If that's it for Chris Meloni after all the hype of him being on the show this season? interesting.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
And the point at which she's petulant enough to throw a fairy glitterball at someone who says something she doesn't want to hear--she's supposed to still be sympathetic to the viewer?
I think we're supposed to blame Bill for that for messing up her head against the fae, but I have never been particularly sympathetic to Sookie.
Sookie and Dumbface are full blooded siblings? Is he as fairy as she is, and is she just extra sparkly special because she's our heroine?
I think I heard that in the books Dumbface's fae heritage comes through in his ability to charm and have sex with anyone, but in the show they are supposed to be full siblings.

This week's was the best Newsroom so far. Much more emotional impact. as for True Blood, I like Sookie, but that was pouty and childish.

I agree, and I am pretty sure I saw Allyson Hannigan giving an interview on one of the screens in the background. Did anyone else catch that?

I saw that interview too! I've liked Newsroom all along, but this really was the best episode so far.

Didn't see AH, but the backgrounds are crowded. Much more showing than telling. Much better. And, yeah, he's not Keith. Just a newsman who pisses off his bosses constantly and ends up in page six all the time, and throws paper at the camera...I don't know where the stuff gets started. Wink. I did have one tiny quibble though, a person concerned about the dissemination of gossip to that extent is not likely to spread it himself, is he? Wouldn't he just say the reporter had some sensitive information about one of the Housewives, or something? Then the blonde would look worse being all "Brittany, that bitch...I hate her guts."(I have to admit, I have those kinds of thoughts about the Kardashians from time to time. Because they add nothing, and because, despite my desire to avoid them, I still know how many sisters there are and that the one who got the quick divorce just wants to be someone's mommy and blah, blah, blah.)
