It took me about three days but thanks to surfthechannel.com, I managed to watch the entire season of True Blood.
No.. I have not read the Stackhouse books they were based on. I want to but I refuse to pay full price for books and the local used bookstores seem to be severely lacking when it comes to trying to purchase any of the books in that series.
Anyway....
As for plot/script/what-have-you, I love the t.v. series. Though it seemed to leave out a LOT between episodes 10 and 11. As for the characters, they were ok. "Vampire Bill" is not as good looking as I think he should be. (He should really do something with that hair of his.) His personality kinda sucks. I mean, you can be tall, dark, and mysterious without being incredibly boring. My favorite character is Lafayette... Unfortunately, it seems as though they killed him off. Pity. IMHO, he was the most interesting one.
I could have done without the amount of soft porn in every episode, but hey, gotta get the male demographic interested somehow I guess, so a bit of T&A is needed. I understand that in certain areas, the sex was an important part of the story. But I really don't need to see naughty bits jiggling to get the drift.
By all my favorite thing of the series is the opening song. Very nice. Very, very nice.
I find myself looking forward to another season of True Blood and to reading the books that the show is based off, should I ever find them.
I may do a real post later. For now I am just trying to see where things are.. so to speak.
