True Blood

Is anyone besides me watching this television show? I'm beginning to suspect I might not enjoy the second season too much, but I'm sticking with it for now.

My wife and her friends are deeply obsessed with this show. So much so that, last evening, they went over to the house of the one friend who has HBO -or Showtime, or whatever- to watch it, even though that friend is on vacation; she had left her key with the group just so they could come over and watch True Blood. I find this level of commitment to a tv show baffling -there's also the fact that I can't imagine actually following a tv show on tv rather than tvshack-.

When she got home, I, knowing nothing of the plot of the show beyond 'there is vampires', initiated this conversation:

"So did the girl-who's-not-a-vampire finally kiss the boy vampire, who's looks like he's from Melrose Place, but is actually like 300 years old?"

"No, they actually kissed a long time ago."

"Oh, so is she struggling with whether to stay with the sexy vampire, or to leave him for the bad-boy werewolf?"

"He's not a werewolf, he's a shapeshifter!"

The cocktease of a TV channel won't show me True Blood Season 2, it just shows me the trailer (which causes me to throw myself at the plasma in the hope exposing myself to it will make it cough up the goodies)

So I must bide my time, and wait, and plot, and obsessively watch Season 1 from my harddrive.

I really liked the first season, but for some reason I haven't been able to bring myself to season 2. To be fair, I haven't watched any TV in weeks (too busy actually doing things!)I'll get around to it when stuff calms down again.

Spoiler!!!

Having just seen the third episode of the second season, my kid brother came up with the theory that Maryann is like a female satyr. (There must be a better name for them.)

Iantha is watching this. I think it's pretty heavily aimed at the young school aged female crowd and get less satisfaction from it than she does, but I'd say it's not horrible.

A female satyr is a nymph, I think.. And I specifically called her a Maenad.

Ok, the last episode (and most of them so far have been like this) had one helluva cliffhanger.

My wife and I have been following the show live (or OnDemand when we're busy Sunday nights) and it's been better than I expected.

Without spoiling anything last night's episode was excellent.

Spoiler: You are prescient.

It's a decent show made better by the constant flaunting of Anna Paquin's tits and Deborah Ann Woll's presence. Now with extra Ro Laren!

I don't go for red-heads, but Deborah Ann Woll is fucking hot.

I have to agree with you on that last point Deev. For me, red-heads have always been trouble, but I would gladly get into trouble with her.

Sal, do you think that the fact that Anna Paquin and Steven Moyer are actually a couple outside the show makes the sex scenes a little more voyeuristic now?

Yeah, that's... a little weird, and slightly uncomfortable. I get over it, though.

And somehow duller, because you just know that this won't be the first time they have rolled in the hay. Now, the Sookie and Eric scenes...I guess that's the fundemental difference between 'making love' and some fly shit f*ckin'.

Also, I must find myself a man called Benedict. Although knowing my luck my real-life hottie will turn out to be some puffy white banker in a bad suit who will rememble eggs rather than Eggs when nekkid.

I guess there was no episode last night due to the bank holiday you 'mericans are enjoying?

Eggs is quite yummy without his shirt on, thats for sure.

Yeah, its the bank holiday. Next week is the season finally though.
