Good-Bye True Blood (no spoilers)

  Sunday night we said our final good-bye to the cast of True Blood and I can't help but think back to the previous six episodes. Season 1 we saw Sookie and Bill fall in love. It was a sweet beginning in the midst of all hell breaking loose. Season 2 introduces us to Jess, who Bill has turned into a vampire. She has a difficult time dealing with the fact that she's a creature of the night. We also find out Sam is a shape shifter.

This short story is something not to miss, especially if you're a fan of vampires that are unique and not of the friendly variety. Our main charact[...]

  Let's begin with those freaky spiders in the beginning. I mean, come on! There nothing scarier than a woman praying while a spider crawls down her arm. Of course it would induce a grand eye rolling session! "Unbridled pleasures of youth." Now that sums up dear old Ethan Chandler. He drinks to excess and has sex with a stranger all within the first 10 minutes of the show. Still, he's intrigued by Vanessa Ives and follows her into the depths of an underground Opium den for a job. This all leads to Sir Malcolm, who is in search of his daughter. Cue the[...]
