Yes. It's Evan Rachel Wood. Perhaps it's bad casting over bad acting but the way she portrayed the Queen just made me groan. Every scene was the same. She tried to act elitist and refined and it came off as a high school play where the actor doesn't know what to do with her body after a line or when she's not speaking. White text (not really a spoiler but for courtesy):
there's a sequence where after nearly every line Wood looks at her fingernails like she's preoccupied with them and they are more important than the conversation with Bill... it's the cheapest form of trying to look elitist and she kept doing it over and over... /rant.
And the whole Jason thing is driving me nuts. He used to be the cool, dumb, good ol' boy. Even the Christian angle was better than this. His character seems totally lost.
I don't know what happened. The season had about 10 great episodes... it's like the overall arch of the season was only written for 11 episodes but the contract required 13 so the writers just watered down everything.

Trust me. You'll be disappointed. Bi-sexual is cool and all, but not when the majority of her bi-sexualness is trying to convince other characters to be bisexual. Bill... gross. Not even boob shots, orgies and bi-sexual vampires can save it.
