I'm an HBO junkie, so I'm watching this. I was sceptical of the idea of a vampire show on HBO, but thankfully they have a good amount of self-aware camp elements and don't take themselves too seriously. It's not the best thing I've seen, but I will definitely keep watching. I'm surprised by all the Tara hate, though. I'm usually really wary of that type of character, but I find myself liking her. But of course she's gotten some more layers and become more nuanced since the pilot. And I think Anna Paquin is cute as a button in this.

i am loving this show rite now, cant wait for the next episode. My boyfriend says it makes soft core porn look bad...lmaoo. But its really good !!! this is the first tv series that has caught my attention and kept it in a really long time. I'm not a big fan for girly tv shows (gossip girl, one tree hill, and lets not even mention 90210 which was a big disappointment, it was the only grly tv show i was lookin forward to but it sucked !)

Still watching so far. Definitely an over the top vibe at times, and every episode has to have a "cliffhanger", LOL.

But still watching. I'm still curious to see where this goes.

my husband & i like the show.. it does have a lot of graphic scenes, though! i think sookie is kind of annoying & ditzy sometimes, and her friend (brother's bff) isn't the best actor.

lol.

I still can't get into it. It still screams cheesy campy uck to me. :/

Anyone still watching? I like where they are taking this show.

You know they couldn't kill off Bill, right? I thought the exact thing as you when I saw next week's preview.

This show is like my guilty pleasure. I make the hubby watch it with me when I "can't find anything else to watch". Lol. i.e. I have to wait for the reruns. I think my hubby's catching on to me though.

But noooooooo, you can't kill bill!! And seriously, wth is wrong w/ sookie brother and his new chick? I guess V is the new crack.

And that exorcism? Ha ha, I can't imagine Tara being like a totally sweet and nice person.

anybody else wonder what happened with the murders and sam? remember when that chic from the bar died and he went to her house later that nite to roll around in her bed....what was that about? i figure sam hates bill so much he wants to murder people so they think its bill, but how come they never really show that sam is the murderer? or maybe hes not? idk ! what do you guys think?

Kinderwhore · 10-24-2008, 01:08 PM #38 (**permalink**)

Surely Sam must be some sort of werewolf/shapeshifter, with the barking in bed, running around naked in the woods and rolling around and sniffing in a dead girl's bed.

I was a big fan of Entourage. When the new season came out (and True Blood premiered), I had no intensions of watching T.B. I watched the first episode of TB b/c I was bored and was waiting for Entourage. But I really got into the show. Ever since then, Im addicted.

When I was a teen, I had fantasies of vampires (thanks to all the dirty vamp books, lol). I love my gothic/emo boys mysterious and dark. I also love the southern vamp thing. On monday mornings when I'm at work, somethings I'll accidently talk to my clients with a southern accent. My clients have caught on and say "Oh, I guess True Blood was on last night". lol

I wonder if Sookie will get pregnant by Bill?
I also wonder wassup with Sookie's boss? Is/was Tara's mom really posessed by a demon?

I was wondering why he had ran across the field naked. I thought it was random at first. lol

And whats up with his dog too?
I recall the dog starring at Sookie when she was mowing the lawn (the morning after she drank Bill's blood). Bill was going to kill the dog after Sookie had saved Bill from the trailer-trash couple (when they were trying to drain his blood). When Sookie was asleep, Bill had a dream about Sookie being choked, and then he ran to her. After he found her okay, he stood infront of the house stairing at her window... the dog came up to Bill.

Ok, I see I'm going to have to go back and watch this from the beginning. I did not catch the part were Sam was doing all this craziness!! I did see him running across the field naked and thought it was A) strange and B) very strange that the cops found it not strange at all.

MzzRach · 10-24-2008, 02:30 PM #43 (**permalink**)

They are definitely going somewhere with Sam:

Rolling around in the dead girls bead - WTF?
Running through the field naked -again, WTF?

I think maybe Sam IS the dog. Have we ever seen those 2 in the same frame together? Kinderwhore - I think you are on to something, you mentioned him being a shapeshifter.

Hmmmmmm......

I am totally digging this show.

Kinderwhore · 10-24-2008, 04:19 PM #44 (**permalink**)

We've seen him with the dog, so that's probably not it. But there must be a connection.

OK, couldn't remember, thanks for that.

But yeah, a connection for sure. And the way they present the dog, it seems to me to be full of foreshadowing of something.....

I've been watching the show since the very beginning. I'm all about vampires! The book series never really interested me, but I decided to give the show a chance. I'm hooked. It's not the greatest show in the universe, but it can be entertaining. Sookie does have that "deer in the headlights" look the majority of the show and Tera (sp?), I'm just not sure about her. I think her frustrations are with just living in a southern town, having a alcoholic mother and being in the minority. Did you all see her walking through the woods with her mother to meet the woman that was going to cast the demon out of her mother...did you notice how she had that purse on? For some reason that cracked me up.

I think Sookie's brother is the one that irritates me and makes me laugh more than anyone else in the show. Oh..and that bald headed vampire guy. *L*

All in all it's an hour to relax and try to figure out the who's killing everyone.

Kinderwhore & MzzRach - And I have to agree about Sam..I think he's a shapeshifter. They tend to focus on the dog lots and I don't recall seeing Sam and the dog in the same scene, but wouldn't Bill sense that he was a shapeshifter?

You'd think Bill would sense it, but who knows? I like how the audience is being kept off balance......we'll see what happens.

I agree the show has its camp elements, but I enjoy that part of it. I like the mix of tongue in cheek and melodrama - it's good fun.

I also enjoy the whole "vampire rights" political angle, and how "V" has come into play as part of the drug culture. Very creative.

divineflygirl - if you like vampires, have you read Sunshine by Robin McKinley? It's a MUST.

Dreamergirl3 · 10-24-2008, 06:36 PM #48 (**permalink**)

Still watching! A few episodes made me LOL, more laughing AT the acting/story than with it, haha. But I can forgive it, a little cheese never hurt! Bill is hot enough for me to keep watching

ITA with the possibility of Sam being a shapeshifter or something, definitely in connection with the dog. Also, that he's doing the murders to frame Bill.

I doubt Tara has a demon inside her, but who knows! She looked like she was concerned when the exorcist called her out on her negative ways. Sookie's brother is SUCH an idiot but damn he's cute! He just needs to sit there and look pretty

I like the new girl he met at the vampire bar.

Bill better come back! I'm very curious to know what's going to happen next!

Did anyone else think when the new girl at the vampire bar picked Jason up and promised him V, she was going to end up being a vamp herself and start feeding on him? I kept waiting for that to happen.

Dreamergirl3 · 10-24-2008, 08:09 PM #50 (**permalink**)

^^yes! He was being so painfully obvious I figured whoever went up to him had to be a vampire. Good thing she wasn't! I do wanna know more about her though, guess we'll have to wait and see.
