TRUE BLOOD

[Yeah Sure Whatever]

Totally busted

[mystima]

what is funny now is that i have read almost all the books. my husband got me into the tv show and now he is reading the books....hehehe

[Yeah Sure Whatever]

What book are you on? I've read them all multiple times (except book 1) and I think 4 and 8 (or is it 9) were my favorites

[mystima]

where Sookie met her great granddad

[Yeah Sure Whatever]

Oh yeah I really like that book which ever one it is!

[Ka-mai]

I tried not to read all of the posts in here for spoilers, but I've watched the first five episodes and I have the first two books with me, thanks to a friend.

Sookie is fucking annoying, sorry. I can't stand her. I love Anna Paquin, but she looks terrible as a blonde and her lines are awful. Basically I'm hooked for every other character. Also, WHY is Bill, a very hot, immortal, hot, worldly, hot (!) vampire so fascinated with obnoxious Sookie? She reads minds? You need a better reason than that. Maybe the books will explain better.

Tara would be an amazing Susannah. Too bad she probably won't get it.

Okay, plot hole or something, but Lafayette (who I love and is also hot) said that a vial of V is $600. Everyone keeps talking about how expensive V is, but if you only need a drop... say there's 60 drops in a vial, that's a $10 per dose medicine that gets you high, hard and healed. Sorry, but that's pretty damn cheap in my opinion.

i bought the 1st two books but i haven't gotten around to actually reading them. i LOVE the show. actaully i like "Anna P." as a blonde but than i have a thing for blondes. but not dumb blondes who are dumb as a post per say. not all of them are like that. though it may feel like that at times. anyways back on topic. i also agree the actress who plays Tara would be a great "Susannah" but i doubt she'll get it either. it would also be trouble if she did get it. when scheduling came around for the series & for "True Blood" i believe they start filming in December normally when it comes to "True Blood"

& finish at some point in the spring? when it comes to the rest of the year i can see her having the time. but if they are filming the films back to back in a manner of speaking, than it will at some point be a problem. however if they do end up using her somewhat for having one of the 6 hr. films min-series as "W&G" than they may just use her a little if it starts out around the campfire. & won't need her much until after he finishes telling the story. so who knows ya know?

anyways back on topic, i LOVED Season 3. it was actually kind of nice seeing a story for once rather than seeing Jason bang this woman or that woman. my question when it comes to money, is the town is quite little, if "V" is $600 bucks where in the hell do these guys get the money"

by the looks of the townsfolk most of them don't look like they have much money to their name. but than maybe that's just me?

Sookie doesn't come off as annoying at all in the books.

[Yeah Sure Whatever]

Not at all in the books, but she is annoying as shit in the show especially in Season 3! Bill takes a turn being annoying in season 2 and well season 2 is poo. Season 3 totally makes up for it though. As far as the books they are all good except book 10 felt rushed and seemed unfinished. 4 is my favorite and I think its 8 is too.

The other characters are what makes the show they are fabulous!

[Ka-mai]

I'm halfway through the first book, and it's much better, except where the fuck is Tara?! I liked her. And Lafayette is barely in it, either. I feel like the writing is a little awkward at times, but overall it's not bad.

I'm wondering if Southerners are really as proper as Sookie is making herself sound.

[Yeah Sure Whatever]

I dont think Tara appears until book 2 and Lafayette is more a show character but he totally makes the damn show you know when Eric isnt around

[Roland of Gilead 33]

if i'm not mistaken, both of them don't really have that big of a part in the books. though i haven't read any of them. i have read a summary on wikipedia on what happens.

[Emily]

Ka-mai, you like Tara on the show? I can't stand her. Like to the point that I actually fast forward through some of her scenes

I like the books a lot. They certainly don't keep me up at night thinking about life and the universe, but they're easy, fun reading. Also, Eric for motherfucking life. I don't know if it's the whole Viking thing or whatever, but man oh man do I love him.

[Erin]

I liked Tara in the first season of the show. In the others, she drives me insane.

[Yeah Sure Whatever]

Tara was ok in season 1, but progressively got more whiny

[OchrisO]

Rutina Wesley is way hot, so I am ok with Tara on the show. She has nowhere as big a part in the books.

Lafayette is my favorite character on the show, but,

Spoiler:

He dies very early on in the books and is hardly in the books at all when he is alive.

[Odetta]

Also, Eric for motherfucking life. I don't know if it's the whole Viking thing or whatever, but man oh man do I love him.

I think I like her because she's so NOT like Sookie, who I can't stand (on tv), and because she's kind of super obnoxious, like me. She does need to stop drooling over Jason though, it's really pathetic.

I just finished the first book, and it was good. Not great. The writing is a little below the level I'd like it to be (but I have really high standards) and I felt the ending was a little bit of a letdown. I'll probably start the second tonight. Also, my coworker might be able to lend me the rest of the tv series if her dad will let go of them.

[Ruthful]

The vampire protagonist is by far the weakest part of this show. If you can put him out of you head though True Blood is a really entertaining series. Alan Ball did a great job, at least based upon the two seasons I watched.

[Yeah Sure Whatever]

Gerard you need to see season 3 already, its so much better.

There are my comfort books I like to read when I just need something light and fluffy

[Ka-mai]

I love reading light, fluffy things. This is probably why I read Harry Potter at least twice a year. I can't get into this as fluffy yet because I have no idea what's going to happen and I get tense.

[mystima]

what the hell happened to this series.

Spoiler:

vampire Bill is the new King of Louisiana. They totally messed up the whole fey story line

But I do like the fact that they brought in Fiona Shaw as the head coven witch. (She played Aunt Petunia in the Potter series)

[Ka-mai]

Honestly, I think this show sucks beyond season one. After the word "fairy" entered the equation I finally said "fuck it."

Too bad, I feel like it had potential.

[Merlin1958]

Actually, while I don't disagree wholeheartedly with both complaints, I'm gonna give it a little more leeway. True Blood has a way of "turning it around" so to speak. The season with the "Demon-Woman" comes to mind. I liked where they went with it. This season too, can be brought around to "good stuff". We'll see.
