trueblood
what the fuck is this horse-shit? ( should horse-shit be hyphenated?)
i mean, i understand the whole anne rice, laurell k. hamilton and that twilight chick craze going on right now but seriously, it has now been taken too far.
based on the popular vampire/romance novel series following one sookie stackhouse (a telepath who dates a vampire.) set in present-day new orleans - which, by the way, is full of vampires - vampires have "come out of the coffin" as one article put it and live (kind of) amoung the living. the show takes its name from a bottled beverage company which distributes actual human blood in a variety of blood types. i've only seen most of two episodes but this series has to be targetting the female high school demographic. frankly, i'm quite disappointed in the showtime network for stooping to this level to attain new viewers. (but hey, everyone's got to make a buck, eh?) showtime has some great hit shows out there; personally, i watch 'weeds', 'dexter', 'the l word' and would like to try out ' californication'. but this is more it's more soap opera than supernatural action. the plot is loaded with topless girls enjoying orgies and drunken dance parties but only as a backdrop to the actual storyline. it's as if the writers knew how deplorable the show would turn out so they loaded the scenery with an excess of supporting actress tits. it's like their way of telling their viewers boyfriends "we know this story sucks and the acting is horrible but at least we threw in some nudity for you."
as far as the actual plot line goes, i have no idea what's going on because the two episodes i've seen we're not order. their is however, a dedicated group of ultra-devout christian zealots determined to kill all vampires. this part is reminiscent of 'dark angel' and the super-secret pure-blood cult that tried to kill genetically-enhanced persons.
i think i may use the hyphen superfluously. i hope it's not too annoying to read.

Apparently Anne Rice is a born again Christian, and I quote "I came back to jesus", after being raised by strict catholics and running away to California where she became an atheist and began working on her vampire novels, featuring always the tortured soul of the damned. Now she only writes Christian fiction. Random bit of info I picked up. Seemed relevant. I agree with you about this show.
that's so freakin' weird. i wouldn't have expected that to happen.
