Now that ‘Game of Thrones’ has finished its season for the year, HBO fills that programming void on Sunday nights with its next biggest original series. ‘True Blood’ has returned for its sixth season. Traditionally, premiere and finale episodes have not been among this show’s strengths. Does this one change that trend?

This Sunday is Father’s Day, the holiday where you show the paternal figure in your life how much you appreciate all he’s done for you with the gift of an ugly tie. While we contemplate the injustice of that, let’s take a look at some of our favorite movie and TV dads in today’s Roundtable.

Last week brought us the eighth and final episode of the first season of ‘Da Vinci’s Demons’. It has been a somewhat uneven season, but the show finished its freshman year strong. However, the producers couldn’t resist leaving us with a cliffhanger.

Unfortunately, it looks as if the perpetually downtrodden duo of Linden and Holder will spend much, if not all, of this season of ‘The Killing’ tracking a serial killer. Is this the last gasp of a show that technically already gasped last?

Among the many things I like about the show, I enjoy the way that ‘Hannibal’ regularly breaks from its procedural case-of-the-week formula to integrate recurring storylines that will come back around. Last Thursday’s episode saw the return of a guest star who’d previously created one of the most memorable characters on the series.

The third season of ‘Game of Thrones’ drew to a close on Sunday. With just ten episodes each, these seasons are far too short!

From the network that brings you such inexplicably popular mediocrities as ‘Rizzoli & Isles’ and ‘Franklin & Bash’ comes TNT’s latest primetime filler drama about a pair of adorably quirky detective investigators, ‘King & Maxwell’. This one stars Rebecca Romijn, who is very pretty and nice to look at. Hence my reason for giving it the benefit of one episode. I will not make that mistake again.

This is the story of six strangers picked to live in a house, work together and bust criminals, to find out what happens when undercover law enforcement officers stop being polite and start getting real. (Sadly, this show has nothing to do with Elvis, or Paul Simon.)

Product placement in movies and TV is certainly not a new development, but it seems to be getting more overt and annoying in recent years. As far as I can tell, this week’s theatrical release of ‘The Internship’ is essentially a 119-minute commercial for Google that we’re expected to pay upwards of $15 a ticket for the privilege of sitting through. For today’s Roundtable, we look at other examples of blatant and obnoxious product placement.

A lot happens in the season’s penultimate episode of ‘Da Vinci’s Demons’. Entitled ‘The Hierophant’, the episode is packed with a number of major events that seem to set us up for Season 2.
