Billith is Back. Who Cares, Really?

Posted on April 14, 2013

‘What?? We still have to deal with Billith in Season 6??’

True Blood comes back for its sixth Season come June 16 2013, and while I am a closet Eric-Sookie shipper, forgive my lukewarm excitement for the renewal of this popular HBO series. Although the fifth season delivered its signature serving of unapologetic blood, gore, violence, sex (even violent animalistic sex) and hot men and women, human or otherwise, the plot ran thinner than the Sookie Stackhouse novels the series was based on.

The Cutest Elvis Has Ever Looked

Posted on March 24, 2013

Jessica Day dons the pompadour for a change.

After last week’s episode of Quick Hardening Caulk, endangered fish with perfectly round breasts, and magnificent sexy times, the geniuses behind New Girl have decided to pour cold water above our heads with a funeral episode. Good thinking, I believe. Viewers are on the point of combustion and we need a moment to fan ourselves.

Elvis drops by to personally console Nick by virtue of their being ‘roomfriends.’

This week it looks like we will be entertained with a Jessica Day version of the King himself as she, Schmidt and Winston go on a trip to Chicago. Nick Miller is not complaining.

The Aftermath of the Kiss

Posted on March 9, 2013

Better articulated as “OMG happens now??” after the “kiss that rocked all social media” by the show’s fanatic Newbies (raises hand). I personally wasn’t there when Ross and Rachel were unraveling their romance in the sitcom game-changer FRIENDS, but I think it wouldn’t be as adorably dorky, fall-off-the-couch funny and witty as it is now with New Girl‘s Nick and Jess. Major props to showrunner Liz Meriwether for the genius timing and the awkwardness that followed suit. Critics be damned while the rest of us are glued to the tube and cursing the hot summer day this season ends.

As for the never ending comparison to the FRIENDS royal couple, no I don’t think they are the new Ross and Rachel. They are their own Nick and Jess. Did Ross ever write one and half zombie novels? I don’t think so. Rachel too was never “old-fashioned below the belt.” As only Jessica Day would put it, “I’ve got a Civil War-era piece of equipment and that’s all she wrote.”

Cheers to that.

Ah. I found you again!

Posted on August 26, 2012

You are next on the playlist. Though I do have to do something productive first before I push play, otherwise I’m afraid I am beginning to grow up backwards. Plus, this drama has not finished airing yet, and I don’t wanna upend my sanity waiting for the next one to be aired and subbed. Until then 😉
