Re: TRUE BLOOD - new series on HBO

Ok for last nights episode...a few things.

Spoiler:

Did anyone get really curious about all of the animal heads Sam had put up over the bar? And it came right after he got his butt kicked by the vamps. Maybe he needs proximity to use animal power/shapeshifting ability. By having the stuffed heads maybe he can draw on those animals. Also, that would explain why the suspected Sam Dog looks just like Sam's dog.

Second:

Spoiler:

Amy spoke of Sookie's brothers "unrealized potential". She also seems to know an awful lot about vampire capture and also talked about "the hunt"....could she be a slayer that has realized jason is also a slayer? She was at a vampire bar when she was introduced. The hunt for V could just be to introduce Jason to slaying. AND maybe slayers use V to increase thier strength and senses for the hunt?

Interesting theories...

All I know is I was kinda hoping that Amy chick was stable, you know give Jason less of a reason to be a screw-up. After last night I'm guessing that won't be the case Each week they really do leave me wanting to see what happens next; one of the few shows I'm really invested in this season.

Anyone notice the magazines on Sam's table - one of them was "BARK".

Very interesting episode - Dexter is still the best bloody show on Sunday night, but True Blood is at least keeping me intrigued.

When are they just going to rename this show 'Twilight'

 

[galactiboy]

Re: TRUE BLOOD - new series on HBO

Probably when everyone looks like a teen model on the show

True Blood is nowhere near gay enough to be called that.

Yeah, it's got hot hot hot naked chicks and real, badass vampires, not some emo-ass teenage, "cutting" losers!!

Give me a ^^^^ing break dude. They've ripped the entire main plot from Twilight.

Hmmm, a girl with a 'gift' falls in love with a vampire. Yet there's a werewolf who is also in love with her.

Wow, what a completely original idea

Re: TRUE BLOOD - new series on HBO

Since you all need some learning -

The Twilight Series is a book series by Stephenie Meyer and started with Twilight the book written in 2004

True Blood is based on the Southern Vampire Series written by Charlaine Harris and the first book Dead Until Dark written in 2000.

The publishing dates are 2005 and 2001 respectively (therefore written previously the year before.

Re: TRUE BLOOD - new series on HBO

Ok, well here's something I found on the web about Sookie from the books:

Spoiler:

Harris describes Sookie as a tanned, blue-eyed, and buxom blond. But although she is young, fit and good looking, Sookie did not have many suitors until she met the vampire Bill Compton. Being able to read her date's minds was usually a big turn-off for Sookie. And her reputation as a weirdo didn't make her very attractive either.

Now Sookie finds herself attracted to dominant men with supernatural abilities. Vampires and other "supes" are harder to read than humans, muffling the effects of her telepathy and giving Sookie a refreshing break from the constant noise of other people's thoughts.

Vampires seem especially immune to her ability. Their brains appear to be blank spaces when compared to the busy tangle of ideas that come from a human's mind.

Because of this relaxing blankness, Sookie was able to experience her first physical and emotional romantic relationship with Bill, who was turned into a vampire following the American Civil War. He introduced her to the complexities of vampire society in the United States. This led to many difficulties for Sookie but their relationship lasted several months before his infidelity with a former lover, the vampire Lorena, led Sookie to break things off. Eric later forced Bill to reveal to a shocked Sookie that he was ordered by the Queen of Louisiana to court her in order for the Queen to gain her loyalty. Though Bill swore that he really did fall in love with her over time, a devastated and depressed Sookie told Bill he was banished from her life.

As the series progresses, Sookie finds herself attracted to several other "supes", such as her boss and longtime friend Sam Merlotte, a true shifter who can turn into any animal he wishes. Sookie and Sam kiss several times and they've discussed the possibility of a romantic relationship, but Sookie was worried about the effect it would have on their business relationship. She also went out on a few dates with the werewolf Alcide Herveaux. In that case, his violent ex-girlfriend Debbie proved to be an obstacle to a relationship.

Some time after her break-up with Bill, Sookie was forced to care for his boss, the vampire sheriff of Area 5, Eric Northman. Eric was under a witch's curse that altered his memory and left him vulnerable and more attractive to Sookie than his ordinarily manipulative self. When he regained his memory, he also regained his deep entanglement with vampire politics, leading Sookie to break off the relationship. Eric recently revealed that he recalls all of the events that occurred while he was under the curse.

Sookie also dated the famous weretiger Quinn. However, that relationship became strained after Quinn and his sister disappeared at the end of All Together Dead. Sookie ended the relationship when she realized Quinn would always put his family (his half-sister Frannie and his deranged mother) ahead of her.

Well, first off it just polite to be considerate of everyone else. If you already know, just let other people watch and they can figure it out for themselves.

So just use the Spoiler Tag if you think other people might not want to know ahead of time.

If you like to read - please do read the books - they are better.....

They don't have the same things in the show as the book and vice versa.....

Re: TRUE BLOOD - new series on HBO

I plan on reading it after the first season ends... I just don't like to start one in the middle of the other if that makes sense
