Dexter Season 4: Interesting Teaser Art

While season two of HBO’s True Blood is currently airing, Showtime’s fourth season of Dexter doesn’t begin until September 27th. Howz-ever, Showtime released this little teaser poster to get your nipples hard. Is Dexter going to be a daddy? I have no idea because I stopped watching the show, but this poster sure suggests that he is going to be!

Fear Itself Finally Headed to DVD

NBC’s monumental failure Fear Itself is finally being released on DVD. It is a four-disc set that includes all 13 episodes, including five that were never aired, and four director’s cuts. Which is kind of lame. You think there would have been a few more episodes with footage too graphic for TV — thus a few more “director’s cuts” included in the box set. However, the good news is that it only costs around $30. Not bad for a new DVD TV Box Set.

The set will be available on September 15, 2009. Here are the episodes:

Stuart Gordon’s Eater
Breck Eisner’s The Sacrifice
Mary Harron’s Community
John Landis’ In Sickness and In Health
Brad Anderson’s Spooked
Ronny Yu’s The Family Man
Darren Lynn Bousman’s New Year’s Day
Larry Fessenden’s Skin and Bones

True Blood Season Two Special Report

Below are two videos from True Blood Season Two that premieres June 14th at 9PM on HBO. The first is of a blind woman who gets a huge shock when her seeing-eye dog changes back into a naked man, and the second is footage of a new scandal that rocked the sports world, when a vampire gymnast is filmed training.

If you have never watched an episode of True Blood, then you should know that the existence of vampires became public knowledge after the invention of a synthetic blood called, True Blood…duh! However, shapeshifters, who also exist, are not publicly known about, but that may be changing this season. We will have to wait and see.

John Lithgow Joins Dexter for Season 4

How is this for terrifying? I think I saw John Lithgow (or someone who looked like him) in a sex scene once when I was a child! I’m not sure what movie it was, but it scarred me for life. He was also creepy in that Raising Cain movie and Dr. Giggles, and now that I think about it, he should star in more horror films. So it is probably a good thing that he is joining Showtime’s serial killer series Dexter.

Vampire Diaries Joins Supernatural

The CW announced its new Fall lineup and the new TV show Vampire Diaries will be replacing Smallville and joining Supernatural on Thursday nights. The new show is based on the popular books written by L.J. Smith (read our reviews) about a high-school girl torn between two vampire brothers.

It stars Ian Somerhalder and was developed by Kevin Williamson known to horror fans as the writer of the Scream franchise.

Smallville has been banished to Friday nights and the Reaper was canceled while Gossip Girl, 90210, and One Tree Hill were renewed. You can check out the trailer for Vampire Diaries below.

New V Trailer

Damn! I was seriously hoping that ABC’s new V series would fill the void left by Battlestar Galactica, but after watching the trailer it just looks like a bad rehashing of the original. I know I shouldn’t give up on it already but check out the video below and tell me I’m wrong. It looks like the same show without the corny uniforms. What a waste.

True Blood: First Three Episodes Revealed

HBO is really pushing season two of True Blood and they just released a new poster and the first three episode descriptions. Check them out below.

June 14: “Nothing But the Blood”

A shocking murder outside Merlotte’s has Bon Temps reeling. Meanwhile, Sookie’s (Anna Paquin) relationship with Bill (Stephen Moyer) is tested when she learns about Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll), and of his involvement in her uncle’s death. Sam (Sam Trammell) recalls a shape-shifting encounter he had with Maryann (Michelle Forbes) as a 17-year-old. Jason (Ryan Kwanten) gets a sudden windfall that allows him to pay for a leadership retreat with the Fellowship of the Sun. Two adversaries find themselves sharing a mysterious dungeon and, possibly, the same fate.

June 21: “Keep This Party Going”

Sookie is forced to cope with Bill’s obligations to Jessica, as well as the romantic inconveniences the teen vampire’s presence creates. At the Light of Day leadership conference, Jason makes a favorable impression on its ambitious leaders, Steve (Michael McMillian) and Sarah Newlin (Anna Camp), though not on his jealous roommate Luke (Wes Brown). Maryann casts her spell on Merlotte’s patrons, and Sam proves helpless to stop the revelry.

True Blood Season 2 Trailer

Below is the new trailer for True Blood season two that premieres on HBO on June 14th. It features Bob Dylan’s new single “Beyond Here Lies Nothin,” and scenes from season two of the hit vampire show.

“Local waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), however, knows how it feels to be an outcast. “Cursed” with the ability to listen in on people’s thoughts, she’s also open-minded about the integration of vampires - particularly when it comes to Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), a handsome 173-year-old living up the road. But as Sookie is drawn into a series of mysteries surrounding Bill’s arrival in Bon Temps, that tolerance will be put to the test.”

Evan Rachel Wood New Queen of True Blood

While I was busy posting Battlestar Galactica DVD news along with True Blood clips, Michael Ausiello of EW.com was busy getting the scoop on Evan Rachel Wood joining the show.

True Blood Season 2 Clip

I’m way behind on my TV watching, but I like for a few seasons of a series to collect on DVD before I start watching them. While I am waiting for Battlestar Galactica: Season 4.5 to arrive on DVD (Official Press Release below), I plan to finish up The Wire, Desperate Housewives and True Blood. So this is basically a longwinded way of telling you that I have no idea what is going on this clip from season two of True Blood, and that I refuse to watch it since I have never seen season one. Fans of the show who are not afraid of spoilers check it out below.

True Blood Season 2 Teaser Poster

rue Blood season 2 premieres June 14 on HBO, and Alan Ball has promised fans that this year will contain some scenes that will make “your jaw drop.”

Harper’s Island: Season 1 Episode 1 (Review)

Harper’s Island is a romantic thriller series premiering on CBS. It is meant to be a 13-part murder mystery, challenging the viewer to figure out who will become a victim and when. The premiere episode is innocent enough, but throughout hints that there might be reason to be fearful.

Save the Date: Harper’s Island

I’m going to give this new Harper’s Island TV show a shot. It makes a nice bookend for American Idol and follows Smallville on Thursday nights. Not to mention we got this nice wedding invitation and HYB never gets invited to weddings.

Complete Harper’s Island Guide

Harper’s Island is a new “murder mystery” television show premiering on CBS, Thursday, April 9th, and airing each Thursday at 10:00pm ET/PT through July, 2nd.
