), and Silas (HUNTER PARRISH) take a trip. Shane (ALEXANDER GOULD) is busted for stealing property off the impound lot. Meanwhile, Doug (KEVIN NEALON) gives up on his charity and decides to pursue a bigger, more lucrative scheme.

Weeds Episode 8.10 - Sneak Peek - Is Nancy Kosher? (VIDEO) @SHO_Weeds @SHO_Kareem #weeds

'Do I look Kosher?' Hunter Parrish as 'Silas' & Mary-Louise Parker as 'Nancy' on episode 8.10 of Weeds on Showtime (Credit: Showtime)

Ever since she recovered from taking a bullet to the noggin', Nancy has been doing a kind of push me-pull you dance--with herself. As she told Rabbi Dave upon their first face-to-face meeting, she "just couldn't keep doing things the way (she'd) been doing them." He told her, "So don't." If only it were that simple. Nancy, like every human being, struggles with serious change. Some of us never reach the goals we've set for ourselves, others get part-way there, and some give up without even a sincere effort. A lucky, determined few make it. I think Nancy is sincerely trying. But Nancy has been doing things 'her way' for a long time now and change is hard (who knew?) So she struggles. And struggles some more. That is the down side. The upside is that she's surrounded by some really good people right now. Whether she makes the most of that is entirely up to her--even if she has not quite realized that yet.

This video scene begins what I consider to be some of Andy's funniest/most poignant lines this season:

Sitting in the pancake house with Rabbi Dave and the boy with the mom who habitually forgets to pick him up from school, Andy muses on his impending 'male menopause': "I'm going to be drooling during the day--not even just at night!"

He decides right then and there that maybe people should just jump right into life instead of hestiating and over-thinking so he does exactly that. Will he live to regret it or willl it be the beginning of true happiness for Andy? Tune in next week as you will find out!

'It's over when I say it is!!!' - Dexter

Indeed.

It will blow your mind.*

***SPOILER WARNING***

No one escapes the Dark Passenger. Dexter returns September 30th at 9PM ET/PT.

DEXTER season 7, Episode 1: DEXTER Season 7 premiere. Episode 7.01 - 'Are You ...?' After witnessing her brother kill Travis Marshall, Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) attempts to reconcile with Dexter (Michael C. Hall) while struggling to cover up their involvement with the murder. Meanwhile, Detective Mike Anderson has an unfortunate run-in, Quinn and Batista begin to make amends, and LaGuerta finds evidence that causes her to re-think the closed Bay Harbor Butcher case.

*See? I told you it was mind blowing--and spoiler-y! There is some really effed up stuff going on too, which in the case of a cold-blooded murder of a series regular in the police station must be someone's (Deb's or Dex's) daydream or nightmare. I never considered the possibility that it was real but judging from the comments beneath the video, plenty of Dexter fans do.

Dexter continues to be my favourite Showtime show (though I'm really digging Homeland, too!) and in the top 5 of any television drama I watch so I am definitely popping up a big bowl of popcorn, snuggling up with my honey, and tuning in when it premieres on Sept. 30. (I prefer to watch it as it airs 'live' in my time zone--not DVR it).

You may have read that Dexter has been renewed through season 8   (yay!)?

I'm betting that the next 24 or so episodes will be NO HOLDS BARRED which is exactly how I  like my Dexter.

DEXTER Season 7 Promo (Credit: Showtime)

Latest Dexter Scoop from TVGuide:

Deb and La Guerta aren't the only two people who will be on to Dexter this season. "As we introduce in the pilot, Dexter kills someone who is very important to Ray Stevenson's Isaac, someone who is a significant part of his organization," showrunner Scott Buck says. "That also tees Isaac off to find out what happened to this person, who killed this person and so he's also on to Dexter all throughout this season." Man, Dex just can't catch a break this year, huh?

Slipping further into religious fervor, Bill (Stephen Moyer) gives Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) an order she's loath to carry out. Armed with a damning video of Russell (Denis O'Hare) and Steve (Michael McMillian), the military delivers an ultimatum to the Authority. Claude (Giles Matthey) and Maurella (Kristina Anapau) take Sookie (Anna Paquin) to meet the faerie elder, who may know something about an ancient family secret. Alcide (Joe Manganiello) reconnects with his father; Sam (Sam Trammell) and Luna (Janina Gavankar) hitch a ride into the Authority.

So now I'm really wondering 'why' Jason would venture out from the faery sanctuary when he knows that Russell is on the loose and gunning for him and Sookie? How does he end up in the dirt, looking whiter than Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) who is lying next to him, apologizing.

Update: Well, I'm on the fence now that I've seen the 2 sneak peeks. Jessica could trick Jason--let's face it, he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I think she'd give him a choice; even if Bill orders her to turn someone, it doesn't have to be Jason. I'm going to say no, Jason does not become vampire. That was done already this season with Tara. And Jason fluctuates between not liking, tolerating, and hating vamps. Now that he believes both his parents were killed by one? I'm thinking no way would he consent to being made vampire.

There are several very shocking True Blood images in the True Blood Season 5: Episode #59 Preview (VIDEO).

Does Jason die in season 5? Maybe--from the looks of the 'compromising position', that of maker and progeny, it appears that Jessica is in the process of turning Jason. The episode description for episode #59, (below) implies that Jessica is possibly forced to turn someone...so Jason drew the short straw?  It appears too that Jason is at the mercy of Russell who wants Sookie for her fairy blood. Does Russell have a hand in Jason's ultimate destination in the dirt?

This is a good, solid Weeds episode. There's a surprising scene (call me naive) with Nancy, a revealing scene with Shane's girlfriend's mother, Andy has a close encounter with the cute Rabbi, and Silas and Nancy learn the ropes of their respective new jobs.

And there is a big reveal in the photo above. Nancy has just deduced that Jill is pregnant (I'm assuming she doesn't know about the Doug/Jill hookup) with Andy's kid. Andy is measuring both women's reactions but especially Nancy's to see if she's going to react in any way in his favour.

I think he'll always have a 'thing' for his sister-in-law but he needs to move on and hopefully with Nancy's sister Jill of all people, he has.

Seems to me that the body count is going to continue to climb at a fast clip as True Blood winds up it's 5th and final season with Alan Ball as showrunner. Season 5 has been a pretty wild ride with much of the Vampire Authority succumbing to political agendas and power plays, culminating in the true death. Former Bon Temps Sheriff Bud Dearborne (William Sanderson) and Terry's Iraq war buddy, Patrick (Scott Foley) bit it tonight. How many more dead bodies are in store for us in season 5? Three more episodes. I'll call an even dozen, including a main character.

 Dexter - Season 7 - Press Release SPOILERS:

Season 7 returns in explosive fashion, as Dexter (Michael C. Hall) is finally forced to confront his greatest fear, as Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) witnesses his insatiable, ritualistic slaying of a killer. Now Deb knows the secret of his Dark Passenger, his undeniable thirst for blood, and the Code that their father Harry (James Remar) instilled in him as a young boy.

But as Deb tries to reconcile the unfathomable idea that her beloved, mild-mannered brother is Miami’s most notorious serial killer, Dexter is still pulled by his natural impulses to seek out the guilty and exact his brand of vigilante justice, which leads him on the trail of a brutal Ukrainian mobster (Ray Stevenson).

Along the way, Dexter meets Hannah McKay (Yvonne Strahovski), a strong, independent woman with a past that she's struggled to put behind her. As a turn of events leads Miami Metro Homicide to ask for her help in solving some old cases, Dexter works with her and begins to wonder if there's more to this woman than she's professed.

Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) was in the midst of a blood frenzy with the rest of the vampires in a bar on Bourbon Street when his and Nora's (Lucy Griffiths) deceased maker,'Godric,' made an appearance and called him out as doing 'wrong.' Godric instructed Eric to reign in his sister in as though Eric knew better (than to go on a feeding frenzy), Nora did not. Unfortunately, all the other vampires are behaving as Nora, in a state of hallucinogenic blood-lust and they appear not to have any concerns about how many humans they consume. Even worse, Bill (Stephen Moyer) appears to genuinely be buying into their new openly-proclaimed 'Sanguinista' philosophy that humans are simply a food source for vampires.

Despite some retconning on the part of True Blood writers regarding Sookie's faery heritage--she is now 'half Fae,' versus the 'one-eighth Fae' that she's been stated to be in the series up to this point, they would really have to pull a hat trick to have Bill be the vampire who attacked and killed Sookie's parents. Sookie is supposed to only be in her late 20's: her parents died about 20 years ago and Bill was shown in the 1980's already mainstreaming. The numbers just do not add up to be Bill nor does this guy look anything like Bill. This then, to have the story come full circle so to speak, is Russell--the vampire with the power to smell faery blood on a band-aid in closed car, in a driving rainstorm, from how many yards away?

Mary-Louise Parker as Nancy Botwin in Weeds episode 8.05 (Credit: Michael Desmond /Showtime)

It is said the more things change, the more they stay the same and that seems to have been particularly applicable to Weed's Nancy Botwin (MARY-LOUISE PARKER) over the years. Nancy changed her environment by moving numerous times, she changed partners many times, too--they ranged from one-night stands to full-on marriage. She continually tried to make fresh starts with a vague goal of making enough money to 'start over.' But she never seemed to realize that as long as she dealt weed she would always be outside the law and so would bring trouble upon herself--and those around her--time and again. But now, depending on your perspective, the inevitable or the unthinkable has happened to Nance--she took a .22 caliber bullet to the head and survived mostly intact, has the impetus for real change begun? It's hard to know but it is evident that she is very aware that she has been living a life of screwing up and she wants to stop. In this episode she meets the man who she's been stealing middle-of-the-night swims from in his backyard pool. He happens to be the same man we met in the season 8 premiere--the rabbi (David Julian Hirsh) who offered words of wisdom and comfort to a fraught Andy at the hospital.

 

Weeds: Episode 8.05 'Rabbi David Bloom'  (David Julian Hirsh) (Credit: Showtime)

The rabbi looks to be exactly Nancy's type but more important, he has his act together, is caring, compassionate and devout. Is there any way that our favourite (ex?) drug dealer could make a life with a small-town rabbi? Well, if there's anything we've learned, it is that anything can happen on Weeds.

It's a testament to the great writing and Mary-Louise Parker's deft acting that we still care about what becomes of her as we finish out this 8th and final season of Weeds. Show creator Jenji Kohan has interviewed that much of this season will be taking us in a full-circle direction. Could it be then that 8 years-ago Nancy lost her Jewish husband (to a heart attack whilst jogging with son Shane (ALEXANDER GOULD) and now she's met a really nice Jewish guy and will truly start the life that she's dreamed of?

 

WEEDS (Season 8) – “Red In Tooth And Claw” – Episode 8.05 Synopsis:

Jill (JENNIFER JASON LEIGH) uses Doug (KEVIN NEALON) to get revenge on Andy (JUSTIN KIRK). Shane (ALEXANDER GOULD) and Angela (DANIELE WATTS) go on a double date with Ouellette (MICHAEL HARNEY) and his wife. Meanwhile, Silas’ (HUNTER PARRISH) friendship with R.J.

True Blood SPOILER Alert! Detailed Summaries For August Episodes Released #spoilers #trueblood

 

Anna Paquin as 'Sookie' and Lois Smith as 'Gran' in True Blood season 1 (Credit: HBO)

 

HBO has released summaries for the upcoming August episodes of True Blood! 

And, these are not your garden-variety plot summaries--they are packed with SPOILERS!

For example, (I'll give you a small one) we are going to see Lois Smith again! If you recall, she was Sookie and Jason's irreplaceable 'Gran' who was killed off far too soon in the series' first season. I've long thought that the series would be richer with just a bit more human element to it. Gran was such a steadying force in Sookie and Jason's life. I think that they could have kept the crazy but given us some breathers in the form of Gran. And I simply adore Lois Smith. I'm so glad she's able to be featured in an upcoming season 5 episode of True Blood!

There are more spoilers ahead so proceed with caution (or if you are like me, just dive right in!)

Andy (Chris Bauer) and Jason (Ryan Kwanten) search for leads to the identities of the people behind the shifter killings.

As Nancy Botwin enthuses, 'It's amazing what a .22 caliber slug can do,' she also faces the realities of getting back into the weed business by revisiting an old 'friend.' Meanwhile, Shane, who in the past few years has seemed the least well-adjusted to the Botwin family's every-changing spin on life, seems to be thriving in the the police academy environment. Doug discovers a disgusting habit that he'd been unaware of while the Andy-Jill hook-up grows more serious despite Andy's reflexive feelings towards Nancy.

It's mind blowing (no pun)  how fast this last season is moving, dontcha' think? I don't want it to end!

From the True Blood (HBO) blog:

The True Blood cast has been coming to Comic-Con so long now that their panel has practically become an institution. And like any well-seasoned TV stars, they knew exactly how to deliver the hotness:

The True Blood cast with creator Alan Ball at SDCC 2012 (Credit: HBO)

Alan Ball dished out some faerie stripper action.

You’ve already seen the club – it’s not a strip club per se, as it is more a burlesque club. We will see other faeries and other people in various states of undress … Sort of playing off the strip club in Charlaine’s books, we decided to make it a club where faeries just hung out and had a good time, which sometimes means having their way with humans. We wanted to be more adult, more sensual … more sort of soft-core porno faerie.

Alexander Skarsgard and Stephen Moyer relived their trunk scene.

Skarsgard: That scene was originally probably six minutes long, and it ended up being like a 10-second scene because …

Moyer: We couldn’t do it without laughing. But we did rehearse it all weekend … We both received emails from Alan, the lord and master. So we ended up kind of going in to see the principal and getting our wrists slapped.

True Blood Synopses Episode 5.11 & Season 5 Finale 'Save Yourself' - Season 5: Episode #54 Featurette VIDEO SPOILERS#trueblood

 

Alexander Skarsgård as Eric, Stephen Moyer as Bill, and Denis O'Hare as Russell in True Blood Season 5, Episode 6, "Thank God, Russell Finally Showed Up!' (j/k) i True Blood (HBO)

 

Remember, earlier this season, True Blood's Bill (Stephen Moyer) and Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) were held captive & tortured by The Authority? When Authority 'chancellor' Salome (Valentina Cervi) was bullshitting reporting to leader Roman (Chris Meloni) her assessment of Eric and Bill as possible "Sanguinistas?"

Of Eric, Salome said that he had no allegiance but to (anyone but) himself. Of Bill, it was quite different: Though not Sanguinista, he had not made a choice, 'yet.' (paraphrase).

Of the tripe Salome periodically has fed Roman this was actually a pause in the shoveling of untruths/distortions. It was clear to us the audience, that she wanted both Eric and Bill alive (but for different reasons). Now that the thumbnail synopsis of the final episode of True Blood season 5 is out (scroll down) I'm going out on a limb and saying that Salome is a Sanguinista and by season's end, if he isn't yet, Bill will be, too. Obviously, Eric will not be.

I don't know if Alan Ball is going to do what everyone dared him not to--kill Bill---but it would surprise me not as the scuttlebutt was he got a semi-public tongue-lashing from the creator of the Sookie Stackhouse series, Charlaine Harris, who, years ago of course, sold her rights to Sookie to Alan/HBO. She has yet to wind up her Southern Gothic book series but apparently the blogosphere relates, Ball got wind of Harris's plan to kill 'book Bill' and he promptly spilled the info. That is not a great way to shock your Sookie Stackhouse readers so my current guess is that Charlaine had to scrap the killing of book Bill--but that does not preclude Ball, the departing show runner of True Blood (HBO), from killing off 'our' Bill, played by Stephen Moyer, as the show moves into it's 6th season.

Weeds : The Many Faces of Nancy VIDEO:

Take a look back on the many faces and identities of Nancy throughout the seasons.

The writer and creator of Weeds, Jenji Kohan, has long maintained that Nancy is fundamentally, "Nancy," who like most people, lives her life running in circles, never changing very much. That then may be a big clue about Weed's eighth and final season: it came in quite literally with a bang as Nancy took a slug to the hairline. So, will Weeds ultimately end up neither 'here' nor really 'there'--no big epiphanies, just another day in the life of Nancy Botwin?  Kohan maintains things won't change much for Nance on her current and most likely permanent trajectory of being attracted to dangerous situations and getting bored & restless and moving on with her life.

However and wherever the Botwins 'end up' they are highly adaptive with Nancy usually leading the charge so I would expect to end at least in good part on that sort of business-as-usual note, despite the could-have-been life-altering shooting, but instead was more of a chance to 'revisit the good old days'-ending.

Mary-Louise Parker as Nancy Botwin in Weeds - Season 8 (Showtime)

 As promised, it appears as if our Miss Nancy (Mary-Louise Parker) is well on the road to recovery when we meet up with her in Weeds Season 8, Episode 2, 'A Beam Of Sunshine'. According to showrunner Jenji Kohan, it is a few months into Nancy's recovery & rehab, though she is pictured with a walker which IMO, gives us a pretty realistic gauge of how close she came to the end of her life. It sure is great to see her smiling! Something tells me that Nancy's life, on the most personal level--her psyche--has undergone possibly the biggest change in the seven-plus seasons we've been watching Weeds. Can't wait to find out!

I'm including some harrowing photo-stills via Showtime from episode one just after the episode 2 and 3 synopses and after the jump (scroll down and click them to enlarge).

Meanwhile while on the hunt for Russell Edgington, Bill and Eric, who are riding in the back of Alcide's work truck, receive a call from the Authority's tech-geek vampire, 'Molly' (Tina Majorino) informing them that their lives are ticking away by the minute and that the 'i-Stakes' attached over their hearts are set to activate at dawn, rendering them both, despite being cute, to goo.

TRUE BLOOD Episode #52 (July 1) RECAP:

Can someone please tell me where the heck TRUE BLOOD season 5 is going?

Episode #52 opened more story-lines up while others are being rendered seemingly pointless:

Debbie Pelt's parents served to give Alcide (Joe Manganiello) more screen time and to give him an excuse to see Sookie (Anna Paquin) repeatedly...and then blammo! Jessica (Deborah-Ann Woll) mindwipes Andy Bellefleur (Chris Bauer) who was 'on the case', as they say, and Alcide tells the Pelts that the now-dead packmaster killed Debbie and tah-dah! --Sookie's Debbie problem goes away.

Sam (Sam Trammell) & Luna's (Janina Gavankar) shifter friends from last season show up wanting to 'go for a run,' having gone to Luna first and having her refuse them, they 'pick' Sam. Sam shows up at the appointed place to find both shifters with bullet holes in their heads. It was made clear that Sam had no contact with them whatsoever prior so the immediate suspicion of wolf-pack intimidation makes no sense whatsoever...

Nora (Lucy Griffiths) rats out the child Authority chancellor vampire and Roman (Chris Meloni) makes a speech about the pretty stake-in-a-box with it's point made from Judas's melted-down silver coins. Then Roman stakes the kid--though they showed none of the kill. True Blood won't stake a kid vamp on HBO? Russell Edgington would consider that pretty spineless though I'm sure there will be no one mourning the loss of that snarky little fanger. Frankly, I'm finding the lot of the Authority tedious and that includes Meloni.

Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) is still turning into the blue demon every time he gets really angry; this time he cursed Sookie's car (will this be a final goodbye to the '81 Honda?) causing it to accelerate coupled with brake failure. Sookie bailed when it was going 60 mph and escaped unscathed(!)

Bill (Stephen Moyer) and Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) are still at the mercy of the Authority though they are (for now) set free to pursue Russell. They end up staring in Sookie's window, where a drunk Sookie is on the sofa making out with Alcide. It appears that they are about to engage in some faery/telepath-werewolf interruptus.

Pam and Tara (Rutina Wesley) bonded after Pam retrieved Tara from self-immoliation by tanning bed. Kristen Bauer van Straten as Pam is still the most compelling reason to keep watching season 5.

Because he believes he's going to meet the true death, Eric made up with Pam and then released her.

Bill believes he 'did well' with Jessica though he did not reveal to her that he too, will probably meet  the true death.

Terry (Todd Lowe) and Patrick (Scott Foley) found their former military buddy in a hideout underground; he appears to be more batshit than even Terry due to their shared traumatic war experience.

I have no idea why but Jason (Ryan Kwanten) and Andy were blindfolded and willingly accompanied a bunch of faeries and that geriatric judge with questionable ethics to a faeryland nightclub complete with circus-like performances. The judge claimed he went there every  weekend. Andy and Jason were none the wiser and things seemed to be rolling right along until Sookie & Jason's cousin Hadley, who has taken refuge in faeryland, saw Jason and begged him to bring Sookie there for her safety. There was a kerfuffle and Jason and Andy were booted out, where they landed in the field where Jessica chased Claude the faery, the guy that smelled really delicious in the previous episode, and both promptly got zapped by the bouncers, presumably to mindwipe them.

Sookie, You're Being a Very Stupid Girl (VIDEO) (TRANSCRIPT)

I thought this little video nugget from True Blood season 1 was apropo to now--as it is sinking in for Sookie  that she has been making some ill-advised choices--like, maybe she should have listened to Sam long ago? (Funny too, how Sam has now dropped most of his Southern accent!)

Transcript:

Sam: Sookie, you're being a very stupid girl. Sookie: Who asked you? I-I can take care of myself. Sam: I don't think so. Mack could have cut you up. Sookie: How do you know what Mack would've done? Sam: Now you're setting a date with a vampire? What do you have, a death wish? Sookie: No, I don't. I happen to think judging an entire group of people based on the actions of a few individuals within that group is morally wrong. Sam: Well, I will not let you put yourself or this bar in danger. I won't. Sookie: A-am I fired? Sam: No. But next time you think somebody's being harmed in the parking lot, pick up the phone and call the police. Do not go out there alone like a goddamn vigilante! 

Description

Sam is upset because he thinks Sookie could have been hurt when she went into the parking lot to rescue vampire Bill.

TRUE BLOOD EPISODE 5.03 Promo #2 - Roman comes to a decision about Eric and Bill

The Vampire Authoritys' bickering is almost as tiresome to watch as it must be for the Roman character to endure. I have no idea why the child actor is there because he's bringing nothing but comic relief with his high-pitched, 'Noooo!' blah, blah... "Apostates!'

Oh please, let him be the one to be staked when Roman finally loses it!(see below)

TRUE BLOOD - Episode 5.03 - Whatever I Am, You Made Me- SYNOPSIS:
Bill and Eric barter for their lives with Roman, the head of the Authority; Jason reunites with his old high school teacher; Sookie searches for Tara. (Written by Raelle Tucker; directed by David Petrarca.) (TV-MA) June 24 Premiere

 

MEGABUZZ TRUE BLOOD SPOILERS:

Q:  What's coming up on True Blood?
TVGuide.com: You know that creepy story we heard this week about Lilith, the first vampire, for whom Adam and Eve were supposedly created as food? Well, guess what? We'll actually meet her this season — but not everyone will believe that she is who she says she is. "I don't know if Roman believes it," Christopher Meloni tells us. "He puts on the garb of a spiritual leader, possibly with a wink and a certain cynicism, so he's willing to take that bet now that [she] isn't real."

 

" Goddess Lilith"

Babylonian or Sumerian Moon Goddess, patroness of Witches, demon Goddess to the Jews and Christians, Lilith represents primal feminine sexuality. Lilith is the protectress of all pregnant women and of children and mothers. She is the Goddess of wisdom, regeneration, enticing sorcery, erotic dreams and feminine allure.

Extended Synopsis: TRUE BLOOD Episode #51: “Whatever I Am, You Made Me” Debut: SUNDAY, JUNE 24 (9:00-10:00 p.m.):

Bill and Eric barter for their lives with the Authority Chancellors and their leader, Roman (Christopher Meloni). Salome and Roman enlist a new ally in the face of Russell’s return. Sookie goes to Fangtasia to ask for help from Pam, who is still caught up in her memories of Eric and the strange murders at the Comstock Brothel. Andy’s dalliance with Holly (Lauren Bowles) comes back to bite him in the butt; later, Alcide (JOE MANGANIELLO) is visited by Gordon (Steve Rankin) and Barbara Pelt (Linda Purl), who are searching for Debbie. Jason bumps into an old high school teacher, but their reunion brings up conflicting feelings. Written byRaelle Tucker; directed by David Petrarca.

 

'Well hell-o stranger.' Claudette's twin, Claude (Giles Matthey) is about to meet Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll)

What I'm most intrigued by in the promo for TRUE BLOOD episode 5.03:

Pam's origin story = More Pam & Eric (and SPOILER!!! apparently Bill and Lorena!)

A new faery in town. It seems Sookie's faery godmother's twin has shown up in Bon Temps and Jessica is really happy to meet him and we are again treated to the line, previously used on Sookie, 'What are you?.' In episode 5.01, Jessica recycled Bill's line from season 1 --'She is mine!' when Sookie was about to be fanged (unwillingly); this time was when Steve Newlin was about to do the same to Sookie's bro, Jason. Recycle, reuse, I suppose.

Are Sam & Arlene reacting to vampire Tara in the brief shot we see of them in Sam's office? The look on Arlene's face says they are. How big of a body count is Tara going to wrack up before she can be subdued (again)?

Why is Pam being so super-extra bitchy at Sookie besides the fact that Sookie is whining about Tara again? (This is gonna get old fast--the Tara being like a wild animal phase of her new vampiric state. Even teenage Jessica didn't go off the deep end like this and her turning was pretty horrific.)

What I don't care about:

Alcide and his wolfie issues.

Anything Luna. She can leave. Now. Another chick not good enough for Sam.

Terry and Patrick and the origin of Terry's PTSD. Terry is a minor character. We have plenty of his story, we don't need to examine it closely. Enjoy the 'caps!

 

'Caught' Kristen Bauer van Straten as 'Pam' in episode #51

TRUE BLOOD CASTING NEWS (JUNE 15) TRUE BLOOD - ROBERT PATRICK TO GUEST ON TRUE BLOOD AS ALCIDE'S DAD:

 

True-Blood.net has confirmed with HBO that Robert Patrick will guest star on True Blood season 5 as Jackson Herveaux, Alcide’s father. We’ll meet him in episode 5.09, “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”, when we flashback to when Alcide and Debbie Pelt were teenagers in the 1980s. Back then, Jackson was “powerful, inspiring, and heroic”, but in present day he’s pretty much given up on life. He’ll be a recurring guest star.

NURSE JACKIE EPISODE 4.10 (SEASON FINALE)

This is it, people--the season finale of what has been IMO, the best season of NURSE JACKIE, ever. Thank goodness it has been confirmed that we can look forward to season 5! This season was a MAJOR departure for Jackie in that she finally hit rock bottom and chose to do something about it. Her struggle seemed more authentic than it ever has. Jackie was up against huge odds, the most pressing being she had to work around her drugs of choice every time she went to work. Factor in husband Kevin not only serving her with divorce papers but asking for custody of her beloved girls and having a new, uber-demanding, inflexible boss, Jackie really was getting it on all fronts. At times, her sobriety seemed very tenuous but through episode 9 she made it. Will she, perhaps faced with the biggest challenge thus far, be able to retain her sobriety? You know what you'll have to do to find out. Watch! (Sunday at 9 p.m. on Showtime). I loved the season finale and am totally jazzed, anticipating season 5. Be sure to check back as I will be watching and I'd love for you to join me!

Steven Moyer and Alexander Skarsgård in True Blood season 5 (Credit:HBO)

TRUE BLOOD SEASON 5 SPOILERS (JUNE 11, 2012):

In the next episode #50, 'Authority Always Wins,' we will meet all the members of the Catholic Church-emulating Vampire Authority (their leader's name is even 'Roman' --subtle, huh?). As I mentoned earlier, while not appearing initially to be the most bloodthirsty bunch, their methods of extracting information should be quite persuasive (silver injection in the vein, anyone?).

Says E!: 'Think you are most looking forward to seeing Chris Meloni as a vampire? Well, actually our favorite Authority member is played by Christopher Heyerdahl. You might recognize him as The Swede from AMC's Hell on Wheels. He scares us in all the best ways.

Wolf Pup:...Next episode we will meet the most adorable of tiny werewolves. Seriously cute and possibly a huge complication when it comes to keeping her away from an unwanted pack.'

'It looks like Narnia.' - Eve Best as Dr. Ohara in NURSE JACKIE episode 4.09 (Credit: Showtime)

 

Last week's episode of NURSE JACKIE was a shocker: Cruz (Bobby Cannavale) fired both Eddie the pharmacist (Paul Schulze) and former head administrator Gloria Akalitis (Anna Deavere Smith) due to their complicity in both enabling and covering up Jackie's addiction. Despite the firings being not at all the popular thing to do (Zoey points out to Cruz that Eddie and Gloria are 'good people'--and he agrees!), it was the correct thing to do both in terms of legality and on a more human level. No argument that Jackie herself was responsible for her addiction but Eddie in particular, greatly enabled it (for years!) in his capacity as a pharmacist. Gloria looked the other way a number of times before out-and-out destroying evidence of Jackie's drug use--again allowing Jackie more time to 'get away' with being high at work. Neither did someone who they profess to care about a 'favour'.

This week the down feathers hit the fan. The emergency department is overcrowded due to another hospital's overflow being diverted to All Saint's, O'hara is in no shape to take on the extra stress and Cruz is as volatile as ever. Guess who rises to the occasion in her trademark style? You'll just have to watch.

Just a reminder: episode 9 is the second to last episode of season 4(!) That means next Sunday, June 17, is the NURSE JACKIE season finale. I waited until yesterday to watch it and then I watched it again today. Yes, it is that good. Without question, this is the best season-ender Nurse Jackie ever!

Nurse Jackie Episode 4.09 Detail: 'Are Those Feathers?' :

In case (like me!) you missed it, FANTASTIC NEWS! Nurse Jackie has been renewed for season 5!!

Today (June 1), Nurse Jackie has officially been given the go-ahead to produce a fifth season. The news comes on the heels of a new showrunner being added into the mix. According to Deadline, Clyde Phillips has joined the Nurse Jackie family as a the brand new creative headman. Although Phillips has some pretty big shoes to fill, he should be up to the task, having formerly served as showrunner on another Showtime hit drama, Dexter.

Season 5 Nurse Jackie's production is set to begin later in 2012. Season 4 has shown us a Jackie that has gone through rehab and is working hard to continue to stay sober, despite massive upheaval in both her personal and professional life.

The series has been averaging nearly 2.5 million viewers a week on the premium cable SHOWTIME during Season 4. The renewal comes just a few weeks before the Season 4 finale airs on June 17.

TRUE BLOOD Season 5 - Are There Any SPOILERS Left? Episode 1 Script Revealed! VIDEO #makersday #trueblood

 

RUTINA WESLEY "TARA" ON TRUE BLOOD at the EW photo shoot (MAY 2012)

 "Tara is still a part of the show. I'm sure fans have a lot of different ideas of how that could be possible, and one of those ideas is correct."

-  True Blood creator ALAN BALL at the True Blood Season 5 premiere party

One theory is that vampires Bill (Stephen Moyer) and Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) would somehow help shared love interest Sookie (Anna Paquin) (even though she dumped them both).

"I can tell you that Bill and Eric can't come running to the rescue," Wesley told TVGuide.com.

"They just killed a member of the Authority, so they're going to have a big mess to clean up themselves, so Sookie's going to have to figure this out on her own. But, you know, she's strong and resourceful and doesn't need a man to figure out her problems."

However Tara returns — whether that be as a ghost, a vampire or back to her human self, revived by vampire blood — Wesley says the once sisterly relationship between Sookie and Tara will be significantly different after that night.

"That's going to be the interesting part to watch: Tara's reaction to Sookie and Sookie's reaction to Tara," she says. "All I can say is it's charged."

TVGuide: What Is Tara's Fate?

True Blood Episode: "Turn! Turn! Turn!" Season 5, Episode 1 Episode Synopsis:

In the fifth-season premiere, Sookie and Lafayette are reeling from Tara's shooting, but there is also the matter of cleaning up Debbie Pelt's blood. Meanwhile, Bill and Eric face a new threat from the Authority; Marcus' disappearance sends his wolf pack after Sam; Jessica parties with her human peers; Jason has a reunion with Rev. Steve Newlin; a visit from Terry's war buddy brings back his PTSD; and Alcide warns Sookie about Russell Edgington's return.

Original Air Date: Jun 10, 2012 Guest Cast Dale Dickey: Martha Bozeman Aaron Howles: Rocky Lucy Griffiths: Nora Joe Manganiello: Alcide Herveaux Denis O'Hare: Russell Edgington Kelly Overton: Rikki Rachel Sterling: Trish Noah Matthews: Wade Dawn Stern: Cat Ingerslev Louis Herthum: JD Conor O'Farrell: Judge Scott Foley: Patrick Devins

DEBORAH ANN WOLL AS JESSICA AND MICHAEL MCMILLIAN AS STEVE NEWLIN IN TRUE BLOOD SEASON 5 (HBO)

Lafayette (NELSAN ELLIS) has lost his lover Jesus, but he can still see him so that will  make things a little weird. We haven’t seen the last of Kevin Alejandro (Jesus). It will get very creepy very soon as evidenced by this shot that keeps popping up.

SOURCE:  'True Blood' Season 5: Sink your teeth into  seven spoilers

 

 Since Bill is dealing with the impending vampire civil war, Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) will have the run of Bon Temps. "She's starting to grow up, she's not really a baby vamp anymore," Ball says. "She's going to do what any teenager would do when her parents are out of town... party!" It won't be all fun and games this season, though. Jessica will have to navigate her new relationship with Jason (Ryan Kwanten) — with ex-boyfriend Hoyt (Jim Parrack) watching from the sidelines. "They're extremely attracted to one another, and there's a natural chemistry there, but it was born out of this guilty thing that they did," Woll says. "That's rough and they're going to have to overcome that somehow."

So, it would seem, that Lafayette puts down the stake.

It's an open secret that Rutina Wesley remains a cast-member on True Blood despite her grievous head would at the hands of the now-deceased Debbie Pelt in the season 4 finale.

The lingering question is how is that possible? That will be answered in the season premiere.

"We will see a lighter side to her," Wesley promises. "I hope we do get back to that Season 1 Tara where she has that flippant sense of humor that we all love. I just think she's guarded and I know sometimes it comes off as being angry at everyone in the world, but it's all earned."

 

 Get ready for a Pam-tasm! We've seen how Godric made Eric how Bill became a vampire via Lorena, but this season, it's Pam's (Kristin Bauer van Straten) turn.

"We're going to see how Pam and Eric found each other and we learn how Pam became a vampire," Ball says. But Pam isn't the only focus of this year's flashbacks. We "even get a glimpse into some of Sookie and Jason's past," he adds.

 

 

CHRIS BAUER as Andy Bellefleur and LAUREN BOWLES as Holly Cleary in TRUE BLOOD Season 5:

Do you beleive in magic?

Marnie (Fiona Shaw) may have been vanquished but much magic remains in Bon Temps. According to Lauren Bowles (who plays Merlotte's waitress/Wiccan Holly Cleary), "Those powers are definitely going to be utilized because it's kind of a free-for-all this year. The power of the goddess can be used in many ways and will be relied on."

 

Sookie's faery godmother Claudine, after Eric finished snacking on her.

 How about faerie tales?

Sookie's faerie family will be back in full force this season, but they're 'different' from what we saw before, according to Giles Matthey, who plays Claude, the brother to Sookie's now dead faerie godmother, Claudine (Lara Pulver).

"The role that my character plays is a mentor figure and he cares about Sookie," he says. Still, there are some who aren't pleased that Claudine was drained by a vampire.

EDIE FALCO  as Nurse Jackie and JAKE CANNAVALLE  as 'Charlie Cruz' in Nurse Jackie, season 4.  

Did you guess that Jake Cannavale (Jackie's rehab friend, 'Charlie) was Bobby Cannavale's (Jackie's boss, 'Cruz') real-life son? It was starting to to look very probably and in episode 4.07 it's now a known fact by Jackie, by Cruz and by Charlie.

"What happens now?' is the question. Jackie continues to struggle to stay sober. Her involvement with Charlie was at first positive for her--now what's to become of this huge can of worms that has been tipped out completely?

I'm curious too if Cannvale as Cruz is hired just for the season or has signed on beyond this, if there in fact is a  NURSE JACKIE season 5 (hope so!)

A side benefit to Charlie and Cruz being who they are on the show is that we immediately understand what it must be like for Charlie to be Cruz's kid. Impossible. Maddening. And, visa-versa!

This is either proof of many people long ago calling this right or a complete foiler.

I don't wish to believe that vampire Pam (Kristen Bauer van Straten) has had the power to resurrect dead people and convert them to vampires because this is the first ever I've heard of this vamp power in the Sookie-verse.

If this is true, I commend them for trying to do something for the Tara (Rutina Wesley) character. Being made vampire she'll really be able to let loose with all her rage--snap a few necks--maybe of her fellow vampires! And any excuse for more Pam since it seems her maker Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) will be off bromancing Bill (Steven Moyer) in season 5 is fine by me.

Bringing back a guy that writes True Blood comics and used to be the Reverend Steve Newlin (Michael McMillian) though it may have been easy to do, is hard to understand, 'cause I hate the guy. He's bloody annoying and over-the-top cheesy.

NURSE JACKIE Episode 4.07 - SYNOPSIS -'Day Of The Iguana':

Next on Nurse Jackie:

NURSE JACKIE- Episode 4.07 Detail: 'Day of the Iguana' -

Jackie's divorce lawyer advises her to play hardball with Kevin if she wants custody of the children; and Eddie unwillingly gets caught in the middle of the Peytons' legal wrangling. At the hospital, Cruz has a panic attack; and Zoey seeks suggestions for a proper breakup strategy. Later, Jackie helps out Charlie following his arrest and learns an unsettling secret about the teen. (TVGuide.com)

 

Jackie thankfully is still in recovery; her teenage 'rehab friend' Charlie? Not so much. In fact, he's a total mess, bringing out both Jackie's nurse persona and her mom side. To her credit, she tries to help the kid but he's pretty far out there. Jackie's sobriety 'outside', beginning when she left rehab after 18 days, has been tenuous. Despite troubled Charlie's disrupting Jackie's own recovery he has yet to take things too far. But the farther 'out' he goes--the closer she comes to yet another challenge to her sobriety. The question is: will this be the one to break her?

 

 NURSE JACKIE: Episode 4.06 RECAP: 'No-Kimono-Zone':

This episode, which was sort of Zoey-centric (she moved in with Jacks) was somewhat of a respite from the built-in intensity of watching someone trying to stay sober in the midst of Hell breaking loose around her including new boss Cruz giving her grief for not having an employment history record on file. (Prepare for upcoming consequences and not, save for emotional grief,  for Jackie!) 'Zoey' (Merritt Wever) is the perfect 'fix' for what ails Jackie. She a temporary, safe distraction. Zoey is an interesting mix of sort-of-flighty and very grounded. Jackie's obvious distress is something that thus far, Zoey is taking in stride. Zoey's presence in Jackie's otherwise empty home is a relief/comfort for her. What was not in any way a relief was Jackie's finding some old (as in fuzz-encrusted) stash. What to do?(!) Ultimately, Jacks decided to go lean on her best friend, Ohara. Good call, Jackie.

UPDATE #2 MAY 16:

GAME OF THRONES Season 2: Episode #17 - Update - RECAP 'Previously' VIDEO Screencaps (HBO):

PROMETHEUS - #4 Official Full HD VIDEO Trailer NEW Ridley Scott 'ALIEN' Film, Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace #prometheus

PROMETHEUS 'Not a prequel" to 'Alien,' et al.

I'm OK with that.

Would have loved to see Sigourney in this but there really seems no place for her.

'Ridley Scott, director of "Alien" and "Blade Runner," returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.'

Still excited about this!
