Cool. Thanks. Kinda like the Dexter books I imagine.

I'm just on the second Dexter Book ( Dearly Devoted Dexter) definitely an easy read, I'm hoping to move onto the True Blood series next.

One would think that it would be gross since the female Vampire would be ice cold.

I'm pretty sure that's the same guy who asked Sookie at the end of Season 1 if Bill knew any single vampire chicks for him. He said he didn't care about vampires. Sookie joked as to what his mama would think. He lives with his mom and made reference to it in the last episode. I'm pretty sure it's the same guy.

I wonder what the disappearing pig at the party meant.

Was there a new episode this week?

burn_baby_burn · 07-06-2009, 10:27 AM

No episode this week. The pig is some how associated with Maryanne. Whether it is her or not, I'm not certain.

BlackArcher101 · 07-13-2009, 02:18 AM

Pretty good one. Really like how the show always continues from where it left off in the last episode... very seamless. Unlike some other tv show that airs on Sunday's (I'm looking at you Entourage).

Boblobla · 07-13-2009, 08:02 AM

I am getting a little bit bored of Mary-anns parties, alright, we get it, you can make people want to dance and have sex. I did like the claws though right at the end.

I am really starting to warm up to Jessica though, she is pretty funny.

burn_baby_burn · 07-13-2009, 08:32 AM

I'm starting to wonder where the storyline is going with Jason, Sarah and Steve. At first I assumed that Jason and Sarah were going to get it on. Now I think that it will be Steve that actually makes the pass at Jason. They are making the whole attraction thing with Jason and Sarah to obvious.

VANFLAMESFAN · 07-13-2009, 12:25 PM

Wow, that was a messed up last couple minutes, but that was cool seeing Maryann with the claws.......

The Sam-Agnes angle is gettting very interesting and True Blood never ceases to throw a new twist in there. Awesome ending, can't wait to see the connection between Sookie and the other mind reader.

True Blood has by far the best cliff hanger endings......it's literally every episode.

Episode 4 is on again tonight for those (like me) that missed it.

Like a Hardy Boys book... every chapter was a cliff hanger.

This season has been awesome. Way way better than the first, but in hindsight, I'm glad they took their time developing characters in the first season. I criticized the pace before, but now the show has a good foundation to move quicker.

VANFLAMESFAN · 07-16-2009, 01:53 PM

I've been re watching some Season 1 episodes as I just bought it......I thought this when I first saw it, but good god, when Sookie is sitting at the table after the funeral eating grann's pecan pie and she cries for the first time........that was ana amazing scene. Anna Paquin was just perfect in that.....

I love this show.

GreenTeaFrapp · 07-16-2009, 02:15 PM

Anna Paquin should have been nominated for an Emmy.

Yep, at least nominated, she won the golden globe a few months back for True Blood.

This weeks episode was pretty interesting. I like when they flash back in time to show the vampires when they were human. I had also been wondering if or when Bill's maker would come back in the picture. Didn't figure it would be so soon.

chid · 07-21-2009, 06:28 PM

As soon as I saw Bill's maker, I thought to myself "great the episode is over and I have to wait a whole week now" GRR cliff hangers..

Five-hole · 07-22-2009, 02:28 AM

I'm really interested to see what happens with Bill's maker. So far every vamp has been beholden to their maker ... Pam never refuses Eric's requests, and even Jessica does what Bill says when he actually issues a command. Bill's been pretty anti-authority so far ... I wonder what she'll want?

Also, did anyone notice that the "minotaur" silhouette when Sookie was attacked looked exactly like the silhouette of Maryanne when she wandered off from the party to do her ecstasy-inducing ... whatever it is?

Boblobla · 07-22-2009, 07:52 AM

I really don't like the Jason storyline. They seemed to throw together the marriage trouble for the last episode. I know they have been building to a sexual confrontation but last week seemed to be the only week there was trouble with their marriage. I mean, he has been there for dinner a bunch and he has been living there for a while, you would have thought we would have seen trouble earlier.

I was a huge fan of seeing Godrick.

I HATE the Tara story line, I find myself very frustrated with her all the time.

I just finished the first book and she isn't even in it. It was awesome.

DuffMan · 07-23-2009, 12:45 PM

ha ha, Godboy getting the Happy Ending from the preachers extremely hot wife was funnay.

BlackArcher101 · 07-27-2009, 02:33 AM

Another good one... things are starting to fall in place, make more sense... and yet I have even more questions. Great show.
