...that memorable character Bill Condon we all like.
-
will we see Evan Rachel Wood's tits ? Will we see her chow Sookie's box ? These are the questions true fans want answered.
-
Possibly the worst television performance of the last decade. I mean, this show has some pretty consistently terrible dialogue and some awfully melodramatic acting, but damn, she was fucking awful. I would like to see her naked though...I'll second that.
-
can't wait!
-
That bag of dicks is usually a lot more stingy with his "scoops." Fuck him regardless... pathetic piece of worm shit.
-
Now that the Maryann storyline is finally over, here's hoping TRUE BLOOD returns to the must-watch status of the first half of Season 2.
-
1) Way too gay-centric. If they had any more gay characters they'd have to be on Showtime. 2) Stupid white southern stereotypes are insulting to us stupid white southerners. 3)Anna Paquin is not hot enough to be Sookie Stackhouse.
-
How many gay characters do you think there are? I only count one, Lafayette. Or, is one too many for you to handle?
-
Those are the two big things if they're following the werewolf storyline this season.
-
you probably have a better idea than that how many gays there are in True Blood.
-
I agree...unless he means the ambiguous sexual nature of the vampires, who will seemingly fuck anything that moves!
-
In what world, you homophobic asshat?
-
johnnyangel is a complete douche.
-
there's only one gay character -- lafayette -- on "true blood," unless you count the in-the-closet vampire that jason helped kill in the first season. also, johnnyangel is dead wrong about what he calls stereotypes on the show. there's a wide variety of character types on the show, and one of them just happens to be fang-hating white southerners. you really think that if the "true blood" world was real, there wouldn't be at least a few of those types in a backwoods louisiana town? and i beg to differ about anna paquin. yeah, she's not the hottest chick out there, but she's very attractive, does a great job as sookie and has awesome tits.
-
that, along with having awesome tits, anna paquin doesn't hesitate to show them, which earns her extra points.
-
Personal invective is not an argument to fact. And your insults were not even particularly witty. Please try again.

So johnnyangel is homophobic, unable to judge hotness AND a trol
by spyguy
And with a final swing and a miss, johnnyangel has officially struck out at life.
-
but the fact that johnnyangel seems to think "true blood" is a gay-centric show proves he is more of a moron than a homophobe.
-
Watch True Blood if you like it. I took it off my dvr when I found myself fast-forwarding through most of it every week. To each their own.
-
Anna Paquin is not hot enough for Sookie, who is supposed to be super hot and busty in the books. I'm thinking Diora Baird hot.
-
methinks she doesn't quite have the acting chops to portray sookie, though. which is more creepy, by the way: sookie and bill fucking in real life, or dexter and his sister fucking in real life? i definitely think the latter is creepier.
-
The movement for vampire rights in the show is supposed to mirror the movement for gay rights in real life. Why do you think they have the sign that says "God Hates Fangs" in the opening credits? Obviously I don't have to tell you to drop the n. That point made, I think vampires are distinct enough from gays that show isn't about gays, it's just using the political/cultural climate. Finally, of course the Southerners are stereotypes. The characters and story are intentionally over-the-top. I mean, hello, multiple giant orgies. If that kind of stuff is reality to you, stay away from me.
-
Ball is only going to wave Charlaine Harris's book over Season 3 and call it an "adaptation," isn't he? And I suspect that as Alexander Skarsgard is now TB's breakout star, Eric will take Jason's place as the "mostly naked, always gratuitously boning stupid airhead women" guy. Great. True Blood is the inverse of Mad Men - it gets progressively worse with each season. Bleh.
-
Bang away Jason.
-
especially with the way he's kinda-sorta lusting after Lafayette.
It makes sense though. If you were immortal, could live forever, you'd probably get, if not bored with straight sex, at least a little curious after a few hundred years as to what another guy might be like. Hell, if you get to be 2000 years old you should have experiemented with just about everything in life. -
That and if Eric does lust, then he lusts for himself. He is completely self-centered.
-
sure there's only one guy "out of the closet" gay, but vampires are supposed to be a metaphor for gay people on the show, so yeah, it's full of gays (in part that's why I watch) if anything, there's too many MALE gay characters.. seems like the only thing a female vampire is good for is to play the "annoying old mother who won't die already" role.
-
I still see Evan as the preteen/young teen from "Thirteen"... feel so guilty looking at her like this ;). Also, u might want to put SPOILER in title as a bunch of that info above is spoilerific.
-
Just one big metaphor for homosexuality. Nothing wrong with that, clever in it's own right, but as a heterosexual male I do get bored of it pretty quickly. It is taking on serious issues, but nothing I can relate to.
-
If you had said that after the first episode of the first season, I would probably agree with you. But over the last two seasons I moved away from the simplistic notion that vampires are nothing more than a gay metaphor. I think the show has done an excellent job establishing that they are much more than what you say. What's more, if we're suddenly going to call these vampires homosexual, then it's a little confusing how all of them keep pining over women.

...you had me at "nudity prone".
