Sex and the City: Politically Erect (2000)
Golden showers and short kings
This episode is objectionably bad towards men, which this show does quite often, but it softens the blow with jokes and humor that make it not seem so.. mean. Charlotte throws a man swap type of party, which is a bit painful to watch. Miranda makes a pros and cons list about Steve, which feels bad since he's such a sweetie. Samantha underestimates a man because he's short, which seems pretty superficial. And Carrie, well she actually has a pretty decent talk with her partner about his fetish without judging him but it still doesn't end well for them. There's something very judgemental about this episode that makes me wary to enjoy it, yet I still thought it was funny in spite of it's obvious flaws. The characters act as we expect they would, and honestly, it could've been worse. So overall I'd say this is a stereotypical topical entertaining episode.
Sex and the City: Shortcomings (1999)
Mismatches all around
This episode didn't feel very cohesive to me. Each girls subplot was so different from each other that the episode title "Shortcomings" still feels like too loose (and a bit cruel) of a term to connect them all. And all of the relationships in the episode just made me feel.. bad. They were all so wrong and marred by lack of proper communication. And this show does it a lot where it takes a somewhat normal or common dating issue and acts like it's a major insurmountable problem. Sometimes it's humorous but in this episode it was more annoying than anything. I felt like I was cringing for the majority of this episode and if I rewatch this show again in the future I think I might just skip this one.
Fringe: Earthling (2009)
A Broyles episode
Lance Reddick is such a strong character as Agent Broyles. This episode puts him a bit more in the forefront as we get more backstory and purpose out of him. I also enjoy getting to know the side characters better, especially in the case of Broyles since he is a majorly important part of Fringe Division and we really don't see much of him beyond administrate duties. The plot for this episode is well done too and is a nice break from the intense main plot of the show, a good little filler episode you could say. I thought the special effects were neat and while the science was still very pseudo, it was an interesting concept. I liked this episode quite a bit and had a good time watching the team work through the mystery with a few spooky and tense scenes thrown in there too.
Fringe: The Road Not Taken (2009)
Where are we going from here
I am a skeptic of this show, as the pseudoscience drives me insane every single episode, but what keeps me coming back are the characters. This episode has a phenomenal scene between Olivia and Walter that is very emotional and heartbreaking and an absolutely stellar performance by the actor who plays Walter. We also get a fun cameo by Clint Howard, made even better as he plays a star trek obsessed conspiracy theorist. As for the plot of the episode, it does a lot of setting up for some major things that are currently very confusing and strange and complicated. Quite typical for this show. I'm not sure I like where this is going because I fear we may end up too far into the realm of the pseudo part of pseudoscience and it will become too hard to follow. That being said, this episode was still well done. The acting was good, the special effects and cinematography were good, the plot was a bit subpar in my opinion but it seems like the case was not the main focus of the episode and served more as a driver to get us into the big season one finale.
Fringe: Midnight (2009)
The vampire episode
The episode starts out dark and edgy, which is a nice change of pace for this sci-fi show leaning into the more horror themes and tropes of "hunting" in a pulsating nightclub. The focus for the rest of the episode though is a bit more scientific, but obviously not any real world science as I had many questions that were answered with a simple Google search that could easily discredit the entire episode. Besides that, we also are introduced to an incredibly important character who blows the ZFT case wide open at the very end of the episode (although what he says really isn't all that shocking if we're being honest). There's some themes of love, sacrifice, and redemption discussed as well that are almost tasteful if they weren't so frustratingly obvious and inconvenient. For me this was a bit of an annoying episode to watch because they seemed so close to something big and it felt like it slipped away and they got the bare minimum instead. In short, it didn't feel like a success story, leaving me disappointed, but I'm sure it's intentional so they can drag out the story by dangling small details in front us to keep us watching. Sidenote there's some animal testing in this episode that resulted in a dead lab rat and what looked like a cut open dog? Not a big fan of animal mutilation stuff so be warned.
Three Pines: White Out - Part 2 (2022)
Rough
I did enjoy this episode but it was pretty difficult to understand the motivations of the characters for me. The aunt being willing to take the fall for murder was perhaps the most believable thing here, but it still seemed pretty shaky. The daughter killing CC wasn't really that surprising, since she seemed to be the one most hurt by CC out of all the suspects, but the fact that they figured out it was her based off CC's boots is a bit of a stretch. Other people in town could have known about the boots CC wears, and just because the aunt didn't mention it in her video confession doesn't mean she didn't know about it. It's like they solved the mystery but it's still not a fun or happy ending. And then the family of Blue was acting so strange to me. The police gave them evidence of Blue being alive and their response was, "no she's dead, if she was alive she would have called us", and then getting mad that the police aren't doing anything? They don't ask the police to track Blue down and get a picture or interview or anything, they just assume she's dead? After 13 months of Blue being missing, it just seems like odd behavior to be mad at police when they bring evidence of Blue being alive. And Blue's mom jumping off the roof of the police station is absolutely ridiculous. She was so adamant about finding her daughter that she was waiting in the freezing cold, but for some reason now she decided she didn't want to know what happened to Blue? Feels like a very cheap shot that was only included for shock value, and it practically ruined the whole episode for me. This show is pretty dark and dramatic so I don't really expect any of the characters to act very realistically, but this was rough.
True Blood: Turn! Turn! Turn! (2012)
Just another episode of this insane show
For a season premiere this episode didn't feel any more interesting or special than any other episode we've seen so far. Particularly because there are so many storylines and so many things happening that it's hard to do anything new at this point. This episode had it's funny and weird moments and threw in some new plotlines, but there were also some continuing plotlines from previous seasons thrown in too. It's hard to predict where this season's gonna go, but there's one character that went through a major transformation and that's really the only plot that I think will be interesting, so hopefully they do some good things with that.
Will Trent: Nothing Changed Except for Everything (2023)
Very solid episode
This episode jumps between present time and the 80s, which I thought added a really nice narrative and background to the current plot and the characters themselves. I'm really curious to see how this plotline plays out because it's really putting the characters in the center rather than being about random people. It has some predictable moments and there are a couple instances where I would say the characters make dumb decisions, but it's nothing too rash or annoying. The episode's title is so poetic and pretty fitting for this episode, especially with the time jump and the dormant serial killer. It's nice to have some tension and learn more about the characters while there's a mystery to solve. I really enjoyed this episode overall and think it's very solid and interesting.
True Blood: And When I Die (2011)
Why. Just why.
Why anything happens the way it does in this show is an absolute mystery to me. This whole episode was a nonstop dumpster fire. For a season finale it went in way too many directions and ended up being very non-cohesive. I'm also annoyed by the revolving door of characters. I can't believe they killed off Lafayette's Jesus when he had so much potential as a character. And this show is no stranger to death impermanence because Lafayette can speak to dead people so it's like Jesus isn't really even gone. What a joke! And before dying, Jesus passed his demon onto Lafayette or something like that, what a nice parting gift. We also didn't get to see how Marnie captured Bill and Eric and managed to tie them up so she could burn them. I would've liked to see how that happened, especially since Marnie was in Lafayette's body with a demon creature now. Marnie's entire subplot of the episode was boring and the only purpose it seemed to serve, besides killing Jesus, was to show that Sookie still misses Gran and so Sookie could (finally) break up with Bill and Eric (wonder how long that will last). Then because it was Halloween this episode, the veil between the living and dead was weaker. Which means Arlene saw Rene's ghost and he warned her of Terry. I really hope they don't ruin Terry's character because he seems like such a good sweet guy. Jason told Hoyt that he slept with Jessica so now there's bro drama. And I guess Jason and Jessica are friends with benefits now? Wolves show up at Sam's door since he killed an alpha, no surprise there. The head vampire lady goes to Bill and Eric saying she wants to start a revolution or something and they kill her for saying they have puppy dog eyes for Sookie. I wish they had actually heard her out because a vampire rebellion sounds mildly interesting. Alcide found out that vampires dug a hole in some concrete and left behind chains, so I wonder what (or who) they dug up. And the episode ends with Sookie shooting Debbie in the face with a shotgun after Debbie shoots Tara in the head. Lovely. What a dumb way for Tara to die after all this time. Pretty awesomely gruesome of Sookie to shoot Debbie tho. This whole season felt all over the place and this episode was no different. Some of it was wrapping up previous storylines and starting new ones but none of it felt like it had any clear direction or purpose, just a lot of miscellaneous plotlines.
True Blood: Soul of Fire (2011)
Predictable consequences and no consequences at all
The reason I feel like this show has no consequences is that the major characters constantly end up in life threatening situations but are completely fine. Like Eric and Bill deciding they'll commit suicide to save Sookie... Super dumb but okay. Of course they didn't die!! Pam got frustrated bc they were going to kill themselves so she lets off a rocket blast that horribly burns Jason. But does he die? Of course not!! Jessica gave him her blood and he was fully healed in an instant. The witches start luring the vampires to their deaths but do they die? Of course not!! Sookie breaks the witches circle and ruins the spell to kill the vampires. Then Marnie is mad at Sookie and traps her in deadly fire. But does she die? Of course not!! Lafayette and Jesus were performing a ritual in the bathroom to break Marnie's spell. And then the vampires come in and kill Marnie. Or do they? Bc her spirit jumps right into Lafayette! It's back to back life or death scenarios that fly by in an instant. At least Sam and Alcide were able to take out the bad wolf guy. And Alcide breaking up with Debbie was SO GOOD. Super dramatic but I loved it haha. Also Andy had some adult fun time with a random fairy in the woods, dunno how that's gonna come into play later but sure why not. To me this episode felt very dragged out with little of importance actually happening.
True Blood: Burning Down the House (2011)
An ill-fated episode
Did they seriously kill off Tommy without giving him a proper redemption arc? I think they kinda tried to redeem him by having him make a final stand to protect Sam, but it was so weak. The skin walker arc was so shortlived as well, which is unfortunate bc it had some major potential if they gave Tommy some real character development. I do appreciate Alcide standing up against his pack and helping Sam, even though I would argue that Tommy's death was more due to skin walking than to being beat up. This whole episode was so unfortunate honestly. Hoyt is heartbroken over Jessica and irritating. Debbie is losing it and might try to get pregnant by cheating on Alcide. Eric got his memory back so now Sookie is being weird towards him. I did enjoy Terry and Andy's subplot of getting Andy clean from V finally. Marnie is a bad guy now and not just possessed. The ending of the episode was pretty dumb bc Sookie, Tara and some others got poofed away by the witch lady for trying to escape. And now the vampires are planning on blowing up the witch hideout which I'm sure will go terribly.
Slasher: 6pm to 9pm (2019)
They should've just left
This episode felt a bit like a filler to me. The only really notable thing is that they arrested a guy for the druid killings but we know he can't be the current Druid because Violet and Joe get killed. Which felt so pointless to me because Joe had convinced Violet to leave and for them to go on vacation until the druid killings were over. And that's the only sensible thing these characters have ever thought, because I always wonder why they don't just leave when there's a killer on the loose. But when Joe goes to try to convince Angel to leave too, somehow Angel convinces Joe to stay instead?? Such nonsense. Some pretty gruesome gore in this episode with the death in the beginning and also Joe and Violet, so that's one thing this episode had going for it at least.
True Blood: I Wish I Was the Moon (2011)
Everyone is annoying
Wow these characters are out of control, I barely know where to start. I guess I'll start with the fact that humans can't be turned into were-people, and you just have to be born that way. Which is different from every werewolf lore I've ever heard in my entire life, but okay. So that means Jason is freaking out about turning into a werepanther on the full moon, so he runs away from Sookie into the forest by himself, but he's not even gonna turn.. And speaking of Sookie. In a previous episode, Gran told her to take care of Jason and to not fall in love with Eric. Well sorry Gran. Sookie didn't listen to you about either of those things. Sookie was out looking for Jason in the woods but completely abandoned the thought when Eric showed up. And whoa! They actually did it. And I'm not really happy about it. They just aren't a good pair to me and this doesn't even seem like an enemies to lovers trope because Eric lost his memories! It's just weird. And Tommy is a skinwalker and can transform into other people now because he killed his parents. So he turns into Sam and kinda makes a mess of things. That whole plotline wasn't even interesting or funny, it was just annoying and predictable and now I'm dreading the inevitable confrontation when Sam finds out. All the other characters were being mildly annoying too but these were the things that stuck out to me the most. I'm not really sure where they're gonna take things next, but after this I'm not entirely interested anyways.
Slasher: 9pm to 12am (2019)
Slow episode
This episode is basically about how the characters have lost all self preservation skills now that the police have somebody in custody for the killings. The problem is that the guy in custody isn't the druid! Though he might've been the one who killed Kit a year ago, that's still unclear to me because the guy is a little crazy. But since the characters think the druid is locked up, the three teens go to the party and keep splitting up from each other.. Like why did Jen keep going off by herself to get snacks? Just stick together, there's only three of you! And when Jen was alone she had a creepy encounter with Charlie who said he could do whatever he wanted to her. But she handled it well. Then Saadia went to the bathroom alone and somehow didn't notice Charlie standing in there with her? And he came up to her and sexually harassed her. But she handled it well. And then Charlie got killed by the druid, which kinda felt like poetic justice considering how creepy he was being. Dan and Angel lost their self preservation skills and went to a dark brick basement room alone after being catfished. If I got a random email saying to meet in the secluded dark room I don't think I would go as calmy and easily as those two did. They didn't even bring weapons to protect themselves, which seems kinda out of character for Dan honestly. And of course they get locked in the room with no way out and then the room fills with gas until they fall unconscious. Even though it seemed like a lot happened this episode, it felt like a slow watch, more like it was building to something rather than actually showing anything. And it's frustrating as the viewer knowing that the police don't have the killer and the teens are out running around.
Will Trent: Bill Black (2023)
Angie's storyline was great
In this episode I think Angie's story was 10/10, while Will's story was more like a 5/10, hence the overall 7 for the episode. Angie's storyline was actually pretty heart wrenching and shocking and definitely one of the most graphic scenes in the show so far. Will's story felt like filler to me and was much less interesting, even though it had it's own twists and turns as well. I think Will as an undercover agent just felt off to me and it seemed like that story wrapped up too nicely considering the intensity of the entire situation, but that's okay. Overall the episode felt pretty balanced and is worth a watch.
True Blood: If You Love Me, Why Am I Dyin'? (2011)
Off the mark
This season has been straying from logic and this episode is no exception. So Jessica bit another guy and felt all guilty about it and went to Bill for advice, and apparently being filmed biting someone is a literal death sentence for vamps now, but Jessica didn't get filmed thankfully and Bill tells her to be honest with Hoyt about what happened. So she went home and told Hoyt what happened and then when Hoyt got upset, Jessica immediately glamoured the whole thing out of his memory.. So what was the point of all the guilt and advice if she was just gonna take it back? At the end of the episode Sookie's fairy godmother came to bring Sookie back to the fairy world, but Sookie refused and Eric quickly attacked the fairy godmother. Sookie was not helpful and just stood at a distance telling Eric to stop instead of running over to save her fairy godmother, so the fairy godmother died. Which Sookie's reaction and Eric's response was pretty funny but I just felt bad for the fairy godmother so it seemed kinda off to me. Jason is becoming a breeder for the werepanthers, which is pretty yikes and uncomfortable. I know Sookie is busy with Eric losing his memory, but I wonder when she's gonna notice that her brother is missing? There's too much ridiculous drama going on, and while it is still pretty entertaining, it's walking a fine line towards being too annoying for me.
Slasher: 3pm to 6pm (2019)
Amy's story
Wow Amy is by far my favorite character ever written for this show, it's really unfortunate that she didn't get featured more. Her story starts with a car crash on her birthday as a child bc her dad answered the cell phone and looked away from the road. Which is paralleled by Amy hitting Kit with her car bc she was distracted by her cell phone on the night of the solstice. We also see a flashback of Amy hitting it off with Kit and beginning to discover that she might be asexual. And asexual representation is awesome and I actually think they did a good job of trying to express what it's like discovering that about yourself and the difficulties of explaining it to others, especially partners. Amy's partner Xander got really jealous of Amy's connection to Kit and we learn that Xander was the one in Kit's apartment on the solstice bc he was looking for evidence of Amy cheating. What a jerk. But also, I would like to know what Amy was watching on her VR headset. I'm starting to get confused about the druid bc Amy and Kit were talking about drilling a hole in the middle of your forehead to get high, and coincidentally that is the method that the druid used to kill Amy, and I just don't know how the druid would know about that. But Amy's death was really sad to me since she was actually a decent person unlike some of the other deaths and other ppl living in the building, and she was struggling after losing Xander and tried to cut her wrist. Just very sad and emotional. Overall I thought this episode did a great job with character development and transitioning between flashbacks and current time, as well as wrapping up some other plot points by discovering bodies and the police doing some investigating.
True Blood: She's Not There (2011)
Jumping the shark
This episode didn't just jump the shark, it grew wings and flew over it. I think Sookie being part fairy is a cool and interesting concept but they made it too weird with the fairy realm stuff. I guess the writers didn't want to show us what happened in a year so they skipped right to it through a very weird intro. So Sookie is in the fairy realm and meets her grandaddy there, who thinks he's only been gone a few hours but it's actually been 20 years, which sets the stage for Sookie's one year time jump since she was gone for like 15 minutes. She doesn't eat the magic light fruit so she sees goblin things that are trying to destroy the portal connecting the human and fairy worlds and has to jump into the portal but her grandaddy ate the light fruit so he can't stay in the human world and he dies? Idk it was just a lot. And then since time worked differently in the fairy world Sookie comes back and has to deal with all the changes that happened in a year. Which there were a lot of changes but none of them were really that interesting to me unfortunately. Bill is some public figure head vampire thing. Lafayette is joining a witch group that revived a dead parrot with his boyfriend Jesus. Sam shot Tommy in the leg and now Tommy is a good boy living with Hoyt's mom (omg lol). Sam has a group of shifter friends and they run around together as horses. Jessica and Hoyt moved in together but there's some tension between them over vampire/human behaviors. Tara left town and is a boxer going by the name Toni and dating a girl. Arlene had her baby and it rips the heads off of baby dolls when nobody is in the room. Andy Bellefleur is hooked on V. Jason is a cop and taking care of Crystal's family until they lock him in a freezer. Eric bought Sookie's house so now he can come in whenever he likes. And I'm sure I'm missing something else but dang they really threw a lot together. I would've preferred Sookie didn't time travel and we just got to see these developments happen but now we'll probably get flashbacks and deal with Sookie having to adjust to the new changes. Not a great start to the new season but it was still entertaining enough.
Nancy Drew: The Trail of the Missing Witness (2021)
An Ace episode
So Ace has been one of the best characters in this show but this episode did not showcase him well for me. The episode started off with a flashback of how Ace has been blowing off Grant the whole time Grant was trying to connect with him, which is not a good look at all. Then we find out Grant needs help bc his mom is being threatened. To save his mom the crew needs to hand over a list of witness names, which I really thought they would be smarter about this but they weren't. I was thinking they would change the names on the list or they also had the opportunity to get the bad guy arrested somehow, but instead Nancy asked Celia to retrieve the list after they gave it to the bad guy. Which they got the list back but how do they know the bad guy didn't make a copy or take a picture of the list before they got it back? Not to mention in exchange for Celia helping her, Nancy has to redact her statement against Everett Hudson. That really hurts Nancy's character to me bc now she's helping a mass murderer, but you would think there'd be enough evidence without Nancy's testimony to lock him up, but it's still very sketchy. We also find out that all of Everett's bad deeds were paid for through accounts that were in Ryan's name, which spells trouble for Ryan. The Ace and Grant brother stuff was awkward and cringey, but I did think it was sweet when Grant met his dad. We also got some sideplot on George connecting with her sisters bc of Odette and George finds out about Bess's thing for Odette. So it seems like Odette is having a positive effect on George's relationships? Overall it wasn't a bad episode, but the characters and mystery didn't really hit.
Nancy Drew: The Scourge of the Forgotten Rune (2021)
An "unforgettable" episode
This episode starts out a little confusing as Nick wakes up with amnesia and the crew has to figure out what happened, along with a murder popping up that Nick is somehow tied to. The murder victim was Aristotle, who was the tour guide for the historical society, which is kinda sad bc he was an interesting character that I hoped would be more recurring. The amnesia plot is important bc there is a monster that kills anyone who knows its name so the crew uses a memory erasing/restoring device from the historical society to keep themselves safe. It's pretty whacky how many times everyone is erasing their memories and then using notes to remember who they all are. Pretty funny and thankfully not too overdone. It turns out the way to defeat the monster is to have a lot of ppl know its name which makes it weak so the team created a social media campaign to spread its name! Which was pretty risky if you ask me, bc if that wasn't the way to defeat it then they would've just condemned a lot of ppl to death for knowing the monster's name, but yay it worked. Nancy also uses the memory device on Ryan Hudson's mom since she knows Nancy is Ryan's daughter. I really think this was a bad move and would make Nancy's relationship with her even worse but somehow everything is fine between them after the memories are restored.. Some other things that happened include Nick moving into Carson's old loft since Carson is moving back in with Nancy, and Grant the line cook turns out to be Ace's brother. This episode gets pretty shaky at times but it was still thoroughly entertaining and interesting.
Slasher: 9am to 12pm (2019)
Angel's story
This episode spent a lot of time on Angel, who was a character that I barely remember having any presence in the first episode. He's not great, and was dating Kit a year ago and was a weirdo and covered his shirt in Kit's blood after Kit died. There was also something about him giving Kit an aphrodisiac/drug on the night Kit died but idk how that plays into anything. And we have another example of cops not doing anything bc Angel gets hit in the head with a bottle by a homeless guy and needs stitches but the guy doesn't get arrested for assault... Then the guy goes and steals a sandwich from Xander's shop and I was surprised that Xander let it slide and didn't call the cops considering how uptight he is about his business. Xander also got killed this episode and I'm seeing a theme of a lot of face-based deaths since Frank's head was chopped off, Cassidy's face was melted off, and now Xander's face was turned into a coffee machine or something. Oh and speaking of Frank's head, the coroner found a cellphone shoved up in it, not sure what that means tho. Violet is terrible and tries to bank off of Frank's death and gets chewed out in the hallway. Then a video gets posted on her blog showing her husband cheating on her with Angel. This whole episode felt like a mess with a bunch of pieces thrown at us and no clear way to connect them. Hoping it gets better.
Nancy Drew: The Spell of the Burning Bride (2021)
What a weird episode
The episode started with a ghostly break-in that ended up being a very shortly lived mystery. Nancy and Detective Tamura worked together to find out who had the haunted wedding dress and stop her from murdering someone (and that someone was Nick ofc, bc it's always one of the Drew Crew that ends up in danger). And Nancy destroys the dress and inhales the dress's fumes, which make her very lustful. And then a good portion of the episode is just trying to keep Nancy from screwing every man she sees... I think the point they were trying to make is that there's nothing wrong with a woman being sexual but they took it to a weird level and didn't do a good job of making that point. We also got some weirdness about Bess potentially falling for the French ghost inhabiting George's body?? And then Ace has a meeting with his long lost half brother but they don't meet and Ace finds an old torn picture of his dad, so I'm not sure if that's a threat or where that plotline is going. The episode ends with the reporter lady telling Ryan Hudson's mom that Nancy is her granddaughter, which it's crazy how nobody knew that for 20 years and now suddenly everyone is finding out so easily, but I'm sure that news is going to cause some problems later on too.
Slasher: 6am to 9am (2019)
Brutal
The episode starts out with a stabbing death because of what I'm assuming is a mix of the bystander effect and people just not caring about others at all. Someone gets stabbed and screams and asks multiple ppl for help but gets none. And that seems to be the theme, these ppl are just awful. This season takes place on the one year anniversary of that stabbing, and it looks like the killer is now going after the bystanders. Very early on there's a decapitation and somehow pictures of the head start circling social media. Which is so messed up for ppl to be spreading violent pictures and I've never heard of anything like that happening in real life but maybe it does. As a result of the social media frenzy, ppl start calling the death a terrorist attack and the Muslim girl gets attacked at school. Which was also absolutely awful and so sad to see. I was pretty mad when the attacker girl was still in school later that day when she should have been suspended and charged with assault but I guess it was fine since she got killed in the school bathroom by having her face melted off in the toilet. So poetic. The gore this episode was pretty solid and held nothing back. It was a fine first episode and I think the goal was to make you mad, which it succeeded just fine at that, so in a way I'm rooting for the killer.
Nancy Drew: The Bargain of the Blood Shroud (2021)
Everybody's too emotional
Bess is still crying over being removed from the Marvin family, which is so ridiculous that I have a hard time feeling bad for her, and I feel even less bad when she's moping around being a couch potato while George's life is in danger. Gil was also being an awful character since he was willing to kill George to talk to some old guy that he thinks killed his mom. I just cannot fathom how he thinks that's a good idea at all. The mystery of his mom has been around his whole life and now he wants to kill somebody to get answers?? These are just bad and poorly written characters. I did enjoy the mystery of Gil's mom though, and thought it was fun that the answers were revealed in paintings. The next overly emotional character is Odette who tries to throw George's body off a cliff in order to be reunited with her long lost lover. Which is quite extreme but Nick and Bess talk her out of it after Nick says he would jump off the cliff after her. Overall it was a decent episode if not for the characters being over dramatic.
True Blood: Mine (2008)
Sex for everyone
This episode had more going for it besides sex but it seemed like every scene was referring to it, if not showing it directly. Even Sookie was having fantasies after trying to cut ties with Bill and asked her grandmother if she should listen to her head or her... heart? And it's pretty messed up that Sam and Tara slept together considering the employer/employee relationship and that Sam is in love with Sookie and sleeping with her bff could definitely cause problems later on. Dawn and Jason's thing was really messed up too bc Jason pretended to be a vampire and essentially raped Dawn?? I'm so glad that she chased him out of her house with a gun, even though she ended up dead after that, but I guess that's the mystery for next time.
