HBO’s TRUE BLOOD
Draws Second Season!!

2nd episode bump.... by CarmillaVonDoom	Sep 17th, 2008 03:33:34 PM
...was simply because of the multitudes who downloaded episode one months ago.
wow.....jumping the gun much? by Bouncy X	Sep 17th, 2008 03:41:20 PM
green lighting a 2nd season based on 2 episodes? its like the opposite of what Fox does. its the bizarro world of television.
True Blood.. by Harold-Sherbort	Sep 17th, 2008 03:44:31 PM
..is a good show. That is all.
2nd episode bump.... by slone13	Sep 17th, 2008 03:45:22 PM
...was because of the multitudes who downloaded episode one months ago AND WANTED TO SEE MORE. If they hadn't enjoyed they episode they downloaded, they wouldn't have tuned in for another.
Here's the answer to every one of those Heroes multiple choice q by SpreadLegsNotWar	Sep 17th, 2008 03:48:28 PM
NO ONE GIVES A SHIT
Damn you HBO! by viks	Sep 17th, 2008 03:49:52 PM
This show is so poorly made and has some of the most uneasy contrived dialogue ever written, but I can't help but watch it! I was hoping it would be cancelled to break me of this curse!
Odd by xsi kal	Sep 17th, 2008 03:58:50 PM
I d/l'd the first episode, thought it was shit, and have not looked back. I guess once again I am at odds with the american viewing public. :P
so far... by Mr. Flibble	Sep 17th, 2008 04:00:30 PM
the intro credits are the best part of the show. I'll keep watching but i'm not really clicking with it yet. I think its the cast, the bollocks about a great "ensemble" made me laugh, theres no real chemistry yet. The story and potential is keeping me watching, not the actors.
Very good news. by JediRob	Sep 17th, 2008 04:21:40 PM
Keep up the good work.
Hell yeah! by Psycho_Kenshin	Sep 17th, 2008 04:26:55 PM
True Blood owns.
HBO passed on Mad Men.................. by Optimus Primal	Sep 17th, 2008 04:35:59 PM
Yet True Blood, which is plum awful gets an order for 2nd season?! Based on 2 laughably bad episodes?? HBO is slipping me thinks. Their original programming ain't what it used to be. As a matter of fact Aside from Big Love its slim pickings.
I aint seen this by SUPERJIM	Sep 17th, 2008 04:44:35 PM
I downloaded the pilot when it was leaked (was it leaked?) all those months ago. I will have to check it out tomorrow but if it has been given a 2nd season then no doubt it will be shit, most things I like get cancelled. Will probably be a good thing if it is shit, I have to download most things I watch because of SHITTY TV in the UK. My ISP is already capping my speeds under their "fair usage policy" and most shows aint even started yet! Fuckers, I am not even a heavy downloader.
Sorry, not liking it... by redshirt	Sep 17th, 2008 04:54:02 PM
Premise: Vampires no longer need to fed on humans, so they can live among us. Why would humans ever accept this? They once did feed on humans, and there is no Statute of Limitations on murder. Is their past all forgiven? They have rights now? Wouldn't that kinda be like having tamed tigers walking the streets? Occasionally one will go all cat again. Just ask Sigfried and Roy. That said I liked the boobs.
I want to floss Anna Pacquin's teeth by BauerJackBauer	Sep 17th, 2008 04:59:48 PM
She is hot. The show aint great but it's Mad Men compared to that piece of shit Fringe. I'll keep watching in case they put her in another one of those bikinis.
Smacks of desperation ay HBO by fiester	Sep 17th, 2008 05:03:59 PM
They have nothing left so they cling to second-rate crap like this.
That was quick. by nofate	Sep 17th, 2008 05:04:03 PM
Can't say I'm surprised though, the show is really good. That sex scene from the pilot was probably the nail on the coffin (thank you, I'll be here all week)
One more thing by redshirt	Sep 17th, 2008 05:08:43 PM
They lost me when they used Maher to introduce the setup for the show. He's an idiot.
What's wrong with by Harold-Sherbort	Sep 17th, 2008 05:28:26 PM
Bill Maher? He's funny.
Bring back Deadwood while at it... by Judge Briggs	Sep 17th, 2008 05:29:32 PM
Fucking re-res for canceling that and Carnivale.
Yes they did pass on Mad Men... by JediRob	Sep 17th, 2008 05:38:14 PM
We know. Also every other major Network passed on Sopranos. Things happen. Why is it so cool to hate HBO these days?
Ana Paquin is the best part of it by Lovecraftfan	Sep 17th, 2008 05:42:30 PM
Very likable and very sexy. I don't know why everyone has a problem with her peformance in the show.
The show sucks... by exie	Sep 17th, 2008 06:05:02 PM
The pilot was one of the worst unwatchable pieces of shit I've seen and I'm a Six Feet Under junkie. Six Feet Under is one of my favorite series of all time. True Blood is crap. The 2nd episode was a smidge better, but a smidge better than pure shit isn't all that great. I'm stunned they renewed it already and it only goes to prove that the Writers Strike has had a lasting effect on the industry. I don't think networks have caught up yet with the 4 months of no business. Maybe this show will get better. Alan Ball's a genius, but this one is way beneath him.
I don't like it either... by Lucasblows	Sep 17th, 2008 06:06:38 PM
...but HBO wouldn't have ordered a second season if people weren't watching (which I am surprised they are).
A side order of Deadwood Season 4 and Carnivale Season 3, please by Johnny Smith	Sep 17th, 2008 06:20:34 PM
Thanks.
Unreal... by Oldnewbie	Sep 17th, 2008 06:26:19 PM
Yes, and that not just on the 2nd season order after 2 eps. The picture I saw of the 'vampire' fangs looked horribly fake. Like they were bought at Toys R Us.
Good... by DanielKurland	Sep 17th, 2008 06:37:08 PM
I'm enjoying it.
No press release love ... by FatherMcGruderKicksAssForTheLord	Sep 17th, 2008 06:40:38 PM
... for William Sanderson? That guy fuckin' rules. I'm lukewarm on this show after two episodes, but it's got boobs galore and is mildly amusing, so I'll probably stick with it for awhile.
I'll tell you what the show needs... by Banzai Rootskibango	Sep 17th, 2008 06:48:34 PM
...it needs to amp up the gore/violence/sex quotient. Also, more hot, naked chicks. That's the world of a vampire. Amp it up...I'll keep watching. It's not great right now...but I think it has promise. As a fan of LOST, Alias and the X-Files, I'm gonna give the first two episodes of Fringe a chance. From what I've heard, hopefully they will find their footing. Also, can't wait for Heroes. It's going to keep me from going into convulsions until Lost returns in 2009.
John From Cincinnati by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	Sep 17th, 2008 06:53:41 PM
Now that's only one season material. Fucking Anne Rice cock suckers.
exie - couldn't agree more by Sidius	Sep 17th, 2008 07:13:43 PM
The show is a huge turd of un-watchability. I loved SFU but this is so poorly written and acted that I can't believe it's coming from the same creative mind. Oh, and Anna Paquin is bad - as in give back your damn Oscar bad. I'm giving it 3 more episodes (I typically give a show from good writers 5 eps to sell me) but then I'm done with it if I don't see a marked improvement.
HBO likes Alan Ball and will OK season to keep him happy by GreatCzarsGhost	Sep 17th, 2008 07:18:42 PM
True Blood is not a good show. Ball and Six Feet Under did a lot to get HBO series television going. They will give him a tip of the hat hoping he will come up with another SFU for them later.
Ashok0... by Banzai Rootskibango	Sep 17th, 2008 07:35:32 PM
...I've never seen it but I've heard both good and bad things about it here and there...why?
loved the second episode by Smithys.Bark	Sep 17th, 2008 07:39:13 PM
I downloaded the first ep. didnt dig it but gave the second episode a go and loved it, looking forward to see where theyll take it....cool cliffhangers each episode too.
whens supernatural back on? by Smithys.Bark	Sep 17th, 2008 07:40:04 PM
what a season finale!!!
Oldnewbie, that's some well placed judgement. by JediRob	Sep 17th, 2008 07:59:17 PM
Nice to see that you've condemned the entire shows quality based on a picture of the fangs.
IS this some kinda joke??? by medicinaluser	Sep 17th, 2008 08:05:36 PM
This is an awful fucking show what in the hell are HBO thinking. Yes and Paquin is cringeworthy who's idea was it to give this cunt an Oscar...Anna....Rosie Perez called she wants her Oscar back.....bitch.
Rootisbango... by VegasRon	Sep 17th, 2008 08:07:39 PM
...can't wait for Heroes? lulz. As for True Blood, I have mixed feelings. There's really no chemistry between anyone yet and most of the characters are bad cliches. But there's enough good to keep me watching to see if it improves.
And by "enough good" I mean... by VegasRon	Sep 17th, 2008 08:08:09 PM
lots of tits.
Awesome show by 7Cal	Sep 17th, 2008 08:10:49 PM
I really got into it right from the first episode. Very happy to hear it's been renewed already- they can work on 'bigger' story arcs without having to worry about whether they're coming back or not. Fringe, on the other hand, has been relatively disappointing.
great news! by ls420	Sep 17th, 2008 08:13:57 PM
Lovin the show so far, the second episode was great and has potential to be a solid showcase for hbo.
P.O.W by TheTaf	Sep 17th, 2008 08:16:54 PM
This show is the biggest Pile Of Wank I have ever had the misfortune to see. Plot is so stupid, Dialogue is Mind Numbing-ly terrible and dont even get me started on the performances. Telepathy and Vampires and Werewolves and a bar owner that can turn into a Dog (WHAT!! dont tell me you havent figured it out yet??) Even the random and unnecessary sex and nudity wont get me to watch this piece of shit show!!
Supernatural comes back tomorrow, 9/18, for those who keep wonde by Johnny Smith	Sep 17th, 2008 08:29:19 PM
Can we get a talkback for that show please?
Not bad by PornKing	Sep 17th, 2008 08:32:03 PM
I like the show, even though it has some very predictable foreshadowing, and occasional bad dialogue. Still a lot more interesting than 95% of tv.
The question is, can they do anything with it? by Domi'sInnerChild	Sep 17th, 2008 08:34:25 PM
It's been weak, but supposedly the dialog is bad because it's using the source material. Once that's gone, then it's on the writers. Good/Bad/Shades of gray vampires/monsters/supernatural is kind of dated now, but theoretically they can do something with it. I could live without the bang you over the head vampire rights = gay rights crap.
Idiots. by MetalMickey	Sep 17th, 2008 08:50:51 PM
HBO passes on Mad Men, cancels Rome & Deadwood, greenlights shit like Tell Me You Love Me & In Treatment..then this? Good luck finding new jobs when this shitty show fails to find an audience.
"mastermind Alan Ball" by Sir Loin	Sep 17th, 2008 08:56:47 PM
Uh, no. He is no mastermind, merely a one-trick pony who's managed to infuse his own agenda into other genres. In other words, A COMPLETE AND TOTAL HACK. And people think this is somehow "edgy." LOL.
Yay, even though I know it will GUT ME. by AnnoyYou	Sep 17th, 2008 09:07:58 PM
I've read enough spoilers to know that if Ball adheres to the narrative of the books, I'll be in for some bad hurtin', but no matter. Paquin and Moyer are great and will be great until it all starts to unravel. Hey, I was a Buffy fan until S6 - I know how to rebound from heartbreak and rage over the direction of a vampire-centric TV show. Bring it ON.
if it wasn't for all the boobies... by Jonesey1111	Sep 17th, 2008 09:11:27 PM
the show wouldn't have been renewed. I think said boobies are the only reason anyone is watching.
Well at least its better than Fringe right? by TheWaqman	Sep 17th, 2008 09:24:55 PM

Rome...I miss that show... by TheWaqman	Sep 17th, 2008 09:25:57 PM
Now THAT had a great fucking cast. Aswell as intriguing stories. It was cancelled though because it was so fucking expensive to make I heard. Plus the two DVD sets look really cool.
Um MetalMickey... by JediRob	Sep 17th, 2008 09:27:00 PM
It is finding an audience. Hence the article stating it got picked up. As did In Treatment. Rome was not cancelled it ended.
Fuckin' HBO by Al Swearengen	Sep 17th, 2008 09:35:31 PM
They'll give this two-bit vamp show a fuckin' two season pass but they won't give the good, hard workin' people of Deadwood a fuckin' curtain call? True Blood? More like True Cocksucker.
True Blood is ok, but.... by Amy Chasing	Sep 17th, 2008 09:39:32 PM
Preferred the rampant cheese of Moonlight.
I thought the second episode was much better and by TVguy4566	Sep 17th, 2008 09:48:42 PM
it looks like the action and story gets started in the third episode based on the ending of show 2 and the previews. I will give the show a shot a while longer.
True Blood is "eh" by arizonahotrock	Sep 17th, 2008 09:54:07 PM
It's entertaining, but I'm not sitting there going "holy fuck I can't wait til next week!" Not quite sure why they gave it such an early renewal...HBO did just exercise it's option and purchase A Song of Ice and Fire, so, there are good decisions being made at that network.
On a side note... by VegasRon	Sep 17th, 2008 10:16:31 PM
...I'm on the second to last ep of The Wire, S3. Watching Omar and Brother Mouzone walk down the street together made me spooge me pants. Wait. What are we talking about again?
Alright show... by Ckuouka	Sep 17th, 2008 11:02:43 PM
But I still can't forgive HBO for passing on Preacher.
The Pilot was shit by methosb	Sep 17th, 2008 11:27:10 PM
But when they released episode 1 they had re-shot a lot of material and used that as chance to re-cut it and re-do a little bit of the dialogue and it was much better. Still surprised that green-lit a second season already though, it hasn't been more than decent so far.
True Blood II: Dipshit Brother gets vamp HIV by LarryTate	Sep 18th, 2008 12:29:21 AM
sigh
Really really hated the pilot.(mild spoiler) by gotilk	Sep 18th, 2008 12:58:22 AM
But the second episode seems much better. It's DVR'd and I caught quite a bit of it earlier. Much improved. But still has this sort of drowsy feeling that it can't shake off. The grandmother character is interesting, but the civil war vampire thing makes me think too much of a romance novel. I'll watch the whole thing and give it another chance. If anyone else hated the pilot and decided to pass on a second episode, give it another shot. It picks up and improves. And was that not too veiled implication of necrophilia she threw at Dr Phlox?
BauerJackBauer: You Want To Floss Her Teeth? by Frodo T. Baggins	Sep 18th, 2008 01:16:04 AM

Turn up the 'Suck' by PlayerHater_of_the_year	Sep 18th, 2008 01:40:28 AM
Lamest take on the Vampire mythos since Buffy(sorry kids I'm a buffy hater). I thought 30 Days of night had rescued Vampires from the crapulance they had been wallowing in for the last decade but alas we are back to this tired drek. This show is clearly directed at 20 year old college girls and is a new low for HBO.
oh yeah, by PlayerHater_of_the_year	Sep 18th, 2008 01:41:55 AM
we could've had Preacher. think on that.
I like the show so far. by kingoflight	Sep 18th, 2008 03:50:19 AM
Its clear that the actors need to settle into there characters still, which i always notice i think the only person i've never noticed that with is the guy who plays dexter, he just was dexter from episode 1. I like all of the comments made so far because not one of you has said its a rip off of buffy or blade or any other vampire adaptation. It feels like a TV show of vampire masqurade set in a hick town. This show does not need the add any more gore and violence to it other wise it will be treading on the toes of buffy and blade. I don't want to watch another buffy or blade i want something fresh. For example : If they for any reason have to break into the tru blood factory or something because of some conspiracy i will stop watching !
I actually think this show is oddly funny by zooch	Sep 18th, 2008 03:56:05 AM
But I can't tell if I'm laughing at things that aren't supposed to be funny, or are they?
Alan Ball's V-Men (Meh) by Stalkeye	Sep 18th, 2008 04:25:07 AM
Instead it's vampires not mutants.Vampires and Humans coexisting and of course there's prejudice.Oh and it's got Anna Paquin (Rogue)whoo-hoo!..seriously the pilot sucked like a vampire and it looks like an premise Anne Rice came up with but at the last minute the script ended up in teh shredder.Had potentual but dull pacing and lame dialog doesnt do it for me. however I like the idea of Paquin's character being able to read other peoples' thoughts.other than that,It's a pass just like six feet under.
Critics and audiences have embraced this shit? by Laserhead	Sep 18th, 2008 07:34:05 AM
It's fucking awful.
So far so Good... by ZoeFan	Sep 18th, 2008 08:10:25 AM
But not great. And here's the kicker. I'll tell you why (unlike every other complaining asshole on this TB). I will say that some of the characters are weak. However, that can be changed. Also, some of the side storys are not the best, but again it's only the 2nd episode. There's plenty of time to tighten things up. What makes me watch the show is the main characters. To me, the storyline between Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer is very intriguing. Add to that, that both are GREAT actors, or at worst play these characters to a T. Even with the little idiosyncrasies they are right on. So now that they have a 2nd season for sure, I'm very interested where this show goes.
The dialogue by Rick Flemming	Sep 18th, 2008 08:22:15 AM
Somebody earlier in the talkback said the dialogue sucked, and I whole-heartedly agree. The show is pretty cool, but man...the black friend and gay cook? They have some of the worst lines ever written for television. Ugh
The second episode was better than the first by SpyGuy	Sep 18th, 2008 09:12:17 AM
It's not quite there yet, but things seem to be improving. That said, what this show really needs is an Anna Paquin nude scene.
I'm not sure if I like it... by _Maltheus_	Sep 18th, 2008 09:34:13 AM
...but Anna Paquin is smokin', so that kind of buffers the boredom a bit.
That would be the BEST payoff by ZoeFan	Sep 18th, 2008 09:48:03 AM
Anna nude in the season finale
The first episode.. by brock landers baby	Sep 18th, 2008 10:27:17 AM
Was a 13 year old boy's fantasy of vampires,written by his 8 year old brother. One goddamn awful show.
"God Hates Fangs" by skimn	Sep 18th, 2008 10:49:18 AM
Okay Alan, we get it. It aint easy bein' gay. The vampire as newly accepted minority, is about as subtle as a hammer to the head. I think HBO wants to hang on to "Oscar winner" Alan Ball as a sign of prestige, and as thanks for Six Feet Under. And even that series became a bit of a joke in its last season. "Narm...narm...narm...", anyone?
True Blood by Johnny Smith	Sep 18th, 2008 10:58:52 AM

True Blood's ratings so far... by Johnny Smith	Sep 18th, 2008 10:59:29 AM
...are worse than Carnivale's finale episode. Just saying. And stupid premature posting.
TWO (REAL) REASONS IT WAS PICKED UP by Johnnie Walker	Sep 18th, 2008 11:02:20 AM
Like most, I thought the pilot was a BIG disappointment. 2nd ep was better, yes, but the real reason(s) the show was picked up are this: 1) Alan Ball's former agent Sue Naegle now runs HBO Entertainment. 2) What else does HBO have going on? Their other big motorcycle show, 1% is currently mired in a huge lawsuit. Would you place all your chips on a fading Entourage? No.
I can confirm Anna does get naked. by JediRob	Sep 18th, 2008 11:04:29 AM
Episode 6 Johnny Smith-That was also when On Demand and DVR were not as commonly utilized. The ratings are judged in completely different ways now
Will watch a couple more by Immortal_Fish	Sep 18th, 2008 11:18:30 AM
I'm already paying for HBO, so figured I may as well check it out. It's not absolute dreck, yet not very compelling either. Pedestrian sums it up perfectly. And what's up with Paquin? Why is she acting like she's in drama class? I've seen her in other stuff, so I know she's way more capable than what she's offering here. Ep 3 is allegedly from vampire POV. Curious to see how that plays out, but I doubt I'm in it for the whole season if things aren't dramatically improved.
Anna Paquin is hot? by Immortal_Fish	Sep 18th, 2008 11:20:28 AM
Didn't get that memo. Well, okay, perhaps from the neck down. Butterface. I bet she could clean an ear of corn in under 15 seconds.

I am going to continue my HBO new show boycott by Wheel99	Sep 18th, 2008 12:09:12 PM

Deadwood closure makes sence... by ZoeFan	Sep 18th, 2008 12:22:47 PM
That's why HBO will NEVER do it.
Eric the Viking Vamp by wenchy	Sep 18th, 2008 12:30:38 PM
Second season - whoot!! I am anxious to how the character of Eric (he’s the blonde vampire in the previews) comes out. He’s one of the key players, the owner of Fangtasia and they really need to get him right! Maybe it's because I love the books that I am not seeing the flaws so much, but I think the show is great. Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer definitely have some chemistry going. The only thing that is kind of turning me off is the cartoonish way the “vamps in bloodlust” are being portrayed, hissing and fake looking fangs etc.
Anna Paquins Teeth by wenchy	Sep 18th, 2008 12:33:41 PM
Yeah, there is something not quite right - spaces in between them? Shouldn't a Hollywood actress get that fixed?? I think she is pretty otherwise.
God Hates Fangs by SpawnofAchilles	Sep 18th, 2008 12:51:58 PM
i'm excited about this show, I kinda cant stand anna paquin and she's not nearly hot enough...that main vampire guy is perfect though, show is good so far and apparently it starts to get even better from here
The original deal had to be for at least two seasons... by tvspace	Sep 18th, 2008 12:55:13 PM
They're still in the "origin" part of the story, which is rather dull. Once we get the "... I was born a poor child in the boonies..." out of the way, perhaps it will pick up. But for now, I'm not impressed. I'm with many of you -- DEADWOOD! At least give us the movies promised. Oh, and Showtime is kicking HBO's ass for original programming.
Iceman from Gen Kill is Eric the Vamp. by JediRob	Sep 18th, 2008 12:57:00 PM

...She's so hot. Also, the actor who plays her brother on the show gets to simulate sex with a different hot woman every week? Where do you get a job like that?
What else.... by matalo	Sep 18th, 2008 03:05:20 PM

Not that I hate True Blood... by Ravetin	Sep 18th, 2008 03:43:32 PM
...but instantly ordering a second season based off 2 episodes after they killed Johnny Cinci when it had fairly similar ratings is a fucking disgrace.
They picked up Rome after 2 episodes... by JediRob	Sep 18th, 2008 04:31:54 PM
..and that was only supposed to be the 1 season but they liked the buzz. John From Cinn (which I loved) did have ok ratings, but HBO is never about ratings. they don't sell advertising so it works differently. The problem with John from Cinn, which True Blood is the opposite of, is gossip. There was this ridiculous backlash surrounding JFC, for whatever reason. I guess cause it came on right after Sopranos. It was wrong place wrong time I guess.

...hey, smarty...I was insinuating that the gaps between her teeth...which were discussed a few posts before mine...are huge...enough to fit my big fat motherfucking throbbing cock. So shut the fuck up before I fuck your mom while I'm at it.
great show by slkboxrman	Sep 18th, 2008 11:44:01 PM
glad it got picked up.... i know theres a huge hoopla over the gratuitous sex, which is good , but i still think it pales with how good anna looks dressed in those short shorts and that tight white tee.....BANZAI......i never noticed, i guess those must be pretty big gaps, have to look next time. lol
2nd episode improvement by slkboxrman	Sep 18th, 2008 11:49:12 PM
anyone else notice how they toned down TARA in the 2nd episode, wasnt half as annoying as she was thruout the whole first episode..no rants..she needs to get with the brother and maybe she wont be so bitchy....seems to be lusting after him quite a bit

...because 1) that idiot David Milch abandoned the great "Deadwood" for it, and 2) it fucking made no sense and was a gigantic waste of its fairly competent cast (even the presence of the terrific Garret Dillahunt couldn't induce me to watch that muddled dreck). And soon Milch will try to flog what seems to be a lame rip-off of the original "Life on Mars." Jesus H. Christ. So yeah - I'm glad HBO deep-sixed JfC and put stuff like True Blood in its place. Believe me, it's an improvement.
Info Request... by LeftFoot	Sep 19th, 2008 06:10:23 AM
Wasn't the series of novels True Blood based on 'young adult' novels? Anna Pacquin's characters style reminds me a bit of the lead on 'The Closer'. Both obviously fake accents, but, I just don't care. A point I keep waiting to come up on the show.. If vampires don't die, doesn't that mean they eventually own everything. Being a few hundred years old is a lot of time to aquire money, investments, property. And don't vampires LIKE feeding on people?

NO....Charlaine Harris' southern Vampire novels are NOT Young Adult titles...they are Quasi romance/mystery novels (walk into a walmart and you'll occasionally see them in the Romance section in the book aisle) Dead Until Dark is the first of the 8 novels, each novels brings a new twist on the supernatural realm and how it interacts with ours.....vamps,weres,shapeshif ters and all kinds of "other" things walk the world and not all want to be "outed" as the Vamps have been...

more....Vamps can die..but yes long "life" means they do acquire assets, -although until recently they hid and couldn't inherit property, so they also need to find incomes, what do you do if you only come out at night? seems Vamps own a lot of nightclubs, casinos etc,,,,, Yes, they do like to drink blood, but the synthetic blood-TruBlood-makes it so they don't have to, and so they came out to the public as a new type of human, that happens to be allergic to sunlight and need blood to survive and are seen as less of a threat (by some) now that they don't NEED to feed on humans to survive-although they still feed on humans, only now the "victims" are willing "FangBangers"
It's Alan Ball so it'll implode by m_prevette	Sep 19th, 2008 08:32:24 AM
Just as Six Feet Under became insufferable by the second season, so full of it's own pretension ...ugh..it was painful to watch and I couldn't continue watching as it wallowed in it's own glorified artificial misery...yuck what tripe.
AnnoyYou...You're Wrong by ZoeFan	Sep 19th, 2008 10:14:38 AM
Milch didn't abondon Deadwood for JFC. JFC was already in the works by HBO before the end of Season 2 of Deadwood. Believe me, HBO cut the cord on that series, not Milch.

Anna gets naked in Ep 6? HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS? I must see that episode and ONLY that episode.
True Blood and Moonlight by frozen01	Sep 19th, 2008 10:56:14 AM
Seen both episodes of True Blood, and it's not as good as I was hoping but it may improve. If it doesn't within the next couple of episodes, though, I'm giving up (especially since I don't have HBO and I have to drive to my friend's house to watch it). I agree with a previous poster, though... I miss the cheesiness of Moonlight. And one side comment... Anna Paquin as Sookie is fine (especially in those shorts, hot damn!), but the guy they cast as Bill is just... ugh, no thank you.
This is in and Deadwood & Rome are OUT??? by Nice Marmot	Sep 19th, 2008 11:17:00 AM
What? 800 other Talk Backers have pointed this out already??? My bad.
Sons of Anarchy by Nico Toscani	Sep 19th, 2008 02:49:56 PM
So what about some vampire bullshit. Where's the Sons of Anarchy talkback?

I was enthusiastic about the show until I read the Wikipedia entry. Now I wonder on just what day I will stop watching the show entirely.
Still weaker than the canceled Moonlight by chien_sale	Sep 20th, 2008 09:18:13 AM
fuck you CBS!
Thanks for the Info by LeftFoot	Sep 22nd, 2008 06:16:53 PM
j2talk thanks for the clarifications. Intriguing concepts, imagine the story possibilities. Now that vamps are out, will people complain about their long life and potential financial advantage? Instead of anti-inheritance laws, anti-longevity property laws? Heavy government taxes after the first hundred years? Politician on Vamp action. Ugly, ugly stuff. There is a lot of comedy in this show to me. Deliberate comedy.
