Well, another season of Sister Wives has come to a close! Can you even believe it?? We've been watching this motley crew of Mormons for four entire seasons now, witnessing such huge life changes as the addition of a fourth wife, two new babies, a major geographical move, and much, much more. And after all that, what does the world at large care about? What's the only Sister Wives related issue the Browns' faithful audience really, really cares about?? 

Well, actually there are two:

1. Are the wives jealous of each other?

2. Are they ever gonna add a fifth wife?

Yup, essentially the same questions that everybody's had for the Browns since Day 1 (or since after Robyn became the official fourth wife, anyway). So of course Kody, Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn addressed those questions while on the couch during the "Sister Wives Tell All" segment of the show, and of course their answers were the same as they always are:

1. Yes, sometimes the wives get jealous of each other but that's to be expected and it's just something they all deal with and blah, blah, blah.

2. Um, well, Kody's not actively seeking another wife but then again he didn't go out looking for Robyn, either, and she just happened and, um ...

Personally, I don't think the Browns will be tossing another wife into the mix anytime soon -- or anytime, ever, really. (Not from the look on Christine's face when the idea came up.) Plus, now that TLC already has that My 5 Wives show lined up, what would be the point?

Anyway. Not a whole lotta cliffhangers going into season 5, but maybe that's okay. Maybe we'll just tune into Sister Wives as a way of checking in on old friends instead of getting our vicarious plural marriage kicks. On that note, check out this clip of the kids saying nice stuff about their nice parents:

'Dexter' Finale Wasn't Worthy of TV's Most Beloved Slasher (SPOILER ALERT)

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Ericka Sóuter 1 hour ago

Showtime's Dexter will go down in history as the only show that actually made us root for a serial killer. It didn't matter how many people Michael C. Hall dismembered or why, we looked at him as one of the good guys. So we diehard fans expected a series finale that reflected our admiration for primetime's most beloved slasher. Yes, the ending was unexpected and there were surprises along the way. But it wasn't an ending worthy of Dexter Morgan. Here's why.

(STOP READING NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.)

It's hard to imagine liking someone who enjoys killing people. But we bought into Dexter's "code" from day one. He satiates his blood lust by killing the killers. Of course there were a couple of innocent casualties along the way (like Lieutenant Doakes and Captain Laguerta). But in general, you felt like the world was a safer place with Dexter Morgan around.

There had been much speculation and debate as to how the show would finally end. Would his sister Debra crack and turn him in? Would he be taken down by another serial killer? Would one of his cop friends put two and two together and finally nab him? Or maybe he would ride off into the sunset with his son and homicidal girlfriend Hannah (my favorite option)? The answer turned out to be none of the above.

Yes, Dexter got away with murder (too many to count), but he did not get the happy ending many of us had certainly hoped for. In the end, he felt responsible for the misery of so many people he loved. After his sister is shot by Dexter's latest serial killing nemesis and ends up in a vegetative state, he is wracked with guilt. To him, it seemed that everyone he cared for met some tragic end. As a result, he abandons his plans to meet his girlfriend and son, who had already fled the country. Instead, he rides his boat into a hurricane.

At first you think he must have drowned, as friends got word that the wreckage was found. But turns out our crafty killer has actually made a life for himself as a lumberjack in the middle of nowhere. Dexter as we know it exists no more. There are no friends, no family members, no adoring son to come home to, no double life to keep up. We see him in a sparse, dank, and totally depressing room in a run-down house. Completely and utterly ALONE.

Some would say that is karma, that he should end up miserable and lonely. But I was really hoping for a happy ending for this fictitious serial killer with a conscience. I mean, even Tony Soprano, who bought untold misery to just about ever character on that show, got to chill with his family when the curtain fell. I think Dexter deserved a little happiness too.

Do you like the way the series ended?

To is invalid
Parameter name: to
por Jacqueline Burt hace 59 minutos

Nadie puede creer ni esta noche es el Final de la temporada de Esposas hermana?? Es cierto, estamos apenas unas horas de un episodio especial de doble de hermana esposas incluyendo la "terapia de matrimonio polígamo," en que "Kody y sus cuatro esposas enfrentan sus problemas de relación en una pareja retirada que incluye una sesión de meditación que les ayuda a llegar al fondo de sus conflictos internos" y "hermana esposas dicen todo," uno de los "todo el mundo se sienta en el sofá y responde a las preguntas de espectador" se refiere. Me parece muy jugoso, dang??

No puedo decidir qué parte de la final de la temporada estoy deseando más, las matrimonio polígamo terapia parejas la retirada o la sesión de Q&A. Supongo que todo depende de cuál es la mitad de la especial termina siendo más revelador. Es decir, las esposas de hermana realmente dirá todo?? Dudoso, pero espero que estas 5 preguntas se encuentran entre las consultas respondidas:

¿1. Meri realmente quiere a otro bebé?

2. ¿Cómo te pagan por todas esas casas otra vez?

3. Igual que #2, excepto en reemplazar "casas" con "seguro de salud".

4. ¿Qué piensa realmente Janelle de "Armario de mi SisterWife"?

5. No importa los niños: ¿Qué opina de las esposas de estilo faux-surfista de Kody?

¿Qué preguntas candentes que esperas conseguir respondidas en hermana esposas Season Finale esta noche.

'Tamra's OC Wedding' Finale Recap: Tamra Barney and Eddie Judge FINALLY Make it To The Altar and No One Can Stop Crying

dinsdag 17 september 2013

AppId is over the quota

Two things worth noting happened during this, the culmination of 'Tamra's OC Wedding'. The first, Tamra finally got her vagina and butt-hole waxed. It was like a horror movie...for the two male friends she forced into the waxing stall with her. No, but seriously. One of her dudes walked in and actually started screaming and clawing at his eyes while bellowing, "I SAW YOUR MUSSEL!" Classy.

The second and perhaps more pertinent event of this week's episode? Tamra and Eddie Judge got married! It happened! There was even a bike artfully dangling upside down from the ceiling and everything! Because of how Eddie loves bikes! Frankly, I'll admit -- I was pretty sure when we learned that Tamra's dresses weren't going to arrive until the morning of the ceremony that the whole deal was going to devolve into tears and stabbing.

That was not the case. It was fine. All three dresses (THREE DRESSES, Y'ALL) arrived and fit her to perfection. If anything, the whole wedding weekend was so uneventful that it was almost as dull as watching a non-reality star's wedding video. Remember how Tamra was fighting with her brother last week? Well this week they made up and hugged while crying. To be fair, that could have been because they were both drinking moonshine.

One of my favorite parts of the evening was Heather Dubrow and Vicki Gunvalson wearing matching towels to get their wedding makeup done. This excited Heather so much that she trotted out of the room to get hers when she spotted Vicki. The woman literally pranced off while singing, "Then we can be Twinkies!" Pretty sure she meant twins, but hey, maybe she also really, really, likes Hostess baked goods. 

There was no family drama at the ceremony. I wouldn't have been well-behaved. I would have been cackling at the officiant who I'm pretty sure had a fake British accent. I bet she has a second career as a sex therapist. She probably hosts all her sessions in a hot tub in her backyard. 

Everyone cried either at the ceremony or at the reception. Somewhere a tissue mogul is twirling his mustache and cackling. All the Housewives wept too -- but out of happiness! Yes, in spite of all of Eddie's concerns, the wives were present, and they mostly behaved themselves. Did Gretchen Rossi talk during the entire ceremony? Yes. Was Lydia McLaughlin inexplicably wearing a child's floral crown purchased from Claire's? Maybe. But it was as though Tamra and Eddie's love had healing properties. Even Vicki was happy, all smoochin' up on Gretchen and what have you as Eddie and Tamra cha-cha'ed the night away.

What did you think of the big event?

'Mad Men' Season 7: Creator Matthew Weiner Dishes Series Finale Details

vrijdag 13 september 2013

Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner appears to have ditched the writer's room and put season 7 on hold for the time being. Before you flip out and call the guy a slacker, let me clarify ... Weiner's first feature film, You Are Here, starring Owen Wilson and Zach Galifianakis, premiered in at the Toronto Film Festival this week. He's been hanging out with our neighbors to the north and chatting with the press.

Of course, everyone's curious about the flick but also can't help but ask him about Mad Men. And for that reason, it's a good thing he's not holed up, because he revealed some exciting details about what he's worked on so far and what we can expect when the show returns (maybe in April?!) ...

Weiner revealed to USA Today:

I opened the writer's room almost a month ago. I figure out the arc for the entire season first. I've known for a while (how it will go).

While we knew that, he made it sound like this seventh -- and most likely final -- season goes all out, leaving no stone unturned.

I don't want to leave anything on the table. It has its own organic direction.

So vague! "Organic direction"? What does that MEAN? He lets Don and Peggy and Joan and Betty, etc. lead him to the series' inevitably gasp-worthy climax? He spoke in a bit more detail to Vanity Fair:

Right now, I have a new challenge, which is how to end the show, so that is occupying my time.

But, Matt, we thought you had that ending figured out a long time ago ...?! Hmmm ...

He addressed VF's Q about whether he felt he "used up" that final image of Don looking at his childhood home with Sally, Bobby, and Gene by writing it into the finale of season 6:

I do have a different idea for the end of the series, but I’ll tell you, now that I’m at the bottom of the mountain looking up there, I have thought, “Wow, you idiot! You could have walked away from there.” But it’s an honor to have a challenge like this. And I love that 78 episodes into the series, people are telling me that they think that was the best episode of the show. How did that happen? I am lucky to have an audience that is invested. For me, the real pressure is living up to what those people expect. I do have an ending that is different than that, and hopefully when the series will be over, they will see it as another step in [Don’s] development.

Love that it sounds like what we want as fans and how we'll react to the show really is important to Weiner. He expressed to EW.com:

I went through this before with The Sopranos, and I can tell you that the audience is certainly more in your mind than it ever was.

Sounds like a good sign to me!

What do you think Matt Weiner has up his sleeve for the end of Mad Men?
