Godric. His name is Godric... but WTF with him anyway? Is he like a Buddist vampire ghost? Vampires are not supposed to have souls, how can you be a ghost without a soul? Jeeze....... Lame lame lame Smoke monsters..... Lame lame lame The fairy bar.......... Lame lame lame They've not explained Lillith or her tie to vampires. None of the known legends about Lillith have anything at all to do with vampires. I do like Martha's character and the puppy is a cute touch. |

I'm with y'all about everything y'all have said. I did like Pam's hair.....alot. And how she tries to be supportive. Then gets all pretend tough. So hot.
All the rest of it is pretty much stupid as hell. I doubt that I will follow the television show past this season. The books are still good and I'll keep reading them. Maybe the producers neededtohave read the books too. ![]() |

Oh, the second best thing besides Pam's crimped hair was the line that Bud, the retired sheriff said to Andy, when he asked Andy if he was finished.
It was something to the effect that he had to get back to the hot tub because he had some "male enhancement ointment". That made me laugh out loud. Martina, great tip about Television without Pity! I had never heard of it before but since my pity for True Blood is in very short supply these days, I better check it out. Oh Scoote, very funny about Godric being a Buddist ghost! I think we have our own TV without pity thread going on right up in here! ![]()

Okay. Now it's just kinda like watching Monty Python. It's just so over the top it's a comedic farce.

It's reminding me more and more of Lost actually. There were a couple of laugh out loud moments, one when Sookie apologized to Jason for hitting him with a blast of her fae power and he said not to worry, that she'd just gotten him in the head. Can't remember the second one.
It was awesome when Pam said to Tara something like "You don't know me. My happy face looks just like my mad face." Ewww to Sam almost kissing himself. Triple ewww to Russell spanking and flirting with that former born again creepy boy vampire. I wanted to say, "Russell, you would never had stooped so low if you hadn't been stoned. You can do better." Some of Andy's responses were chuckle worthy. "Come on, buttplug." And just his reactions -- his face. Oh and when he said, "I hate this town." Chuckled again. The seance was funny until the end. Pitting the two vets against each other -- another Lost moment. But Lafayette's faking the seance at first made me smile. And everyone else at the table was right on. Well done scene. (I want that table by the way. Nice woodworking.) Alcide's ass -- yes! And Hoyt getting over his Jessica obsession -- thank you, Jesus. It's so ironic that Jason and Eric are the voices of wisdom and compassion. Jason's talk to Sookie was so full of appreciation for how precious the little good one can get out of life is. There was a shot of him later in the background. He looked older and defeated, jaded, but thoughtful. It's interesting what they are doing with his character. |

I love the show and as Mariamma noted, Pam's line, "My mad face is like my happy face" is an example of dialogue that sounds utterly new to me, as have other snippets, including "Peace is for pussies," "Humility is for humans," and "You smell awesome! What are you?"—none of which make sense outside of the social construct the show makes.
One of my least favorite aspects of the show is the heavy-handed analogizing with contemporary diversity politics. It's fun to read people's comments about the show. |

I liked the irony of the usually-aloof vampires walking down Bourbon Street all drunk and gawking and rowdy as so many humans are on Bourbon Street. That whole Lilith blood party scene reminded me of my acid trip days (well, minus all the blood and killing). I guess that's why I assumed both Lilith and Godric were hallucinations.

I also like Martha's character- she's becoming more complex, more...dare I say, human. Less smoke monsters, more Were dynamics. I'm tolerating the fairies because they're investing so much time into that subplot that it must be going somewhere, right? But I have a feeling I'm going to be disappointed.

Also Eric told someone, I don't remember who now, that Russell was the strongest vampire he had ever met. Vampire strength (at least in this show) seems to be based on age. Godric knew Jesus (this was mentioned in an episode) and was older than Russell. I know I know.......it's tv ![]() Quote:
My complaint is the continual portrayal of werewolves as hulking, slavering, stupid creatures. There has been 3 cinematic exceptions to this that I am aware of; Blood and Chocolate The Twilight series TruBlood Werewolves in B&C and Twilight were given a very nice shift into actual wolves which was nice to see. I thought the Twilight wolves were a little big. The two movies that werewolves didn't look too bad were the original and the remake; Wolfman with (1941) Lon Chaney Wolfman (2010) with Benicio Del Toro & Anthony Hopkins |

Seems like the shifters and were folk in Trueblood are the rednecks of the supernatural world, the werepanthers being the most in-bred and ignorant.
I do not find them that appealing, except for Alcide. Even Sam reminds me of guys I grew up with. Country boys in most respects except they played a few Eagles songs on the guitar and had read On the Road. |

Bill's been so political and mealy mouthed lately that I was actually surprised when he told the truth to Salome and said that he thought that mainstreaming was right.

Speaking of that on a bit of a tangent.....where the hell do these people work? We have the bar, which Bill owns, the local PD, and the guys that work for the city/county/parish. Most recently we have the gun shop. Even Mayberry had a barbershop. Quote:
