A few quick words about what I've been watching.
Big spoiler for True Blood, so if you haven't seen this season's first episode yet, be careful.
This season of Discovery's Deadliest Catch has been great so far, the immature grandstanding of the Hillstrands and their Time Bandit crew notwithstanding. Things got off to a rocky King crab start, with Captain Phil Harris still on the disabled list (blood clot issues), and the horrible loss of seven men on a vessel called the Katmai (not a regularly featured boat). Now the Opilio crab season just began on the show, and there have been some major equipment breakdowns and a so-called rogue wave that beat up the crew of the Wizard pretty badly. It's riveting stuff. From the previews of this week's show it looks like the Cornelia Marie gets caught by the ice flow and the Northwestern's Captain Sig falls ill. Oh no! And my favorite Captain, Phil Harris of the Cornelia Marie, is back in the wheelhouse for Opis, smoking like a chimney despite his serious health issues.
Wipeout, ABC's homage to Japanese game shows like Takeshi's Castle, is in its second summer season and yes, I actually watch it. We all do in our house. It's nowhere near as good as MXC, but you know what? It's pretty damn funny. Especially the Big Red Balls. And sometimes you just need to laugh until you start coughing.
I'm most excited about the return of HBO's True Blood! Last night was the second episode of the show's second season and so far, I have been loving it. Especially because Lafayette IS NOT DEAD. He may be undead soon, but that's better than dead! These two episodes have been really great, and I thought last night's was especially well-written. There were some really funny lines and the action is really moving along. I can't wait to see what happens next!
We're also still hanging in there with CBS' Harper's Island. It got off to a decent start, but then got really bogged down and stupid around the middle and we almost dropped it. Then, suddenly things got really good. It was the episode where the father got the head spade in the...well, in the head. Since then they've maintained a really good level of suspense and have been pretty consistently killing off characters. We're down to three remaining episodes, and there was a big reveal of who the killer is on Saturday. Now we wait to find out why and who his accomplice is.

I am dying to watch the second episode of True Blood.
I was so happy to see Lafayette. :)
I became convinced he was being held under Maryanne's swimming pool. There had been that scene early in the episode where it looked like a drop of water dripped down from the ceiling and Lafayette liked it and spat it out. I thought it might have been chlorinated after we saw Tara and the boy out by the pool.
