More Vampires
I've just started watching True Blood on account of having watched all of Firefly and now feel slightly meaningless in the universe.
So what does everyone think of it? I'm 4 episodes in and it's keeping me entertained. Just the right amount of giggles to make sure it doesn't take itself too seriously.
Favorite bit so far is when the main character's brother (SPOILER)drinks a whole vial of V and freaks out
:mario::luigi:
I've been meaning to pick this up, everyone I know who watches it says it's great. I should get onto it.
You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!
Supposedly, vampirism represents homosexuality, I watched an episode once, it was fun, but anything I would watch religiously.

Yeah I just saw a picture of the ad but that's it. What's it about?
How's that?! I mean in general it's a very sexual thing, and in the Anne Rice books there's a lot of manlove, but...yeah.Originally Posted by Laddy
Anyways I loved the show and people have been telling me to read the books but I'm not so interested in reading it...The show is good, but the cliffhangers are a bit too much for me sometimes...
It's based on The Southern Vampire Chronicles book series about some ho named Sookie Stackhouse in... I think it's Louisiana. She can read people's minds and works in a bar.
So the Japanese have invented a synthetic blood, and because of this the vampires of the world are coming out of the closet and forming a "Vampire Rights Movement." Some vampires are "mainstreaming" by living as humans and drinking only "Tru Blood," while other vampires are like "SCREW YOU PUSSY BITCHES I'M THIRSTY AND EVIL!"
The series is part murder mystery, part horror, part drama, part love story, and part porn.
It's not great, but I enjoy it.
In some ways, I enjoyed the series more than the books. I do love the books and all though. It becomes increasingly strange as things go on, but when I finally accepted the universe for what it is, I had a better time.
Sookie seems bitchier in the series. I don't know if that's good or bad.
I think that they relate vampirism with homosexuality, because I mean come on, after hundreds of years you'd be ready for new things too.
I love True Blood. I've seen the entire first season, and I'm so purchasing HBO just to watch the second season when it comes out during summer.
I like Jason <3
But Sookie looks like an alien. And Tara annoys the crap outta me cuz she looks like a man.
Good Show. I'm reading the books now too =)
Well.. I agree that vampirism is very sexual, but I don't know that it can really be equated to homosexuality in every case. I mean in a lot of literature/other media, I'll agree that the two go hand in hand, but I don't think that it's used as a representation, especially not in this show. But maybe I'm just missing something.
