Amen sister. Did it ever. I watched the finale of True Blood, Season Four - it rivalled The Borgias for pointless romance storylines to dumb it down for the deeply stupid people who watch television. I don't know who Alan Ball thinks are the supposed "smart people" for whom this is popcorn. Possibly Frito the lawyer on Idiocracy, when he's not '

I think ABalls watched too much Dukes of Hazzard as a small boy. I can just see him telling the writers 'can't we put Sookie in s'more hot-pants' and 'make sure the boys get all the action/lines and hot cars!'.
His other rule of thumb seems to be 'what would be really good for the plot is..... get the cast nekkid!'. Saves a fortune on the pesky wardrobe department as they don't have to spend hours rubbing Hotshot undies into the dirt or shopping for ugly arse grandad coats:D [That was the bit where my bladder gave way due to the aforementioned aching ribs!]
Alcide does deserve a special mention - so does Debbie for putting up with him. Good job he has little dialogue because all he's good for is pulling his pants down and flashing his freaky six/eight pack, or whatever it is. Mr E thankfully has more of a Party Seven ;) I would call his acting wooden - but then that's offensive to puppets.
I wish one of those 1253 Glamour Squad vamps would pop round to my house & erase the memory of S4.
Don't know how I will survive the wait for S5 - maybe I'll try regenerating the brain cells I lost watching S4:D

Sookie wasn't in enough hot pants this season, let's face it. If I had to marvel at her arse hanging outta her pants, then I would have something else to write about. If she's not going to say anything of note, put her in different costumes every single week. "This week, Sookie dresses up as Carmen Miranda and shakes her maracas in the background while we marvel at the awesome that is naked menz".
I don't mind the nudity, probably because I've been watching foreign films. But it does seem like the guys are fashion plate Chippendale dancers ready to strip off in a heartbeat. I can't say I thought it was vaguely hot that Askars, with his sockless junk was rubbing up against Moyer's wife, while Moyer watched. I think this accounts for the bizarre position in those scenes - because it would be difficult getting a stiffy rubbing up against the wife of your good friend.
I would be fine if Alcide was reduced to a series of grunts. It might help me like him more. But I do think that Crystal could totally get wicked ab powers if she ate him, and nourished those baby panthers with "I am a total puss out".
The Glamour Squad would come around, but they're going nuts right now in Louisiana. Season 5 should be sure to get me nice and angry because I hate Alcide so damn much. He won't be able to put a toe out of line. I'll call him on it! I will!

Next season I'm thinking a musical episode where Sookie can wear her Carmen Miranda outfit would be good. I can see Eric 'n Bill as Hope & Crosby and the epi could be called 'Road to Bon Temps'. *Shakes maracas*
They could throw in Thriller as a big finale piece where all the cast can join in. Sookie could scream her head off before flashing her boobs at them & then microwave a few zombies with her hands. Maybe Chippendale Alcide will get fried in the cross-fire when he puts a toe/paw out of line?
Perversely, I'm hoping he's even more of an arse next season so we get more raging posts from you;)

It could end up being like Twin Peaks - senseless scene upon senseless scene, and all because Alan Ball likes abs, or he saw some other show this week where the trend is smouldering looks and Shakespeare.
Oooh - I like this idea of being caught in the crossfire. Alcide should just get a blast when he opens his mouth. Or looks at her.
Lol - you are cruel. :D
