TV Review: TRUE BLOOD – Season 5 – “Whatever I Am, You Made Me”

Just in case we weren’t aware of the keen contributions normally made to TRUE BLOOD by Rutina Wesley’s blunt-spoken Tara and Kristin Bauer van Straten’s brilliantly acerbic Pam, the episode “Whatever I Am, You Made Me” drives the point home by muffling both characters. Make no mistake, Tara and Pam are both front and center here, it’s just that they’re both in dead serious mode. Newly-vamped Tara, having fled from her cousin Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) and Sookie (Anna Paquin), almost kills a helpless woman changing a tire. Tara gets some self-control and takes shelter with old boss/boyfriend/shapeshifter Sam (Sam Trammell). […]Read On »

Network: ABC, airs on Mondays @ 10 p.m. Original Telecast: June 25, 2012 The BIG BROTHER knock-off THE GLASS HOUSE continues to progress despite being shown just once a week (I thought originally the show was going to be on three times a week but maybe the lack of ratings changed the network’s decision) and already you can see where only airing once a week is a bit of an issue. Cramming a week’s worth of reality show into a single hour is a tough thing do, especially when the whole point of the game is to show how the […]Read On »

Stars: Tyler Posey, Crystal Reed, Dylan O’Brien, Tyler Hoechlin, Holland Roden, Colton Haynes, Linden Ashby, JR Bourne Writer: Ned Vizzini & Nick Antosca Director Tim Andrew Network: MTV, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: June 25, 2012 It’s about time TEEN WOLF started revealing some things, and finally it does with “Venomous”, an appropriately titled episode since it reveals a snake (i.e. a new form of shapeshifter) hiding in our core group. After several episodes of teasing, “Venomous” finally offers up the big reveal about half-way through the episode, and while it’s not altogether surprising, I’m just relieved it’s a major […]Read On »

Host: Rich Eisen Network: TNT, airs Sunday nights Original Telecast: June 24, 2012 Just when you think every reality show concept has been done to death, along comes something refreshing like THE GREAT ESCAPE, TNT’s uber-successful attempt to get in the reality game. With executive producer Ron Howard and Brian Grazer behind-the-scenes (alongside THE AMAZING RACE executive producers Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri), they’re off to a, well, great, start. Mixing in elements of THE AMAZING RACE and FEAR FACTOR, the series is pretty simple in concept, but elaborate and expansive in execution. Three teams of two are taken […]Read On »

Now, it could all be true and they are preparing viewers for what would be a larger, more intense fight against the aliens […]Read On »

Actress Cassidy Freeman has another hit series on her hands. The talented and beautiful young woman can currently be found on A&E’s top rated cable series LONGMIRE. In this series, Cassidy plays Walt Longmire’s (Robert Taylor) daughter Cady, who is a lawyer in a small town in Wyoming. Once the LONGMIRE pilot was shot, the actress had about a year in between that and the second episode to fill. During that time she did a guest star run on the popular CW show THE VAMPIRE DIARIES. ASSIGNMENT X chatted with Freeman about LONGMIRE, but also got the chance to see […]Read On »

By the end of “Progress,” which is billed not as the start of Season 2 but as a special episode, we are as or more bewildered than Ryan (Elijah Wood). This is saying something, considering that the poor guy […]Read On »

Car Manufacturer: Kia Model: 2012 KIA RIO 5-DOOR SX Suggested Retail Price: $20,745 Up until reviewing cars for ASSIGNMENT X, I never had the chance to drive or ride in a KIA, but the two latest cars (the RIO and the SOUL) we sampled from the impressive car maker prove to be quite cool and very fun rides. First up is the 2012 KIA RIO 5-DOOR SX and this is a nice  little car that features many of extras that make driving a KIA fun, plus it has a nice affordable price. This is a starter car in many ways […]Read On »

Stars: Colin Ferguson, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Joe Morton, Erica Cerra, Neil Grayston, Niall Matter, Felicia Day, Dondre Whitfield, Kavan Smith, Christopher Gauthier, Trevor Jackson, Wil Wheaton Writers: Paula Yoo & Ed Fowler, series created by Andrew Cosby & Jaime Paglia Director: Alexandra de la Roche Network: Syfy, Mondays @ 9 PM Original Telecast: June 18, 2012 EUREKA is usually reliably funny no matter what, but in “Smarter Carter,” between characters who have unpleasant personality transformations, characters who are worried and characters who are just plain mad at each other, there aren’t a lot of laughs to go around. When Allison’s (Salli […]Read On »
