We're catching up on the previous season of True Blood, and I am SO NOT OKAY with what happened to Terry. It felt like the writers being pointlessly cruel.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Not sure if I should put this up here or back in Cable Drama where we used to discuss it, but the new episodes of The Killing are up on netflix today!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, I didn't know that was happening. Thanks!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I tried watching Hemlock Grove. I'm not sure if I or it failed.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I vote it failed -- I tried, but after lasting through nearly three episodes, I gave it up.

That's about how far I got.
Did the women get exponentially less interesting, or something? I mean, it wasn't great the first time around, but I seem to recall some XX to pay attention to.

ita,
HG failed. HARD.
And, the 2nd season is so much worse than the 1st. Which I would never have believed.

Watched the first two episodes of Penny Dreadful last night. Other than the spiders, this show may be everything I've ever wanted. As soon as the high-society party seance-as-entertainment scene started, Pete had to pause the show while I got my delighted giggles under control.
Pretty clothes and teacups full of blood and vampires and trendy Victorian occultism! I LOVE THIS SHOW. Dear NBC, THIS is what your Dracula show should have been like.

Because books.
Seriously, it gets better. I expected fun, popcorn stuff, and it actually rose well above that for me. I can't wait for the second season.

Pam stole the idea for Fangtasia from Ginger? Billith Christ on a cracker, I cannot!
I KNOW, RIGHT?
I never expected to feel horrified sympathy for Ginger. But that flashback to her first entering the video store, looking for vampire movies her professor recommended, all earnest and geeky and stoked about her college class about monsters and the role of the Other in society? She just needed to be wearing a black velvet dress and have big deathrock hair and she would have been me.
