True Blood Season Five: Let’s Boot & Rally
Tara and Jessica: VFFs
Pam has dressed Tara up like a S&M tranny hooker and is making her work the bar at Fangtasia. Tara still has to work on her impulse control though since she tried to drain a patron after only being on the job for 5 seconds. Pam admonishes her progeny very sharply which makes Jess feel sorry for them baby vamp. Jess and Tara bond over being turned without their consent and the heightened senses that can be overwhelming. And also how awesome it is to drink blood from the tap.
A little later Hoyt shows up to very desperately offer himself to Tara. She shoots him down at first but the next time we visit Fangtasia Tara is sucking the living daylights out of Hoyt’s neck. Luckily for the heartbroken hillbilly, Jessica is in the next stall getting her drink on and is able pull Tara off him before she drains him dry. Yes, folks…we have ourselves a bonafide vampire catfight!

True Blood Season Five: We’ll Meet Again
Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Pam stops Tara from killing herself on the tanning bed and compels her to refrain from any more attempts at suicide. she then takes her child back to Fangtasia where Bill and Eric are waiting for them. While Bill and Tara go into the other room, Eric forcefully questions Pam to see if she is the one who helped dig up Russell Edgington. Pam didn’t do it and she is mightily pissed at Eric for even thinking she would. Eric tries to be all cold-blooded and haughty but eventually he warms up and makes the ultimate sacrifice to ensure Pam’s safety by freeing her from the maker bond so that she won’t be swept up in the whole Vampire Authority/Russell Edginton fracas that Eric is confident will end in his own death.
Bill and Tara’s conversation really went nowhere since she was being a big twat (mainly about Sookie). Later on, after a nice nap, Pam wakes Tara and gets her to feed on a living breathing human. Tara attacked fresh blood with serious gusto and her schooling on Vampire Existence 101 has begun.
Bill goes back to his mansion to look for listening devices since that would have to be the only way anyone outside of him, Eric, Pam and Alcide would have known about Russell. he also has a touching father/daughter moment with Jessica moment.
True Blood Season Five: Whatever I Am You Made Me
Did anyone else notice the ridiculously high amount of super-speedy vampire hijinks in this past episode? It seemed like every 20 seconds a vampire was using vamp speed to run out of a scene, run back into a scene, text, type and pretty much every other act under the sun. Don’t believe me? Well I put together a compilation video of all the accelerated vampiness to prove my point:

5 Underrated UK Shows You Should Check Out
LUTHER
If you are a fan of Idris Elba and have wanted to see him in something more like his breakout role as Stringer Bell in the amazing HBO series The Wire (as opposed to playing Nicolas Cage’s sidekick in Ghost Rider or his thankless role in Prometheus) then I suggest you seek out his amazing psychological crime-drama Luther.
Detective Chief Inspector John Luther is an absolute mental mess of a man who has no issues with cutting corners or doing shady things in order to close a case. And the relationship between Luther and suspected murderer Alice Morgan (played remarkably by Ruth Wilson) is one of the most intriguing I have seen on an TV show. Luther and Morgan’s sexually charged game of cat-and-mouse drives most of the first season of the show and would be more than enough to justify watching the show.

Season 5 of True Blood is upon us, children. Rejoice! This season promises the return of Dennis O’Hare as Russell Edgington, the arrival of Christopher Meloni as the head dog of The Vampire Authority and hopefully a 100% reduction of fairies. So without further ado let’s get this party started!

Game of Thrones Scene of the Week: Winter Is Finally Here
One of the tag lines for this season of Game of Thrones was “Winter is Coming” and since I am obsessed with the whole White Walker thing I was very eagerly awaiting more scenes of GoT’s version of zombies. Alas the season was very light on the zombies despite a lot of time being spent beyond the wall. That is until the last few minutes of the second season finale where a horde of White Walkers led by a totally bad ass White Walker Warrior on a zombie horse showed up.

Game of Thrones Scene of the Week: One More Drink Before The War
Despite the selling point of this episode being the Battle of Blackwater (and there was an awful lot to like about that battle especially Tyrion proving himself a leader of men) but my favorite scene of the episode was the face off between the enforcers for the The King and The Hand.

Game of Thrones Scene of the Week: A Girl Lacks Honor
Arya racks up a back-to-back appearance with her scenes with Jaqen H’ghar. Arya outmaneuvered the deadly assassin by giving him his own name as the third name on her list of people he has to kill in order to get Jaqen to help her and her friends escape Harrenhal.

Game of Thrones Scene of the Week: Little Orphan Arya
“A Man Without Honor” was a bit heavier on dialog than action and the best scene for me was the further adventures of Little Orphan Arya and her ward Daddy Lannister. Tywin Lannister is surrounded by generals yet he can only have deep, meaningful conversations with a tweenage girl he has just met. That this man of great intellect and power is surrounded by so many idiots has been shown in previous episodes and this exchange was just extra fun. The two characters went back and forth with Tywin making it known that he is aware when Arya is lying … Continue reading Game of Thrones Scene of the Week: Little Orphan Arya
