TV Roundup – June 18, 2012

Once again, I didn’t have much time for catching up on TV, so I really just watched one show.  I’m hoping to do better next week.

True Blood 5.2
Truth be told, this episode was rather dull and I’m pretty sure it came close to putting me to sleep.  The basic points are:

• Bill, Eric, and Nora are all being held by The Authority, who are having some philosophical discussion with them about the interpretation of the Vampire Bible and their position on mainstreaming.
• Alcide is supposed to be the new pack master and doesn’t want to be.
• Sam gets in a big fight with Luna over how to handle the state of the pack.  Oh, and Emma does turn into a werewolf.  Which will undoubtedly cause further problems.
• Pam is super upset about what’s happening between her and Eric, so we see shots of their first meeting.
• Tara isn’t adjusting to being a vampire very well, wants to kill Suckie and Lafeyette, but Pam tells her not to.  She says she’ll never forgive Suckie and Lala.
• Bill and Eric manage to save their lives, for now, by informing The Authority that Russell Edgington is still alive and on the loose.

I’ll be curious to see more of the history between Pam and Eric, he’s just as charming in the flashbacks and I adored him.  And despite how boring the episode was, I am curious as to how the stuff with Russell is going to play out.
