Has anyone here seen this newish gem? Its first season concluded in the summer and is going to start a second season in June. The spfx are amazing for a television show. The cast is very interesting as well, and it puts a new spin on the supernatural world. I am excited to see what the next season will bring to the table... :twirl:
I saw the first episode during a free preview, it looked kind of interesting. Liked the babes :teddyr: Kind of been debating about picking it up on DVD.
Ooh is it on dvd? I was trying to find it on dvd the other day but cannot seem to find it. Ah, maybe I am just not looking hard enough.
I guess the first season is being released a week from today. Amazon has a $20 discount for pre-orders :teddyr:

I watched the pilot and thought it was kind of mediocre. I was going to watch more of it, but then it was no longer available on On Demand. :thumbdown:
I thought it had potential though, which was why I wanted to watch more. Probably my biggest complaint is it has that modern HBO/Showtime use of sex, where they oversaturate the show with it basically because they can. Deadwood and Californication use it the same way.
I watched the whole first season and I'm looking forward tot he second. I liked it a lot and thought it was a cool idea: that vampires are living, more or less, openly among us. It got a little kooky, imho, when one character turned up to be a lycanthrope and the young African-American girl is tiresome. That said Sookie is very pretty and a couple of the other vampires are smoking hot.
This is a great piece of music, some of the images are not safe for work

I absolutely agree! That particular song is one that will win you over one way the other...fighting it is pointless. I even have the song on my ipod=nerd. :teddyr:
i'm willing to dig up this thread for the mere fact that i'm completely obsessed with this show. The acting is very cheesy but damn - you have vampires, sex, meneads, and rednecks. IT seriously doesn't get better
I think i fell in love with the show when i saw the leading lady get sprayed with about 40 gallons of vampire blood in a staking scene
I subscribe to the HBO newsletter and was waiting for the right time to post about this...
They actually have a new drink, Tru:Blood, that's based on the show.

I know, i've been waiting on that drink but i heard you can only order on the internet, I was hoping they would hit stores. It would be cool to just have the bottle, i have no real desire to drink it otherwise as it's just an orange soda..LOL
woulda been great tho if a guy could have bought me a drink somewhere and asked what i was having and i could say "true blood"
sigh

i love this show so much i want to make babies with it..lol
Just got finished watching the 2nd season finale... blast these cliffhangers :hatred:
I prefer the 1st season storyline to this one even though they fleshed out the world some more the show exists in. Still I'll take it over Twilight any day. A good blend of humor and horror.

Me either, you're not alone!
This show will get your attention in any way it can!! Now that you have been warned, the actual drink is in Hot Topic stores in several locations...i saw some just a lil while ago and was ecstatic :bouncegiggle:
Is this the show that Anna Paquin gets all kinds of naked on it?
