Jordana Spiro will channel her inner bad girl on Dexter this fall. TVLine has learned exclusively that the My Boys alumna will appear in multiple episodes of the killer drama’s sixth season as an acolyte of Colin Hanks’ Travis and Edward James Olmos’ Professor Gellar. Given this cycle’s buzzy religious theme andthe fact that an acolyte is by definition, “a devoted follower or attendant…who assists in the performance of liturgical rites” — it’s safe to assume these three are up to no good.

WHAT TERRIFIES YOU & LEAVES YOU SILENTLY PRAYING FOR MORNING?
We are still waiting on season 7 to premiere. (only 1 more month to go!) I will continue to drive the point of the producer's emphasis on "scary" this season in this article. Let's start with another mystery/scary story.
This one is more personal, even self-fueling because it's a story that was told to me as a young'n and probably has no base outside of trying to scare the bejeezus out of small children. I am pretty sure that my imagination expanded the actual story the counselor told way back when, (was it 13 years ago?) and to this day I've got a pretty concrete and evil version of his story burned into my mind, which is really unlike the actual (very short and not nearly as bloody or twisted) version told to me. Enjoy!
One morning (early early in the morning) I woke up to the strangest smell, and I couldn't see because something was hanging in the air. The light switch for my room was over my bed, so I flipped it on, but the lights didn't work. There was a light coming out of a vent over my bed, and a howling sound. That's when I saw flames erupt from the vent and I jumped out of bed. I couldn't see anywhere in the house, but I found my mother's room and called to her. I was so confused by what was going on. She woke up and started to freak out. I said "Mom, I don't understand? What's going on!?" She quickly realized and said "Wilson, the house is on fire! Wake up your brother! We have to get out!"(Minus the four-letter adjectives she threw in for flavor) I found my little brother passed out on the couch and we got him up and we all ran out the front door, and when we let that door open, the house erupted. It was crazy. I wasn't even scared, just dazed and out of it. Probably because of the smoke. Anyway, this happened around 2005... in early march, so relating it to SPN, it happened a few months before the pilot. My great grandmother Margie asked my mother repeatedly if I had mentioned hearing any voices or seeing anyone that woke me up. I don't recall seeing anything, I just remember dreaming about smoke or something, and waking up to the situation I just described. Margie has been convinced ever since that my great aunt Josephine woke me up from the other side, because that was her house. The house we lived in was the house my great grandmother and her family lived in, and their parents. It went back to the 1800's apparently. It was a small house but imbued with lots of family history and it was a tragic loss.
Rest assured that I've got more, but I'll abstain for now, because YOU are now in the hot seat.
The Dark Cabin
Let's start with some backstory: As a child, I attended camp at Camp Twin Lakes, an incredible place brimming with people who do nothing but push for each and every little kid that attends for the 1 week a year. (That is a story completely its own which you can see here!) The camp has different programs (different "Camps") every week all throughout the year that has a special focus (usually aimed at those with severe diseases), so it was a short but oh-so-sweet trip every time I got to go as a child. We were told (I think this was my 1st or 2nd year there) about how we were so lucky we got to go to Twin Lakes instead of where they used to hold camp about 15 years prior: Camp Barney. (No, not the dinosaur...I think it was established pre-pink dino-Barney)...They went on at length about how the cabins didn't have air conditioning--or even windows or actual doors! How it would be so hot all the time, and the only refreshment was to jump into the lake, which was kind've filthy, and how the food wasn't great. But the worst part was the untold problem of the lake: A dark presence that made itself known to disruptive children. (and Obviously this is 100% a story just to drive little 8-year-olds like myself to be a good little boy).
Here's where I intervene somewhat: At this point I realize that most of the visuals I have I've made up for myself. Ever since that night they told me this story, I imagined it a certain way that has yet to change, while really they just said a few things along the lines of "the top counselors had to fight him once..." and "he gets you when you're alone"...
So, this is the terrifying version I setup for myself:
Two young kids (8 years old, of course) were lagging behind the group on the way to the cafeteria. Then one of them realized he'd forgotten his name tag (which was frowned upon!) so he asked the other boy to wait on him. The boy obliged as the rest of the group walked away unwittingly to the cafeteria. The boy waited and waited until he started to worry. After about 20 minutes, he walked to the cabin and as he approached he felt a strange vibe. He called to his friend, but there was no answer.
At this time, a group of counselors had shown up when they realized the two boys were missing. One of them was the head of the operations of the camp, and he walked straight into the cabin (which had no doors or windows, remember!).
I pictured the cabin being immensely dark inside. No one outside could see into it, even in the middle of the hot, bright Georgia day. They then heard a bloodcurdling cry as well as a slamming sound. After a resounding silent moment, the man was thrown from the dark cabin out to the pathway. He had jagged tears all over his body and was bleeding out.
Two more counselors went in. Blood sprayed outwards and was carried on the wind. A few more went in and after a quiet pause, they emerged from the cabin with the terrified child in tow. However, it was a front: It never wanted that child, no-- It wanted the one that no one was paying attention to outside while they all focused on the kid in the house. So when they turned around, he was simply gone. No one ever saw him again. The only evidence of his existence was one of his shoes, later found floating nearby at the edge of the lake.
Moral of the story: Don't leave your damn name tag in the cabin, and certainly don't wait by yourself alone on the walking path because something will get you! I take credit for the twist at the end, as well as the amount of gore included. The actual story was just really a passing joke that one of the counselors told that I ended up thinking way too hard about. Sometimes that really got to me, because I found myself forgetting a name tag every once in a while, and ran like a bat out of hell to get it and keep up with my group!
Oblivion...and Snakes!?
Now, if that wasn't enough proof for you that I need to be locked up and put away for a very long time, let me tell you one more story:
When I was young (even younger than in the last story, probably aged 6-7 years), I had night terrors--Often. I remember quite a few of them actually, and they still freak me out when I think about them time-to-time. To this day, there's a couple in particular that I still can't get over.
It's difficult to explain, but let's just say that I was looking down upon myself. Except in place of myself was an amorphous object, that was shrouded in black (think of it being in a spotlight on a dark stage) and suddenly, the shape began to fall into itself. It slowly and painfully shrank and crushed itself into smaller and smaller versions of itself, until there was nothing left. I was nothing, and I was crushed into oblivion. I can't describe the feeling it left me when I woke up. I was truly horrified by what had happened.
The best part? I woke up screaming the word "snakes." I even ran to my mother's room and said "snakes" over and over again, trying to get her to comfort me, etc. Before I even went to bed I was wondering "Why did I say snakes? There were no snakes in my dream..."
The House Fire
(I posted this as a response to Jillyanne, and realized it'd be a good addition to the post itself.)
I don't know why I didn't think of this one earlier, unlike my dream or the story told to me, this is a 100% true story:
The house was gutted. The only thing left was my little brother's gameboy game; Pokemon Fire Red. (How weird is that!?) That monday, I showed up to class, and my teacher asked me "Where's your paper?" I replied "My house burned down, so there is no paper." She said "As long as you have it to me by friday, it should be fine." Priorities, people. Priorities!
Rest assured that I've got more, but I'll abstain for now, because YOU are now in the hot seat.You MUST have some stories of your own you'd be willing to share! Even if it's just a silly childhood fear you've gotten over by now! Maybe you want to share that time you were terrified of open fields because you thought a t-rex was hiding in the trees? (Yep...that's another one of mine...) Or maybe you want to post an idea you've had for a scary story? This post is meant to be a catalyst for the sharing of experiences, so get those creative juices flowing, people! Fundamentally, no one can frighten you as much as you can! In what ways has your mind tortured you with scary thoughts or bad dreams?

Here is Sean Furfaro's recap of Big Brother, Episode 22.
My Random Thoughts:
- When the hell did Jeff turn into “Big Jeff”? Does the only Jeff in the house need a qualifier? Sure, he’s a strapping lad, but it’s not like he exceptionally tall…or big, really. And what’s the deal with calling yourself “Big Jeff”? In my Survivor recaps two seasons ago, I mentioned every week how ridiculous it was that we had a “Purple Kelly”, but at least she never called herself Purple Kelly.
- Once Psycho Rachel found out that Jeff threw the POV competition the week that Brendon was evicted, Rachel apparently decided that she didn’t want to work with Jeff and Jordan anymore. Now, I understand that this would be pretty upsetting to Rachel, but if you’re going to do something about it and flip because you are offended that Brendon got evicted, why would you go with the one who NOMINATED HIM??
- After our recap of events in the house, the Chenbot told us that the houseguests just exploded “when Jeff learned that Shelly has flipped once again.” Damn, I wish I could have seen that, but it’s pretty odd for Julie to tell us what just happened as they were sitting there during the live show.
- Daniele’s “farewell” speech was a carbon copy of Dominic’s “Spineless Jellyfish” rant. Sounds like the go-to speech when you know you’re getting evicted. The scoffing look on Rachel’s face made it pretty clear that she wasn’t actually going to vote for Daniele, even though we were led to believe she had flipped. Daniele was voted out 3-2.
- Kalia won the “Before or After” HoH competition, which clearly frustrated the veteran alliance of Jeff, Jordan, and Rachel since they knew that two of them would end up being nominated. Before the nominations, we eavesdropped on the houseguests, where we got to see some real quality TV as someone burped on their microphone (Shelly, I think), and Kalia complained about her outfit before nominating Jeff and Rachel.
- I really hate when they get behind time in these Double Eviction episodes, and as a result, Julie Chen has to race through her pre-written speeches and competition questions. Slow down, woman! You sound like an auctioneer!
- With the house so firmly divided (Jeff, Rachel, Jordan, Adam vs. Kalia, Shelly, Porsche), and Jeff and Rachel on the block, regardless of the POV results, it would end up being a 2-2 tie vote anyways, with Kalia breaking the tie as the HoH, so the house was going to end up being 3 vs 3 at the end of this “week” anyways…it was just a matter of who would be leaving from the alliance of 4.
- Porsche won the POV competition, but did you see that shot of Jeff as he was flinging balls out of his bin? He had thrown his shoe out of the bin and it was laying outside of the bin on the side!!! Look at the picture below that I took during the episode. Talk about someone being over-exuberant and causing their own demise!
- What’s the point of “eavesdropping on the house” if the volume cuts out (presumably due to swearing by the houseguests) every time we listen in?
- Even though Jeff begged and begged for votes, the second eviction vote was an obvious 2-2 tie, and Kalia relished in her duty to single-handedly evict Jeff from the house. After a week where Jeff shoved the concept of “retribution” in her face, it was a heaping serving of “just desserts” for Big Jeff. Too bad you chucked that shoe out of your bin...
- The big move that made this happen was Shelly’s flip, and as upset as Jeff was about being evicted by people “who slept for 55 days and just woke up”, from a game play standpoint, it was a smart move, and the only move that gives any of the newbies a shot to win. That includes you, Adam.
One quick note, I will be recapping Sunday’s episode as usual, but I will not be recapping next week’s Wednesday or Thursday episode, as I won’t be able to watch them until the weekend. I’ll still put something together after I watch them, but it won’t be online right after the episode as usual.

Big Brother, Episode 21 Recap: “Unless Scientists Serve Mai Tais, I’m Pretty Sure She’s A Waitress…ZING.”
Here is Sean Furfaro's recap of Big Brother, Episode 21.
My Random Thoughts:
- Did anyone else find the first ten minutes of this episode as painful as I did? Kalia, Porsche, and Daniele talked about being nominated, Jeff and Adam smoked, and pretty much nothing else happened until Rachel started trying to antagonize Daniele about turning 25. “One time, when I turned 25…last year,” Rachel said, proving once again that she is a complete idiot. This is the sort of post-nomination drama we get?
Was it just me, or was it really that boring? I mean, I was watching the show from my basement since my area is under a Tornado Red Alert, so maybe that was it…but it sure felt like bad TV. (That's right, I'm posting this while torrential rains, wind, thunder and lightning crash around my house...that's my commitment to my readers!)
- Did we seriously watch two minutes of Jeff and Jordan in bed discussing how to pronounce “mischievous”? This is seriously the worst episode of the season so far.
o “Porsche, shouldn’t you be named after a car with a roomier trunk?”
o “Rachel, every other word out of your mouth is the F word…”fiancé.” (Should have been “floater”)
o “Daniele, do you own a car or do you still prefer to ride your daddy’s coattails?”
o “Adam, I don’t think your girlfriend realized she was dating Uncle Fester.”
o “Shelly, What do you call someone who likes to smoke, hunt, and fish? A dude.”
o “Kalia, you write a sex blog, but you seem to be an expert on the things done after sex…like sleeping.”
o “Jordan, the only reason Jeff hasn’t proposed yet is because he knows you’re horrible at answering questions.”
- In a boring jigsaw-puzzle challenge that was interspersed with the houseguests zinging each other in the Diary Room (“all of Kalia’s dates have chargers”…LOL!), Big Jeff won the POV.
- Kalia was worried that she was going to be the target because she’s “a bigger threat than Porsche.” First of all, the fake grass in the backyard is “a bigger threat than Porsche,” and Kalia thinking that she’s a target because she’s “a bigger threat than Porsche” is like driving a crappy old Ford Pinto and saying the only reason someone tried to steal it is because it’s “way nicer than the Yugo.”
- Bad Episode + Predictable Result = Short Recap. Sorry folks…let’s hope tomorrow’s episode is better.

So, where to start? The second part of this Season really ramped up the excitement. Further returning characters, two major character deaths and an end to set our sights on.
The Deaths.
While I think Renee’s death was mostly there for Whedon to prove a point, it does have further repurcussions for Xander and others for the remainder of the season. There were a lot of fans that were doubtful that the comic season could be half as great as the television series, using actors makes it a lot easier to empathise with characters and engage the audience with the emotional scenes just as much as the ‘fun’ scenes. We spent the first part of the Season reconnecting with a new Buffy, reintroducing the characters and their new roles so Renee’s death came very suddenly, we were still in the “honeymoon” phase of introducing ourselves to this new medium and then Whedon does something to make the audience, the fans, and the doubters realise that even in this new medium he can still give a shocking emotional stake to the heart. Renee’s death also reminds the fans and Xander of how much the people around Buffy have suffered, they are not the chosen ones and can opt out at anytime. Is Renee’s death the first domino that will lead to the betrayal Buffy is destined to experience, is the betrayer Xander?
The next incredibly important death is Willow. Willow is destined to die hundreds of years from the present meaning she is effectively safe from harm during the rest of the Season. While Willow’s intentions appear to be revealed by the end of “Time of your life”, we cannot trust her just as much as the other characters cannot. It seems that the whole reason Buffy is transported into the future by Willow is to kill Willow. Willow emphasises the point that it’s important who kills her, it has to be Buffy, this is presumably more than just a desire that it is her best friend that has to be the killer. We have already seen Buffy and Willow’s magical connection this season in the opening arc “The Long Way Home”, to defeat Amy, Buffy channels Willow and her power even though they are not in the same room together, “Even when Buffy is not near, a part of her is with me, and a part of me with her” Willow tells us. Willow is also heavily linked to the Scythe as it was her power that was able to create the “every potential Slayer IS a Slayer” spell, either of those facts or both combined could be the reason Willow cannot die any other way than Buffy stabbing her with the Scythe. Even though Willow is seen with the black eyes and the black hair from Season Six, this Willow does not seem ‘evil’ or full of rage, the dark magic that is keeping her alive may have not been intentional, it may be inflicted on her by someone else or it may even be a spell gone awry. The dark magic that Willow possesses in this arc brings up the mystery of how she ended up this way, and again, is Willow’s dark power a consequence of an extreme betrayal, is Willow the prophesized betrayer?
Is this future preventable? We have already seen alternate worlds in the television series (Willow as a vampire, Anya’s constant reminder of the world full of shrimp) so this future, and Willow’s death may still be avoidable. Fray even says to Buffy that if she returns to the present she can avoid this future because she has seen it and this future will cease to exist, while the arc very importantly ended in Fray’s world showing us that Buffy’s return has not erased Fray’s world its important to realise that it could just be an alternate version. This concept would be a lot more fascinating if the series hadn’t already established that this is a series that considers alternate worlds part of its mythology. Regardless of that fact, I have faith in Whedon and for the time being will assume that this is really where Buffy’s army, Season Eight and Willow’s fate is leading. For the fans who have read the Fray series before Season Eight, the questions still remain; does Buffy’s Slayer army cause this future? Will Buffy’s Slayer army be able to stop this future?
Buffy’s Downfall.
Having read a comment or two about how I am portraying Buffy in this ongoing recap I will now use a section to explain her portrayal and how integral it is the story. Having read the entirety of Season 8 before writing this I have the retrospective to comment and emphasise on sometimes subtle plot points that on first reading did not seem too important, while at times it seems I am being harsh on Buffy’s character it is how she is genuinely being portrayed with perhaps a further emphasis by me. Buffy’s emotions, bad decisions and the way she reacts to these bad decisions are crucial to the ongoing story. Buffy keeps feeling sorry for herself which she even comments on and hates herself even more so feeling sorry for herself to begin with, this was even highlighted in the television series when Buffy is told that she has a superiority complex and an inferior complex because of it, she feels like she is "better" than her friends but feels "less than" because she feels superior. This feeling of self loathing has been evident since the first issue when she tells us how she misses everything from her past life, including the somewhat ‘inconvenience’ of Dawn’s giant problem, Buffy is still living in the past which she needs to let go of to defeat Twilight. We saw in the first part of the season that Satsu has feelings for Buffy, feelings that will never come to fruition because Buffy is not a lesbian, then in the next arc (around two months for the readers) Buffy is found having had intercourse with Satsu. From everything Buffy had complained about before this event and Willow’s comments afterwards it becomes clear that Buffy used Satsu, to both rid herself of the loneliness she has been feeling since the start of the season and to satisfy her sexual cravings that have gone unfulfilled since being surrounded by mostly other women. By the end of that arc Buffy realises her mistake and suggests that Satsu remains in Tokyo, mainly for her own protection. Buffy is making morally questionable decisions; this is often commented on by other characters (Willow, Fray, Buffy herself) and is part of Twilight’s plan, over the next few arcs this collection of errors begins to materialise the consequences that will mostly come to its climax during the ‘Twilight’ arc.
In the next arc, Buffy is clearly still looking for that emotional attachment as it is revealed that in New York she has a secret rendezvous and gets dressed up as if it is a date. By the end of the arc we discover that the man she was secretly meeting with was Riley, and more importantly, he is working with Twilight. Twilight had previously mentioned his ‘man on the inside’ and now we get confirmation on who this is. Twilight is really putting his (or her) effort into making Buffy suffer emotionally, Twilight has already mentioned that he wants Buffy to doubt herself and I’m sure the point of using Riley is just as much to make an emotional blow as it is to have a mole within Buffy’s team. While none of us can blame Buffy for trusting Riley, it's just another brick in the wall of "Buffy's bad decisions" that will come crashing down sooner rather than later.
While Twilight cannot manipulate all of these events, most of them are just pure luck, Buffy is falling prey to Twilight’s plan. He wants Buffy to doubt her decisions, her morality, while he doesn’t fully explain why, its safe to assume that if Buffy doubts herself she will be easier to defeat. Buffy fully accepts that she used Satsu and apologises but Satsu is an adult and fully accepts that she allowed Buffy to ‘use’ her because she enjoyed Buffy’s company just as much as Buffy enjoyed hers. However, Buffy’s visit to the future may be part of Twilight’s overall plan, it is here that Buffy is forced to face the mistakes she hasn’t even made yet, she reads the Slayer history books to find out that her Slayer army barely made a difference and that they may even cause this world to be. Buffy travels back to the present with the knowledge that the decisions she make will make no difference, that Willow becomes consumed with dark Magic again, and that Buffy will be the one who eventually kills Willow. This will be the biggest blow to Buffy’s self confidence so far.
The Big Picture.
The first quarter of the season had hinted to the reader that Buffy is perhaps not making the right decisions and perhaps striving for the greater good through actions that she would once have opposed. In the second quarter of the Season Buffy is transported into the future she faces a direct point of view that tells her and the reader that Buffy has ‘lost’ her way in terms of being a Slayer. Fray has spent the last few years as a lone Slayer, fighting for the greater good by saving “the little people”, then Buffy comes along and claims that they need to focus more on the “big picture” even if that means allowing the little people to be harmed in the process. As Buffy drives off to get a better look at the “bigger picture” she leaves Fray to deal with the smaller evils of the world, Buffy should rightly be criticized at this point for leaving a Slayer alone (especially after her constant persistence of unity this season which will be brought up again in the next arc under much scrutiny) and leaving helpless civilians under threat to instead follow the big bad. The third quarter of the Season focuses on the mistakes Buffy has made and problems that will arise for the Slayer army by focusing too much on the bigger picture and not fixing the smaller issues, and the final quarter of the Season will address what Buffy does to correct the mistakes and the consequences she has created. The topic of the bigger picture is also foreshadowing the fact that Buffy herself is missing out on an even bigger picture to do with herself, Twilight and her impending fate.

The BBC's Top Gear has returned to BBC America. Check out what happened in the season premiere, which included an appearance by rocker Alice Cooper. What are you looking forward to in series seventeen?
Here is Sean Furfaro's recap of Big Brother, Episode 20.
My Random Thoughts:
- At the end of Thursday’s show, The Chenbot told us that this coming Thursday will be a Double Eviction episode, which makes me ask the obvious question: Why the hell would you let someone re-enter the game if you’re having a Double Eviction episode only 2 weeks later? Just more proof that CBS is rigging this season to favor the veterans, as I’ve said all along.
- In the HoH competition, ‘All Washed Up’, Shelly was competing for Josie (shocker) while doing really weird things with her tongue, Jordan was at a severe disadvantage because of the added weight of a soaked Humilitard, Jeff kept choking on bubbles, Kalia may have been able to move faster running backwards, and Adam had a major wipe-out. After 90 minutes, of slipping, sliding, and suds-swallowing, Jeff had won HoH.
- Rachel talked about Daniele, Kalia, and Porsche being disappointed at not winning the HoH competition, and said “Come on girls. At least when you win, I pretend like I’m happy.” What planet is this freak from? When Daniele and Kalia won HoH, she was the first one to sulk, bitch, and complain, and constantly act like a petulant child. If that’s pretending like she’s happy, God help anyone when she’s actually upset.
- Freak-Job Rachel then said that now that Jeff is HoH, “I definitely need my alliance.” Of course…when Jeff said he couldn’t vote for Brendon to stay, you were an ass to him, and you talked about him and Jordan being your “#1 target”, but now that Jeff has the power in the house, you’re suddenly best friends again.
- Shelly was the first one to point that out after the HoH competition (although you’d have to be a blind monkey to have missed it), and talked about how much she couldn’t stand Rachel. Have you ever seen two people in the same alliance despise each other so much?
- I loved Jeff’s line at revealing his HoH room: “Put on a fake face like everyone else does and get up here.” He got pictures of his parents, his nieces, and some fish, as well as a box of Lucky Charms and a letter from his brother. Nice to see a family side of Jeff, and hear how close he is with his nieces. You have to think that Jeff would be a pretty cool uncle to have if you’re a kid, wouldn’t he?
- Shelly has never heard of pears, pita, hummus, avocado, guacamole, or coconut water? Then she told Daniele, “you’re always cuttin’ up vegetables and makin’ vegetable sandwiches”…and she didn’t even say it matter-of-fact, she said it rather accusingly. I guess if it’s not peanut butter or you can’t shoot it with a crossbow, it doesn’t find it’s way into Shelly’s kitchen.
- I’ve mentioned this before, but it drives me insane how almost every conversation on this show takes place while people are lying in bed. Are you really too lazy to even be able to sit upright to have a discussion? And it’s not like you even see it happen just because they happen to be lying down in bed…how many times have you seen them walk into a room to talk, and then climb into bed, under the covers, to have that conversation? See what I mean in the pictures below...and try to get past the fact that Porsche looks like she's about to murder someone.
- Jeff confirmed to Daniele that their “deal” was still strong, and that she wasn’t going up as a nominee or a replacement nominee, but he also had to get her to admit that she wouldn’t use the veto if she won it. As a result, Daniele said she likely won’t try to win it. Whether that’s true or not, I’m not sure.
- Porsche awkwardly tried to talk to Jeff about nominations after 49 days of just existing in the house with complete disregard for the game at hand. Credit to Jeff for not laughing in her face at that conversation.
