It will be interesting to see if they pursue any of the plots involving Jason from rest of the books.

(BTW, Arlene's kids are two mini-balls of awesome!)

"Yep, I'm pretty sure he'd dead." "Yep." LOVE

Yeah, I don't get why Sookie seems to have this "power" and her brother does not.

the power could be matrilineal.

like "Bewitched!"

Finally got to watch the True Blood finale - my power went out in the middle on Sunday and my attempts to record it since then have been thwarted until last night. I can pretty much just point to what kat perez says and nod. The maenad storyline never really worked for me, glad it's over. Too funny that they managed to get Sookie running through the woods in a white dress AGAIN.

I was so pleased with Jessica and Bill having their little family moment before going out for the evening, very sad that that's all a front on her part.

Eta: I have not curiosity about where Sookie's power comes from, which is odd considering how everyone keeps going on about how special she is. I do hope guy-who-works-at-vampire-hotel-and-is-also-telepathic turns up again, though.

that was so cute!

Bill saying "...but times change" seemed like a Big Character Moment, but in a genuinely sweet way.

I think Johnny Drama, er, Kevin Dillon got robbed by Emmy. He should totally feel in good company for that, but still...and for some guy to play Designated Tightass on fuckin' Two and A Half Men?(Although my issue isn't with Cryer, but with Emmy's eagerness to give cooking awards to peanut butter sandwiches.) I wish it had been Piven, just because he would not have taken this quietly and I would LOL at some of the invective he'd come up with.Although it should have been Dillon to get the statue in Season 3...that whole arc leading up to Five Towns was some great acting, imo.

I'm SO stealing this line in everyday life. erika, you are a genius.

Thank you...I even like peanut butter, but you don't need to be a great chef to make it. But seriously, I thought Drama was such a jerk in the first episodes, begging for new calves and all that, but by the time he gets that audition with Burns and he does that "VICTORY!" thing, you're just so on board with him, right?(Maybe that is partially about my writer's ups and downs, but it's also that Dillon plays it all: The bravado, and the insecurity and the love and the envy of having a little brother who's a sex god almost without trying...that stuff is not in 2 and A Half Men...it just isn't.)ETA: Actually, the brother stuff kind of is, I suppose, but only in the broadest way. Yes, by all means, let's reward the alimony joke again. Even though I don't know anybody that ever got alimony in real life and I know plenty of people who want to be artists and get screwed in the attempt. (I hope that happens to Drama, too...it'd be funny if the television Academy gets on the shitlist with the Valley and Jimmy Kimmel.)

That was a great arc for Drama.

I've never watched Two and Half Men, Jon Cryer could Laurence Olivier on it for all I know.
