True Blood

[Foster]

Anyone checking out that new HBO show Tru Blood, about Vampires making themselves known and living in our society?

[sailor]

dvr'ing it. sucks up against football. that's why it took me like 3 years to get into the sopranos.

[underdog]

Its being recorded now. It sounded interesting, then the preview for it discouraged me, but its an Alan Ball show, so it has to be good.

[TheMojoPin]

AKA Tru Ghey Goth Bullshit

[Chimee]

AKA Tru Ghey Goth Bullshit

AKA hot

[Fallon]

Free HBO weekend, I'll give it a DVR.

[TheMojoPin]

AKA hot

AKA no.

Even worse, it's set in the fucking south, so you get to hear that retarded accent on top of everything.

[JustJon]

It's ok so far. Anna Paquin is hot, so at least it has that going for it.

[KatPw]

Its staying pretty true to the first book so far.

[Chimee]

It's slow moving and boring.

[Chigworthy]

It's ok so far. Anna Paquin is hot, so at least it has that going for it.

Well there's reason enough right there.

[Friday]

i loved it.

LOVED.

miss vampires.

[Gmann]

For an opening episode it was ok.
Bit slow going for my taste.

[WampusCrandle]

i personally really liked it. that one girl, Tara, is hot!

[Don Stugots]

i am enjoying it.

[KnoxHarrington]

Yeah, I liked it too. The whole vampire genre has become so cliched that it's good to see something try to put a new spin on it.

Plus, yeah, Tera is hot as hell.

[fezident]

Anna Paquin is almost reason enough for me to NOT watch it. (her and Kirsten Dunst will keep me from seeing a movie)
But.... anything that deals with modern day vampires is worth a shot.


Isn't Jay Mohr in this thing too?

How's the tone... is it a comedy? God I hope not.

[drjoek]

I tried to watch. Im not a big vampire guy. I always like HBO shows though. Im going to have to give it one more shot.

[razorboy]

AKA no.

Even worse, it's set in the fucking south, so you get to hear that retarded accent on top of everything.

Yeah, because midwestern accents are so sophisticated and lyrical.

[midwestjeff]

Yeah, because midwestern accents are so sophisticated and lyrical.

Aww.

Thanks buddy.

[JustJon]

Decent show so far. First ep obviously had to set up the characters, plotlines, the world, etc., but it was ok. I'm willing to watch it and see what happens next week.

[Name]

Watched it last night with my chick - I thought it was ok at best, she loved it. They're definitely trying to tap the Vamp/Romance which has taken over the book stores the last few years. The movie 'Twilight' which hits in a few weeks (trailer ran with the Dark Night) is one of those series which sold some insane millions of books worldwide which they are going to try and sequel out.

i just finished reading twilight which i thought was good, but dragged on a bit, but i can understand because the author wants you to familiarize yourself with the characters since its a series. Im reading the second one New Moon right now....we shall see where this leads.

I dvr'd True Blood last night but caught the ending of some chick getting kicked in the face which looked pretty sweet. i'm going to watch it tonight..cant wait!

The other huge one is the 'Anita Blake' series which is kind of down the same genre. Which is huge in sales and my chick is obsessed with.

[ravn816]

I'm an instant fan of this new show. :wub: I have to say the dream sequence in the front yard of Anna Paquins house was my favorite scene. Wow. Never before have I been so turned on by a scene where the characters didn't even touch each other.

ok..it describes it as erotic fantasy...IM IN!!! :thumbup:

[TheMojoPin]

Yeah, because midwestern accents are so sophisticated and lyrical.

I'm not burdened with an accent.

I'd prefer this show done with Frankenstein monsters. See how fucking "sexy" THAT is.

[MisterSmith]

If anybody uses Veoh to watch videos online, here is a link to the first episode of True Blood (http://www.veoh.com/videos/v158623215r9qjDJK).

You will have to download it using VeohTV to watch more than the first 5 minutes, but I watch tons of stuff on Veoh.

[KnoxHarrington]

You know, on those "Twilight" books -- it amuses me that the author is a hardcore Mormon who insists that the main characters not have sex before they marry.

Yet, one of them is a vampire.

So sucking blood is A-OK, but fucking before marriage is a sin.

OK then.

[King Imp]

I like the concept with them being out in the open and among society. I really wish Anna Paquin would get her teeth fixed though. She's pretty and has a great body, but everytime she opens her mouth and you see that gap, it takes away from her hotness.

Bullshit. Anna Paquin is gorgeous in every aspect.

[Willmore]

It's ok so far. Anna Paquin is hot, so at least it has that going for it.

With her mouth closed - a solid 9.

Opened - a 4 at best.

How can you not stare at the chasm?

"Fang-banger"......Im not sure if I like it or not. I'll watch again next week. Its extremely slow. I have zero background info on this series, but how long do we have to wait till we find out Paquin is like a half-vampire or something?

[TheMojoPin]

This shit is dumb as fuck.

OK, I could by the ham-fisted parallels of the vampires being an "oppressed minority" if they weren't fucking superpowered as all get-out. It's the same insulting logic when people say that the X-Men were a metaphor for blacks ad the stuggle for civil rights in 1960's America..."yeah, it's just like being oppressed...EXCEPT YOU CAN SHOOT MASSIVELY DESTRUCTIVE RAYS FROM YOUR FUCKING EYEBALLS."

But isn't part of why a minority is opressed the feeling of the majority that they could be *superior*? That is, we don't keep them down, they'll take over. (Or they'll take your women, at least.). So it does work in that regard.

[ravn816]

"Fang-banger"

I know it seems that way...but I was kinda turned off by the vampire in the sex video with the one her brother was banging in the beginning of the show. *shrugs*

Yeah, but in real life, it's a majority keeping down a minority with overwhelming force because the majority controls everything and the minority can't do much becase they have so fewer numbers and negligible resources compared to the majority. That goes out the window when the minority has fucking superpowers up the whazoo and each could probably slaughter hundreds of the majority before being put down.

Except it can't be during daylight hours, silver will F them up, etc. Vampires may be super-powered, but they also have some substantial weaknesses that can be easily exploited.

[Foster]

like being hundreds of years old without credit or employment history...
how many jobs can out there for people who like to sleep in?

[TheMojoPin]

Except it can't be during daylight hours, silver will F them up, etc. Vampires may be super-powered, but they also have some substantial weaknesses that can be easily exploited.

Vampires just have random, ridiculous weaknesses here or there. Humans have like a zillion things that can kill them. It's a stupid metaphor that doesn't hold up at all.

[mikeyboy]

I don't like Anna Paquin as an actress. I don't know why. It could be something totally superficial like her teeth, but I think it's something more than that. This show will have to make me look beyond that dislike if I'm going to get into it.

I just pray she'll be naked in one of these episodes before the end of this series.

[TooLowBrow]

that is not something they want widely known

[pittphantoms]

Do we really believe that doctors don't know their blood has healing powers? You would have to be dumb to believe the minute doctors could get a hold of a drop of vamp blood, they wouldn't have the world analyzing it.

[mikeyboy]

Do we really believe that doctors don't know their blood has healing powers? You would have to be dumb to believe the minute doctors could get a hold of a drop of vamp blood, they wouldn't have the world analyzing it.

Yeah, especially since it's apparently well known that it can be used as a drug. I'd be hard pressed to m believe that if it's out on the market somewhere (regardless of the fact that it's illegal), someone would have tried to analyze it

[WampusCrandle]

im confused as to what some of the powers of a vampire are - this is what i have come up with:

-longevity
-healing abilities
-ability to change forms (some)
-blood acts like viagra
-can move quietly
-can move really fast
-superior strength

anything i miss? i didnt know that vampires had some much strength and ability to move like the flash, did anyone else?

[joethebartender]

I want Sookie Stackhouse to read my mind.:wub:
Actually, I'd have a lot of explaining to do, so forget that.:tongue:

[donnie_darko]

i read the comic, does that count?

[grlNIN]

I don't like Anna Paquin as an actress. I don't know why. It could be something totally superficial like her teeth, but I think it's something more than that. This show will have to make me look beyond that dislike if I'm going to get into it.

I have the same feeling when i watch her in movies. I have narrowed this feeling down to starting when i saw the firs X-Men movie (I had seen her in others but she was never a major major role).

In X-Men she has this dumb as shit expression on her face for 96% of the movie, i guess she was supposed to be scared of magneto and herself but it literally came across as if she was half retarded. I think because of her teeth-they seem a little buck-toothed as well as gapped.

Overall i think she bears too close of a resemblance to Duck Man.

[grlNIN]

anything i miss? i didnt know that vampires had some much strength and ability to move like the flash, did anyone else?


Yes because theyre the 2 qualities that are always used in reference to vampires.

[JustJon]

Yeah being one of the three leads (and an Oscar winner) for The Piano doesn't count as a major role.

[Heather 8]

I just pray she'll be naked in one of these episodes before the end of this series.

If it follows the book close enough, you may get a little somethin-somethin within a few weeks.

[grlNIN]

Yeah being one of the three leads (and an Oscar winner) for The Piano doesn't count as a major role.

It doesn't count when you're 9 years old and Oscar or not, she's sucked at acting in everything i've seen her in.

[BrentfromTN1]

I like it so far. It is a little weird and off, but I do like it. I have no problem with the chick's teeth. I think she is sexy.

They are obviously making references that the bar owner is or has something to do with the dog that is always around Sookie.

[drusilla]

Overall i think she bears too close of a resemblance to Duck Man.

good call!

i really never liked her in anything. & no i've never actually sat through the piano. but it's never had anything to do with her acting ability, but like what mikeyboy said, it's her face. its just not easy to look at when she's acting. it's the same reason why i hate lili taylor so much.

[WampusCrandle]

Yes because theyre the 2 qualities that are always used in reference to vampires.

i honestly didnt know about the super speed. i knew of the strength, to some degree, but still . . . do vampires normally have the ability to change into another from that isnt a bat or some kind of bat/ human hybrid, such as a dog or horse? for that matter, could they try to change into another person?

[CousinDave]

I watched the first two episodes last night, so far I like it and I tend to hate all that vampire lit.

[Landblast]

I saw an episode for the first time the other night, wasn't all that bad, will watch again strictly for Anna Paquin - H. O. T.

Vampires have the magic ability to conveniently have whatever superpower the writer needs them to have at any given moment.

[Willmore]

Ok, isn't it a little odd that you are discussing the imaginary abilities of imaginary beings from a TV show based on a fiction book?

Vampires can do whatever a writer decides they can do, they have weaknesses that a writer decides they have. There is no general canon about vampires. Everything we imagine as "facts" about vampires - garlic, silver, daylight, longevity, etc. were at one point imagined by a writer.

[TheMojoPin]

Ok, isn't it a little odd that you are discussing the imaginary abilities of imaginary beings from a TV show based on a fiction book?

I'm not calling them out for writing fiction...I'm calling them out for writing fiction where the "oppressed people" have a wealth of ridiculous superpowers that give them massive advantages over the people supposedly "keeping them down." It would be one thing if this was in a major urban setting, and there was potentially a very large and powerful police force keeping things in check (though even that is a stretch with these people having super strength, super speed, the ability to change shape and Lord knows what else, probably flight and hypnotism, as per usual), but this series is set in Podunkville (just to hammer you over the head with the "THIS IS JUST LIKE RACISM IN OUR HISTORY BOOKS!!!" point) where the local authorities apparently have the law enforcement capabilities of Barnie Fife.

Going back to the original Bram Stoker's Dracula, vampires were faster and stronger, and could turn into bats, wolves or fog.

[WampusCrandle]

thanks, justjon - didnt know that

[TooLowBrow]

Going back to the original Bram Stoker's Dracula, vampires were faster and stronger, and could turn into bats, wolves or fog.

and despite having these abilities, would climb the wall like a spiderman to get into its tower

[Enabler]

I got around to watching episode 2 last night. Paquin is hot and I dont care what anyone says. I hate the black friend Tara. We get it...you're sassy. The thing I dont get is when do Vampires stop aging? The main vampire said he became a Vampire at the age of 13. But he's obviously not still 13. So he aged like another 20 years and then stopped aging? I'll keep watching this show, but Im secretly pissed at HBO for canceling John From Cincinatti and going this direction.

I wish we could have BOTH John from Cincinnati and True Blood, but rotating through the TV season (John from Cincy--summer season, True Blood fall/winter season). I loved that show too and was mad, albeit not surprised, it got cancelled.

OH! and the main vampire (Bill) didn't say he was made at 13, he said he was made at 30. Hope that makes more sense now.

Ooooh. Thirty not thirteen? Ok, that makes much more Vampire sense. Thanks!

[KnoxHarrington]

My problem with the show is that Alan Ball doesn't so much make a point as beat the hell out of you with his point. I mean, down to having Sookie's redneck brother complain about "special rights" for vampires, the show strays dangerously close to crossing the line from using the story as a metaphor to outright advocacy of a political position. We'll see if this continues, or gets reigned in somewhat.

Not any more or less than XMEN comic books IMO.

[KnoxHarrington]

Not any more or less than XMEN comic books IMO.

Well, true. This is not a very subtle genre.

[AnnoyedGrunt]

But it's not like every X-men comic touches on the minority subtext. Most of the time they're off fighting someone and it doesn't even come up.

[Willmore]

By comparison, if Battlestar Galactica is in your face with some of its political/social issues, then True Blood is shoving a huge black cock down your throat.

[sailor]

Ooooh. Thirty not thirteen? Ok, that makes much more Vampire sense. Thanks!

i really thought 13. didn't he talk about being a boy during the civil war when it happened? i thought he just aged at a slower rate, not that he didn't age any further.

[ravn816]

i really thought 13. didn't he talk about being a boy during the civil war when it happened? i thought he just aged at a slower rate, not that he didn't age any further.

I swear I thought he said he fought in the civil war and was made at 30 after coming home marrying and having children.

[Willmore]

Someone at HBO must be loving this show, it got renewed for a second season already.

[K.C.]

If it follows the book close enough, you may get a little somethin-somethin within a few weeks.

Good.

I have a reason to keep watching.

[sailor]

I swear I thought he said he fought in the civil war and was made at 30 after coming home marrying and having children.

after some research it appears you are correct.

[Doctor Manhattan]

Love the show. Anna is super hot (love how they are dressing her!)

So I don't understand something, isn't drinking vampire blood the thing that turns a human into a vampire? I know things vary between vampire movies/tv shows/books but I thought that was pretty standard? If people are using it as a drug (It's called "V Juice"?) they aren't turning into vampires. They how did Bill become one at 30, in 1865?

And yes, how the hell would the public not already know about the healing power of Vampire Blood? Or that Silver hurts them?

[Foster]

is it just me or is this showing getting worse?

[WampusCrandle]

is it just me or is this showing getting worse?

hopefully, its just you. i love this show. tonights episode was really good i thought, adding in that vampires can get hep D

yeah nowadays anything about vampires they just make their own rules up. Then whenever someone says something like "i thought you didn't like garlic" they say "thats just a silly human myth"

But I don't think they explained yet how one becomes a vampire. I'm confused about it.

I still don't know if i like the show...i'll still watch it cuz its on HBO though. I HATE the sassy black girl that tells-it-as-it-is. she annoys me, if i was at a bar and she was the bartender i'd never go back

[PapaBear]

I always thought you had to first be bit by a vampire to the point of being near death, then drink the vampire's blood to become one yourself.

[Doctor Manhattan]

I thought so too, but it looks like that is not the case on this show.

One thing that bugged me about the first episode is the interview with Bill Maher. He talks about the sorted history of feeding off people before Tru Blood came out. The American Vampire League spokeswoman says there is no proof of this, but wouldn't that fact that there was no synthetic blood for vampire to live off prove that they had to get blood from somewhere?

[JustJon]

Yeah, I can't stand her either, but that town seems so backwoods, I have to wonder if there is a second bar to go to.


And for those who hate the show, it was given a second season after 2 episodes had aired.

[GreatAmericanZero]

Yeah, I can't stand her either, but that town seems so backwoods, I have to wonder if there is a second bar to go to.


And for those who hate the show, it was given a second season after 2 episodes had aired.

yeah the black chick just gets worse and worse on this show. Every line is like "I'm a proud strong black woman and you can't handle it". She's like a Ricki Lake audience member non-stop


Watching the show, i just keep thinking what Ron said...why are all vampires gay?

[WampusCrandle]

any thoughts on the bar owner, Sam Merlotte, and him acting creepy - sniffing the dead girl's sheets. can he turn into a dog or something - could he possibly be a werewolf?

[GreatAmericanZero]

any thoughts on the bar owner, Sam Merlotte, and him acting creepy - sniffing the dead girl's sheets. can he turn into a dog or something - could he possibly be a werewolf?

well he played with that other dog that was with Sookie when she got attacked


but i have another question

Alot of the vampires have very modern tattoos. It seems weird to me that these beings would be around for 100+ years and decide to get tattoos within the last 10. Seems silly to me at that point

[Don Stugots]

"i've got gout of the dick"

[lleeder]

[pittphantoms]

any thoughts on the bar owner, Sam Merlotte, and him acting creepy - sniffing the dead girl's sheets. can he turn into a dog or something - could he possibly be a werewolf?


I thought they were implying that he was he killer... bu that would be hard because he was ocupied the night of the last killing...

wasn't it mentioned by one of the vampires on the first episode that they can live off the blood of animals, they just didn't like it as much
or am i confusing this with some other vampire story

[WampusCrandle]

wasn't it mentioned by one of the vampires on the first episode that they can live off the blood of animals, they just didn't like it as much

thats true, he did say that

[WampusCrandle]

i hope they explain tonight why Sam, the bar owner, is being such a creep, sniffing that dead waitress's bed sheets and his connection to that dog.

[teej]

i find suki's brother totally annoying. i hope his cock explodes

[WampusCrandle]

i find suki's brother totally annoying. i hope his cock explodes

i find him pretty funny to be honest . . . though he could get really awfully quickly if he doesnt have a good story/ plot to go with.

[Doctor Manhattan]

Now I go back to my question of how does a vampire turn a human into another vampire. It looks like Bill was turned by drinking Vampire Blood when he was close to death. Isn't that what happened to Sookie?

And are they really going to kill off Gran? That's just wrong.

And are they really going to kill off Gran? That's just wrong.

Yeah, I'm a little confused on that one too. But some in vampire lore, it has to be a feed to feed connection to make one a vampire. I'm under the presumption that's the case here.

Yep, Gran's dead. Which is surprising because she seems to be a Voice of Reason/Conscience in the show and I'm not sure where that's going to come from now. But if they're following the books, which I haven't read, then I guess there's a bigger purpose to it.

The usual vampire mythology (must have started with Bram Stoker) was that a vamp has to bite you first then the you have to drink the vamp's blood. Something abut the mixing of bloods.

i couldn't be more pissed that she died, but i will say that i never saw that coming. and, they have yet to answer the reason why that dog is around in every episode.

[JustJon]

The usual vampire mythology (must have started with Bram Stoker) was that a vamp has to bite you first then the you have to drink the vamp's blood. Something abut the mixing of bloods.

The chick who turned the vamp in the 1800's made him drink her blood after he drank hers.

i couldn't be more pissed that she died, but i will say that i never saw that coming. and, they have yet to answer the reason why that dog is around in every episode.

I'm starting to think Sam is a Werewolf.

[Doctor Manhattan]

The chick who turned the vamp in the 1800's made him drink her blood after he drank hers.

I think you meant "after she drank his". But now it makes sense. Mixing blood, you drink the vampire's blood which now has some of yours in it...

[Enabler]

I'm starting to think Sam is a Werewolf.


Totally. He killed Gran and the other chicks to set up the vampires. But is that too easy to predict? I gotta say, this show has gotten better each week. And is that super old vampire from the vampire club, from last weeks episode, the same guy from Generation Kill?

[WampusCrandle]

I'm starting to think Sam is a Werewolf.

i have to agree, as well. but, why would werewolves be in hiding and vampires be coming out to the world? also, i was thinking that maybe Sam was related to Bill, like a great grandson. or, Sam has parents where one is a vamp and the other is a human and he inherited the ability to change into different animals.

It could be Sam, but I also think that it could be the Detective Andy Bellefleur. Anyone notice that after Bill said a vampire wouldn't resist a fresh corpse, the next corpse (Gran) is all bloodied up, rather than strangled? Just a theory, could be wrong.

Maybe it has to do with the Underworld-esque Likens (Werewolves) vs. Vampires thing.. But then again I'm just speculating.

i kinda hope that doesnt happen, that the show turns into an Underworld type show. the show is doing so well, and has really got me guessing each week. i wouldnt mind seeing a werewolf, but still, please no Underworld. :glurps:

[JustJon]

The Sam rolling in the sheets made me think that he was messed up in some way, but not to the point of the murderer. Also would go with the werewolf thing if he had a thing for/with her and rolled in the sheets because he has an enhanced sense of smell.

[ChimneyFish]

I have no idea why, but for the life of me, I never even considered Sam being a werewolf.

Interesting........

I absolutely noticed that. Either Sam is a wolf-like creature or the show is doing everything in its power to make us think he is a werewolf. You're right though, the murderer could be Bellefleur instead. Bill had a reaction when he heard that name and my radio psychic would be that Bellefleur may be the descendant of that lady Vampire who created Bill. I dont think they gave her name.

question, is Sam a shapeshifter because there are shapeshifters or because its a side effect of having one vamp parent and one normal parent?

Going to suck for the sheriff when he invites the vampire girl into his house because she's cold and lonely only to discover that she's a replicant and get killed before the Blade Runner bar owner can make it there for the big showdown with the elder blond haired foreign dude.

[KnoxHarrington]

This show had damn near lost me about 2/3 of the way in. It seemed to be way too much soap opera going on: The Bold and the Beautiful with bloodsuckers. And, yeah, Tara's character is becoming unbearable. And I thought it was ridiculous that after Lafayette's been shown to be, basically, a drug dealing scumbag in the past few episodes, he gets to deliver the rah-rah, you-go-girl denunciation of some homophobic rednecks. Yeah, quite the role model there. And I'm getting sick of Jason fucking everything.

But the end drew me back in, and the preview of next week looks good. It's like the show has been almost avoiding the vampire storylines in a lot of ways, but they're coming now.

[Heather 8]

question, is Sam a shapeshifter because there are shapeshifters or because its a side effect of having one vamp parent and one normal parent?

If I recall, both of Sam's parents are shapeshifters. Shapeshifters have one shapeshifting child (always the firstborn of a couple), and any subsequent offspring are "normal" people, often with enhanced athletic skills. There are many different shapeshifters throughout the series, which will be significant during the next couple seasons (should the show last that long).

Yeah, but of the artsy variety. They couldn't show those babies flailing away as the bloodsucker was ramming her from behind?

The Sam rolling in the sheets made me think that he was messed up in some way, but not to the point of the murderer. Also would go with the werewolf thing if he had a thing for/with her and rolled in the sheets because he has an enhanced sense of smell.

it definitely had to do with his enhanced sense of smell, he wasn't just rolling around. he was totally sniffing the sheets. and don't forget the fact that he barks in his sleep. definitely sounds like a warewolf or something like it.

It could be Sam, but I also think that it could be the Detective Andy Bellefleur. Anyone notice that after Bill said a vampire wouldn't resist a fresh corpse, the next corpse (Gran) is all bloodied up, rather than strangled?i think he's sketchy, but having blood all over the place the way it was really doesn't add up to me. bill had said that a vampire wouldn't have been able to resist draining the blood. that body wasn't drained, it was just a bloodied mess.

totally loving the show more and more each week.

Bill is a Vampire
Sam is a Werewolf
Sookie/Gran are Witches

Thats what I think. But now the Sheriff is starting to sketch me out. The Sheriff, his brother Daryl and his other brother Daryl (bad Newhart joke*), may be the killer. Good episode this week, but the Pecan Pie eating scene dragged a bit too long for me. Eventual Paquin boobage saved it though. As always, next week looks really good.

I'm predicting that Bellefleur's son is going to be the killer. At least I think it's his son.
Sheriff Dearborne said to Bellefleur at the church that his son was acting weird and then that same guy went and hugged Bill after he spoke. Then he was overly emotional at Gran's funeral.

Actually it was his cousin. And I thought this was a great episode. It seems like the series is really trying to keep the audience guessing until the reveal (season finale?). I kind of like that it keeps me guessing.

[cogsdoc]

maybe it's the fault of my HD but her skin looks like vomit mixed with dirt. the boobies are far from impressive, and certainly don't compensate for that skin and those teeth. Oh and she can't act either. i'm sure she has a great personality though.

actually they could always be hurt by silver. In the 1850's They used to sell a vampire-hunting kit that included a gun with silver bullets. Silver weapons are useful against almost all evil creatures. And the older mirrors were polished silver, those were the ones they didn't cast a reflection from.

It's conceivable that a vampire has a tribal history in his original life, not to mention the tribal nature of being in vampire nest or coven or whatever. So I don't think its entirely unthinkable that a vampire might get stupid down with the sickness tattoos.

Also, probably covered in this thread, but how about those Anna Paquin nips?

It's not the police so much as Andy Bellfleur who seems to be desperate to find a lead in the case for two reasons. One being the obvious: to solve the case. The second reason is that he wants to gain respect in his hometown and solving the case might finally get it done for him. Think about it. Since the first episode he's been disrespected by Officer Larry-Darryl-Darryl, Sookie, Grannie Stackhouse, Tara, and even been thrown up against his truck by Jason. It makes sense that he'd hunt down every lead just on the small chance that it would gain him hero status in the community.

i just assumed, like everyone else, that he is more of a local than an authoritative figure. what case is he being investigated for? i thought they were more interested in wondering why he was running naked in the woods, no? the case for the girls that have been murdered throughout the show, for Gran, or for that vamp. house?

I mean, how would a vampire even have the virus in their blood if they aren't susceptible to human diseases? Would they actually carry it, but not be affected, or would them being a vampire automatically kill the virus?

I mean the murders of the four(?) women that have recently happened. This includes Grandma Stackhouse. It seems like he's trying to make every lead work, whether it's Jason's connections to the murdered women or Sam exhibiting suspicious behavior by running naked through the woods. So you're right, he was interested in Sam being out there, but in my view it's because he's trying to pin down some murder suspects.

my only problem with that is Sam, as far as we know, wasn't really connected with any of the murders, as far as we know. if Andy (the detective) is trying to connect Sam to murders, without any information or evidence, he deserves to be treated like the ham and egger of the town like he is now. the only thing that we can conceive that would be a connection, though Andy never saw it, was when Sam was sniffing the sheets of where the waitress died.

yeah, but still, it seemed like it was the same dog. of course, i could and probably be wrong

I completely forgot about him having scenes with the dog.
Now I'm right back at "what the flying fuck is with the dog????"!!!!!!!!

So i've got to go with the theory that there is more than one shapeshifter in Bon Temps. I don't think it is a werewolf, because that would just convolute the story.Plus, wouldn't vampires know that werewolves exist???? I'm thinking that the murders were committed by a human, to show that we can be every bit as evil and dangerous as any vampire.

well, if there are more that one shapeshifters, that would explain it. also, that one dog that Sam pet in the day couldn't be a wolverine since, from what i know about them, turn at night and during a full moon, right?

at any rate, i need next weeks episode.

THERE ARE ONLY 3 EPISODES LEFT IN THE SEASON!!! :glurps:

[ChimneyFish]

A werewolf, you mean????:wink:
I've never heard of one that could turn durng the day. And it's usually not something that the person can control.

I know. 3 more.:annoyed:

I thought I heard that they already got picked up for another season.

they certainly did, but i really cant wait almost 10 MONTHS for it ....

i have to say that i cant believe that i am caught up in this vampire soap opera ...

That is a loooong wait.:surrender:

And I really did think that this was going to be over-the-top cheesy, and even though it certainly has a cheese factor, it really has me tuned in every week.

If only to see Lizzy Caplan's delicious little rump.:devil2:

[disneyspy]

it aint soap opery!take that back!i dont watch soap operas!its quite the love triangle tween bill,sam and fuck... and i dont think you need to worry spoiler tags after tuesdays,if someone hasnt seen that weeks eppy yet they dont deserve to be let in on our geekiness

[TripleSkeet]

correct.

it had to be coming, but we yet to know by what means it came from. my theory he is half vampire/ half human, to which he can turn into an animal like a vampire can, but be in the sun like a human. of course, the other theory could easily be that there are people that can shape shift into different animals. either way, i cant wait to see how it plays out.

Go with your second theory. Thats the correct one.

Theres also ALOT more out there then we are seeing right now. Dont know if they are gonna show all of them but there are some things in this story most of us have never even heard of.

For instance: Ever heard of a Weretiger???

[cogsdoc]

it aint soap opery!take that back!i dont watch soap operas!

You've gotta love denial. I feel like I shouldn't like this show, but it continues to keep me coming back.

you have to admit it, its a soap opera - a vampire, southern soap opera, but a soap opera. and you know what, im proud to say it!

if you are telling me that you read the books, and giving me an ACTUAL plot bit - i will eat you.

Just call them "your stories", and you'll be all good.

And I would push it one more day to Wednesday.
I personally usually watch late Monday evening.

I read it, too.
Why did I do that????:wallbash:

Please, no spoilers from the books.
If you do, please say so before the spoiler tag.

Thank you.

look, im just gonna say this now so people can talk about it in public:

"Chimney and i are starting the TrueBlood Club.
RULE #1: DONT TALK ABOUT THE FUCKING BOOK AND RUIN THE SHOW!"

how's that ChimneyFish?:happy:

[ChimneyFish]

That'll do, WC. That'll do.:tongue:

A. I didnt read the books.

B. I didnt give you a plot bit, just some weird character I heard of.

C. They are called SPOILERS for a reason

[ChimneyFish]

No harm, no foul then.

We just didn't want people who read the books ruining the show for everyone else.

Someone did that the first season of Dexter.

It was quite annoying.
My fault for reading it, anyway.

[WampusCrandle]

A. I didnt read the books.

B. I didnt give you a plot bit, just some weird character I heard of.

well, the fact was you told me to go with one of my theories, as if you knew, which would lead me to believe that you read the book. and yes, they are called spoilers, so you should put them around spoilers :annoyed:

[Aggie]

Sooo, I don't get HBO anymore but I happened to catch 2 episodes of this at a hotel while on business.

I saw two episodes: The one where the old lady brought the vampire to the church and the one where she died and Rogue hit it with the vampire.

I was intrigued...is the rest of the season good? Should I get HBO again or wait for the DVD's?

hell yes. its great!! do both!

[The Ogre]

my only problem with that is Sam, as far as we know, wasn't really connected with any of the murders, as far as we know. if Andy (the detective) is trying to connect Sam to murders, without any information or evidence, he deserves to be treated like the ham and egger of the town like he is now. the only thing that we can conceive that would be a connection, though Andy never saw it, was when Sam was sniffing the sheets of where the waitress died.

A little late to respond here but of course he's connected. One of the women worked for him and he was her landlord with unfettered acceess to her apartment. Not to mention that another of the victims' granddaughter works for him, and that granddaughter's brother was a prime suspect. He has more than a few connections. Add to that the suspicious behavior and his murky background and it's easy to see why he'd be questioned.

i guess i should have been more clear - i love to ramble. i should say that there was no real motive that would connect Sam to the murders, or, at least a credible one. he really doesn't have that murky a background, he just lied about where he and his parents are from - people lie about their family all the time.

Two things. I agree that there's no motive to tie Sam to the murders, but I think that a guy like Bellfleur who is out of ideas and leads will take any chance he can get. Also, you're not looking at this in the context of the story. We have seen through Sookie's telepathy that the residents of Bon Temps are some serious gossipy motherfuckers. To them a guy like Sam does have a murky background. Even Sookie doesn't know anything about him, so you can reasonably assume that the rest of the town with their proclivity to find out ever sordid detail of the life that goes on around them, would wonder about him from time to time. And I have to keep stressing this here, Andy Bellfleur is under pressure to bring some resolution to the murders, so even if there's a missing motive or evidence, he is going to pursue a lead anyway. Why would he have called the nudist colony to check on Sam's story otherwise?

[SpicyMcHaggis]

I watch it for two reasons, and they're both on Lizzy Caplan.

those are two very good reasons - but there are more, don't forget Sookie side tit.

I feel that Andy wants respect from his town more than being a good cop. i have to say that because people dont know a background of someone, like Sam, doesnt mean its a murky one, they just dont know anything about him. but sure, people would want to know about anyone else's past in a small town like that. with that thinking, he would be finding out his background because he is a fuckin' ham and egger, not that he was being a good cop. I find Andy to be funny, and i can certainly relate to him, but he just isnt that good a cop, as far as we know, and as far as he has shown us.

[The Ogre]

From the looks of this episode

Andy was trying to establish a connection between Sam and the murders.

Also it really stinks that Steven Root has bought the farm already. He was a highlight of the show for me in the few short scenes he had.

[WampusCrandle]

well, wonderful bombshells of craziness were dropped today: Sam is definitely a shapeshifter, and can turn into animal, even human; Bill turned anyone into a vampire; there are werewolves out there, and other mystical creatures

so, what was with that naked chick and boar doing in the middle of the damn road?

shit is going down all around that lil' southern, backwoods town .... only 2 episodes left, I can't handle it.....

[ravn816]

Looking at the preview, the next episode looks so sad. :glurps:

What am I going to do in 2 weeks???:sad:

[Heather 8]

They're introducing her already? She doesn't show up until Book 2. She's quite an interesting character.

last night, i was going crazy, and then this popped up in my head - "i hope i dont die, or lose my vision and hearing, so i can see the next season"

They're introducing her already? She doesn't show up until Book 2. She's quite an interesting character.

all i know is, that's the kinda person you take home to meet the parents.

[pittphantoms]

Was that Michelle Forbes in the road?

I hated her on Battlestar Galactica... in a good way though... she is a pretty good actress.

[ravn816]

Yep, that was Michelle Forbes. She's going to be a cast regular next season, along with Jessica and Terry's characters and one other person who hasn't been introduced yet.

Apparently, according to an interview with Alan Ball, they are adding elements of Book 2 for the last 2 episodes so it will be an easier tie-in when they start Season 2 (which will be based off of the 2nd book).

So, how bad is bill going to freak out when he sees sookie & sam making out? :huh:

[WampusCrandle]

So, how bad is bill going to freak out when he sees sookie & sam making out? :huh:

if anything, from the preview it seems that Sookie is pissed at Bill and is gonna be a grumpy bitch the entire next episode.

[mailman73]

Sookie needs a good dirt fucking again ...shes ben so raggy

[WampusCrandle]

Sookie needs a good dirt fucking again ...shes ben so raggy

fine! all do it.

[cogsdoc]

Anyone else think that Cajun dude is the murderer? Kind of a gut feeling more than anything

[ravn816]

You know what's funny is that my husband said the same thing last night. It was kind of based on his talk with Jason about taking control. (Hopefully, this isn't considered too spoilerish, let me know if you do.)

[WampusCrandle]

Anyone else think that Cajun dude is the murderer? Kind of a gut feeling more than anything

now that i think about it, he could be. i hope he isn't i really like him.

[Foster]

what bothers me is sookie knowing sam along time and not ever finding out his secret, she reads minds damn it!
