Personable, polite, film director, producer — all words that describe Rockmond Dunbar who plays Charming’s new sheriff Eli Roosevelt in the FX hit drama Sons of Anarchy. Via a conference call on November 2, 2011, Dunbar shared some insight on his character’s background, motivations and views on dealing with SAMCRO, Juice Ortiz (Theo Rossi) and USDA Lincoln Potter (Ray McKinnon).

Review: #Bones (@BONESonFOX) “The Memories in the Shallow Grave” (Pregnancy, I love you’s, and Booth cooking…naked?)
Finally, the long awaited seventh season begins and we find our lovable couple in the midst of the second trimester. I’m extremely happy to have Bones back each week to salivate over Booth, ooh and ahh over the relationship between the adorable couple, and to dive head first into more interesting cases.

Review: Sons of Anarchy, Season 4, Episode 9, “Kiss”
Juices’ suicide attempt is no longer a secret to some; Gemma (Katey Segal) and Clay still face their ‘doctor problem’; and the ‘Niners’ alliance with Lobo could be a game-changer for SAMCRO, the Mayans and the Galindo Cartel. Charlie Hunnam is eye candy but in “Kiss” he provides something extra too as he gives a standout performance.

Ghostly Obsession Blog – 1st Paranormal Investigation (Westwood & Downey Cemeteries, Linda Vista Hospital)
For our first investigation, we visit three locations in Los Angeles: Westwood Cemetery, Linda Vista Hospital, and Downey Cemetery. Although we didn’t encounter any good or bad entities, it was a very interesting night to say the least. Not all investigations are going to result in evidence of the paranormal but this small investigation has only ignited the bright spark within me; now the slow burning flame of curiosity is anxious to discover more to feed my Ghostly Obsession.

The Plot Thickens. Review: Homeland – “Blind Spot”
“Blind Spot” does a nice job of character development, especially with Carrie and Saul. They are both such hard-driven people; it’s refreshing to see their softer, more vulnerable sides. The episode also leads us to another possibility: is Saul the one who’s been turned, and if so, why? Or is there a mole in Estes’ (David Harwood) office? Although the show alone is enough to keep me tuning in week after week, this turn of events makes me even more invested in Homeland. In my opinion, Homeland is the best new show this season on all the networks—broadcast, cable and premium.

Review: Pan Am – Season 1, Episode 6, “The Genuine Article”
Towards the end of “The Genuine Article,” Maggie will make a decision that she’ll regret. Kate struggles with her mission as Dean realizes Ginny is a woman who the words “no” or “stop” work as an aphrodisiac. The complexity in these dynamics may be what Pan Am needs for its storyline to solidly take flight once and for all.

The Stimulus and the Responses. Review: Boss – “Reflex”
“Reflex’s” script gives viewers enough information to keep their interest and when the full-reveal comes – the reactive stimuli or ‘reflex’ — proves to be very rewarding. Media coverage is used to advance the plot and how today’s news is manipulated and exploited by both politicians and media organizations is addressed.

Review: The Vampire Diaries “Ghost World” (And Jenna Couldn’t Come Back Because…?)
While I enjoy “Ghost World,” I wish it included a bit more. There are so many other ghosts that could/should have shown up (hello Aunt Jenna!) and interacted with the usual suspects. And what about Katherine? Is she dead now? Wouldn’t she have shown up too? You know she’s got tons of unfinished business.

Review: American Horror Story “Halloween Pt. 1” (“trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat”)
You aren’t sure who or what is real anymore. We begin in the year 2010 meeting our two most recent tenants of the house, Chad (guest star Zachary Quinto) and his lover Patrick (Teddy Sears). The once thought murder-suicide of the beloved gay couple turns out to be murder-murder when Pat walks in and finds the latex man with his hands full of dead Chad. The latex man keeps popping up throughout the episode and it’s really creepy! It’s apparent he is another victim of the house but who is this masked intruder? I have a theory on that…but will save it for later.

The Drinking Game to End All Games. Review: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia – “Chardee MacDennis: The Game of Games”
When I watched this episode last night, it didn’t really tickle my funny bone. But knowing what Sunny is capable of, I decided to watch “Chardee MacDennis: The Game of Games” a second time to be fair. I’m so glad I did. Where I only chuckled once or twice last night, especially when they put Frank in the dog crate, today I was laughing practically non-stop.
