Thanks to klutzy_girl for the heads up.
Courteney Cox is cooking up something bigger than a title change to lure viewers to the undiscovered gem that is her ABC comedy Cougar Town: Jennifer Aniston!
After a year’s worth of will-she-or-won’t-she speculation, Aniston is nearing a deal to reunite with her former Friends costar (and real-life BFF) in an early episode of the show’s second season (premiering on Sept. 22), sources confirm to me exclusively.
ABC declined to comment, while Cougar Town executive producer Bill Lawrence would only say, “I would love for it to happen but there’s nothing to talk about yet.”
This would mark only the second time the pair have worked together on a scripted series since Friends went off the air in 2004. Their first reunion was in 2007, when they re-teamed for an episode of Cox’s FX dramedy Dirt.

The exhaustive search for a new title for ABC’s Cougar Town—one that better reflects the show’s evolution from single-woman-on-the-prowl sitcom to dysfunctional-family comedy—has been scrapped, exec producer Bill Lawrence confirms to me exclusively.
“I’m not changing the title,” Lawrence tells me. “We never thought of a good new one, which kind of sucks. And when you look at the modern landscape of television, changing the title means changing your DVR and all this other stuff.”
Lawrence says he’s hopeful the publicity surrounding the proposed title change will “get the message out” that Cougar Town has become a different (and vastly improved) show.
“It’ll be a funny burden to have,” he shrugs. “It might be the worst titled show of all time.”

"There's plenty of characters coming but the couple of regular characters that we're bringing in are female, so I guess they could be lesbians but we're bringing them in for love interests. Once the wheels are in motion, it's hard just to add something simply because you want to do it."
Any Guesses who the new characters may be? Meredith perhaps?

Hello everyone, THIS is Big Brother 12 – The Double Edition
In this edition, I’m going to cover the last 2 episodes, which were EXPLOSIVE! This week featured maybe one of the best all-time LIVE eviction episodes EVER! Let’s get started, shall we?
WEDNESDAY – The Set Up
The brigade was completely floored by the nominations but convinced Matt that whoever wins PoV besides Brendon and Rachel, will use it and backdoor Brendon to go home. At the PoV selection, the brigade is floored at how the twists of fate put BOTH Brendon and Rachel in the competition. I wonder if they ever check that little bag to make sure all the HG’s are in there or if they overload it with the people that would make the best TV? Andrew’s paranoia starts getting to him even more as he starts complaining about how messy everyone is and he goes around all day and cleans it all up. Andrew confronts Matt in the storage room nervous things are not going to plan.
Andrew being more nervous now that Brendon has won, decides to devise a scheme that he will openly say he’s going after Brendon and Rachel. Hopefully, that will earn the rest of the houses trust and he will be safe. At the PoV Ceremony, Brendon gives both Kathy and Andrew a chance to plead their case. Kathy says she doesn’t expect or want Brendon to use the PoV on her while Andrew took the complete opposite approach, almost demanding that Brendon uses the PoV on him. He states to the house, “This worked for Matt, so I’m going to try it. Brendon and Rachel, I’m coming after you.”, Brendon does NOT use the PoV and we have our official nominees for eviction.
THURSDAY NIGHT – The Fireworks!
Big Brother gives up a quick peek back to the PoV meeting where Andrew demands for Brendon to use it on him. However, Brendon does NOT use the PoV and game on. Some HG’s were confused at Andrew’s speech while Matt says that everyone knows it was BS.(not everyone!) Rachel goes to her room to think about stuff and Brendon comes in and asks if she is ok. Rachel tells him that she’s upset with what Andrew just said and she doesn’t understand why Brendon trusts him. Brendon decides he has to let Rachel in on the plan and tells her he knew what he was going to say. She says she doesn’t believe Brendon and starts feeling betrayed that he didn’t let her know as well. Matt informs Andrew that people didn’t buy his speech and the house is shifting against him.
He decides enough is enough and goes right after Kristen saying he knows she’s “playing him like a fiddle”. Kristen doesn’t take this very well and goes into the bedroom to confront him. WOW MOMENT #2 – Andrew and Kristen go into full-on battle mode, both yelling at each other, saying how each is digging it’s own grave. The rest of the house is completely shocked at what just happened and have all turned against Andrew at this point.
Back to the living room, Julie asks her pointless questions to the house and Lane had no clue what she was saying because his answer didn’t make sense, whatsoever. We also see Matt’s wife(she’s not what I expected and not in a good way), talking about Matt’s lie about her having a disease. She didn’t like it very much(she probably got hammered from all her relatives about it) but understood why he did it and even helped him by including that into her letter. Julie asks Rachel if she’s surprised that she’s not on the block, she says yes and everyone laughs. The only funny part of this was Julie trying to make Enzo say words properly. She did get him to say something about slop and informed the house that no one would be on slop this coming week. REJOICE!
WOW MOMENT #3 - It’s time for the votes to be cast but first, each nominee will get the chance to plead their case. Kathy goes first and she says she is happy to know everyone and happy for her time in the house(boring). Andrew goes next and he flips out! Andrew throws everyone under the bus. He tells everyone that Kristen and Hayden are a couple and he goes on to repeat Kristen's opinions of the others, and that Ragan's being played, and that Kristen doubts Enzo's intelligence. He says that Hayden and Kristen are the real power couple that must be split up, and if they keep him in the house, he'll help them do it. Needless to say, everyone was shocked and confused but ultimately unified that Andrew needed to go so by an 8-0 vote, Andrew was evicted from the Big Brother House.
As BB returns from commercial, Julie informs America that they must choose who will receive an offer to become the new Saboteur. If they accept, they have 2 weeks to complete tasks without getting caught and will win $20,000. If the first person doesn’t accept, they will ask the next person in line to accept the offer.(Why would anyone turn that down?) WOW MOMENT #5 - Back to the back yard, Rachel and Kristen are going after each other, on LIVE TV! Kristen is trying to deflect what Andrew said, basically saying he was lying while Rachel kept attacking her. Kristen also said she already knows she is putting up her and Hayden and Rachel thanks her for making her decision. GAME ON!
Until Next Time,

This week's episode drops Annie into her first foreign mission where she has to convince someone to let go of their past and start a new life, but love gets in the way.
The episode begins at Georgetown University with Annie playing soccer with a student, Diego; she's trying to stop him from getting past her, then we jump cut to kids playing soccer in Venezuela. We focus on a guy who walks past the kids playing and up a flight of stairs. He asks an onlooker, "whose winning?". Vincent Ponces comes out and says "The government, Lopez. Only the government wins." Another guy starts walking up the stairs--Lopez is surrounded. Shots are fired and Lopez takes off running for his life. As Lopez runs we intercut with Annie chasing after Diego who has dribbled past her on the soccer field. Back to Lopez, he gets to his car and as he's about to start the engine, a man in the back seat wraps a cord around his neck. Game over. As he struggles we focus on a gold necklace Lopez is wearing.
We bounce back to Annie as Diego scores a goal. They head to a bench where Diego (played by 90210's Michael Steger) can't help but touch Annie's leg, he's looking to score off the field too. She sets him straight and then gets up to leave. Diego says he'll do anything if she stays. Annie says that she needs to get to his sister Julia.
Cut to Julia opening the door for Vincent Ponces, the same bad guy we saw earlier. He has a present for Julia, a golden necklace...the same one Lopez was wearing when he was killed (creep factor on a 1-10: 11!). We also learn that Vincent Ponces is married when Julia says "I thought Sundays belonged to your wife."
-Opening Credits-
Annie explains to Diego that his sister, Julia, is mixed up with Vincent Ponces, a corrupt government official and since Julia is Ponces' banker she's going to go down with him if Diego doesn't help. Annie leaves and Auggie (finally out of the office) sits down on the bench next to Diego.
At CIA headquarters, Auggie explains that Diego sat on the bench for 20 minutes and did nothing, no phone calls, or texting. Joan lets Auggie know that he's not supposed to be out in the field; she can't afford to lose him. Joan gives Annie her mission; just hold Diego's hand on the plane and then give him to the station agent in Venezuela.
Annie tells her sister, Danielle, that the Smithsonian wants her to checkout a letter in Venezuela. Danielle sees that seashell bracelet and tells Annie she needs to let go. Annie agrees and puts the bracelet in a box.
So when they get to Venezuela there's a problem (beside Diego putting his hand on Annie's rear end.) The station agent Diego is supposed to go with is nowhere to be found and for the past few days he hasn't checked in--its Lopez. So Joan and everybody back at HQ are deciding whether to kill the mission or continue on with Annie. They let Annie continue on with the help from two agents in Venezuela, Maria and Rodriguez.
They go and visit Julia at the bank. When alone Julia tells Annie that she doesn't like her seeing Diego; she calls Annie an America cougar chasing after a 20-year old (lol). Annie says that she's not after her brother; 'I'm here to talk with you.'
On the way to Julia's home, we see a bunch of kids calling Julia "The Mother of the Neighbourhood." Diego says that people love her here; she looks after everybody.
Annie tries to convince Julia that Ponces is corrupt; But Julia doesn't want to leave Venezuela or betray the man she loves. Annie says that she grew up an army brat and she got over always moving by burying pictures of each place in a box. Julia still isn't budging. When Annie says that she'll get burned by love, Julia figures out she's talking from experience and says Annie is a woman with walls around her heart; Annie doesn't have a comeback for that one. Later, Annie finally convinces Julia when she says do it to prove his innocence; prove us wrong and we'll go away. She agrees.
Annie calls Auggie and says that Ponces password changes every minute. He uses a small device that gives him the password called a fob. When he's inside the bank, he reads the password on the fob and he can access his account. The plan is to switch his with one that Julia has. Julia will make the switch after they all meet for lunch tomorrow.
At lunch, they meet Ponces. Annie talks about the Smithsonian and her interest in an old letter. Ponces is very interested in Annie, so much so, he throws a monkey wrench into the plan when he wants to tag along with her instead of staying with Julia.
Back at headquarters one of the Venezuelan agents says Julia is wearing Lopez's chain. Since they just located Lopez's body, which is in pieces, they realize Ponces knows that the CIA is after him. Joan with Auggie and Jai debate whether to kill the mission (again). Joan says Annie doesn't look like a CIA agent so Ponces won't suspect her. She lets the mission continue.
After lunch, Annie and Ponces drive off...drive isn't the word...blllaaaasssts off in a red Ferrari. Annie sees the fob on Ponces key chain. He suspects Annie is an agent but he doesn't get the proof he needs until he lets Annie take a turn at driving. Telling her to go faster and faster, she comes around a sharp turn that has a construction sign with some pylons --Annie swerves around the sign, down shifts into second gear, and does a 180 to a full stop. Ponces says only someone with considerable training could have done that. He pulls out a gun and tells her to get out....Annie then floors it and the gun goes off, nipping Annie in the shoulder. She has the car in a tailspin, she grabs Ponces door and he spins out. She drives off with Ferrari and the fob on the key chain.
She calls Auggie and he says to meet Julia and Diego at the bank. They have a guy outside who'll drive them to the airport when they're finished. Inside the bank, they check Ponces accounts and they see that the accounts are funding terrorist organizations. Meanwhile, Ponces and a couple of his goons come in looking for Julia. Annie and Julia have to run out the back; Julia, after some pleading from Annie, reluctantly leaves. A successful mission.
Back at Georgetown, Diego says to Annie he's not sure he did the right thing. We see Julia clutching the necklace, as if it might bring Ponces back to her; she's still not over him. Diego says that they leave for witness protection tomorrow; he says goodbye walks over to Julia and they leave agent Hughes. Annie sighs and Auggie appears (like a ninja out of nowhere) and says this is part of the biz.
Ponces isn't over Julia either, but it's not about love with him; he has a score to settle. Ponces makes his way to DC and he's contacted by Julia to meet up.
Annie, Diego and Agent Hughes (who was supposed to be watching Julia) race after her. Julia meets up with Ponces and he says he's going to take her back to Venezuela. She gets in the car and as they're about to drive off...our friend from earlier with that cord strangles Julia. Annie et al show up just in time. Agent Hughes jumps out and shoots the strangler in the back of the head, gruesome. Ponces drives off as Hughes takes another shot. The car slows to a stop, Ponces is dead.
At home, Annie takes the seashell bracelet out of the box. This is one memory she's not going to bury.
-Thanks for reading. See you guys next week.-
But for season six, Thomas and partner Carter Bays are going for a series of interpersonal touchdowns. "Season six is just exciting the hell out of us because it has so much blood and guts in it," Thomas says. "It's going to bear a lot more resemblance to season one or two. The characters are going to be having a lot of big things happen to them." Such as...
— Look for some game-changing revelations related to the identity of Future Ted's wife as early as the season premiere. "There's going to be a new perspective on who the mother is," Thomas says, comparing it to a "new camera angle" for looking at the story. (Maybe this means we'll hear someone else's voice boring the poor kids with stories from the past?)
— Meanwhile, Ted will once again find himself working on a new building for the bank which employs Barney and Marshall. "They got some bailout money and decided to start building it again," Thomas says. But it turns out that building the new bank will mean tearing down a classic New York building — and an activist who opposes said destruction will end up becoming "a nemesis" for Ted. Naturally, since Ted is ever on the romantic prowl, you can expect this woman to become an object of Ted's desire.
— In what Thomas calls an "origin story," Barney will finally meet his father — and no, it won't be a famous aging former game show host. "He's been under the delusion that Bob Barker is his father, but he's going to get hints that's not true," Thomas says. "There is a real father, and Barney is going to find him. You can imagine the casting possibilities." We're nominating Jon Hamm.
— The Robin Sparkles legend will add a new chapter, one Thomas is labeling a "prequel" of sorts. We already know that, in addition to being a singer, Sparkles started out as an actor (with Alan Thicke!) on a Canadian kiddie-centric show. Not only will we likely see that show, we'll also find out that Robin had a pubescent partner named... Glitter. "They were called Sparkles and Glitter," Thomas says. "We have a few amazing casting ideas." We're pulling for Alanis Morissette, who first became famous as a regular on You Can't Do That on Television.
— The season premiere will pick up where the show left off last May, with Marshall and Lily stepping up for their first bedroom at-bat in their quest to have a child. "Night one, pitch one, and it's on," Thomas says. "There will be bumps in the way of their getting pregnant, but not in ways you could predict."
— Nothing's been decided yet, but if Bays and Thomas get their wish, an episode of HIMYM will be shot wholly on location in Manhattan and Brooklyn. "We want to do this Cannonball Run/Amazing Race-style episode where our characters are all racing through the city," Thomas says. "It would look nothing like the show normally does. It would be more like a crazy little movie. It would be the most fun thing to do." Producers still need to get budget approval from HIMYM studio 20th Century Fox, though, so don't go trying to wrangle an audition to be an extra just yet.
— Returning to the show next season for guest roles: Wayne Brady as Barney's brother, and Rachel Bilson as the roommate of Future Ted's wife.
While there's been no decision — yet — to set a definite end date for HIMYM, the show is clearly headed into its home stretch. "If HIMYM is a three-act play, then last season was the end of the second act, and this year will be the beginning of the third act," Carter says. "We're beginning the push toward what the ending of the series is."

Though we just spoke to "Supernatural" showrunner Sera Gamble at Comic-Con, there's always more to say about those Winchester boys. When Zap2it caught up with her at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour, we asked her the question on every fan's mind. Will we ever see Dean's amulet again?
The necklace, which Sam (Jared Padalecki) gave to Dean (Jensen Ackles) when they were kids, was a staple of Dean's wardrobe until this season, when Dean discovered that he wasn't a part of Sam's heaven and tossed it in a motel trash bin, much to our chagrin.
So we have to know -- did Sam retrieve it?
"Maybe," Gamble says coyly. "I can say that you won't be seeing the amulet any time soon, but I can't necessarily say you'll never see it again."
When Season 6 opens, Dean -- sans amulet -- has been living with Lisa Braeden (Cindy Sampson) and her son, Ben, for a year, believing that Sam is dead. "Last season when we were conceiving the idea of Dean settling down, we knew we couldn't just choose any woman from his long history of women," Gamble says. "Dean's driving force has always been his devotion to his family. He puts family above all else. We knew that no matter what his connection was to Lisa, or how wonderful she was, or great the sex was, it's about family. For Dean it's not about wanting to be with Lisa as much as it's about wanting to be part of a family unit."
If you're expecting Lisa to die a fiery death in the season premiere as a throwback to the pilot, think again. "Lisa will be recurring in the first half of the season," Sera confirms. "She's not just a one-off thing."
Gamble has taken over Eric Kripke's position as showrunner, though he remains in place as executive producer, but that's not the only shake-up in the "Supernatural" writers' room. Fan favorite Jeremy Carver is heading up the U.S. version of the BBC's beloved "Being Human," so he's no longer part of Gamble's writing staff.
"We're so happy for him," she says. "As a fan of the BBC version of the show, it's in good hands. We'll miss him on our show, but we're thrilled for him, and the door is always open, so who knows what will happen. He could be contributing. He wrote some of our best episodes. In fact, I think if you asked Eric Kripke, away from all the other writers, he'd say that 'Changing Channels' is his favorite of all of our episodes."
Kripke has said many times over the year that he'd planned a five-season arc for "Supernatural." Now that the series has moved into Season 6, we couldn't help but wonder whether this is the end.
"We know how we want the series to end," Gamble says. "Right now, we're sort of doing something that not many shows have done in the past, which is to say we've closed out our first story and we're moving on to a second chapter. We're not necessarily approaching it as our last season, but we are prepared for the eventuality. We've got an endgame, absolutely."
By the way, just because "Supernatural" has a female showrunner now, don't expect Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki to be taking their clothes off any more often. "I think the shirtlessness ratio is the same," Gamble laughs. "It's cold in Vancouver! I have to put their health first."

This next casting scoop gets the Aushole seal of approval: Former Friday Night Lights scene-stealer Kevin Rankin (it’s Herc!) is joining CBS’ The Mentalist in the potentially recurring role of Danny Ruskin, Patrick Jane’s (Simon Baker) brother-in-law.
“He’s a hustler, a con artist, a ladies’ man—a cunning ne’er-do-well,” explains Mentalist EP/creator Bruno Heller. “Through his sister, he has an emotional hook in Jane that he’s not afraid to tug at when it serves his nefarious purposes.”
Rankin will debut in this season’s second episode, slated to air on Sept. 30.

POLL : Which of these shows will you be watching Tonight? - 29th July 2010
The Shepherd siblings will be repairing their relationship in the upcoming season of Grey's Anatomy.
Caterina Scorsone, who's been upped to series regular on Private Practice, will appear in the third episode of Grey's Season 7, executive producer Shonda Rhimes tells TVGuide.com.
Scorsone's Dr. Amelia Shepherd goes to Seattle to reconcile with her brother, Derek (Patrick Dempsey). The two have not been on speaking terms since Amelia turned to drugs while grieving the death of her father, who was shot and killed in front of her and Derek.
"Family is family," Scorsone tells TVGuide.com. "Regardless of the strife and tension and drama between the family members, there's a bond and a connection that is so deep. Obviously Amelia has a lot of emotion surrounding Derek and that relationship and all the things they've been through together. There's a lot of unresolved emotions surrounding that whole relationship."
Amelia will be reluctant to head to Seattle to see her brother, though she'll get a supportive push from Addison (Kate Walsh) to reconcile. "Everyone can relate to that fear of confronting situations that may result in rejection," says Scorsone.

Hello all! Sorry about the week hiatus but I was on vacation. First up here is a recap of Sunday's True Blood. Expect a recap of episode 5 sometime tomorrow. Here we go!:
The episode starts off with Sookie being taken into Russell's mansion in slow motion. Bill pleads for Sam to get her out of there, but when he refuses to Bill stakes one of Russell's vampire guards and attempts to stake Russell, but to no avail. He is 3000 years old and very strong. Russell orders Lorena to take Bill to the slave quarters and kill him and Eric gives Sookie to the king, telling him that he doesn't know what she is, but she is valuable. Oh Eric, you goofball!
Next we cut to Merlottes where Arlene is dealing with an especially tough customer who is asking an awful lot of questions about their peas. Arlene gives the order to the flirting, pool playing Lafayette and when he complains about it Jesus offers his help. Lafayette asks him if he can even cook, to which he replies, "I can do a lot of things." Oh boy this is getting spicy! While complaining Arlene happens to cut her finger and shows it to Jessica, who involuntarily bares her fangs at Arlene. Arlene gasps and tells her not to eat her because she is pregnant. She shows her clear lack of knowledge about vampires when she says that the pregnancy probably makes her want to eat her even more and finishes off with a nice little "this is why people hate y’all", to which Jessica simply states it is only because she hasn't eaten in days.
Crystal and Jason are still at it by the pond and Jason makes a very curious remark about how he loves how warm she is. Does this mean that she is a werewolf too? Those hotshot people don't seem very normal so I would say it is very likely. If you have read any of the books you know something about Crystal but I wont spoil it! After lots and lots of kissing and smiling on both their parts Jason actually opens up and tells her that he is afraid she is going to break her heart. Has Jason finally found someone that he is actually compatible with? Perhaps, but before she can answer him she smells something (another werewolf?) and tells him that she has to leave/ that she is too dangerous for him and he ought to forget her. Obviously this doesn't sit well with Jason and he is going to do whatever it takes to keep Crystal.
Next Eric takes Sookie into the living room/creepy civil war fireplace room and reinforces that he never cared for her and has no intention of helping her escape. The King has something that he has wanted since he was a human and nothing is going to get in the way of it, especially not her. It looks like Eric's sudden allegiance to the king is really part of a Sawyer-esque long con. Yay True Blood-Lost cross over! Sookie tells Eric that she hates his guts and she will pay him back for what he is doing. Oh Sookie (cue snoop dogg music video). Russell comes in and wants to know what exactly Sookie is. She obviously is not human judging by the whole light hand incident but he is not exactly sure what that makes her. Russell also does a good job of being the big bad by dropping the ole' Bill-was-spying-on-you-and-that's-why-he-was-in-Bon Temps-in-the-first-place bomb on Sookie who seems genuinely shocked by the large amount of family info that he has on her. Sookie tells the King she will tell him all about her, so long as he answers some of her questions too (Most of which have to do with vampire politics). Russell squeezes out of Sookie that she is a telepath, she doesn't know why she gets light hands, and once she moved a chain with her mind. Russell seems pleased...for the moment.
Back at Merlottes Arlene continues with her vampire prejudices and Jessica manages to win back her trust by not only glamouring the customer into leaving, but leaving the entire contents of her wallet as a tip. Score one for Jessica! The woman excuses herself to the bathroom where Jessica then proceeds to feed on her. Om nom nom nom.
Still on their date, Lafayette and Jesus sit in his nice car and talk about Bon Temps. Jesus asks him why he doesn't just leave and Lafayette tells him that he has left before but he needs Bon Temps and Bon Temps needs him. Jesus gives Lafayette and the viewers a little bit of his background when he tells him that he is the child of a rape and he and his mother constantly moved around when he was a kid. Lafayette says that he feels like he can finally trust him (aww) and they move back inside to look at mother Mary. This is unfortunately interrupted by the local idiots of Hotshot who are once again beating Lafayette's care with a baseball bat. He can't just have one good thing! Lafaysus (their couple name, although Jesayette is another contender) lay the smack down on them and in the process it is revealed to Jesus that Lafayette deals V. Jesus is not happy about this and asks to be taken home. Cue the wa wa wawawa waaa
In the slave quarters Lorena has begun her torturing of Bill. She starts to play an old record and talks about how much she misses the 1930s. Everyone did what they were supposed to do. It's a very creepy talk. She talks about how much she has suffered and Bill snaps back that she has not been the recipient of suffering in a long time. O snap! She starts torturing him and I wont go into the details but it is pretty gruesome. At one point she even says that in the end he will die with her, not Sookie, inside of him. GROSS.
In the honeymoon suite of Tara and Franklin it looks like things are gonna get physical. Tara surprises everyone by asking him if she can bite him. He obliges and we are treated to a really gross shot of her ripping off his flesh from his neck area. Oh and also he lets her know that Sookie is in the mansion. Time to escape after v-fueled sex!
A series of nice little quick scenes follow:
Eric and Russell are both in the car, chatting about life, when the king reveals that they are not going to see the magister but are instead going to see the queen!
-Sookie is thrown into her room and Tara talks to her via mind and tells her that they are going to escape in the morning.
Russell tells Eric that Hitler was right about a master race, but the master race wasn’t the Aryans, it was the supernatural beings. If all of them just teamed up they could take the people down in a few days.... Eric agrees whole heartily with the king and says he too remembers what the earth used to look like. In fact, he remembers everything, especially the vikings.....
The duo now arrive at the Queen's palace and we see that the Queen is now using lottery to get money. Man times really are tough. Russell essentially asks for her hand in marriage for the 30th time and then forces her into marriage. Eric helps him by holding her down forcefully and tells her that he could kill her right now if he wanted to. He is older than her and was only holding back because he was in servitude to her, renounces servitude to her and pledges allegiance to Russell.
We cut back to Lorena still torturing bill. Yikes. She is crazy. Brings Cooter and Debbie in to feed on him before she finishes him off. Bill says that he welcomes death, hates that she made him a vampire.
Back at Sam's house we see on the tv vampire spokeswoman Nan Flanagan talking about vampire rights act, coming to ratification soon. Foreshadowing much? Sam wants to know about Tommy’s father. Tommy tells him he will tell him when he is comfortable and then right at that moment his parents come to pick him up. Sam awkwardly leaves for Merlottes and when he is gone Tommy's mother reminds him that Sam might be his brother by blood, but she is his family and he needs to support him. Over at Merlottes Sam hears from Arlene about the parents leading away a pitbull in a car and Sam finally figures out what Joe Lee is using Tommy for, dog fighting. Joe lee is a regular Michael Vick and is using Tommy in the dog fighting circuit to make them money. luckily Andy comes in and Sam talks to the sheriff about where dog fighting happens in their area. He doesn't want to say at first but after Sam reminds him of how he saved his life he tells him that he has heard about raids in union parish and same hops in his car and heads over there to investigate.
We cut back to Tara who walks over to the wall of weapons behind her and proceeds to bash in Franklin's head with a mace and then runs out. She gets all disguised up and tricks Sookie's guard were into letting her in, and then Sookie and her proceed to knock him out. Tara heads towards the door to escape but Sookie wants to go to the slave quarters and find Bill. Tara tells her she is stupid and both head off in different directions.
We come back to Jason who has suited himself up in his varsity jacket and brought flowers to Crystal's door. Unfortunately when she opens the door she pretends to not know him and we find out that she is engaged to the same hotshot idiot that tried to gaybash Lafayette. Rut Roh! In a fit of anger Jason drives over to Merlottes for a cold one but in doing so stumbles upon his favorite high school QB having sex with his girlfriend in the parking lot. Jason breaks up the lil' naked dance they are doing in her car and threatens to break his throwing hand, showing his dominance over the lil' jerk. Way to go Jason Stackhouse!
The episode ends with Tara still running away, when all of the sudden she runs into a red eyed white wolf. Oh shit! Luckily it turns out to be Alcide who is just looking for Sookie and Tara asks him the 500 dollar question, Do you have a car? Yes he does! Thank goodness that means we can finally get out of this place. Well not so fast, just as Sookie finds Bill bloody and chained up Lorena comes in and starts attacking Sookie, eventually biting her neck to try and kill her. Oh no! Alcide you better stop this madness next episode, or else!
Hey everyone I was on vacation for a week but I have returned with this week AND last week’s True Blood recaps. Mattv, how do you do it? Next up is the True Blood from 2 weeks ago: Trouble.
We start off almost immediately where we left off the week before, with Tara tied up thanks to Franklin and waiting for King Russell to return. Talbot sniffs at Tara and remarks at how “spicy” she is. A fight between Talbot and Franklin almost ensues over Tara and Franklin ruining the decorum of the mansion, but they are interrupted by the just fed Russell, Bill, and Lorena. Tara lets out a shocked, “Bill?” and worry grows on his face. Ut oh…
After the intro we got back to where we were with Bill continuing to reinforce that he doesn’t know her. Both Russell and Lorena are more concerned with why she is even here, to which Franklin tells her she is with him. Franklin also tells the King that he has brought him a present in the form of all of Bill's notes on Sookie and her family history. The two of them retire to the study and when Tara asks him to please help her, he simply responds No and goes upstairs with Lorena, who he then calls a cow and pushes out of his room. Gotta love that Bill. Back in the fireplace room of the mansion Franklin and Russell are talking about the present, but most talking about why he brought Tara into his house. He continues his streak of being crazy and tells him that they are soul mates and she is different from all the other women he has tried to be with. Ho boy, this isn't going to be good. Russell now knows Bill is lying to him and thanks to Franklin also knows that Sookie is in Jackson. Run Sookie, Run!
Back in the car de Alcide Sookie yells at him to stop driving so crazy and brings up the fact that Debbie clearly is now a psycho/nazi werewolf fueled by vampire blood. Alcide says that Debbie used to be good (I'll believe it when I see it) and Sookie says “I’ve got to talk to him (Russell), to which Alcide flat out denies will happen.
Back again at the King's Mansion we see Eric being brought into Russell’s house with about 5 muscled Were-guards behind him. He asks to find Bill and sticks to the whole lie that he created but is promptly shut down when Russell calls in Bill who confronts him about trying to put the V selling blame on him. Eric (kind of) apologizes and says that he only did it because the Magister has his child, Pam, captive. Russell snarls at the mentioning of the Magister and further reflects that the only power he has is the power we give him (He gonna die). After some prodding by Russell Eric agrees to spend da night and gives proceeds to give Bill a creepy smile while sipping on a Blood-tini.
Over at the casa de Alcide Sookie is awakened by Debbie and Alcide fighting over what just happened at the bar. Debbie continues to defend what she did, but gets very angry when Sookie comes out and accuses her of sleeping with her man. Sookie uses some mind reading to snap back that Debbie had multiple affairs in the same house with many different men and Debbie shows that she is real trash by then threatening to shank Sookie when she gets the chance. Lets hope that never happens. Sookie is able to avoid shanking long enough to ask Debbie where Bill is and to find out that she had no idea. great.
Next we cut to Tara and Franklin who are spending the night together. Tara is sporting a new creepy 18th century gown that Franklin has gotten for her and it becomes apparent that Franklin wants her for longer than just tonight, possibly forever. When Tara receives a sassy text from Lafayette we get a glimpse at Franklin's ugly side as he threatens to rip her throat out if she is cheating on him. He responds to the text message for her and dazzles her with how fast he can text the word "Motherf___er into her phone. Yup he crazy.
Meanwhile at the Bon Temps Police Office the Officers are talking about which kind of mulch is the best for their gardens. Unfortunately for everyone Jason walks in and interrupts their conversation to start his first day at work but is assigned desk duty by Andy. A humorous montage of Jason fooling around with paper clips follows until he tells Andy he can't take it anymore and requests a special assignment that is outside of the office. Andy happily obliges...
Over at Sam's the Trash parents moving into Sam’s side-house while Terry moves into Arlene’s house. That's about it.
Back at Russell's mansion it is now morning and we see Tara biting off her rope to try and escape while Franklin is resting. She manages to get them off and even runs a little bit before being caught by Cooter in wolf-form. Man that guy ruins everything. Tara is brought back to a crying Franklin and starts to take advantage of his crazy. She realizes that all she has to do is give him a little attention and he will do almost anything for her, including removing her ropes and demanding that she be fed real food and not day lilies. The only catch though is that she has to agree to become his vampire bride the next night and I don't really think Lafayette is gonna be cool with that. Or anyone else. Seems like tonight is going to be her last night as a human.
Back at Alcide's Sookie uses her mind reading to find out that Alcide is going to see the packmaster for advice on how to deal with Russell's werewolf minions. Sookie demands to be brought along and when they get there we see that the packmaster is just an older guy who drives a station wagon and demands that Alcide do nothing about Russell's werewolves. Russell is clearly stronger then them so they should just let him do what he wants and eventually he will leave. Alcide agrees for the moment but swears when the pack master drives away. Something tells me Alcide should be the pack master and not old man flood.
At Merlottes Lafayette and Tommy are smoking cigarillos while Lafayette tries to teach him how to properly smoke one. And yes it is just as filled with gay subtext as you would expect in True Blood. All of the sudden the hunky day nurse Jesus shows up and Lafayette assumes that it must mean that his mother has died. Jesus says that's not the case but that he just wanted to see if he wanted to go and see a movie. When Lafayette tells him he still has to work Jesus says he will just wait the 9 hours. Man what a guy! It is good for a chance to see Lafayette so un-guarded and I personally think the two of them would make a cute couple. Lets hope it works out.
It turns out that Jason's "special assignment" was just to wash the patrol cars. This seems awful to Jason until a car drives by and he sees that it is the same mysterious girl that he saw the night he tackled the drug dealer at hotshot. Naturally he chases after her and pretend pulls her over, eventually learning that her name is Crystal and telling her to meet him tonight at Merlottes for a date. Man everyone is getting pared up this season.
Inside Merlottes Jessica tries to make small talk with Arlene who only rebukes here and her night only gets worse when she sees Hoyt walk in with a date. Unfortunately for Hoyt this date is super fun sized and can only talk about how she can't wait to get pregnant. Fortunately for Jessica, Tommy cheers her up and tells her that she is hot and could do a lot better. Does this mean a possible relationship between them is in the works? Jessica finishes off her scene by seating a new table and them glamoring them into not tipping Arlene as revenge for her being so cold and mean towards Jessica's vampire-ness. Over at the bar Sam gets a call. It's Joe lee and he wants Tommy to come home. Ut oh....
Back at the mansion Russell is quizing Bill about his file on Sookie and Bill continues to play dumb. Russell sees through it and concludes that Bill must have been intrigued by her telepathy and wanted to see where it came from. After this Bill is led back to his room as he is now deemed not trustworthy and he hears a knock on his door. Its Cooter and he goads Bill by telling him that Sookie is now sleeping with a werewolf. Bill does not like this and beats up Cooter, then disables a vampire guard and runs off to go and get Sookie. Way to go Bill! He does care!
Jason is at Merlottes waiting for Crystal and comes across Andy who tells him that all he has to do is pass the physical exam and pass the written exam and he will be a full police officer. Jason, upset at the idea of having to memorize answers leaves and thinks that Crystal has stood him up. Over at the pool table Lafayette and Jesus are playing pool and having one of the most innuendo filled conversations ever. I mean seriously you could cut the sexual tension with a knife. This bout to get steamy okayyyy,
Sam still trying to find out the Micken’s secret. What does Joe Lee want? Tommy won’t tell so it must be something bad
Jason leaves and sees Crystal outside and manages to talk her into going on a walk with him. As you would assume with Jason the walk soon turns into making out and Crystal surprises him by telling him that what they are doing can only happen tonight or else it would be dangerous. They then proceed to have sex. Has Jason met his match/soul mate?
Eric is taken on a tour with Talbot. Russell is super sort compared to Eric. In the midst of the weird sexual tension between Talbot and Eric, Eric sees a Viking crown that cues a sweet flashback of him back when he was a human. Werewolves attack them and kill his whole family. Take his father’s crown when Eric was just about to take the duties of the king. We find out the person who ordered the attack was none other than Russell! Oh snap Eric has a hidden agenda! But Eric can’t fight him because he is still just a human in the flashback. Can he fight him now that he is also a vampire? We will have to wait and see…
Back to Sam and Tommy who are watching TV and enjoying a beer. Hear an ominous sound in the woods, Joe Lee is drunk and wants Tommy, He says he owns him, Sam gets real violent and kicks him out, we see his dark side, Joe Lee blames it on his drinking and says Tommy needs to learn responsibility, but what kind of responsibility? What is your secret!
Sookie awakes in Alcide’s den to find…Bill! Yes he does care and has come to tell her she has to leave. The bad guys are coming. Unfortunately he tells her there is no hope for her. Just as he says that Russell comes and tells Cooter to come and get her. Bill is held back by a muscle head vampire and Alcide is kicked in the groin, but surprisingly when Cooter tries to grab Sookie he is propelled backwards thanks to the white glow that shoots out of her hand. Russell then laughs with all of his evil and says "Excellent!" Wooo boy what's gonna happen now that they have Sookie!
She can read minds, sling beers and toss back shots with werewolves. Not to mention work a pair of short-shorts across two states. No wonder True Blood's Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) is the dream girl for three guys who put the super in supernatural.
So far she's been loyal to her first love, Civil War-era vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), but a heartrending breach of trust will soon tear the two apart, leaving an opening for calculating Viking bloodsucker Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård) and sensitive werewolf bodyguard Alcide Herveaux (Joe Manganiello).
"It will shake the very core of their relationship," says executive producer Alan Ball of the shocking incident that wounds the couple in Season 3. "Bill and Sookie's love for each other is authentic and they want to make it work. But it might get harder and harder."
Sookie's love life is a huge reason viewers are sucking up True Blood by the gallon. The Emmy-nominated drama, based on the best-selling book series by Charlaine Harris, is HBO's biggest hit since The Sopranos. Set in backwater Bon Temps, La., and surrounds, it's a Southern Gothic gumbo of hot sex, deep love and vampire politics, with enough story lines to choke a gator.
But underneath it all is the battle for Sookie's heart that's been raging since Season 1. Fans have chosen sides, and it's on for Team Bill versus Team Eric (unofficial team T-shirts are available online), with new rival Alcide now running as a dark horse, er, wolf.
Team Bill diehards held their breath in the Season 2 finale when Bill was kidnapped just after proposing to Sookie. This season kicked off with Bill being hauled away by werewolves working for vampire king of Mississippi Russell Edgington (Denis O'Hare). Sookie's search for her intended landed her in Russell's clutches, too, and she might have died along the way if not for Alcide's protection. Add to that the conniving Eric; Bill's maker and ex, Lorena (Mariana Kleveno), who's said she'd like to wear Sookie's rib cage as a hat; the dangerous vampire queen Sophie-Anne (Evan Rachel Wood); and you've got one bloody mess.
Still, Moyer (Paquin's real-life fiancé) believes that, when it comes to true love, all the mayhem is manageable. "I can't get into slinging matches about who's better for Sookie because it's just ridiculous," he laughs. "Bill is for Sookie, the love of her life."
Moyer makes a good case for why on a moonless night in an outdoor scene that will air in the Aug. 8 episode. We won't reveal too much, but we will say he's ready to fight Russell, who has put Bill's progeny, teenage vamp Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll), in danger. Bill's all passion and protectiveness, and definitely someone you want in your corner — or any room of the house. Score one for Team Bill.
But during the escape from Russell's mansion that eventually leads to this moment, Moyer hints, "Sookie does something we haven't seen her do yet for Bill. It being the roller-coaster ride that their relationship is, something happens immediately that makes things go awry."
For more on the other men in Sookie's life, including bad boy vamp Eric and hot werewolf Alcide, pick up this week's issue of TV GUIDE MAGAZINE, on newsstands Thursday, July 29!

Images of movies becoming alive. It happened on Charmed, Torchwood and now Warehouse 13 creates its version of the theme.
Apparently, not only your christmas cards and amazon packages can be lost in the mail, but also an artifact. When a super 3D image projector is found in the Univille mail storage, the town becomes the stage of Raymond St. James films. After being attacked by a gladiator and some cowboys (not to mention the marines and the noir detective passing by), the Warehouse team is able to locate the artifact by another Donovan technology (more of a Donovan modification). Turns out that artifact combined with microwaves and some gibberish technical stuff results in danger to everyone - especially when Dr. Doomsday decides to detonate a bomb. Using the other part of the artifact, the image of Artie literally saves the day.
Meanwhile, at Warehouse headquarters, Mrs. Frederic called experts to deal with Lenna. With the help of an amber ball, the echoes left by the pearl of wisdom are erased; but not completely.
So, what did we learn in this episode? 1. The reason for the locals hate the Warehouse staff (anything related to IRS is never a good disguise) 2. That there's a cute boy living in the city (Claudia-Todd relationship starting in 3,2,1) 3. That Farnsworth has a hole wing in the warehouse (and nuclear objects are still active - no worries then) 4. That Pete is an indispensable team member (how to solve mysteries related to comics and movies without him?) 5. That you may not be sick of that actor who tried to kill you during the day (and that popcorn makes everything better) 6. That Mark Sheppard is omnipresent in television (whether in Leverage, Battlestar Galactica, Medium, 24 or Firefly).
And be careful next time you're in a 3D cinema; you never know when the characters may get out of the movie due to an artifact. Or a spell. Or an alien menace.

POLL : Which of these shows will you be watching Tonight? - 27th July 2010
Hey everybody, FNL is back. In the last episode Becky went through an abortion. The father, well almost father, Luke Cafferty is still hiding his injuries on the football field. By the end of the episode everybody's injuries are going to come out into the open. If you haven't seen the episode, Spoilers Ahead.
We start off with Coach Taylor trying to get his team ready for this week's opponent but everyone, especially Buddy, is looking ahead to playing the Dillon Panthers. When asked how the Coach is going to beat the panthers, he says we're going to take them on just like any other opponent. (But it seems he really doesn't have the answer.)
Meanwhile Vince is back with his old street crew, up to no good. We see them beating a guy up when he doesn't have their money. Vince looks on wide-eyed. Vince asks how long he has to do this. His 'friend' says I'll let you know when your debt is paid up. Vince made a deal with the devil and there's no way out. Later, Vince is told that they're going to meet up after Friday night's game.
Luke's mom pays Becky a visit and she apologizes for not being able to be there for her. Then she asks Becky if she has a few minutes to tell her what happened so she could understand better. Becky says sure.
Then Luke's mom gets it in her head that Principal Taylor advised Becky to have an abortion. She files a complaint with the school and Principal Taylor is brought up before the review board; her job is on the line.
We get a nice surprise when we see Matt Sorensen in Chicago making a new life for himself. He calls up Julie but she doesn't want to talk. Later, he tries again and he apologizes for leaving without a word. He says that his life in Chicago is going well, but there's still something missing (Julie.) Julie, still angry, just tells him whatever is missing in his life he needs to go find it, elsewhere.
Luke is looking for relief from his bruised hip. He's finished all the medication he's got so far and goes back to the pharmacy for a refill. The pharmacist says that I just filled these last week and I can't give you anymore. Luke gets so desperate that he goes down to the infamous Carroll Park and tries to buy some Oxycontin from some of the drug dealers, but no one will sell to him, thinking he's a cop. 
Tim, with the money he made from the chop shop, buys the land he always wanted. And to celebrate he takes Becky and her mom out for dinner. A little tipsy from the night's celebration, Becky's mom comes on to Tim and he turns her down. So then the next night Becky invites Tim to watch a video. Becky falls asleep next to Tim and Becky's mom comes home from work and sees this. She throws a fit (the fact that Tim turned her down definitely fueled her fire.) She kicks Tim out and calls him no good and good for nothing. Tim says "I never touched your daughter" then hops in his truck and leaves.
Principal Taylor makes her case in front of the board. She tells the board that she's a certified counselor and principal and that she didn't inappropriately advise Becky to get an abortion. She tells them let her know what they decide and she picks up her stuff and leaves.
In the game, Luke takes a hard hit to his side and he's hurt; you can hear him wincing in pain... everybody in the stadium is silent. On the sideline Coach ask him what's wrong and he shows the nasty bruise on his hip and admits to playing hurt. Coach flips: You were hurt for 4 weeks and you didn't tell anyone! The assistant coach says that he's hurt pretty bad; he's done for the season. They end up losing the game.
Becky visits Tim to make sure he knows what her mom said to him wasn't true. She says that he protected her from her dad, drove 3 hours all the way to that crappy pageant, and helped her through the hardest thing she ever had to go through in her life (her abortion), so she wanted to thank him for that. She hugs him. "Goodbye Tim Riggins."
After the game, Vince is with his boys again. He waits in the car as they go and collect the money, but things go bad. Vince hears a shout and he sees them running towards the car with people shooting at them. One of his friends, Cal gets hit in the back. The other guy tells Vince drive away before we get shot too. Vince speeds off; Cal is left with his face in the dirt, dead.
Principal Taylor gets good news, the board found in her favor, 5-1. So she gets to keep her job, but she gets a phone call from a reporter asking for a comment on advising Becky to have an abortion. She has nothing to say. (guess we'll be seeing a bunch of angry parents next week.)
Jess sees Vince waiting outside her house; he's crouched down on the curb and he looks like he's in shock. He tells her Cal is dead. She holds him and he starts crying. End of episode.
-Thanks for reading and see you guys next week.-
