You know when you’ve got something to do – say, a doctor’s appointment – in a couple hours, and you’re not quite sure what to do before it, so you just sort of mosey around and kill time? That’s what last night’s episode of True Blood felt like. Titled ‘Karma,’ the sixth episode of True

True Blood Season 7, Episode 5: Recap and Thoughts

True Blood Season 7, Episode 2: Recap & Thoughts

True Blood‘s seventh season premiere kinda bored me, which was surprising considering I expected the show to bust out all the stops right out of the gate – this being the final season, and all. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much of a momentum pick-up on this past Sunday night’s episode, which I didn’t get the chance

True Blood Season 7 Premiere: Recap and Thoughts

After nearly a year without the vamps, wolves and sweet southern mind-reader in our lives, True Blood made its return to HBO last night for the show’s seventh season, which is the last hurrah for Sookie and the gang. Once the 10-episode season comes to an end, so too does the series as a whole,
