TV commentary:

True Blood- Woah, that was an insane season finale. Very bloody! Not often do you get to see someone get gibbed on a tv show. ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Secret Life- So, I was flicking through the channels, and caught the latest ep of this. Like I'm glad I quit, because the dialogue and "messages" are still awful. But I had a morbid curiosity because it looks like there were a whole lot of changes. Like Amy's mom is gay now?! And her dad is back with Grace's mom? And apparently Bo Duke was having an affair with some chick in Zimbabwe before he died, so Grace has a half-brother? And Madison is blond? Ben's dad is no longer with Stifler's mom and married some random new chick? And who the eff are all these new people?! Like why are there a bunch of girls in schoolgirl uniforms? And there's yet another preggers chick? And the season finale, Jack gets beaten almost to death by some pimp for helping some teen hooker? And Ben's dad and his new wife are also taking in a teen hooker? (I'm unclear on whether they are the same teen hooker) And I had to look it up, but Ashley apparently got shipped off to Italy to go to some school there?

I've always been amused in shows when they write some teenage character by having them going to school in another country. Like who are these kids who get shipped off to a whole other country, usually Italy, to live with some random relative and go to some foreign school? Its, tv, they can make up anything they want, they can't be sent to live with relatives who just live in another part of the US? Is that just too boring to have the character move to like Iowa or something, it had to be something more worldly?
