True Blood ~Possible Spoilers~ Careful :D
I'd like to discuss.
Ok so this is mostly about the acting but I was worried about possibly referring to something that would spoil things for some of you if you aren't caught up.
Bill
While I absolutely love looking at him... I'm not really liking his acting. I can't help it. I've thought about it for a while and was giving him the benefit of the doubt but I'm not sure how long I can will him to be better. I'm hoping in the episodes that follow he improves. At first I thought it was his accent... but it's not. Then I thought it was his speech pattern. It just seems off. Fake even. It's not the way he pronounces the words but the rhythm he speaks. No one talks like that. He's not intense enough to say the things he's saying. He's an old, mysterious, intelligent, SEXY, vampire and he comes off like a wet rag sometimes. I know the lines he has are hokey but if he said them with more authority they wouldn't seem so bad. We know he was a good person and can love someone very deeply but it kinda gets lost. Like he just throws lines away. He's a vampire and an interesting one. We should be completely captivated all the time. Scroll up... go on... scroll up and look at that picture.
Check out all that is going on with him in that picture. He looks so intense... and then he opens his mouth and I go... 'humph' I need more... lol Find a way to make it work! It feels like he's just saying the lines until he's sexin or screaming. There are elements of in between Bill. The Bill that does his laundry and folds his socks. Perhaps he's an avid reader in his spare time. We may never see him in an episode but Stephen Moyer needs to know this things. They need to be there underneath so his character doesn't seem so flat. If he were a photograph he'd need more saturation, or brightness/contrast. I desperately want to love his character but not just because he's hot. Which by the way.
:scrolls up:
He is...
Amy
Holy Jesus! Thank god she's dead. I despised this character and kept saying, week after week, 'When will she die!' I really did get happy when I realized the killer was coming to choke the life from her. Kudos to you Lizzy Caplan for playing such a great crazy bitch!
I just found out that Carrie Preston (she plays Arlene Fowler) is married to Michael Emerson (who plays Ben [my favorite!!] on LOST). I got waaaay to excited about that.
Jessica
[Can't find a picture]
Wow! The 1st episode she was in she was wonderful. Truly pleading for her life. Loved her... and now that she's a vamp I'm totally excited. She went through so much in waking up and realizing she was a vampire. There were so many wonderful levels to her performance (smelling the tree, thinking of her family, forgetting about her family, cursing! For christ sake that was brilliant. I totally believed every moment of it and I could still follow her. Everything was so clearly defined and ... masterful. That was not easy but she made it seem like it was.) She's a wonderful Actress... WHAT IS HER NAME lol When she told Bill crying, "You suck" and then went immediately to laughing "It's funny cause you do suck" it was seamless. What an amazing job. Stephen should take some tips from her... I want him to do well soooo bad! lol Look out every other woman on this show. 'Jessica' might steal the limelight!
What do you think?
