My lord, what in the heck happened to True Blood? All season, I’ve flipped and flopped in my opinion of the series, mostly because I’ve seen the series start strong and completely run out of gas by the time the season is over. I was also concerned about how in the world the series was […]
Read more "Season Finale — True Blood, “Evil is Going On”"I wasn’t planning on writing about Sunday’s True Blood until my guilt took over. I can’t leave you loyal folks hanging! But that doesn’t really change that “Fresh Blood” was more mediocre wheel-spinning from the series.
Read more "True Blood, “Fresh Blood”"After a string of successful episodes and one hell of an ending to last week’s effort, True Blood derailed a bit this week by clumsily answering some questions and furthering one of its biggest problems.
Read more "True Blood, “I Smell a Rat”"True Blood has been damn good since episode five this season, and “Everything is Broken” is yet another exceptional episode that has me again re-analyzing my thoughts on the series as a whole.

Less scatterbrained and more emotionally resonant (especially early on), “9 Crimes” suggests things might just calm down despite the 1,306 storylines happening right now.
Read more "True Blood, “9 Crimes”"I was actually able to watch True Blood live tonight, but I’m not sure that made me feel any differently about the episode. “It Hurts Me, Too” was just as busy, just as ridiculous and sometimes just as boring as the first two efforts. I wish I felt better about the first three episodes, but […]
Read more "True Blood, “It Hurts Me, Too”"I’ve decided that holding True Blood to a standard of “great television” isn’t worth my frustrations. I’m convinced that Alan Ball and co. don’t really want the series to be something like that and I guess that’s fine.
