Jacob's Foot is feeling Supersonic.

Before things get under way here in the ol' Foot, I have a link to provide you all with. It's a cover story about Michael Jackson written in 1983 for Rolling Stone when Michael could do no wrong but you'll notice things.

His intense shyness was present, his quiet and frightened self when he wasn't on stage was present. Quincy Jones reveals a poignant behind the scenes fact about the recordin of "She's Out Of My Life." But there's some stuff in here that'll make you think about the speculation about the circumstances of his death and it's all very tragic.

TRUE BLOOD

'True Blood' returned after a one-week hiatus. I don't think I'll devote too many words to the recap now. It's a good show but it is what it is I suppose.

In this episode, Jason took a massive leap to crazed religious fanatic, the Fellowship of the Sun attempted to kidnap Sookie, Bill got mad at Eric for Sookie-related reasons, Maryann became even more annoying and might launch me into a rant about a certain actress' time on Everwood, Eggs and Tara copulated (and Tara's mightily important to/for the bulljawnMaryann), Lafayette is in fact not a vampire (and I was fooled by the previews) and was healed by Eric, Sam has changed his tune completely with Daphne and they also most likely copulated as the bulljawn showed herself as the bulljawn, and then we got a very cool ending with Sookie meeting Matt, a dude who also reads thoughts.

Perhaps it was The Pen's emphasis on Jack Taschner being waived by the Phils or the fact that I re-lived the terrible swoon the Phils fell into before wrapping up yesterday's fantastic 9-1 homestand, I didn't care for this episode. Ken Tucker of EW.com declared it the best of the season. Alan Ball wrote it. But eh. Everything started coming together in a rather anti-climatic way. I know Jason's being used by the Sun. It hasn't been revealed but I know that'll be the endpoint for that particular storyline. He might have sex with the Rev's wife. He probably will. But since they wanted Sookie, there's a reason Jason is moving so fast through the ranks. I don't really care about the storyline though. It was interesting when Jason was torn but now that he's not it sorts of sucks.

I've complained about Maryann for the last few weeks now. The same old happened in this episode with her. She threw a party, it turned into Eyes Wide Shut. Only this time we found out she's the bulljawn. Tara's also important. Any one who wrongs her will be killed or nearly killed. I'm getting a whole Anne Heche in season 3 of Everwood vibe from Maryann. Season Three of Everwood was a pretty damn fine season but Anne Heche detracted from the season mightily. Maryann is going to destroy season two for me. The character AND the actress. Yes.

As for the dude who reads thoughts whose name may or may not be Matt, I think it's going to be a cool plotline.

TO LOST WE GO!

Yet again there will not be an episode of the day. I've got them waiting in the wings. The next one will be from season one. If you guess which one, I will feel indifferent about it! Knock your socks off!

Michael Emerson believes that LOST will ultimately end sadly. He feels that the show will end bittersweetly. The first thing that popped in my mind wasn't how I think it's going to end because it's me and I don't look that far ahead. I just want SciFi (or as they call it now SyFy) to return to airing the re-runs. Of course I can watch LOST whenever I want to likes to digital video discs. It is sweet turning on SyFy at 1AM and watching in HD though. I digress. What popped in my mind immediately was nothing really. I was eating pizza and fries. I now am just thinking about how talkative these actors have become. We've got Matthew Fox talking about how it'll all end (and Darlton telling a European newspaper that Matthew Fox doesn't know that much) and Emerson speaks up. I don't have a problem with it. It's just interesting. I liked Emerson speaking out more because I actually felt safe reading it. This is all leading me to this: Darlton ended radio silence early! I'm sort of offended. They don't speak until Comic-Con but they spoke to media in Europe where LOST was being honored. Yes, ladies and gentleman, the last radio silence for the show has come to end. I feel like this paragraph had two news-worthy items. Thank you!

OASIS OFF!

Exciting stuff last week. Continuing on with...

"Supersonic"



AND FINALLY A QUOTE FROM TWOP'S DAWSON'S CREEK RECAP INVOLVING THE KILLER ICE CREAM CONE TO END THINGS!
"Time for the most hysterical scene ever. Dawson visits the Flash's grave and plops right down on the grass and starts chatting. "How's it going?" he begins. Up in heaven, the Flash licks a vanilla cone and snorts that he's dead -- how does Dawson think he's doing?"

Originally, I titled the blog Jacob's Foot after the giant foot that Jacob inhabited in LOST. That ended. It became TV With The Foot in 2010. I wrote about a lot of TV.
