eh, i couldn't hang w/all the idiotic gratuitous sex. maybe that's because i didn't dig anyone who was having it, but still. i really can't think of one charcter that didn't annoy me pantsless ...and the "story" oh , man, i just wanted to hit myself in the face the whole time i was watching it. where does it get good? maybe i can just start there.
I still fast forward whenever Sookie/Bill do romantic things, because it's boring and long.
I'd say episode 9 or 10 is where things really pick up. I enjoyed the previous ones, but it's where a lot of the gratuitous sex dies down and more important plot things occur. I guess watch from there to the finale at episode 12 and see if it's enjoyable? I've been liking season 2 more than season 1.
I like a lot of the side main characters, though, which helps a lot. Lafayette is hilarious and awesome, Tara is sassy (though she has been getting dumb lately), Sam is interesting, Andy the detective has developed into an excellent character, along with Hoyt (the really tall guy with the controlling mother).
LOL. Sometimes I forget how wildly different our tastes can be, despite the occaisionally brain sharing thing. Oh yes, gratuitious sex, how terrible. Hee.
I do agree that the first, probably 3 episodes are a little more meh. I think I probably got into it more around 5-6? I mean, the last 4 episodes of season 1 and then almost all of season 2 are better, but if the absolute soapy craziness of it doesn't work for you, it doesn't, you know? I mean, I stuck with it despite the first 3 eps, so it may just not be for you. But whatever you do, stay AWAY from those books. You think the plot of the show is ridiculous? Oy. Imagine that x 2 PLUS the worst writitng ever. yikes.
i like my gratuitous sex! but only when the people are hot or it serves the story (which i guess makes it not gratuitous...). I just don't like... y'know... find any of these people attractive... that one dude aside. i didn't know whether it was worth slogging through everything just for the one dude...but he was really really really good in Generation Kill, so...
i have reached my elipses quota for the day!
i will put it in the queue. maybe by this time next year i'll be all caught up :) there's a lot of stuff in the queue!
Eeee. See? Brains. Eric Northman is the character you're talking about. <3 that actor, who is the son of another actor whom I think he looks little like, and was like.. Sweden's sexiest man for 7 years or some craziness, and is like, actually taller than me, and plays Eric so, so well. He is my favorite thing about the show. Him and Pam. And him when he's giving Bill shit. And later, there's a new vampire, and Hoyt (main girl's brother's giant friend) gets a story.. ok. I will find when Eric starts showing up more. And I will tell you. And you will watch. And hopefully you'll like it?
I can't promise that anyone you like will be showing ass any time soon. Eric's not naked until mid season 2 (but ooooof). The bartender is naked. Anna Paquin and Vampire Bill do it a LOT which.. I don't know. They don't do it for me because he's hotter in real life and looks weird all pale, and I've been watching her in things since The Piano, so it feels weird to have her doing sex scenes, but.. there's other awesome stuff.
also, THE BOOKS WERE SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH BETTER! so much better. i actually re-read them recently and i still love them :) sure, the first book is a little mary sue YA for a while, but then it gets awesome and just stays awesome. LOVE IT. *shakes fist at VD series* why they gotta screw with everything in ways that make no sense?
And WHAT? You think True Blood is crap? I am.. so confused. And.. I totally dig on both that and VD, so it's possible to like both.
Buah.. really? I think you needed to stick with it a little longer, but hey, to each their own.
