Dear True Blood
Jun. 27th, 2011 10:09 amOh, how I missed you. I really really did.
Against all logic, I adore the ever-loving crap out of you. You have a lot of problems. Loads. Too numerous to really list, you see. You're such a hot mess of story lines (fairies! vampire hierarchy! in-bred were-people! grrl power! witches! domestic disharmony! andy's a junkie! LITERAL HORSEPLAY!...and you know I'm leaving things out. TOO MANY POTS COOKING, ALAN BALL), laughable situations, terrible accents, even worse acting, and possibly the least intimidating vampire fangs EVER (see: "laughable situations"). Also there's the little matter of what you've done to Lafayette's hair.
And yet I am SO HAPPY you're back. Glee filled my heart with every new cracktastic minute. Pretty much I was keening with delight by the time it was all over. I can't wait for next week's installment of the utterly REDONK happenings in Bon Temps. Welcome back, my horrible guilty pleasure, welcome back.

Jul. 27th, 2010 10:44 pmIf you have the means, I highly recommend giving Sherlock, the new series from the BBC, a watch. It's based, of course, on the Sherlock Holmes stories, but in a present day setting. And it's brilliant. The casting is spectacular, and the writing... oh, I love it. I'm very much looking forward to the next two episodes. Here's hoping the Beeb get on it and make more in the near future.
Side note: I don't think it's possible for there to be a more quintessentially British name than Benedict Cumberbatch. Is there? :D
