liresiusOkay, I'm all caught up with True Blood. I didn't do much else but watch the 2 seasons over the last 2 days - what a slob I am! LOL!
It's great! Totally off the wall, and bonkers. I like the Southern nuttiness and melodrama. Character-wise Sookie is very spunky, but being such a golden girl, she doesn't really fascinate me. Bill is OK, but again I'm not really drawn to him. And despite the fact that I don't usually go for blond guys, I am more interested in Eric. He seems more mysterious and complex, so I am looking forward to a more complex menage a trois, or something along those lines, since the suicide bomber and blood tasting that Eric tricked Sookie into. I am drawn to the human fascination with the the vampires too. Some of the Bon Temps characters are brilliant - Jason for being dumber than bricks allows for a lot of humour, especially when he just doesn't have a clue what people are saying and blunders in idiotically, or uses the completely wrong word. He's such a mess - good hearted though. So is Hoyt - real sweetie. I adore Lafayette and get a real kick out of the the town sheriff and the detective - for their interactions with each other. Hm, I think the whole Maenad thing has gone on too long - I think the whole town in orgy/zombie mode got irritating - maybe because I watched them all back to back, and the shock value was lost. I knew Rene was suspect from very early on in the piece and same for the Shifter (deer) girl.
As for the Queen of the Vampires - she reminded me of 1940s Hollwood starlet. I would have liked her to have more gravitas, and I would like to know why she in particular is Queen.
So I guess next week's ep will be the season 2 finale?
