The penultimate episode of True Blood is dark, predictable and meh. I wasn’t surprised, appalled nor did I learn much of anything that will help wrap up this season with a neat bow.

Totally Charmed at Chicago Comic-Con – Super Hero Flying is Not What It Is Cut Out to Be
I ventured for the first time to the 2012 Chicago Comic-Con, otherwise known as Chicago’s Wizard World. Attendance figures have not been released but the event, held at the Donald P. Stephens Convention Center), was packed. Having attended San Diego’s Comic-Con last month, I felt right at home seeing excited fans in costumes and a full day of programming events.

The future is unknown… Review: Falling Skies, S2 Finale “A More Perfect Union”
While I believe there are Skitters who want to be free of the oppression of the humanoid overlords, I think they may have their own agendas once the overlords are defeated. After learning from the Skitters that the overlord is creating some sort of weapon, it makes me wonder if the Skitters are leading the 2nd Mass into an ambush.

The Shit Hits the Fan, in More Ways Than One. Review: Episodes – “Episode 208”
“Episode 208” hits the mark. The dialogue is witty and sharp as usual, and the acting by each and every actor is spot on, especially Greig and Mangan. I adore them together.

Goodbye, Ryan? Review: Lost Girl – “Fae-nted Love”
Who can blame Kenzi for being upset with Bo for lying about Ryan? It takes “verbal apology number 85” to get Kenzi to forgive her but then all is well, and a major block in communication is broken down.

“…tapped it and scrapped it” Review: Wilfred, S2 “Service”
“Service” is a bit better than last week’s episode, but just barely. While there were early chuckles, thanks to the much underutilized Rob Riggle who plays Kevin, one of Ryan’s (Elijah Wood) co-workers, the rest of the humor, or shall I say attempts at humor, were sort of lost on me. Perhaps in a later episode, we’ll learn the reason behind Wilfred’s (Jason Gann) strange…diet, if you will.

Interview PART 2 with Mark Lewis, Series Producer of Syfy’s PARANORMAL WITNESS
This second half of the interview speaks about an upcoming episode based on true events entitled “The Dybbuk Box.” It’s rumored that the Dybbuk Box is a Jewish wine box that houses an evil spirit. I’m very anxious to see what Mark and his team come up with in the episode.

A Long Con or a Change of Heart? Review: White Collar – “Honor Among Thieves”
Neal has spent his life working angles in order to survive. In many ways, he’s like the mobile by Pascal that is the artistic centerpiece for this heist. The mobile is about perception – modern art that some might dismiss as trash while others declare it priceless. Its beauty is in its constant motion—always shifting, turning, catching angles of light so that each time you look at it, you see something slightly different. Neal has mastered the art of perception, making people see in him what he wants them to see, and it’s only recently that he’s questioning that visibility.

More bad mushrooms? Review: Warehouse 13, S4 “There’s Always a Downside”
Artie is on edge and doing something we haven’t seen in a long while, switching up the teams. He’s putting Myka and Jinks together, leaving Claudia and Pete to form a new dynamic duo. One of the cases gives a whole new meaning to the term ‘losing your marbles.’

“Your mother scares the crap outta me, man!” Review: Grimm, S2, “Bad Teeth”
“Bad Teeth” picks up a little from the season one finale where Nick (David Giuntoli) comes face to face with his mother, Kelly (guest star Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio). And someone sends a vicious Mauvais Dentes to Portland to track down Nick and the coins.

Play dead or fight? Review: Falling Skies, S2 “The Price of Greatness”
The 2nd Mass gets a hero’s welcome when they arrive in Charleston, the new capital of the new United States. But the bountiful meal and standing ovation are mere pretenses and things get very real, very quickly. What the 2nd Mass hoped would be a new mecca is nothing more than a haven for cowards.

Review: True Blood “Gone, Gone, Gone” Now We’re Heading in the Right Direction!
So, as “Gone, Gone, Gone” begins, we find the fictional world where True Blood exists has changed for the worse. And I have to admit, it rings true throughout the entire 50 minutes that follow.

The Price of Fame. Review: Episodes – Episode 207
“Episode 207” gives us a good mix of comedy and drama as Beverly (Tamsin Greig) deals with her new life, and Matt (Matt LeBlanc playing himself) has to face up to his weight problem. Carol (Kathleen Rose Perkins) pretty much sums up the issue—“We need hot Matt, not fat Matt.”

Truth – I miss Wilfred from season 1. Review: Wilfred, S2 “Truth”
A show of hands — who is disappointed with season two so far? I had to put both my hands up because I’m disheartened at how much this show has taken a turn for the…deep. Deep, as in the writers are diving too deep into the psyche of the characters and focusing less on the amazing dark comedy showcased in season one.

Burned. Review: Lost Girl – “The Girl Who Fae’d With Fire”
The next scene is like a loud echo of the scene in the film Mystic Pizza, where Julia Roberts’ character tells off her rich boyfriend for using her, “a poor Portugue,” to get back at his wealthy family. Other than Fletcher and Val being snobby and haughty toward humans, they believe that Fae should not coexist with humans, as Hale believes they should.

Review: True Blood “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” So Will It Be Bill or Russell?
The liberties taken by the writers in True Blood illustrate just how off the mark the show has become. I won’t say all the deviations haven’t been interesting, because some of them have, but I wonder what this season would have looked like had Eric and Sookie spent more time figuring out the dynamic of their relationship.
