Season Finale

I’m not a big fan of vampires because I think they’re an overrated undead creature that little goth boys and girls pretend to be, but True Blood captured my attention from the get go. I’ll never read the book because it’s genre fiction and most of the time that sort of writing bugs the shit out of me because it follows certain conventions that outline what’s going to happen in the end. I like to be surprised. Anyway, the season finale left me hooked. I want more, but now I have to wait. Damnit, this is why I hate TV sometimes.

Californication was interesting as well. Watching Hank and Lew swap women – not intentionally of course – is actually creating enough for me to love this second season even more. I finally see why Lew is such an important character, though I already knew that it was like having Hank watch himself in the mirror. Oh the what could have beens, right?

In other news, The IT Crowd season three began on Friday. Sadly, I don’t live in a country that shows this sort of thing on TV so my only friend is now my computer. Damnit.

TV Stuff

Yesterday I posted about waiting for Nip/Tuck to pick up again, but that won’t be until January 6th. In the meantime, I’ve been kept at bay with Hank Moody and Sookie Stackhouse. I finished watching the most recent episode of Californication earlier today and I must say that I’m a tad disappointed in the direction this seems to be going. However, I am not at all shocked by the latest person Lew Ashby slept with, though Hank surely seems disturbed by it. I think what really bothers me is that Hank seems to be reverting to his old ways and that’s not at all out of character for him, but aren’t we supposed to watch characters grow and change throughout the seasons?

As for True Blood, I knew it! Sam’s a dog in the most literal sense. But now that he’s the dog, I’m left wondering who the hell’s killing off all those people because for a moment there, I was dead certain it was him. However, as memory serves me, there was a woman in the first episode that Bill sees and then vanishes (or was it the second episode?). She, I believe, was his converter. I’ll have to go back and watch those episodes again. The show seems to be getting a little more interesting, but who knows what’ll happen. I just know we’re counting down already and then I’ll have to either wait for season two, or if that fails, use my imagination because there is no way in hell I’m reading those books and I have my reasons. One of which is that while the show might be based off the books, the episodes don’t follow the same time line. It’s like that with everything.

I hate waiting for the shows I love to begin. At least Nip/Tuck begins in January. I’m watching Californication and True Blood, but the latter doesn’t really appeal to me, although making the vampires in a variety of different subcultures rather than making them all goths does please me. Californication started off with a rocky beginning. Last season it was about Hank trying to make amends with his ex and regain his family. He was successful – though a lot of you didn’t like that ending – in the finale. However, I thought the show was going to end there because of the writers’ strike. When I learned of season two, I started to wonder what the situation would be. As those of you have seen, Hank Moody is back in the same position, only minus Bill and I’m glad that character was removed. Too bad some of them weren’t taken out as well, but then what would become of Fucking & Punching?

But Nip/Tuck ending with such a cliff hanger last season and I’m still on edge with what’s going to happen to our favorite plastic surgeons. What looks like a funeral and AIDS scare, the sixth season looks some what promising. I suppose I’ll have to wait and see, right?
