J/DB’s 12 Days of Lists – Day 8 – Best Deaths
A whole year of TV is a lot to take in when talking about a major action like a death. We lost lots of characters over the year, considering it encompasses the end of the last season and the start of a new one, but here are my top 3. (Warning, totally spoilery)
Tory – Battlestar [...]
J/DB’s 12 Days of Lists – Day 10 – Most Indicitave Hair
Welcome to Day 10 – Top Three Most Indicative Hair Changes of 2009
He may be slightly late-great now but Raising the Bar’s Jerry Kellerman’s hair was the Felicity of the season. One way to start things off with a bang is to take a running joke and character indicator and cut it off. Our beloved [...]
J/DB’s 12 Days of Lists – Day 12 – Influential Movements in TV 2000-2009
Well it’s that time of year again! JDB’s 12 days of … something. Last year we had fun counting the 12 ways Claire Bennett was related to Santa Clause. If you weren’t with us last year, be sure to check that out. But this year we decided to go with something we love here on [...]
Likeness or Bust for TV Fans
We’ve all seen false advertising, like a picture of a Big Mac not all falling apart with the shredded lettuce drooping out the side with the special sauce, but none affects fandom like the conceptual sketches for collectibles. As of recent years, the tv character mini-bust has become increasingly popular? well at least increasingly produced [...]
This Post Sucks
We here at JDB are big fans of both lists and holiday theme posts, so I figured I’d make up a list of my favourites of a monster type on TV. Saying as there aren’t a lot of werewolves or zombies and ghosts are lame, I went with the Vampyr. I even did my best [...]
I Love it When a Really Bad Plan Comes Together
We interrupt this regularly scheduled Fan Expo lack of postness to bring you something I wanted to mention from this week’s ep of True Blood: the plan Jason, Andy and Sam come up with on the fly to save Sam. This was possibly the funniest scene of the show to date for me (off the [...]
Jerk’s ‘Things I Was Not Expecting’ #4: The Games Vampyr
By the time I got through last week’s ep of True Blood, I’d completely forgotten about the bit with the Fellowship of the Sun’s anti-vampire boardgames. The first game Sookie picks up, Jesus Christ Vampire Exterminator seems like a pretty clear homage to one of my favourite Canadian indie films (and probably the most obscure [...]
DoubleBitch Makes Friends
But they DO get together to talk about the most recent episodes of True Blood.
This past week I had the pleasure of taking part in The Televixen’s True Blood Podcast. We had a lot of fun talking about what’s up with Maryann, the mental stability of Sarah and Bill’s new babysitter.
Be sure to check [...]
Dear Sookie,
When you’ve gone undercover and you read the minds of the people whom you are trying to trick, if you find that they know exactly who you are then perhaps continuing the (clearly failed) ruse and travelling further into the enemy building isn’t the best option. Especially when you’d gleaned the information you were sent [...]
Bit of a Rant on True Blood and Episode Endings
I’m quite enjoying the new season of True Blood, but there’s one tiny aspect that’s changed for the worse. The first season had really awesome cliffhangers on every single episode, as well as a really cool stylistic thing where the next episode would pick up at the exact second where the previous episode ended, continuing [...]
