And the Oscar Goes to.....

That face - that's how I felt listening to Gretchen yippet on and on about how great, and then how vile the designs she masterminded were. Even Korspants looked like he was about to die of boredom and he is used to looking at his own clothes for hours at a time!

Also, every TV show needs a Tim Gunn. We can clone now, yes?

The win of Peggy

Lolarious.

Peggy has been wonderful this season. A few blips, notably the rather odd emotional reaction to Pete and Trudy's baby news but we'll let that pass. I love seeing her find her social place, making friends, gaining her own personality and style. Seeing her struggle has been interesting, trapped between being a trailblazer and wanting the traditional trappings of 50's and 60's womanhood - marriage, babies, a chain between you and the kitchen sink. Her new friends might be annoying but it's great to see the funny side of Peggy.

All Gore....All the Time

Srsly.

Can True Blood get any bloodier? Is it some sort of theme? Last season we had sex, this season exploding vampires, entrails and spurting arteries. 

Can we have the sex back please?

Lie To Me

I was going to start with "when good shows go bad" but I would not actually go that far. Maybe "when middlingly average shows go bad" would be more appropriate.

What's happening? I know, it's hard for a procedural to keep up the interest, to not meander down the road of weekly recycling the same story. But I had such high hopes! More fool me I suppose. It started so well, interesting idea, decent cast. It's not lasted long - the interesting idea, that is. It seems to have descended into a 40 minute reel of Tim Roth being cockney, a baddie of the week/issue of the week and the perfunctory quick clip of the minor characters. When the series started, they were showing us more to Torres, to Loker. Even Gillian gets no character development these days. We spend more time pondering Emily and her various dates than we do on those three combined. It feels like they are constantly airing episodes out of filming order and please, can someone tell me, WHAT happened to the FBI guy that Torres was dating (living with?)?

The last episode was so bad I only managed to watch 15 minutes before I switched over. Not sure if I will be bothering again.....
