In TV: True Blood - Season 3 Episode 3

So once again, I won't spoil anything, just a quick review of the episode.  So let's start with the positives.  Whoever HBO hired as a new stylist for the show deserves a medal of honor!  Everyone looks so much better this season!  The hair, the makeup, the clothing, it's all working.  The second great thing is Alcide, yum! I'm glad he finally made it on the show.  Now for the negatives.  I'm actually pretty disappointed in the episode and hopefully it's not the direction this season is taking.  David and I were discussing, and I think he's right; they are rushing through too many separate story lines too quickly that they can't do them properly.  The ending is absolutely absurd.  Just sayin'.

In TV: True Blood Season 3 Episode 1

Well, I'm not going to give anything away, so no need to worry if you haven't seen it yet.  The fact of the matter is, I finished season two yesterday, realized it was the premiere of season 3, so I called Direct TV and ordered HBO.  The first episode continued in the story just mere moments after the last episode from season 2.  With that being said, the episode itself was more of a precedent setting episode than an action episode.  Still, it had enough action and intrigue and of course, a cliffhanger ending like all the rest.  So let's see, Sookie's in trouble, Bill's in trouble, Jessica's in trouble, Eric's in trouble, Lafayette's in trouble, Jason's in trouble, need I go on?  This season is shaping up to be a BIG one.  Alan Ball says this will be the best season yet!  Can't wait!
