@differentcatcat - He just arrived - just caught site of you - what a smile - get him home with you now!
Ok, early last year, I was down a rabbit hole in iTunes, looking for Alexander Skarsgard's personal playlist (s), and I came across an album called "Red Danger" by a digital artist called "The Alex Digital Project". On further review, all albums by this artist were compiled, completed and loaded to Apple iTunes during the weeks that Murderbot was in production/filming in Canada (March thru May, 2024)for Apple TV+. The music is all digital & sounds like maybe background music for (oh, i don't know...) Murderbot, maybe? His IG account was RexDanger before it was taken down, and most of the singles that I found have titles that could work very well in Murderbot episodes. Take a look & listen for yourselves!
Just take me & fly me away...

Henley Monday -
Summer time has finally come and come to stay! The sun is shining and birds are chirping and trees are budding and the lilacs smell INCREDIBLE.
So here's Alexander Skarsgard on that lovely summer staple, the beach! He looks very rugged like a field photographer for National Geographics of yore. Thumbs up.
The return of summer also means another TV staple will return to our lives. True Blood starring the Skarsgard here will be back on June 16th with all it's insane and completely bazoo plotlines. Until then enjoy this trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGgt_jllHcA&feature=player_embedded
Henley Monday - Late Edition
As promised I bring you the second installment of today's double issue of Henley Monday.
It's Alexander Skarsgard. The second star of True Blood to be featured in the series, but how could I resist? How could anyone resist that stoic Scandinavian expression? Those eyes? That HAIR? These guys are KILLING IT with the henley/hair combos!
He stares as if to beckon you to join him on that bed of leaves and stare up at the clouds in the autumn sky as you while away the hours together warmed by the sun and the laughter you share. *sigh*
"OH. MY. GAH. SHHHHHH."
Those are the exact words I announced to my empty living room this rainy Sunday night as the final few seconds of True Blood Season 5 unfolded before me.
There was no better way to end the most bat-sh*t crazy season yet than with a bat-sh*t crazy episode with the bat-sh*ttiest, craziest last ten minutes, possibly in television history.
In its honor, I present to you my top five highlights from "Save Yourself", oh, and in case it isn't obvious SPOILERS AHOY:
1) Eric's 1000 Year-Old Vengeance Accomplished: Although Russel Edgington's power-crazed, southern charm filled, perfectly coiffuered presence was one of the high points of this season (Him and Steve Newlin slow dancing to "Teenage Dream" over the corpses of drained frat brothers), he had to go. And the only just way for him to meet the true death, was for Eric Northman to finally take care of that 1000 year-old vengeance left over from the vicious slaying of all the Northman's but young Prince Eric. It also looked pretty cool, and once again saved Sookie's ass in the nick of time.
2) SWAT-team Jason: Jason has become my favorite character on this show. He's good-lookin, hilariously dim-witted, and he has the purest heart and the best of intentions. Credit must be given to Ryan Kwanten for pulling off a character with that much range. But! Tonight's arc showed poor Jason suffering from acute FIPTSD (Faery Induced Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), resulting in hallucinations of his parents encourging him on a vamp-hating mission. His best side appeared when the break-out crew arrived at the compound and he went action-hero on those vamps with kill shots and desk diving and general day-saving. Go Jay! Love Jessica, though! Really!
3) Eric's Entrances - There's a lot they get so terribly wrong on this show, but one thing they always hit on the spot is how to choreograph Eric Northman's entrances. Whether he is just in time to kill a villain, showing up to Sookie's house, or walking in on Bill going nuts, he arrives in style. The best entrance from this episode by far was when his upside-down head popped into the truck window as Jason was driving them to New Orleans. Scary, then awesome, then hilarious as he begs "Pleeease!" As Retta said, "Eric's got jokes!"
4) Best Vampire Death Evaaarrr - Sam remains super hot, super scruffy and super loyal, and Luna remains the most annoying and unnecessary character on the show. This lent itself perfectly to the best.vampire death.ev.ar. Sam exploding through Chancellor Rosalyn and just standing there covered in her entrails was so gross it was hilarious and thoroughly satisfying. It also freaked out Luna and probably gave Emma some severe emotional scarring, but that's something we will not have to deal with if Lilith be merciful. Speaking of...
5) Billith Fair - Bloody Hell! My mouth was hanging open for the full final 3 minutes of this episode. Sookie crying and Bill being the WORST and then Bill drinking ALL the Lillith blood then Bill EXPLODING then Eric comforting the weeping Sookie then the blood puddle undulating and reforming into the body of a blood-covered, crazy, HUGE fanged reincarnation of Lillith through Bill. Or, as he shall be forever hence be known: Billith.
My thoughts exactly, guys. Can't wait until next season!!!
