Next time, I want SMoyer piggybacking Askars

[peppermintyrose]

His long legs hanging over Bill? Worth watching way more. So to the weekly ravings about how much True Blood sucks. I didn't hear many spoilers this week of substance, beyond What the fuck? It's hard to say what that sort of spoiler means, really. And unfortunately, it was a direct contrast this week - Breaking Bad Season Five premiered right

If you think this one was bad wait until you see next week's. Can't wait to read what you have to say about it - you're more entertaining than the show.

I think it's indicative of how badly things are going for True Blood that I hear that all the time. :D And glad to be of service. :D

I'm so glad I have you to watch this for me, because I got so bored during this episode I totally tuned out. I was eating M&Ms and got fixated on getting them out of the bag in the right combination to make little rainbow patterns. Them I had a discussion with Mr Ooshka about whether the fact the 5 yr old is anal about her felts being in a particular rainbow combination was due to me, and then I 'fessed up about the time I re-organised all the t-shirts on the display at the Katies I was working at into shade groupings...and then I watched some of the end bit and thought "What

[peppermintyrose]

Lol - I'll be your sacrificial lamb. Although, I can't guarantee past the end of this season - actually with the end of the SVM books, this'll be like a ghost town. :D I love that you reorganised Katies too. Lol.

Oh please don't say that. Alan Ball would love a cast of 4050 that he doesn't have to fire, and there's 2.5 hours of 5 minute storylines. Christ that would be so bad.

Lots of people who loved the original Fright Night hated this remake, but I didn't like the original Fright Night. It wasn't action packed enough for my tastes.

My feeble yay is even feebler. It's from the dying throat of an nonagenarian it's so un-yay-like. I love that saying though - I might steal that from your toddler.

Nooooo - you can't retire! I will die!

[anonymous]

Yeah, surely TB will die a death all on its own anyway. How long are the actors tied to it, anyway? I can't see Anna Paquin being up for years and years of night work if she has small babies. I dunno. Maybe she really, really enjoys playing a screaming idiot

[peppermintyrose]

I'm not really sure. But surely if AB is able to get out, they will soon too. I suppose we wouldn't hear anything about it until the end of season - because otherwise the spoilers would let us know. For example, if Askars has a job elsewhere, we know he's going to die at the end of the season

[finiteanarchy]

Just you wait...next week will have you in epileptic fits of rage

[peppermintyrose]

Oh, I bet it'll be bad. This is the height of the season, where I'm supposed to be worried about everything, and apart from the slut shaming, I can't master a crap

[smaugthedragon1]

What a great read!!! Ha.....wait till you see next weeks..........totally lost/jumped the shark. We get reminded about how Sookie loves Bill.........by the time I finished vomiting half the show was over. I don't think I missed much. I liked your other post on academia. I always tell my first year uni students to start thinking and that nothing is sacred, by the time I get them again in fourth year most of them have at least started to think.......they still think lots of "stuff" is sacred though! I live in hope.

[peppermintyrose]

I'm sure Sookie does love Bill. But I couldn't give two craps about the romance, or who she's screwing. I have heard a couple of screeches about them getting back together again before the end of the season, but at this point, I'm nominally invested in Sookie (because they keep picking on her) and not at all invested in Bill or Eric.

Aww - thanks - glad you enjoyed it. :D But lots of students just aren't made for post-grad. I had a student once ask me if she should aim for 4's (passes) or 7's (top marks) and I just looked at her. For me, it's a no-brainer. Not for her. So I broke it down for her what she should aim for depending on outcomes.

Once again I couldn't even watch the whole thing. I figure it's much better for my blood pressure if I don't watch it all and send more time with the snarky recaps.

I agree with the others about how you will like the next episode. I will have a bucket of popcorn and a drink on hand to read and be entertained. Pam's little speech to Tara has to go down as one of the worst things ever written. And because one smoke monster isn't enough now we have two! (And why can't poor Sookie get dressed alone. At least this time she has more of a robe on than when Eric came peeping in the last season.)

All I could think about when they returned to the super secret Authority HQ was damn! They have a good cleaning service! The place was spotless, hope they are on call because they need to come over again.

Such a disaster! Looking forward to your real Sookie post this week. Those are always so much better to think about! :)

[peppermintyrose]

Oh yeah - I have to be careful just how explosively angry it makes me. Not the storyline, or how closely it resembles the books (there's no fucking chance at this point) but the way they degrade the female characters week after week.

Lol - maybe you'll see the pretty white mushroom cloud as I go nuclear. At least, since I'm in Australia, you're likely to be outside the blast radius. Two smoke monsters won't worry me, because really, they don't actually *do* anything.

And the super secret Authority - of course it's clean. Not only do they have 4050 members of the Glamour Squad/ornamental standing squad just *itching* to do something other than stare at the wall, but they have all that practice spraying out vans and cleaning up bodies from Tolerance Massacres that go wrong.

Lol - they are. If it helps, this one will be a little bit on Niall and the choice he gave Eric. Working on it now. :D
