True Blood
I DVRed an episode of True Blood on HBO. I'm not sure if it's the first one, because I thought it was an upcoming series, not a current one. Looks interesting so far, but I was wondering if it's been on for a while (more than a week), and I'm curious as to what others think.

The espidoe is called "Strange Love."

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”

Mad crazy, I was going through list of stuff I DVRed, saw True Blood. Decided to watch it, see the name of the episode and title and wondering if it is the pilot or what. But now as it is starting up it said "AND NOW THE PREMIER OF THE HBO ORIGINAL SERIES...TRUE BLOOD" So yeah, it's the start of it.

The first episode was Sunday. I wanted to like it but I found it quite boring. I'll try and watch the second episode to see if it gets any better for me but I have little hope.

I thought it was pretty good myself. I'm not completely sold on it or anything, but I liked the pilot enough to keep watching.

I loved the presence of Bill Maher on TV, interviewing the Vampire Rights chick. I like the idea of synthetic blood allowing vamps the option of living in society. I like the concept of "V-Juice" junkies and the idea of prejudice based on mere suspicion.

There are a lot of concepts they used that helped sell me, so if the plot good in upcoming episodes, I may love this series. Of course, if the plot sucks, the basic concepts are meaningless.

I'm beginning to like this show, it's not only well written(IMO at least) but episode 6 Anna Paquin got nude then in episode 7 Lizzy Caplan(who was in Freeks and Geeks, the short season 2 of Tru Calling and a couple episodes of Smallville) got nude in episode 7. I just wonder how much better this show can get as it's not the nudity that makes so good.

From IMDB:

The series follows Sookie Stackhouse, a barmaid living in Louisiana who can read people's minds, and how her life is turned upside down when the Vampire Bill, walks into her place of employment two years after vampires 'came out of the coffin' on national television


It's actually pretty good, I wasn't sure after watching the pilot but after 4 episodes I'm really getting into to it.

Deborah has been watching this show constantly, it's alright, but I find all the pointless sex irritating. So much of it is not at all story driven. It's just there.

Vampire story. Sookie Stackhouse is a mind reader who works at a bar in Bon Temps. She is attracted to the Vampire William Compton because, aside from his other traits, she cannot read his mind. Or that of any vamp, evidently.

Problem is, people start turning up dead, including one of Sookie's coworkers. Bill is naturally a suspect, and Sookie sets out to find out the truth. Bill insists that the murders weren't even done by a Vampire, but naturally, nobody's going to believe him.

There are a lot of interesting elements to the series (both the books and the TV show) as they deal with the societal issues of any minority. Especially when said minority has a clear dangerous streak. There is a synthetic blood that vamps can drink, but not everyone wants to "integrate." There are vampire bars, and a subculture of people who frequent them. V-Juice, a street name for vampire blood, has all sorts of properties, including healing powers and a sex enhancer that makes Viagra look like a placebo.

This is the ghood kind of Sci-Fi/Fantasy, where the fantastic elements aren't really as important as the story and the characters. CTS is right about gratuitous sex, though, but it's kind of a genre staple.

I watched the first 3 episodes and couldnt get into it. Got tired of the black chick ( Hope she's the co worker who turned up dead ). I cant tell you if it was just slow or if it just wasnt my sort of thing. I dont really know. I wanted to like it, but i just didnt. Anna Paquin looks hot though. Gotta catch the episode where she showed her hoo haa's

Reading the first novel. This series is VERY similar to the books from what I've seen so far. The plot is very similar, and a lot of the dailogue is close or verbatim.

I'm really digging it, though.

I just watched episode 7, the more I watch this the more I like it. it's fairly upfront with its treatment of issues like racism (against Vampires) and drug use/addiction, the Vampire blood (V-Juice). There is no clear cut heros and villians, it's good.

I hope it goes for more than one season.

True Blood
Just watched that vampire show starring Anna Paquin. Just saw the first episode, and I must say, I thought it was really good. Had a great sense of humour to it, and you have to love the way it inserts Paquin in a bikini and a few sex scenes here and there.

A few of the plot developments seem a little bizarre, and unlike much I have seen in a series before. The whole subplot with her brother seems so abitrary, but I'm sure it will have some sort of importance.

I can't help be reminded of supernatural shows such as Buffy, and the like, but hopefully it really furthers it own personality. You in the US have probably gotten a chance to see how it really develops. Good show?

Just read it got picked up for a second season. I'm really hopeful about this turning into one of my favourites. I like it so much better than Mad Men so far.

Pfft

I have seen the whole first season, really enjoyed it. Looking forward to see how it carries over, as it stops on a nice cliffhanger.

'Jase Everett - Bad things' is a top song also.

Ive only seen one episode but I enjoyed it...first two minutes of the episode had a vampire getting stabbed and blood flying everywhere...

All I know is that my girlfriend is a really huge fan of the show and gets super pissed when she misses an episode.

Girls generally dig shit about vampires, which has made me cynical towards vampire shit, but I'm liking this show. The second episode wasn't nearly as great as the first, in my opinion, because the relationship between the vampire and the girl is a bit cliche, but it left a good cliffhanger.

And the intro is fucking awesome, as jaycool2k said. I hope the show keeps the attitude that song and intro put out, and create a sort of subtly sinister and clever vampire show. We'll see how it goes, though.

The sex scenes in this show are awesome, by the way.

I'm going to watch season 1 again to get "'in the mood".

One of the better shows on TV last year.

I was thinking more "The first season ends with the beginning of the second book, so it looks like they're going to follow the plot."

I'm not going to say anything specific, but...

I really hope they do follow the book. Not because I like Erik or want to piss you off, but because Erik is a solid foil in the book, and I love the character development in it. I mean, if you hated him before, you will likely still hate him, but I doubt you'll be bothered by the seaason.

Seriously, this is why I have trouble getting into shows on regular channels. Because the quality of HBO shows is so high, that everything else pales in comparison.

Yeah, forgot it was a book. Maybe if they utilize him more this season, I will love to hate him.

In a show with vampires I find it sad the the only teeth that frighten me are those of Anna Paquins.

I'll explain why I think so.

I think that the story moved along very quickly, which didn't allow for character development people are used to seeing from HBO shows. There was too much fluff in the stories. They seemed to throw random shit in there aside from vampires, like Sam turning into a dog, that woman that caused the black girl to crash her car etc.

Its been quite a while since I've seen the show (I watched all the episodes) so I'm sure I could provide more reasons why I didn't like it as much, but I can't be bothered to go back and provide them.

I think it just could have been better. Disappointed with it ultimately. I guess it doesn't suck, it just isn't as good as it could be.

Anyone else a fan of this show




Bought the dvd set of season 1 and absolutely love this show

100 times better then that shitty Twilight crap

the acting is a little sub par at times but it really hooks ya in

Bill Savage went over to the (Stu Hart) house and one of the Hart kids was running around with his hair wet. Savage asked why his hair was wet. Stu said, "the little bast--d broke a vase this morning, so I stuck his head in the toilet. Want me to show you again?"
