What to watch Sunday? The Killing S2 Finale? True Blood? Falling Skies S2 premiere? NBA finals?

I am just overwhelmed by the upcoming Sunday TV line up. Chances are I will be watching the game with the rest of Oklahoma City but you better believe that come Monday I will be in front of the tube (can we even call televisions that anymore???) catching up with everything that I missed.

Falling Skies - (TNT, 2 hour premiere, check local listings)
If you haven't seen season 1 of this sci-fi series, you really missed out. With that, stop reading. You won't get it and I'm about to talk about the finale last year. Just go to Amazon and spend your hard earned cash. You can buy the 1st episode for $1.99 and make your judgement without committing to an entire DVD set.

Got that out of the way....
Last time we saw Tom, he was getting on that aliens little ship. What on earth could have happened? I heard/read somewhere that the premiere will not pick up right where we left off. All I know is these aliens seem to be changing the humans they bother to capture. I am looking forward to another season of the 2nd Mass kicking some Mech and Skitter ass! Particularly those Skitters...yuck.
Speaking of Skitters...The part I'm most looking forward to is more info on who these "things" are. We have been shown they too were harnessed. Were they like us? Waiting on the definitive answer to that one.

True Blood - (HBO, 8pm CST Sundays)
Last week's premiere finally put an end to the "what's to become of poor Tara" questions. Now I have other questions about that arc. We know Tara's gonna be pissed but how pissed and at who exactly? Will she be able to come to terms with her fate or will she find a way to meet the True Death? Is she "fucktarded" now? Is she gonna have to live with Pam? Have we seen where Pam lives? (The problem here is reading the books and watching the series. Makes it hard to keep straight. Sorry.)
Other things I am looking forward to seeing on S5E2..
RUSSELL!! One of the BEST villains on television. O'Hare is amazing in this part. Steals the show without fail. Ready to see him.
Eric, Bill and The Authority. All the hype leading up to this better pay off. On this show, I have yet to be disappointed. My jaw literally dropped when Bill and Eric took out Nan and her posse. How will they manage this one?
Alcide, Sookie and Debbie...well, dead Debbie. Will Alcide find out? Probably. Will he be pissed? Maybe. I mean he tried to make things work and be the better person. Debbie just couldn't do it. And boy, she effed up and paid for it. I think he will find out, be angry for a few episodes, go all wolf on some people and then go back to pining over Sookie. (Pam has a point...stupid name.)
Best thing about this show is the part serious and part camp aspects. While one character is having a serious moment (Newlin coming out, Tara losing Eggs, Andy facing addiction), the others are busy doing crazy stuff and giving hilarious one liners about someone else's taste in clothes. 

The Killing - (AMC, 9pm CST)
I already said my piece about this show. With that, I can't tell you how excited I am to finally get to find out what really happened. I hope this isn't the last season but chances are it will be. It's a shame. I guess Americans are too busy watching reality TV to take time to watch something with some thought put into it. Whether it comes back or not, the actors from this show should look forward to a very stunning career. They are all sublime.

NBA Finals, Game 3 - (ABC, 7pm CST)
I'm not even gonna recap Game 1 of the NBA Finals. You can find a much more qualified opinion at ESPN. I will be watching and rooting for my home team. (And making sure I have everything prepared to make my TV look like Sunday night on a Monday afternoon.)
