Yesterday I watched the 5th Season finale of Dexter. I loved it!
(CAREFUL! Contain spoilers!)
I thought this season took a while to really start, but once it did, I really liked it, his relationship with Lumen, and the way it developed was great! for me it was kind of obvious she wouldn't stay, they were so great together that if she did his life was going to be so perfect I don't think the series could go on as exciting as it has... What they can explore now and that can get really interesting is his relationship with his sister, since she kind of "approved" what he did and saved him, even though she didn't know it was him all along...
I'm already curious for what is to come on the next season!
First of all, for those who never heard of True Blood (IMDb: 8.7, i♥movies: 7.9), it is a very well-known and well-ranked series based on the a book series called the Sookie Stackhouse novels (1st: Dead Until Dark, 2nd: Living Dead in Dallas, 3rd: Club Dead, etc.) by Charlaine Harris. It tells the story of the bairmaid Sookie Stackhouse who can read people's minds. In her world vampires exist and they "came out of the coffin' on national television two years earlier when japanese scientists developped a synthetic blood called Tru Blood, which allowed vampires to survive without feeding on human beings. Of course the situation is not that simple nor peacefull. It is a very good and original story, the idea always seemed very interesting to me... Come on, synthetic blood for vampires? LOL. I have already read some books of the series (until the 5th by now) and I liked the series, eventhough I was shocked at the first episode by how explicit it can get, but then I just got used to it and enjoyed... (Watch the series promo underneath).
Third season poster
Yesterday I watched the last epidose of True Blood's third season... So I will comment now on my thoughts of this season (be carefull, it may contain spoilers!). I think I can say this was the season I liked less of the three... Maybe because I was expecting something a bit different, due to the books. I think the story is getting further from the original. Not that it is a bad thing, Dexter for instance completly diverged from the books at the end of season 1, it has nothing to do with the books anymore but I love both stories... However, in True Blood's case, it is not that it is bad, it is just that I don't have a clear picture yet of where it is going... The first season was pretty true to the first book, the second a bit different, eventhough the background story was the same, but this third one is rather different, again some elements are the same, it even has some things we will only learn later in the books. I am very confident though that I have this opinion because I have read some of the books, I truely think that for people who either didn't read the books or read them all, wouldn't feel like this. I still strongly recommend this series for everyone eventhough I know some won't like it!
*Anxiously waiting for season 4!*
PS: Just found out that Jessica (yes, Jessica, not the actress) has a videoblog... It's so funny! Check it out!
Yesterday I watched what was supposed to be the end of the Persons Unknown series... Here is the trailer for this new show, as I said it was supposed to be a mini-series, but because of its success and its ending, I'm pretty sure there will be a continuation, even because if you go to the official site they've named the last episode that aired as "season finale" instead of "series finale" as it usually is when the series is over... Besides, they enumerate the episodes as 101, 102, etc. instead of 01, 02, etc.... So let's wait for their official annoucement and hope there's a new season coming up!
If you've never watched or heard about the series, here is a description and the trailer... It's very interesting and well developed (at least it has been so far!) :P
A group of seven strangers must come together to solve the puzzle of their lives. All of them have been taken from their everyday lives and have arrived in a deserted town with no recollection of how they got there.While being held hostage, the strangers are constantly watched by omnipresent "security" cameras with no idea who or what is behind them. Every attempt to leave is thwarted by unforeseen circumstances, which seem to derive from mysterious forces. At every turn, these strangers-turned-comrades are threatened physically, psychologically and emotionally. Their chance at survival is to rely on each other. But who can they trust in this vulnerable state - either behind those cameras or amongst themselves? Their decisions will have moral and ethical consequences, as alliances are forged and relationships brokered. (Official site)
