True Blood S07E01 "Jesus Gonna Be Here"

All I remember from the end of last season is Eric naked on a mountain.

Who were these hostile vampires?

I thought Hep V killed the vampires? It makes them evil (or something)?

What are you doing introducing all these new characters?

Okay, okay, Jessica's new boyfriend is a Vietnam vet-era vampire. That's kind of interesting. (Does he have a name, though?)

I am so distracted by Violet's thigh gap. How does that even work?

What happened to Pam's lipstick?

Did Eric leave some sort of scavenger hunt for Pam?

Wait, what was with that body Sookie stumbled across in the woods?

Andy's daughter looks like Jennifer Garner.

Why is everyone blaming Sookie?

I don't know what's happening.

Homicide: Life on the Street S01E01 “Gone for Goode”

The Wire clearly owes a lot to this show already. That conversation about whether to pick up the phone? And the thing with the Mayor's security detail.


OMG, Andre Braugher looks so young!

Orphan Black S02E10 "By Means Which Have Never Yet Been Tried."

Castor? As in Castor and Pollux? Dude clones??

Why would you let Duncan brew his own tea??

"Enjoy your oopherectomy"

It must have been funny to film this dance party.

How does Sarah know who Marion is? Or does she not?

Man, Helena just keeps getting kidnapped.

Is Paul a clone?

Ohhh! Mark is the clone!!

What is it that Sarah will never forgive Siobhan for? Having Helena kidnapped?

The Wire S05E10 "-30-"

They've already got to the Mayor with this thing?

I appreciate that Kima was the one to rat, because it's the first action she's taken that's really affected other characters. But I wish they'd built up her motivation a bit more.

This courthouse leak thing could maybe have been more interesting.

Why didn't they offer Rawls a State Police position earlier?

Oh good! We do get to see Prez this season

 He's got a beard!

I want to believe Dukie, but I just don't.

Oooh, Jay is going to be pissed if he finds out and nobody told him.

I think this elevator CCTV camera shot may have been the only camera footage shot this season.

Oh! Is Templeton going to kill this guy??

The two things about the newspaper arc that I like are Gus and the story being written about Bubs.

He's not a bad lawyer, I'll give him that.

"You got paid, too." Rawls has a point.

Another dead cop? Who's this one?

Oh, is it McNulty? Cute.

Oh Lester still is from that woman from the first season.

Where's Kima? Why wasn't she at the wake?

Is anything else going to happen, or are the last 20 minutes all epilogue?

Nice moment between Daniels and Carver.

So who's the acting commissioner?? Landsman?

Hahahhahaha, Valchek is the commissioner? Ha.

So what happens to McNulty?

The Wire S05E10 "Late Editions"

Are there roller coaster shots in the opening credits just because of that ONE amusement park scene? They don't go back there?

"Be creative, gentlemen." Bunny was creative. That didn't work out too well for him.

Nobody told Marlo that Omar was calling him out??

Marlo's "My name is my name" scene is the most fired up I've seen him and the most I've given a shit about him.

Namond?? He sure cleaned himself up!

I don't like the goatee on Bunny.

Is Kima going to rat out everyone?

Is Bubs going to speak about Sherrod?

Bubbles is one of the most consistently compelling characters on the show.

If Michael gets killed, will that leave Dukie to take care of Bug? Or will he have to go back to his mom?

I do like that Snoop asked how her hair looked before she got shot.

Was I ever supposed to care about Michael?

So is the finale going to be all fallout from stuff that just came up this season? It seems like all of the long plots have been wrapped up already.

The Wire S05E08 "Clarifications"

Oh don't look so smug, McNulty.

I thought the story about the vet was the one true thing that Scott wrote.

!!!!!!!!!!
Who the hell is this kid that just shot Omar?????

That's it? Omar's dead? Who was that kid??

Oh, Scott embellished. Of course, Omar just got shot and then they cut over to this bullshit and I couldn't care at all about this newspaper.

(Well, Gus is all right.)

So the only way to make Kima relateable is to make her a womanizer like McNulty?

There are only a couple episodes left, so where are they going with this serial killer thing? Will McNulty get caught?

Even The Wire falls into the trap of making the FBI look like buffoons to make the police look better.

Sigh. Omar's murder doesn't even get a write-up in the paper.

So far, the only people they've shown being negatively affected by the serial killer thing is the alleged victims' families.
