True Blood

[musclemom]

I watch True Blood and really like it. And these vampires DRINK BLOOD, need the shit in fact. It's an interesting twist, the social acceptance thing. And yes, some vamps do want a "normal" life, but just as many of them are completely thrilled at being able to kill people and drink their blood and just generally enjoy the whole lack of regular societal accountability.

I don't think it's too soap operaish. Has some interesting twists, both human and supernatural.

Now my husband, he can't frigging stand the show. Teases me a bit about watching it, in fact.

I liked how Bill was forced to convert the Jesusy chick as his punishments and she went to the opposite extreme once she was embraced...all about the rules ...I can kill anyone I want now.

I happen to catch a couple episodes recently and felt it was to soap opera-ish so prepare yourself.

Today's vampires want a "normal life". Unlike the character of Dracula famously played by Christopher Lee, today's vampires have feelings. I prefer the Forever Knight (british version) or the Dark Shadows series. I find it interesting the original vamp was a countess from Hungary, she didn't even drink blood just took bloodbaths. That's Hollywood for ya!

I read the Twilight books mainly because the 6th grade girls in school were asking for them. Thanks President Obama for allowing his daughter to read it. I liked the movie it was entertaining, books are always better tho. Personally I did not care for Bella or Edward in the books or movie. They were both too needy. Nothing worse than a whimpy vampire!

I blame women for the arc in vampire personalities....they've been turned into a stereotypical "bad boy with a heart of gold." Vampires should view humans like cattle...the ones that cling to their humanity should still be subject to their inner desires and have the general opinion they are superior to their food.

I finished season one tonight.....

I hope it doesn't go too soap opera like..

I finished it last night. Ordered the blu rays from netflix. Like i said i started watching partially through season 2...without really knowing much before that

Season 1 is really good, i was hooked and very impressed. I wish i had started from that point. Alot of the perceived cornyness i thought about the show was dispelled. They put the story together well and you actually start liking the characters.

Season 2 isn't as good.....but it's still entertaining.

I liked how they developed the characters in season one ...for the most part. Bill was a "main streamer" but not just a bad boy with a heart of gold...he was a predator that killed people...he wasn't cut and dried as a "good guy" but a true anti-hero.

That sucks... pun intended...

Well, they were building up to it....vampires seem to fulfill the female psyche for bad boy with a heart of gold...that becomes a carpet...

I actually watched the "Vampire Diaries" before "Supernatural" and it was exactly what I thought it would be..."True Blood" remains the best vampire show on TV.
