Posting this late due to the holidays. Most most sincere apologies, I know how depressed and unfulfilled you must have felt without it. But rejoice for here it is, a recap of the last of sweeps.

Terminator: Strange Things Happen at the One Two Point

Ok, this week’s Sarah Connor Chronicles was kind of just ok. You know? The main plot line – that whole Dakara chip thing was eh. Although, you do kind of have to love the whole Stargate shoutout – starring Netan with the company named after the Jaffa capital. Good times. But still, that whole thing… was kinda boring, fund raising companies? That isn’t exciting material as far as I’m concerned. I mean, it was kinda funny when they busted in on the actor and what not but overall, I wasn’t feeling it.

I liked when Cameron was poking the g-man’s lawn and when he shines the light in her face she’s all “go back to sleep.” Which I suppose he does. The whole Riley/Jesse thing, though, is really good. Thank god, something really interesting seems to be brewing on that front because I like both those characters but they didn’t really seem to be going anywhere, other than providing a foil for mom Connor. And of course the return of Cromartie, a little dramatic and predictable, but still pretty good. I’m down to see what’s up next.

True Blood: You’ll Be The Death Of Me

Well that’s it. Season Finale. Sigh. We’ll see if they actually make it back on next summer, I hope they do. The finale was good, not great. Obviously the big story was Rene finally trying to finish the job. Man, that guy was awesome. Awesome. It sort of blew my mind when he dropped the accent. I wish everyone spoke in that accent. For realz. They played that whole thing very well, if you ask me. Obviously he wasn’t going to kill the Sooks, but still it was pretty durn tense. But the gross bits of naked dog Sam getting the crap kicked out of him and then bacon bits Bill burning up and getting carried by naked Sam. Well, that’s pretty damn over the top.

The big question for me is what has befallen Lafayette. I doubt he’s off the show, but something untoward seems to have befallen him. It’d be something if he came back a vampire, but I don’t know if they’d do that. I guess 6 months and we’ll know. I also like the Maryann business, what’s up with her vibrating with the pig? Is she a shifter, too? Is there some kinda greater shifter society also? Her connection with Sam and his safe full of cash. Lots of interesting stuff going on – they really made a huge effort to pack this episode full of cliff hangers, which is part of the problem with the episode. In some ways it was like a mid-season show that is just setting up for future events. Ah well, I suppose a show’s gotta do what a shows gotta do.

I guess last week in sweeps they get to take it a little easy – they already got you and they don’t need to keep you around for next week. Ah well, it was a good run. At least Terminator’s still going if not True Blood and Entourage. Sigh.
