True Blood: The madness continues


The summer has officially ended. Last Sunday was issued by the end of the third season of True Blood , the series that set the pace in recent summers seriéfilo. Highly irregular After twelve episodes, the season off with a right end that contains the right amount of fun and excitement, and yet demonstrates the many weaknesses of the series.

First, it is impossible to fit in a 50-minute episode about exorbitant number of major and minor frames. This is one of the shortcomings of True Blood, its extensive supporting cast, which are sometimes more attention of due. Of course, if you think about it, are secondary, as in many other series, that breathes real life into the series, and in this case, that offset the drowsiness they cause major characters like Bill and Eric for example. And therein lies another problem of the season, on the main characters and plots in which they have been involved this season. I do not know if the defect is found in the novels that are based on a series or bad treatment of the characters, but all the people of Bon Temps have reached an impasse. Fortunately, some characters seem to do something about it: Sookie disinvited Bill when he discovers that his love is the work of fate and leaves Tara willing Bon Temps to stop suffering. Of course this would not mean any change. Sookie will love Bill and we will keep holding the pots of Tara.


Jason is having fun, but Crystal-far the worst character this season, has spoiled his plot. Sam discovers the ultimate betrayal of his brother and goes after him, their relationship could be interesting, but for now it is not. Jessica and Hoyt are to live together, providing, as usual, gentler notes to the series, yet not boring, but might do so soon. Terry competes with the lovely Jessica and Hoyt crying because it does not cover how happy she is and how lucky you-but nobody cares. Lafayette has visions and Jesus tells him that is a witch, to which he responds with one of the best quotes of the episode: "You're a witch who's a nurse who's a dude." And Alcide returns, but do not remember if he does something remarkable. Guess not.

Alan Ball is in charge again and again to warn that the series is made for fun , without any claims beyond that. Okay, I assumed, and [many of us] get True Blood enjoy making it: a crazy outdated, excessive and wonderfully camp. However, there comes a time when this excuse to defend the series is outdated, and need something more. We need personajes que vayan a alguna parte, necesitamos sensación de cierre alguna que otra vez, necesitamos que los personajes sean interesantes. Por desgracia, no hemos obtenido nada de esto en la tercera temporada de True Blood .

"Evil Is Going On" resume perfectamente qué es True Blood : ocasionales momentos épicos dentro de una historia altamente fragmentada que va constantemente a la deriva. Es decir, una serie de usar y tirar. Esto no es del todo negativo, ya hemos dicho que cuando True Blood consigue divertir, lo hace a lo grande, y son precisamente esos momentos los que hacen que la serie merezca la pena. Eso y el ocasional secundario que eleva el grado de locura to unprecedented heights. If in the second season, the twisted and confusing MaryAnn dementia caused major OMFGs, in this, the revelation was Russell Edgington, the terrorist with more class. His "Now, time for the weather! Tiffany?" is one of those moments to which I referred, genuine phenomena on the internet, memes generated at two or three per episode. In "Evil Is Going On" is a crazy Sookie which overshadows a Russell in the past and offers us more hilarious moments: his evil laugh as he tosses the garbage disposal Talbot and his "You Watch Your Fucking Language!" . Sookie's Folly, an increasingly large "is for Anna Paquin me one of the biggest attractions of the series, more than enough reason to continue enjoying.

We can not deny the power of fascination of the series in the network, one of the main reasons why True Blood attracts a growing audience. Of course like all fads on the internet, it is likely that the number of Ball is quickly forgotten once completed. And this, after all, is part of his nature. "Evil Is Going On" leaves open too many frames, making more than a season-ending climax we are witnessing an episode of the half. To find out what happens after the numerous cliffhangers the episode, will have to wait another nine months. And for me, unlike what happened after the two previous seasons, not be so long.

How To Legally Get P90x For Free

One of two things: the new CW premieres


As is customary in recent years, The CW is the most applied string of U.S. television, opening the fall season before any other. At most anticipated returns, the second season of The Vampire Diaries began last week and tonight again Gossip Girl - are also two premieres: Nikita and Hellcats, who come to occupy the few free holes in their programming. The chain specializing in risk adolescents products, keeping your grill in the series that are already safe bet and betting on two new series that have absolutely nothing new to offer. However, after seeing the pilots of both, I decided to continue to watch over and save me the pain that I would see the other, not Gossip Girl left to continue wasting time with products even more deplorable. Let's see which is which, and the reasons for my decision.

Nikita

The new series of CW action is approached as a spin-off or sequel to the original film by Luc Besson, Nikita , hard to kill (The Femme Nikita, 1990), their remake American The killer ( Point of No Return, 1993) and the Canadian series starring Peta Wilson, Nikita (La Femme Nikita , 1997-2001), however, do not drink from these titles, something that far from being paradoxical, is entirely logical and expected. Beyond the main plot, you should seek your immediate reference on American television in recent years, and this leads directly to the excellent spy series from JJ Abrams, Alias \u200b\u200b , and the recent work of Joss Whedon frustrated, Dollhouse .

is evident from the first minutes of Nikita that this is not another set of teenagers the CW, or at least that seems to be the intention. The protagonist, an efficient but not outstanding Maggie Q, confesses to having 27, so the meat becomes geriatric by the standards of the chain. Supplement this 'deficiency' a young supporting cast, appropriately beautiful and terrible multiethnic-plus-players who make the series more easily be integrated into the editorial line of the chain, something absolutely necessary given the audience profile of the CW. To attract a more mature industry, we have members of the secret organization Division . Although from the beginning know that neither is Marshall Flinkman Birkhoff or Topher Brink, and Percy is Arvin Sloan or Adelle DeWitt. Lack of charisma can play all the characters very much against the series. Hopefully the presence of Melinda "Julie Cooper" Clarke will serve for something.

As mentioned, Nikita is a right mix between Alias \u200b\u200b and Dollhouse -what not to say that these are two works that make up a genre, of course. The first takes the style and staging, some sequences refer unmistakably to the pilot episode of Abrams. A Whedon series reminds us of the idea of \u200b\u200bbuilding and deconstruction of identity, the protagonist who rebels against the organization that created-by Nikita comes knocking the "ghost" in this episode, and of course the girl power -the girls save the world. We do not know if just for driving a material that has already been proved efficient, but the pilot Nikita, though not innovative in any way, presents a solid and well-structured story that has all the elements efficiently, and most importantly, they engage and entertain. The problem with these products is to find the right tone. And unfortunately, Nikita fails in this department. If the series does not take too seriously to itself, estaríamos ante un producto sobresaliente, y no uno que roza lo camp peligrosamente. Para averiguar si se sacará provecho del potencial de la historia y los personajes, me quedaré al menos un par de episodios más.

Hellcats

El reverso de la moneda de los nuevos estrenos de la CW es Hellcats . Esta serie se ajusta con mayor facilidad a la imagen de la cadena, con una otra historia sobre animadoras que no son lo que parecen... Ya desde los primeros segundos del piloto, Hellcats está condenada a la mediocridad más absoluta: un montaje epiléptico con imágenes de la ciudad de Memphis, banda sonora indie-rock and voice off the protagonist while we tour the city by bike. Marti Perkins takes the prize for the most odious character of the season with a couple of seconds on screen. What follows only confirms the hunches. Hellcats is hell.


Marti Perkins's story is rooted in the most worn cliches of the genre. A young college cheerleaders that just hates, by quirk of fate, with pompoms in hand to keep his scholarship and continue studying law. Marti has a best friend is not gay, Dan, who fears that the cheerleaders absorb the personality of his friend and this ends forgetting who he is. Of course, Marti breaks into the computer, thanks to its anti-free spirit, and their "innovative" choreography-watching that scene, I vomited a little. The new co-Marti manual also conform to the genre: the bad that happens to be good and befriends the protagonist, an Ashley Tisdale who plays Sharpay Evans if he really had been renovated at the end of High School Musical - the ruthless bitch who fears being replaced and the athletic guy who is interested in the role. Clearly influenced by

Glee, "I wanted some kind of relationship between Kevin and Ryan Murphy, but have not found it," Hellcats seeks the approval of the audience through sports spectacular choreography, which serve as musical numbers, as well as the competition factor, which also involve teachers and coaches, vacuous and boring, how could it be otherwise - in the struggle for survival Hellcats. However, none of this will serve to overcome the tedium involved in attending to predictable and dull story unfolds, exhausted from the first act. Yes, you guessed it, Hellcats not be in my series schedule 2010-2011.

Just one more thing: who wanted to make these transitions between scenes with the animators doing tricks? Whoever it is, must be sacrificed.
