Well, it's that time of year, time for our favorite bloodsuckers to return...and return they did. And I must say what a welcome return it is. It seems like forever since we have seen these guys.
We open to find Sookie sharing some quality time with her Fairy friends and boy does she get a surprise when someone from her past happens to show up. Well, things for Sookie turn from good to bad, as often they do, and suddenly we find ourselves transported to some point in the last Harry Potter movie as wicked magic is being cast about left and right.
Sookie gets back home only find everything has changed and for everyone else it is a year later. Most shocking of all is that brother Jason has grown a goatee that I'm not sure yet makes him hotter or not.
We find that Tara has been busy making friends. Tara also has been trying to find herself through the ancient art of Mortal Combat and her own verison of blood sports.
Lafayette has been exploring sober life of partnership bliss with Jesus who looking for some wicked Hoodoo any place he can get it.
My personal favorite couple, Jessica and Hoyt are finding that in "young love", love is not always all you need, especially when one of them is a thirsty new vampire.
Oh Yeah, that whole Sookie, Bill and Eric story is still going on, but really, it wasn't really important. What was important is that Pam got some good air time and some awesome one liners. After all isn't that why we really watch the show?
In the end, everyone pretty much got some good screen time. Alcide is missing which is a shame, but I'm sure with all the adverts he's been in he will show up soon. Sam was there, but he was grumpy again, I'm really not liking him. I liked when he was sweet Sam, not I hate the world Sam.
All in all, it was a great premiere throwing you right in the middle of everything and letting the chips fall as they will...which is what the show is be at. The dark campiness hasn't left the show which is what makes it unique and fun. I for one can't wait to bite into the meat of season four!!
Well, it's being reported that AMC will be making the Walking Dead comic into a new tv series. I for one can not wait. This is one of the best books out there and would make a great show. Now my only concern, are they going to water it down because it's AMC? One would hope that Robert Kirkman will now allow it. We'll have to wait and see.
Torchwood has been the dark brooding stepchild of Doctor Who since the beginning. With this special mini series (which, from what I've heard, is how all future seasons will run) that darkness has deepened to new and surprising depths. This show just got better and better with each episode. In episode 4 when you think the story is going to be wrapped up in a typical Doctor Who fashion, everything comes crashing down into a bleak chilling doom. The characters in Torchwood learn that they are not the Doctor and they cannot solve their problems in the same way. Their final decisions in episode 5 lead to life changing actions that will not be able to be undone. 
One of the best scenes is the governments of the world deciding what to do to solve their problem. Do they sacrifice the lives of millions to save billions? You are there in this and you can't just pass off judgement on these officials. As in the end you can't just pass judgement on Captain Jack for what he must do to save the human race. This was great television. Thought provoking and well written. In other word, everything British television tends to be and everything American television so often fails to achieve.
