I just mean, scenes like where Stackhouse, is preparing his weapons to go into the diner, and, actually, all of the scenes with Stackhouse at the diner. Especially when he was pretending to be the God and the cop had to hold a branch behind him to pretend he had horns. that kind of humor reminds me of the humor in Buffy.

After season 2, buffy was all about the season long arcs: evil angel, adam, evil willow, the first evil. Both shows also have mythologies based on vampires, but branch out to include were-wolves, gods, demons, shape-shifters, etc.
I think this show is directly pandering to old buffy fans, who have grown older and maintain a 'tits or gtfo' attitude.

Someone mentioned in this thread what the problem is and that's using different writers with varying degrees of skill. Lots of inconsistencies with the plot and the characters which ended up boiling the show down to melodramatic female porno. I also am left wondering if they had a contest between writers or designers to see how cheesy they could make vampire settings be? The Fangtasia bar is just laughably cheesy as was the location of the tribunal (of which there was no tribunal just one guy).
I hope the second season looks up but this show has been decidedly tossed onto the pop-culture junk heap for mass consumption. That's there prerogative to ensure it makes tonnes of money. Oh well, a good opportunity wasted.

All good points. However, this show offers a mix of vampire fantasy, southern US and unholy orgies that you just can't get anywhere else. I almost quit on the first season, but I'm finding the second to be outstanding, I recommend sticking it out since you've come this far.
