True Blood Sex and Violence Meter: Buried and Fairied

It’s been clear for the last few weeks, but last night’s finale drove it home: The third season of True Blood really should have ended with that episode where Russell makes his literally spine-tingling news appearance and provokes a full-out human/vampire war. Instead, the show’s follow-ups have mostly sidestepped that promising development, and all of the season’s plotlines either ran out of steam or were hurriedly shuffled away for abrupt character reboots that felt like an overeager jump on season four. The season began strong and laid out a lot of promising ideas, but that finale…well, let’s see how it fared via the Sex and Violence Meter, shall we?

James Cameron will produce the series adaptation of the Arnold Schwarzenegger/Jamie Lee Curtis action comedy, and the project is currently out to networks. Don’t blow this golden opportunity, Tom Arnold ! [ Deadline ]

Project Runway Recap: Cut My Life Into Pieces. This Is My Best Resort Wear.

That might be the first time I’ve started a Project Runway recap with a Papa Roach reference , but it won’t be the last. (Kidding.) Michael Kors harassed the designers into making resort wear in last night’s episode, and in a twist, Tim Gunn raised his arm like a sorcerer and made everyone pair up to sew each others’ garments. Ivy devolved into a shrieking hedgehog for a change, and some of the others were insufferable too. Let’s see how it all went.

Jersey Shore Fresh-to-Death Report Card: ‘Sleeping with the Enemy’
