THIS WEEK ON True Blood: If You Love Me, Why Am I Dyin’?
Alright, this is what I’m talking about. I dug last night’s True Blood more than I had any episode in recent memory. On a relative scale, nothing really happened. Everything was par the True Blood course. Couples fought. Vampires fucked. Melodrama was as melodrama is. However by slowing down the episode and giving characters time to interact on a personal level, the show hit with a funny, charming episode.

Monday Morning Commute: Scream Sayonara!
Ahoy! Welcome to the MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE – this is the spot where I share the bits of entertainment detritus that I’ll be rolling in over the course of the next few days! Sometimes it’s neat and tidy. Other times, it’s gross and ewh. In either case, after you stomp through my mind-muck, it’s your duty to hit up the comments section and detail what you’ll be up to.
More ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’ Hi-Res Pictures? Sure!
…because I’m really excited about Captain America: The First Avenger. Hoping that it’s going to be the film to deliver me something fucking memorable this summer. Crunchy popcorn style memorable. Empty fun memorable. I promise that previous sentence wasn’t a contradiction.
Hit the jump for some more Cap.
‘Fear Itself’ Continues Ripping Off ‘Blackest Night’ With The Mighty.
I acknowledge that all comic book storylines are a bit incestuous. There’s only so many world-beaters you can tackle and events you can make the best of before everything stars to bleed together. However if you’re one of those people (hi!) who feels like Fear Itself is so very Blackest Night, you’re going to find this amazing. Introducing The Mighty, from the pages of Fear Itself.
Cliffy B Says ‘Wii U’ Haters Talk Shiz, Will Buy It Anyways.
Dude Huge has been spoutin’ off lately, and I’m all for it. The new object he’s aiming his Lancer at? Nintendo haters. Cliffy B hast seen the Wii U, and claims that those running their mouths about it are full of shit. They’ll be snagging it anyways.
The Triangulum Galaxy Is A Faint Cosmic Swoon!

The Triangulum Galaxy is the second-closet spiral galaxy to our own, and yet we can barely see the son of a gun. What’s the reasoning behind that? Our boy (or gal!) the Triangulum Galaxy is small, only half the size of our own Milky Way. Due to that, its light is faint, and gets washed out in the night sky.
Lucas Shuts Down Fan ‘Star Wars’ Marathon. He Is All That is Douche.
George Lucas is walking proof that I can separate my love for a creation from they who created it. While I love the OT with all my little heart, the doucheability that Lucas possesses knows no fucking bounds. Really, Georgey? You had to shut down a fan run Star Wars marathon? Jesus Christ.
Review: Shadows of the Damned
As I write this review, my copy of Shadows of the Damned resides in the dark recesses of my local Game store’s used drawer. Appropriately, it’s been banished to its very own version of hell, not for its flaws, or for a lack of quality, simply because that was always its destiny: what it was designed for.
BSG Composer Bear McCreary Scored the Shuttle Launch
That’s all she wrote, ladies and gentlemen.The curtain closed on America’s greatest achievement yesterday with the final shuttle launch in U.S. history. I was about 11-10 miles away and it was hard not to get emotional as the Atlantis disappeared behind the cloud line; leaving behind an enormous trail of exhaust and history in its wake. And my god, the sound wave. It took about one minute for the sound wave to hit and once it did, it shook me something fierce. But what I wish I was hearing at the time of launch was Bear McCreary’s “Fanfare for STS-135.”
