Summer Glau, Ryan Kwantan, Peter Dinklage, Danny Puddy, and Steve Zhan are all here in the first official trailer of “Knights of Badassdom”. I wrote about this a few days ago because I think – even though it’s a movie – this is some major TV great right here. I’m a self-confessed geek, if you’re...

Straight character goes gay in True Blood season 4

  Not that you can ‘go gay’, I use that term merely to illustrate a point, not as a factual thing. So one of the ‘straight’ characters is going to go gay in season 4 of “True Blood”, who it is is anyone’s guess at the moment, though if Perez Hilton is to be believed...

True Blood season 4 sneak peek

The start of this reminded me of a “Star Trek: The Next Generation” or “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” set… anyone else? Then it all went a little “Charmed”. I like the idea of the fairies, but this looked a little tacky, still it’s always nice to see Gary Cole back on TV. I’m really...

Ryan Murphy’s FX pilot “American Horror Story” just snagged actor Denis O’Hare. He’ll be starring opposite Connie Britton in the pilot. There really isn’t much information in the press releases.

Courtney Ford bounces from Dexter to True Blood

If you’re a fan of Dexter you’ll recognise Courtney Ford straight away as a key character in season four of that show. She’s got an interesting look to her – kind of like Olivia Wilde? – and she was great when she was in Dexter. Now Ford is headed to True Blood as Portia Bellefleur,...

Lois Smith joins Desperate Housewives

Lois Smith is awesome in terms of body of work, so Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry is pretty thrilled she’ll be joining the cast of Desperate Housewives in its new season.

Is True Blood still any good?

  I loved True Blood in season one, it was fresh, innovative and interesting, but then season two happened and I figured I’d stick with it despite the over the top weirdness, it was just lucky I like Michelle Forbes. Now it’s season three of True Blood and I find myself asking “do I really...
