I guess I was just noting that half of the primary cast has had intimate homosexual scenes and I just wonder what it is specifically that bothers several of the thread participants about hers.

I find her character very amusing, in that soap operatic sort of "wtf is going to happen to Tara next" way. Kinda like the day time character who has been in a coma since she was hit by a train on her way back from the kidney dialysis treatment where she ran into the man who posed as her father as a child but was really an escaped serial killer from Portugal... ya know?

anywho... just curious

I don't know why, but Tara's lesbian scenes and new story line wasn't exciting to me.

I think it would have been better if she had been turned into a vampire then had a sexual affair with Sookie.

Tara's lesbianism is boring. It doesn't fit her character AT ALL. Why would she turn to a woman? Why would she be in some obviously rigged girl-on-girl fight scene?

It just feels like HBO's playing to the straight male crowd who always want to see girls hook up. That mentality is just gross to me. Let me caveat this with I don't see that mentality in your statement, Jess, but I do see it in some folks who watch this show. They seem to get titillated by it and that bugs me.

Especially when it's half-assed soft porn that's not even very good porn.

Attention everybody: Tara is not a lesbian. Did you SEE the sexual tension with her and Sam? She's clearly pan/bisexual. And I'm good with that. I knew I liked that girl!

Me? I thought it HAWT! HAWT! HAWT! Matter of fact, if I slow rewind and slow advance a couple of scenes it just gets hotter.

I guess the reason it bothers me, is that no one has had any "less than positive" things to say about the "lesbian" scenes with Pam or SophieAnn. Not to mention any ill regard for the scenes with Bill/ Sam ( fantasy/ dream scene) or Eric/ Talbot.

Why is this? Seriously, what is the difference that makes someone see Tara's sex scenes as icky or tiresome or whatever? Never saw a word said when she was being tortured and raped. Hmmm...

Edited to add: oh yeah, I forgot Lafayette/ Jesus. The entire show ( including the marquis in the opening credits "God Hates Fangers") reflects the LGBT struggle, why is this one aspect bothering to folks?

I just thought the boots were funny. I liked Tara best with Eggs, they were HOT! Especially dancing!

Love me some Pam! Maybe Tara will decide she likes Vampires and be with Pam

Debbie? up to no good.

Tara is whiny, bitchy, and annoying. The less time she is on screen, the better.

I usually love her, but I agree, last night she was just annoying.

Granted, she has been through a lot....but bring sexy Tara back!

oh... do you have spoilers?

Cause I'm going to really pissed if babyvamp is dead or it Pam kills Tara's girl...

Logical speaking.... Jess dying is logical. She wasn't in the books and she is well beloved.... Still going to be pissed and may stop watching... (well, until erik is back to himself... then... well...)

I like pam... I won't be able to like pam is she kills that chick... cause it would be too evil... if that makes any sense...

6 hours to go...

Not really. I do watch the clips for the next episode and the previews on hbo.com and something I saw in one of those made me think it was unlikely that Jessica died. But I could be wrong.

I hope I'm right, though! I love Jess!
