Bon Temps!

The summer vampire series True Blood has three episodes left, and then another vampire series The Vampire Dairies will be back in October. Do you find that all vampire stories happened in the middle of the United State? Let’s explore the vampire town in True Blood. It’s Bon Temps.

As we heard in True Blood, Bon Temps is in the Louisiana. Louisiana was inhabited by Native Americans when European explores arrived in the sixteenth century.  The state has been governed under 10 different flags beginning in fifteen forty-one with Hernando de Soto's claim of the region for Spain. In Louisiana, both English and French are the official languages, so you will hear people speak French. Base on the history of Louisiana, you will see a lot French culture in Bon Temps. The French people in Bon Temps are called Cajun. Here, you have to try Cajun cuisine. Gumbo is a famous Cajun soup in Bon Temps. It is a soup influenced by Native American and African food culture.

In Bon Temps, you can visit the shooting locations of True Blood, such as Sookie Starkhouse’s house, Vampire Bill’s house and Sam’s bar. Only one thing you can’t see is the vampire. Don’t worry about vampires bite you at night and the fairies hear your mind secretly. You are all safe when you are visiting in Bon Temps.

NBC Is Getting On The Vampire Page.

Fans of TV series, you may be getting boring in summer because many TV series are taking a break a summer. True Blood and Under The Dome are probably the TV series you are following. Just keep your patience, all the popular TV series are coming back in two months.

In the early post of TV Duo blog, we talked about the vampire TV series. After checking the TV shows schedule, you will find out that the vampire TV series never get out of our TV. We are watching True Blood season 6 this summer. Vampire Dairies is coming back in September, and the new series The Originals which is divine from Vampire Dairies will be shown in fall as well. The vampires are on our TVs all year long.

If you are really a big fan of vampires and think those vampire series are not enough for you, you will have one more show in fall. NBC just announced that the new vampire TV series will start on October 25th. This TV series is called Dracula.

Apparently, the story is about the original vampire Dracula. After the pilot preview, some comments said that there was much less blood, sex and fighting in this series. It seems that Dracula is not a typical vampire series, but is NBC taking a risk when we are getting tired of the vampire TV series? The answer will be on October.

MOAB in Under The Dome

The TV series Under The Dome just keep me curious! The fifth episode just came out last week. The most impressive scene is the bomb hits the dome when Joe is kissing Norrie.

In the show, the bomb has a name called MOAB. In military field, it is one kind of bombs. M.O.A.B. is short for Massive Ordnance Air Burst that is used to destroy hardened targets. It has a nickname - Mother Of All Bomb, which is still shortened to M.O.A.B. In the show, people in the town called it missile. Actually, M.O.A.B. is not a missile. A missile has a booster, but M.O.A.B. doesn't have it. M.O.A.B. is dropped from the airplane.

In this episode, we heard "Moab" twice. The second time is people are talking about the bomb, and the first time is the priest is talking to Big Jim. He said God said "Moab" to him. Moab is the historical name for a mountainous strip of land in Jordan. The land lies alongside much of the eastern shore of the Dead Sea. The existence of the Kingdom of Moab is attested to by numerous archeological findings. In Biblical times, the nation was often in conflict with its Israelite neighbors to the west.

Back to the show, there is nothing happened to the dome although the big bomb was dropped on it. It is good that people in town are still alive, but they are still trapped. What will happen next? Looking forward to next episode! 

2013 Emmy Award Is On The Way

2013 Emmy Award nominees announced a few days ago. The shining point of this year is that the streaming network Netflix is shown on the nominations list. House of Cards that Netflix produces is the first online TV show on the list.

Netflix has remade other production companies' TV series and movies for few years. Now, it became one of the competitors in Emmy Awards this year. Netflix has 14 nominees in 2013 Emmy Award. No one can tell whether more and more streaming production companies or networks will join this competition or not, but we can see the trend of television. Actually, more and more people watch TV shows online rather than sit in front of TV. If the competition is good, the benefit still goes to the audience, us.

On the list, American Horror Story: Asylum that has 17 nominees and Game of Thrones that has 16 nominees are ahead of others. The 2013 Emmy Award will be held on September 22nd.

Dreams are in NYADA?

In the popular musical TV series Glee, there is a famous art school called NYADA that is short for New York Academy of the Dramatic Arts. It seems become everyone's dream school in Glee. However, in our real life, this dream school doesn't exist in New York. 

Don't worry if you are a dream of art chaser. There are three famous art schools in New York. They are Tisch School of The Arts at New York, New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts and American Academy of Dramatic Arts. I think NYADA in Glee is an imagination combined with these three real schools. 

Glee just keeps reminding us of our dreams. The schools and the dreams in Glee can be fake, but our dreams are true in our heart. Go! Every dream chaser! 

Adam Lambert is going to Glee!

We are in summer, but we all miss Glee!

We may hear more rock songs in Glee season 5, because Adam Lambert has got a role in that new season.

Ryan Murphy, the producer of Glee, announced this news on his Twitter. However, he didn't say what kind of role Adam will be. I guess Adam will be an instructor of a glee club in the new season. A competitor to Mr. Schuester? This news makes us have more expectation from season 5! 

The new season is coming back on September 19th. Glee's fans are looking forward to it! Before it, let's review a song from Glee. It will definitely rock us!
