Sookie. Walter White. Quality.

I never thought I'd start favoring television shows over film but clearly it's happening.

This is what I'm talking about . . .




True Blood: I Wish I Was The Moon.








1. Woodland sex-capades under a full moon; Sookie finally hits it. Nicely done. 

2. Pam, to Eric. "You are a Viking Vampire GOD! You bow to NO ONE!"

3. Sam's brother is gross; kill that story line, now.

4. Arlene, GET RID OF THAT DOLL!

5. This isn't nice (to Hoyt), but I for one, really want Jason to hook up with Jessica. You know they both want to.

6. Andy Bellefleur getting hot over the blond witch was kind of sweet. Dude definitely needs to get laid.

7. I don't really enjoy the witches, as I've said before, but girl deserves her revenge on the vampire that raped her. Just leave Eric and Pam out of it, yeah?

Lab Notes, Hank! LAB NOTES!

Breaking Bad: Open House.

1. Everyone is in turmoil, granted, but I *hate* seeing Hank so unhappy. It's making me really sad.

2. There was a really beautiful production sequence that I loved, just after the real estate agent noticed that a spoon was missing from the framed collection on the wall (which Marie stole). It starts with a sort of low, pulsing bass melody and just kind of goes on from there as they cut to the next scene, which is Jess Pinkman looping around the go-cart track, clearly an emotional wreck. Next he goes home and finds people screwing in his living room, spray painting the walls, and generally tweaking out. He walks in, looks around, and takes a seat right on the couch. It's not happy by any stretch, but the way his pain is portrayed is genius.

This show is what little shows want to be when they grow up (around here we call it "quality.")
