I'm just watching True Blood to be completist about the whole thing. We're all the way back to naked, sex toy Jason? Is that it? Not that Ryan Kwanten isn't very pretty naked, but we had so moved beyond that. And having Pam off on some Eric spirit quest while her progeny is murdered? And didn't she feel it when Tara got offed? Bah, humbug. And I never cared much about Sookie anyway but even less now when it's how many seasons in and she still goes off traipsing through the woods alone? That's what got her almost killed and entangled with Bill in the first place. And I don't care at all about Sam being caught up with Jurnee Smollet and her baby. I'm in it for Andy and Lafayette. And maybe Eric if he ever comes back.
River: They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be, but they forgot. Now they see the sky and they remember what they are. Mal: Is it bad that what she said made perfect sense to me?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just finished S2 of OITNB and all I can say is dayum. That was some powerful shit.

I was thinking that there's nothing much I still like about True Blood, but I do still like Pam. Not necessarily her storyline right now, but I do enjoy the character. Also Lafayette, of course.
And I don't think Tara is really gone, since we didn't see it happen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Apparently there are interviews where they sob like they'll never see each other again, some where she's gone but not GONE, so they seem to be playing us pretty hard. It's a slim and kinda rude death, even if she wasn't popular.
What was on Lala's head? That looked more complicated than hair, like he'd glued the scarf in a pattern to his head.

I was unsure of the right place to put that--correct if required.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
So I finally watched the most recent episode of Penny Dreadful. That was...not what I was expecting.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I saw The Leftovers. Did anyone else see it? I did not like it at all. I am trying to figure out what the point is.

I recorded it but haven't watched yet. I was already ambivalent about it, you are not making me want to watch it more...

Because books.
I did like it! But I'm a sucker for that kind of story. And I thought Justin Theroux was really good, as well as the kid who plays his daughter.
