Omg one of the awesomest series on tv at the moment!!

The show doesn't take itself too seriously. So much fun and fab

There's sex and/or nudity in like every ep. Hahaha

My fav characters are mostly vampires: Eric, Pam and Jessica.. And then there's Lafayette

Can't wait to see the next episode, shit's going down!!

i think i was like the first person at jph!p to tout the love for true blood.

LOL Ok season 2 is over!! Thoughts??

I thought the Maryann thing dragged on way too long, but when she finally got pwned it was really rewarding. (+ Naked Sam is always welcome

) But the rest of the season 2 finale wasn't very exciting. On the one hand I'm glad because it makes the wait feel less horrible, but on the other of course it would've been awesome to have an epic ending for the season. hrrrm

Aw man, I so wish this show would air in my country, we only get that other vampire crap Moonlight and Blood Ties.

season 2 was great!

awaiting season 3 now

Just finished watching Season 2. I think it's definately better than Season 1 (as good as that was), it expanded on the universe quite a bit, I particularly liked the conflict between the vampires and the Fellowship of the Sun. I knew that Sarah, the pastor's wife would be crazy.

I really like the show overall. It's got one of the best relationships in TV. No not Bill and Sookie, but Hoyt and Jessica. And some really great characters like Eric, Pam and Lafayette. Maryann was another great character. My favourite line from any episode of True Blood had to be this exchange:

Quote

Sarah: You're worse than Judas!
Jason: Why? What, what did he do to you?

And any scene with Lafayette is guaranteed to be hilarious, though there was less of it in Season 2 unfortunately.

So with the season premiere just passed, has anyone seen it yet? Does it appear promising or was it a bit of a letdown? I hope they explain how Eric is able to fly

I found the first two episodes to be a bit of a letdown. The fact that they have too many characters/subplots now may be detrimental to the show as much of the premiere is spent on tying up loose ends and such. I'll probably put off watching this for a few weeks and resume watching it later marathon-style.

Oh, and there's this Snoop Dog 'True Blood' rap video...

I haven't got the chance to watch the third season of True Blood yet. My favorite characters so far in the show is Pam(I hope she included more this season) and Lafayette.

Like my homegirl tama said, they shoulda had another 3 on the cover...BUT HEY NAKED BODIES!

Great promo poster

I heard a lot of stores are pulling that issue of Rolling Stone because of that cover. Boobs and peen never hurt anybody

Haven't really gotten into this show yet...seen some cool clips though...so maybe.

I'd recommend really getting into it.

As much as I like all the amount of bare skin on True Blood, I don't think I'll ever find blood & biting erotic...

It's just too violent

Luckily that's not *all* that True Blood is, but yeah...

Maybe that's why recently I've been mostly fancying Sam and none of the vampires

Tuffty · « **Reply #16 on:** April 09, 2011, 01:11:13 PM »

Season 3 was pretty awesome, but I was let down by the finale somewhat particularly with the stuff that happened with Jason's and Sam's characters. Those revelations seemed to happen quite suddenly for my liking.

But no doubt about it, the ending to episode 9 was one of my absolute favourite TV moments:

Stryfe · « **Reply #17 on:** April 09, 2011, 02:28:01 PM »

Haha yeah, that's one of my favourite tv moments as well. "Now time for the weather. Tiffany?" Ahh, pure gold.

Anyone else tempted to check out storylines from the books? Not that the show follows them that strictly... Hurr, still gotta wait til July for the new season to start...

shirenuファクトリー · « **Reply #18 on:** April 09, 2011, 10:07:07 PM »

I know at least one storyline from the books that's gonna be happening next season

Spoiler below
