It’s not just me, the season premiere of True Blood sucked, right? (Sucked. HahahahaGAG.)
Seriously, I felt like I was watching five different shows and they were all kind of boring. There was:
The tale of Little Orphan Annie Tara;
Tiny violin time as sadly-maligned psychic waitress Sookie mourns her grandma and suffers boyfriend trouble;
Goofy comedy as Jason finds God;
Cracked-out magic realist porn involving Lady Who Never Ages and a shapeshifter (little scarred by that, tbqh - just as I was scarred by the sex in American Gods);
Wacky vampire family melodrama with Bill and Jessica;
Smalltown murder mystery with voodoo overtones;
Disturbing slavery parable.
Okay, so seven different shows. Christ. This show needs some goddamn cohesion.
Also, depressingly, I still really, really ship Sam/Sookie. Ack. I know this will never be fannishly fruitful. It’s basically a really boring ship. But. He loooooves her. He loves her so much - while also shitting all over her for daring to not love him back. Romantic. *___*
Sigh.
I think I need a new ship. Instead of going for the depressing pseudo-conventional ship, I need to do my usual thing of just picking random characters who barely interact and latching onto them as my OTP.
Right. New ship:
SAM/JASON.
Who’s with me?
