DID YOU SEE IT?

I really enjoyed it. And Fiona Shaw is going to be a great addition. Wow on them getting an actress of her caliber.

scootebaby 06-26-2011 09:32 PM

Im watching the encore presentation bc i was working....Dunno who Fiona Shaw is...but i love the show so im sure she will be a great addition!!

*Anya* 06-26-2011 10:01 PM

True Blood, oh yeah!
 
Took me a little bit to get into the show tonight but the end was great-better not write it to be a spoiler for the other west coasters that don't get an east coast feed @ 6:00PM.

I will check back tomorrow, off to sleep now

Fiona Shaw plays Marnie, the head witch. She is also Aunt Petunia in the Harry Potter series.

scootebaby 06-26-2011 10:23 PM

ahhh ok...so i assume eventually it will explain how things got to where they are...or do i need to go back and watch the season finale again,because most of it made no sense to me tonight.

betenoire 06-26-2011 11:28 PM

less than an hour until I get to watch it. I was at work the first time around, but it'll be on here at like 2:20.

*tense*

Granddaddy Earl?

OK, so it wasn't just me then...i wasn't too impressed and i'd watched the last 3 episodes of the previous season over the weekend to catchup before last night...i did, however, get a kick out of the "fairy godmother" stuff...LOL

Darn Time Warner isn't on the list of providers for HBO Go, so there was no watching the next episode online...grrr

I think we probably have to just accept that there are things we'll never know, since Sookie lost a year of her life while she was in Faery. She doesn't know how any of those things happened either.

Hot damn Tara, though.

Also - I guess Bill being King means he killed Sophie Anne. Which is a drag, she was one of my favourites.

Why is Bill less pale this season? Do vampires go to tanning booths?

I hate Lafayette's new haircut.

Arwen 06-27-2011 11:18 AM

I haven't read the books. Tried to read the first one and nearly turned it into a wall-banger. LOL

I loved the Fey. Mab, queen of the Fey, is a name to look up if you aren't familiar with her. ;)

I'm not convinced Sophie Anne is gone. I hope she shows back up.

Tara/Toni made me yawn. Didn't like that at all. And Jason as the good cop? Must have been a helluva year.

I knew who bought the house though. That was really clear. :)

Apocalipstic 06-27-2011 12:25 PM

I love True Blood...all of it! The books, shortstories, show, websites....I am eat up!! (pun intended)

Randomly........

Lafayettes hair was weird, I agree. Maybe when the mohawk gets longer?

I miss the Queen, hope Arwen is right!

Thrilled Sookie's poor house is finally fixed back up pretty.

Loved the Tara scenes. Cage fighting!

The parrot creeped me out.

Gampa Earl lol. :vigil:

Love Eric!

Dissapointed in Hoyt and Jessica....and what are Tommy and Hoyt's mother up to?

I will have to watch it again to get more detail. :)

Oh and Bill is
still
LAME

betenoire 06-27-2011 02:23 PM

I also still hate Bill.

Did anybody notice that as an "ugly" faerie Claudine looks a lot like Molly Shannon? (Not that Molly Shannon is ugly, but she just reminded me of her. I think it was a facial expression or something that did it)

Not to spoil, but Sophie Anne dies in the books...so I figure she's a goner. Too bad, though - I really love Evan Rachel Wood.

(re: the books. They aren't super-well written and the editing is terrible...but the stories are addicting. They're my super smutty soap opera with shapeshifters. I'll take it.)

I don't understand why Sookie didn't take Sam aside and tell her where she was. They've got the sort of relationship where she should be able to do that. I wish she would.

Apocalipstic 06-27-2011 03:32 PM

I think "super smutty" is what I enjoy most about TB!

lol @ Molly Shannon!

Sookie needs to tell Sam, I agree. He seems to be going down quick! lol.

*Anya* 06-27-2011 04:47 PM

True Blood
 
I Hope everyone got to watch it so I don't spoil it 4 anyone. Thoughts:
1. Uncle Earl? No matter what he is in, he is always Gary Cole!
2. The whole fairy scene was, to me, lame!
3. Tara hitting it with a girl-even tho they both are too femme for my taste-was great & a big step up from the lunatic Franklin!
4. Don't like Bill, never have, never will. I do like his real-life British accent though.
5. Jessica hot! Even though she is femme, could go there with her. How about her & Pam together-now that would be a great scene!
6. Eric. OMG! beautiful man, just beautiful. Sookie & Eric have far more chemistry than Sookie & Bill!! I know they get together in one of the books so am looking forward to that!
7. Agree about Laffette's hair. Didn't get it. Almost looked like they were trying to butch him up a little.

PS: sorry about the double-post yesterday!

It seems like Gary Cole has to be in every creepy show, surely he will be back. lol.

The Fairy scene reminded me of The Batchelor set....people watking around in fancy surroundings with no purpose?

Yes on Jessica and Pam, and how about add in Tara too...the more the merrier kind of thing. lol.

Bill, just icky!

and Eric? yeah, I would do Eric. Maybe, if he were a she. lol.

SFFemmePrincess 06-28-2011 02:12 PM

Well for those who have Comcast/Xfinity, episode 2 is on On Demand. I dont know about the other providers. I wont spoil it for those who haven't seen it, but it does look like they are going to spend parts of each episode flashing back through the year that Sookie lost, but not in a super confusing LOST sorta way. It is nice to see how we got from point a to point b. I agree that Sookie should tell Sam where she was, but does even know that she is faery??

I don't think that Sam knows, but with his being two-natured and all I feel like he's trustworthy. Plus with him being NOT a vampire he's a pretty "safe" person, even though he's kinda batshit right now.

Tara and Sam have been my favourite characters since season one. Love them!

Apocalipstic 06-29-2011 03:20 PM

Ohhh, thank you! I do have Comcast/Xfinity. Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Yeah Sam and Tara are two of my favs too!

I am so excited I can go home today and watch episode 2.

I need to see if the new book is out, i have not even looked this year...thoughhhhhhhhhh....I don't remember the last book...perheaps I need to re-read. :blink:

undone 07-08-2011 12:38 AM

I understand the fae mostly, but what happened to sookies cousins? the ones her other grandfather sends her in the books?

I do feel like they have cheesed the episodes up so far, miss the grittier style. it is what hooked me from the start, that and the intro song! I wanna do bad bad things to you!

but for any avid readers if you like the sookie books there is a series of books by Jim Butcher "Dresden files" that absolutely blows your socks of in the first few pages. they are smart, fast paced and a great read!

LOL i thought i was the only one that said this about Gary Cole...

The "Bachelor set" comment totally cracked me up :rofl:

But Pam...OMG!!!

turasultana 07-11-2011 08:53 AM

Is anyone as excited as me that this is Book 4! (ok sortof book 4 ).

Eric losing his memory being all sheepish and cute. (Calling her "snooki" ha)

I'm just hoping they include the book 4 shower scene. please pretty please. :)

Fiona Shaw is a great addition.

Jess 07-11-2011 09:57 AM

Christie and I adore the "memory loss Eric". She points out that it is very much akin to my inner five year old. I think he is just precious and having not read the series yet ( I "read" via audio file), I'm looking very forward to this development!

The "sheepish" Eric:

Duchess 07-11-2011 04:37 PM

I'm so excited about season 4. Loved when Pam was trying to film the commercial.


The thought of Debbie and Alcide together makes my skin crawl. She's the only one that can make looking "normal" really creepy.


One of my favorite Pam scenes....



Duchess 07-11-2011 04:42 PM

Did anyone notice how Lafayette seem to intensify the strength of the witches?

Queerasfck 07-12-2011 08:22 AM

The good, the bad and the ugly.
 
Good-This has been my favorite season since the first one (so far). I like that they are using humor more in some of the writing.

Good-To me it's obvious that Layfette has the power not that Wiccan lady and I don't trust his boyfriend anymore.

Good-The doll is creepy. I am interested to see where they go with it. Of course I love Pam and she better not get killed off.

Bad-Tara. Snoozing with her new found lesbianism. She bores me.

Ugly-The stuff with Jason right now. I hate the story line. It's gross and disturbing. I wish Crystal and all her kin-folk would all die. SOON.

Arwen 07-12-2011 08:32 AM

Another one who hasn't read (and probably won't) the series. Loved the scene with the Queen. Thanks HBO for one last look at Sophie Ann. :)

Not sure about the AVL affiliation. Feels a bit KBG to me.

Agree that Tara's lesbianism is a yawn. Was that in the books?

Finally caught up on the last two shows. lol

OMG, Tara even had on Doc Martins...lmao. I do like her, but they are being trite with the lesbian stuff.

Don't trust Jesus now either. Want to...but don't.

The doll creeps me OUT!

And the Panther story line? too gross to watch. I hate it. When all the inbred women were lined up to rape Jason I about gaged....not to mention their teeth. YUCK. Oh and the snacking on entrails? Shutter.

Thank goodness for Pam, love her!

Yeahh, but I liked his swagger and clothes before...we shall see. lol.
I hate the cut off sweat shirt look.

Am enjoying the season so far, except for the panther story line, I could totally do without that. I liked it better in the book, but maybe I just pictured it less gross somehow.

I loved the books and have read them all. :)

Maybe they will bring Sophie back, loved her!

AVL very KGB!

Tara is a very minor character in the books, the persona we see on the show was created by the producers...as is Lafayette for the most part since he died at the end on book one.

and

The witches are really sweet and funny in the book...

Actually in the books Tara was a very boring white lady who had gone to school with Sookie and ran her own clothing boo-teek. She married a stupid but attractive boy that they were friends with in highschool named JB.

I like Tara from the show a zillion times better. She's actually one of my favourite characters.

Well because in the books it was less rapey. And Crystal wasn't in on it. In the books, remember, Crystal's ex boyfriend kidnapped Jason and held him captive and bit him every night so that he would turn into a panther - because he thought if Jason was a panther Crystal wouldn't want him any more.

I guess the whole "bring Jason into the family to add new blood to the line" storyline is a takeoff from the books where Calvin was always trying to court Sookie because he wanted HER to add new blood to the line. But at least in the books Calvin didn't want to tie up, drug, and rape anybody. Calvin was actually a pretty awesome guy in the books.

OMG, thats right...I guess in my mind I pictured the inbred panthers with better teeth...lol.

Maybe when I read the books I pictured it all sweet and nice lmao. I am such a dork! lolololol

Debbie Van Pelt? Agreed! She is vile!

I do like Tara wayyy better in the show, but the Doc Martins really made me laugh. :)

Jess 07-13-2011 04:03 PM

I'm not sure why it bothers me that several folks have made mention of the "lesbianism" scenes with Tara in a less than positive light.

Me? I thought it HAWT! HAWT! HAWT! Matter of fact, if I slow rewind and slow advance a couple of scenes it just gets hotter.

I guess the reason it bothers me, is that no one has had any "less than positive" things to say about the "lesbian" scenes with Pam or SophieAnn. Not to mention any ill regard for the scenes with Bill/ Sam ( fantasy/ dream scene) or Eric/ Talbot.

Why is this? Seriously, what is the difference that makes someone see Tara's sex scenes as icky or tiresome or whatever? Never saw a word said when she was being tortured and raped. Hmmm...

Edited to add: oh yeah, I forgot Lafayette/ Jesus. The entire show ( including the marquis in the opening credits "God Hates Fangers") reflects the LGBT struggle, why is this one aspect bothering to folks?

Peach 07-13-2011 06:00 PM

I can tell, that you wont have to worry about Debbie if they stay to the book. Not sure how close they do stay though. I'm reading them in order, and have only seen season 1. I know there was a fair bit of sex in the books, but seriously, season 1 was basically porn!

Miss Scarlett 07-13-2011 06:58 PM

"You just killed my fairy godmother!"

Best line in the entire episode.

OK that doll is seriously creepy!

I find Tara's character very boring especially in the last two seasons. I don't find her icky or unattractive physically. The story line with her mom as an alcoholic was interesting, since then not so much for me.

Maybe you could elaborate on the last part you edited. I don't really follow what you're saying.

Jess 07-13-2011 08:20 PM

I guess I was just noting that half of the primary cast has had intimate homosexual scenes and I just wonder what it is specifically that bothers several of the thread participants about hers.

I find her character very amusing, in that soap operatic sort of "wtf is going to happen to Tara next" way. Kinda like the day time character who has been in a coma since she was hit by a train on her way back from the kidney dialysis treatment where she ran into the man who posed as her father as a child but was really an escaped serial killer from Portugal... ya know?

anywho... just curious

I don't know why, but Tara's lesbian scenes and new story line wasn't exciting to me.

I think it would have been better if she had been turned into a vampire then had a sexual affair with Sookie.

Tara's lesbianism is boring. It doesn't fit her character AT ALL. Why would she turn to a woman? Why would she be in some obviously rigged girl-on-girl fight scene?

It just feels like HBO's playing to the straight male crowd who always want to see girls hook up. That mentality is just gross to me. Let me caveat this with I don't see that mentality in your statement, Jess, but I do see it in some folks who watch this show. They seem to get titillated by it and that bugs me.

Especially when it's half-assed soft porn that's not even very good porn.
