    Alan Ball's Six Feet Under is gone from contention, so let's go True Blood! Plus I can't believe the havoc The Shield wreaked on two great shows already...

    The Shield kicked ass.
    "So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."

    I had my infatuations, but we both know in our hearts who is the sole love of my short, bright life.

    If True Blood beats The Shield, I may be done with you people forever.

    Why do you have such intense hatred for True Blood?

    I went with The Shield. I actually really enjoy True Blood, but no amount of fantasizing about Eric Northman can make up for the sheer awesomeness that was The Shield.

    Why? Alan Ball hasn't let me down yet. From American Beauty to True Blood, all his work has been stellar.

    It is based on books that make Twilight look like fine literature.
    It has bad accents.

    The books certainly aren't literary marvels, but I enjoyed them and they aren't nearly as bad as Twilight. I can't really speak for the accents, since I am not from La. Accents from the south are almost always butchered in film and television. I was terrified that they would destroy Kentucky accents in the show Justified. They actually didn't do a horrible job in that, though. I actually think that the show True Blood is actually a little better than the books, accents aside.
    There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.

    I prefer the books to the programme. They are trashy but compulsive at the same time. As far as the accents go, I couldn't really say, I think southern accents in the US probably get as exaggerated and hammed up as west country accents over here do.
