True Blood

PeteSB75 · 10-23-2008, 09:33 PM

Been watching this show. Very strange. Interesting, but definitely unusual. Certainly not a typical vampire show, but I expect no less from Alan Ball. Very interesting relationships between the characters. Got to wonder where they are going with Sookie's ability. I'm one episode back, so just saw Bill turned in flashback. Wonder how long or if we will see him turn Sookie.

I love this show. I make sure to free up my sunday night to catch it. Best part is Dexter is on right after this

Great episonde last week. We learned more about Sookie and saw Sam running naked in a field(obviously after shapechanging). Tara's mom had her exorcism and Tara found out she had a demon also. Plus the new vamps in town are assumed to have burned up in the fire.

Love this show and can't wait til this week's episode.

Loving this show, I wasn't sure about it after the first few episodes, but I am definitely hooked now.

I'm really digging this series. It's always interesting to see the different rules set up for vamps in each series. The true blood (beer) is a neat twist, as well as the non-threat for crosses, holy water, or garlic, however silver has a main role. The first time I think I ever saw silver having an affect on vampires was Blade.

Plus I dig Sookie's uniform.

Haven't seen the show yet. Is this show based on a book? My wife may have picked it up.

We used to watch Blood Ties, and wifey is reading those books.

Right now we are watching the 2nd season of Supernatural.

Yes, it is based on a series of eight books written by New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris that were first published in 2001 called
The Southern Vampire Mysteries.
In the Intro to the show at the very end it mentions it.

I got these saved up on tivo, gotta get around to checking out the series soon....

Neuromancer · 10-24-2008, 08:46 PM

It gets better every episode...

Comicbookfreak · 10-27-2008, 03:59 AM

Tought this weeks episode was pretty good. They should start to show more of Eric now in the show. Also curious to see what happens to Tara.

This show does seem to get better each week. Let's just hope that HBO doesn't cancel another good show as they has done in the past.

If they canceled it I would be angry, vampire movies always just make you want to watch vampire shows and there never around!

can't wait until tomarrow =)

Have not seen this weeks episode yet so i won't read everything out there. The show started to drag i almost gave up on it. Glad I stuck it out. i love on Demand . It lets me watch the Unit and True Blood later in the Week.

Jdbwolverines · 11-25-2008, 12:02 PM

Season finale this last weekend. I really enjoyed this season. It got picked up by HBO and the new season is suppose to start in early summer.

icehog3 · 11-25-2008, 02:01 PM

Hope they can make next season just as interesting....too bad HBO makes us wait so long between seasons though.

11-25-2008, 03:30 PM

It makes me wish I found out about this show a couple years from now so I could watch three seasons in 3 days on the internet=P

Same here Geoff, we get in front of the TV every Sunday for this, then Entourage. It's a shame they're both over now.
