True Blood Thread!

I refer to episodes like last nights as their "sloppy Wrap Up" episodes.

That's a good way to put it. Can't expect fireworks every episode I guess. I have to say I'm almost as interested in Eric's story as the rest.

Unfortunately, it's not downloadable. I even have the Roku box that allows me to download straight to my tv.

Yeah, HBO and the other pay TV stuff aren't keen on having their shows streamed. Too worried about it hurting their DVD sales.

See that's strange, I just watched my DVR'd copy of last nights episode and am starting to come around to liking this season and where it is going.

However, at least one of the books (more like 2+) plot is being destroyed by the deviations. Without going into specifics... well it really sucks because that was some of the coolest stuff in the series.

So to sum it up: This season is starting to hook me, however I think it's going to be the "Alan Ball" show before too long because they are killing some of the major plot lines. :/

Who here thinks Franklin is not dead ( I mean really dead of course) I really like him, I know weird huh? Ive read most of the books so I know his character is based on 2 characters but darn it all, I really hope Alan ball keeps him!
I really didnt like seeing Eric with Talbott but Thank God they didnt actually do the deed!

Oh, and if you're like me and you don't have television...you can watch TB on surf the channel. It's pretty decent, I watch the megavideo links and pay $9/mo to megavideo, that way you can watch more than 1.5 hrs of video in a day.

Oh sookeh.

Anyone watching this Season? AMAZING so far. Thoughts about last episode!?

SPOILER ALERT - 8/7/2011







Why the hell didn't Jason turn!?!?!? I Was really looking forward to that!! I'm totally bummed now

 

[QBass]

SPOILER ALERT - 8/7/2011 - That bummed me out, too. I was really expecting him to become a cat of a different color or something. It blows me away they made lycanthropy hereditary only. I am, however, kind of fascinated with where they could be headed with the whole necromancy thing.

 

[mekakeisei]

they are getting better every week, just when I think that the latest one was the best one yet I just get blown away when the next one comes out.

I am getting really sick of Sookie, she is so whinney and indecisive, when Eric "put her in her place" I was sooo happy. Anyone else?

 

[QBass]

Absolutely! She is my least favorite character because she acts like she knows best (she's really quite simple minded) and whines every time things don't go her way. I just don't understand how she got so spoiled with such a wonderful gramma to raise her.

 

[Sallana]

She's not like that in the books. I had a big problem with how much they botched the Sookie character. In the books she's not miss provocative constantly wearing barely anything. She is portrayed to be a size like, 12 - 14, and she's a hell of a lot more tough. In the book, .... actually happens to her. She never just screams and ducks behind the nearest vampire like she does in the series.

*book spoilers ahead..*

She actually ends up shooting, killing, and hiding the body of Debbie Pelt. She's a lot less "I will speak for myself thank you." and a lot more "Shut the hell up.". And that whole thing where she disappears into fairy land just never happens. But she still ends up with Eric, even without him having to buy her house.

Yeah.. I agree, Sookie in the series is a bit annoying. But I think the whole hot southern bell thing sells better.
