If you have HBO Go (on your PC/Mac or Mobile Device) you can watch the first 8 minutes of the new “True Blood” season premier. You can also find some lesser quality versions on youtube as well. If you want to know what goes down . . . . . read on!

Sookie finds herself brought to the fairy kingdom by her fairy god mother. Everyone is eating “light fruits” and basically have a grand old time. Sookie runs into Barry the Bellboy there, and then she sees a familiar face . . . her grandfather! Gary Cole plays Sookie’s grandpa, who is still fairly young. He’s been gone for 20 years, apparently in a daze with many of the others in fairy land thanks to the fruits.

We soon meet Mab, queen of the fairies. It turns out she’s lured everyone there with plans to destroy the human world somehow. There are other fairies who are against Mab, and help Sookie and her grandfather to escape. At the end of the clip they have to jump into some canyon, which is a portal back to earth.

So last night was the season finale of “Army Wives.” There is going to be a sixth season, all be a shorter one at the moment based on the initial episode order (13 episodes). Last nights finale probably was supposed to serve as a series finale, should it have not been picked up.

Witt returned to help Roxy fix issues with the Truck Stop. It also opened up a conversation Roxy and Trevor had with the boys about their biological fathers, after Finn overheard the truth about Witt. A touching scene, which does open up the possibility of T.J.’s father being seen at some point . . . even though Roxy told him the guy was not a nice man.

Joan and David finally bonded in this episode, with him calling her mom.

Denise helped Tonya accept that Jeremy was gone, and that it was okay to move on with her life and be happy. She never said she was pregnant . . . . but with another season there is still time!

The main story was the trouble General Holden and Pamela ended up in after a disgruntled police employee in the evidence room released a partial tape from a cruiser dash cam which appeared to show a drunk Michael having trouble walk the line. After a lot of drama, Michael and Pamela were both cleared. Michael was not drunk, the short clip was out of context, his troubles were due to a back injury acting up.

The show ended with the news that Fort Marshall would be closing and their division was being disbanded and reorganized. The final scene all involved the wives (and Roland) agreeing to meet once a year no matter where they ended up. Pamela revealed she and Chase would be moving to California, Chase had a job offer there. Frank had been put up for a job in Italy. Claudia Joy pointed out the base wasn’t closed yet, it would be at least 6 months before they really had to say goodbye . . . .

My guess is the sixth (and maybe final?) season will deal with the closing of the base and the wives going their separate ways.

Not sure how I missed THIS bit of news earlier in the week . . . but it pretty much seals the deal for me that this show is dunzo . . . . at least for me.

Sources confirm to TVLine exclusively that Trevor Donovan — whose heretofore-closeted alter ego Teddy was at the center of a high profile coming out storyline last season — will not be returning to The CW soap as a series regular for Season 4.

They squandered the most interesting and highly publicized story of the season, they shoved crazy cousins and Adrianna down our throats, and then they dissed Aunt Becky and Mr. English Teacher in the finale.

I can safely say I won’t be making it a priority to watch “90210” on Mondays anymore.

So next week is the season finale of “Army Wives.” I’m not sure where they are going with all the stories, but have some guesses.

Denise returned to work at the base hospital and was stunned to see Tonya there. Tonya claimed she decided not to leave the army and go to college as planned, she had been assigned to finish her current rotation out here. Denise kept trying to get her to come over, or go out to dinner. Tonya made excuses, but at the end came to see Denise crying how all alone she felt. I am just waiting for her to reveal she’s pregnant. I have felt that’s been coming this whole time.

Pamela’s evaluation with Boone continued, and she aced it. She also let him know, finally, she didn’t like this new girl he was seeing, he could do better. A tense shoot-out at a drug house made the news, and Chase got worried about Pamela. He “finally” understood how she must have felt this whole time with him on Delta. He has been offered a job in LA doing private security stuff, and suggests they move out there. Of course this probably won’t fly with Pamela. The first time she’s in danger and he wants her to give up her job? She never actually wanted Chase to leave the Army, just Delta so he could actually be home more than he was. I have a feeling things aren’t going to be left pretty for these two come the finale. Feels a bit like Deja Vous!

I’m not sure where they are going with the Burton’s and David. I’m going to guess that he’s going to get beat up by the kids at school, leading to an HIV scare.

Finally both Michael and Emmalynn are struggling at work and school. I wasn’t that interested in their storylines. The left things with a shocker in the last episode, having it appear that Michael was about to be busted for a DWI. However he wasn’t. Where is their storyline going? I am guessing Michael will consider leaving the army. I also wonder if Chandler will be back for the finale. What was the point of creating that drama, when it went nowhere?
