True Blood review – 6×06: ‘Don’t You Feel Me’

July 22, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

This week’s True Blood has everything: decapitations, shots to the head, near-drowning, Faerie light, and gratuitous amounts of female nudity. So why am I so freaking bored?

Let’s bitch it out… [Read more…]

True Blood review – 6×05: ‘Fuck The Pain Away’

July 15, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

True Blood hits the halfway point of the season with a humdinger of an episode that seemingly hits fast forward on the majority of the storylines.

True Blood review – 6×04: ‘At Last’

July 8, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

So does this week’s title, ‘At Last’ refer to True Blood‘s recognition from gay fans that Jason (Ryan Kwanten) needs to spend a little nekkid time with some of the other muscle hunks on the show?

No? Just us? Bueller?

Alright then – let’s bitch it out! [Read more…]

True Blood review – 6×03: ‘You’re No Good’

July 1, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of HBO

True Blood‘s third episode is the best of the latest season as nearly every scene works: packing in the funny, the engaging and the WTF. As an added bonus(!) nearly all of our storylines also move forward. Now if only we didn’t have those damn wolves…

True Blood review – 6×02: ‘The Sun’

June 24, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of HBO

The sixth season of True Blood is just getting started and it’s unclear which – if any – of this season’s disparate storylines will pay off. ‘The Sun’ suggests that there’s a bit of a game-plan and OH MY GAWD BILLITH (Stephen Moyer) JUST LOOPER‘D THE BLOOD OUT OF THAT HOOKER!
