We finally meet The Authority and I have to admit, I’m not too impressed. This group of vampires is varied to be sure, but what exactly is their plan for their vampire infested world?

So yeah, the big reveal doesn’t go down the way I thought it would. I didn’t cry although I came pretty darned close to it. *shaking my finger* Very sneaky, writers. You almost made me dislike this episode. You got me good, though. You got me good.

Review: True Blood "Turn, Turn, Turn" Back The Clock. I Miss The Good Ol' Days. 6

You can’t expect me to be entertained by a few snarky remarks and a quick flash of skin here and there. That’s not what True Blood is about (or at least it wasn’t). But maybe that’s the point.

Will Rosie's Case Land Linden In Lockdown Again? Review: The Killing "72 Hours" 13

While “72 Hours” isn’t the most gripping episode, it’s important. We see a side of Linden that’s so deep it hurts to watch her being ripped open and torn apart. I only hope she can keep it together long enough to put Rosie’s killer away.

This is only the fourth episode of Veep and we’re already at the “meh” stage. I just don’t get it. The acting seems forced, the lines are delivered mechanically, the jokes aren’t funny and I found my thoughts wandering.

You Call That A Finale? Review: New Girl "See Ya" 24

“See Ya” feels more like a series finale than a season finale. The ending is predictable and not all that funny. The gem of the show comes when the gang ends up in the desert and keys start flying. I didn’t see that coming.
