This Fucking Sucks

[peppermintyrose]

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 '

Lol, and lol some more. I just laughed so much reading this. And the angry bits were awesome too, you're so good at ranting :D Some highlights would have to be Law and Order: Bon Temps, your encouragement of Crystal to eat Alcide, your the continued (and well founded) belief in the Glamour Squad, and of course the matching threesome coats. Oh, can't forget the picture of Askars with his cute pet chicken he likes to snack on :D

It was totally worth sitting through season 4 for this. Well, this and naked Askars - yes, I do feel bad for being a drooling fangirl :(

:D I'm glad I made you laugh. :D I just hope someone or something eats Alcide, and soon, or I'm going to be just so angry all the time. Alcide on screen was a hair's breadth away anyway for his stupid Book persona. Once I saw that match up, I wanted to kill him.

I spent at least 10 minutes asking Mr. Minty if we could get a chicken on a leash, and why it wasn't cruel to put a chicken on a leash. I would love a chicken on a leash. :D But I can buy a nice threesome coat.

*Strokes fangirl head* Awwww. I'm sure he's going to be screwing someone else next season, and be all naked again.

You usually make me laugh, but this post was just all comedy. I didn't have to use my brain quite as much as usual either, I just giggled all the way through instead :D Awesome :D Yeah, I used to think show Alcide was better than book Alcide, but he's totally screwed that up now.

You could spin it as saving a chicken from one of those nasty little cages, a leash would be much kinder, as long as you promise you'll walk it every day :D

Yay! *happy dance* I will definitely watch at least bits of season 5 then :D Emphasis on the bits :D

[peppermintyrose]

I blame Mr. Minty and his threesome coats. I probably would have had something very dour to say about the scene with the coats, but I just didn't hear it. It's not a vote for investing me in the relationships that I can't be arsed to find out what I missed. :D

Yeah - he's now just like Book Alcide - he proved it. All disapproving and entitled. Jackass.

I'm told it's unkind to take them for a walk, when they're clearly meant to be pecking seed in the yard. It's not the chicken that's the problem, it's the leash. But then, he won't let me have a monkey either. He's just cruel.

He's gotta be naked - it's a rule. They can barely keep him in his pants right now. As story content goes down, naked Askars goes up. This is a win for fangirls - truly. He should be strutting around naked for about 20 minutes an episode.

Yeah, last night I was on a plane with two tired kids and a husband recovering from pneumonia. Possibly that was more entertaining than the final of True Blood, I just...well I think the only way they can redeem it is if next season we just see Bill and Eric on the run, sniping at each other and stopping at small towns to help people while under assumed identities. I mean, it will still be total crap, but at least it won't be trying to be anything other than crappy TV and all the female characters can be totally disposable.

Back to the suitcases. Ugh. Might have been better if they'd just lost them in transit. Plus I'm still on Queensland time and kind of missed some sleep somewhere :)

I would be into that. At least if they're not going to work at all, they could have some excitement that way, instead of passing so close by work and not actually going in to have a look at stuff. They could be awesome vigilantes - like the Hulk, in a totally cheesy way.

And if they're together, they could have some great slash scenes where both of them get naked, and just before their mouths crash into one another's, they could utter "Only for Sookie" or whatever catchphrase they want to give, and the stupid suitor music could swell in the background. Fans would be happy, and Alan wouldn't have to write about all these females and how they couldn't fight their own way out of a wet paper bag.

Poor Ooshka. :(

[anonymous]

Yeah, it would so work, catch-phrases and everything. And every week you could just throw a whole bunch of new characters into the mix and if they want to run around in circles screaming, it doesn't matter because you know Bill and Eric will defeat whatever evil thing is there, plus find out some more about the huge conspiracy involving the AVL and the Council blah blah etc. Oh, and no one will *ever* be suspicious about the two vampires who just turned up in town (unless, of course, they're the plot equivalent of cannon fodder). Because, you know, don't want to attract the attention of the Glamour Squads!

Yeah, it was hard to remember to feed my kids at the correct times today. And being back to daylight savings is throwing me off, although it's nice when it's not light at 5.30am.

Earl would like a chicken on a leash, but a cooked one as he finds feathers a bit tough to deal with. He's obviously been starved while I was away and is feeling the need to stay within two feet of me at all time. It was crowded in bed :)

Lol at the running in circles screaming. The Council and the AVL make me laugh - each different vampire is apparently called a "faction" - which is in character with the book vampires. They're not doing well on the idea of pulling together as a community

This did fucking suck!

[hankco]

This season sucked so much I could only watch each episode if I was belligerently drunk. (honest to god) It got worse with every passing episode none of it made any sense. Thanks to the fact that I can't leave well enough alone I've been reading up on season five and it already sounds like it's gonna be a total mess. I hear instead of adding Quinn into the mix next season they are going to have her hook up with Alcide! Fucking Alcide apparently AB hates the Quinn character so he's going to have them hook up next season. I think I'm done! Shark jumped...

Re: This did fucking suck!

[peppermintyrose]

Lol - and then that would make you even more belligerent. Oh the ranting at your house would have been a sight to behold. :D

It's like poking a sore tooth. Even though you know it's going to hurt, you just can't help but find out how bad it can get. I'm familiar with that - but I'm fine with watching the show because it hasn't been vaguely close to the books since Season 1.

Oh yeah - that makes sense. Let's hate Quinn, and favour Alcide. Quinn is nowhere near the same amount of doucheturd Alcide is.

[anonymous]

LOL, PMR. I'm not sure True Blood is even worth the effort that went into this epic rant, but I enjoyed it nonetheless

[peppermintyrose]

More worthy than The Borgias, which only had Jeremy Irons to save it - and it didn't make the grade.

Oh yes - Pam is the thing that bothered me the most. It frustrated the hell out of me that they just ruined her so thoroughly. I don't know why they think cruel petty women concerned with their looks are "strong" because there's nothing strong about being cruel and petty. It's even worse - Show Sookie can claim she's only 23, but Pam is 100 years plus - what the hell is her excuse for never ever changing? As for strong female characters? Give me a break. I haven't seen one who isn't completely undermined at some stage by being a victim and who isn't defeated by a man.

Lol at Frick and Frack. Yes - I don't see that as 'erotic' so much as 'anaemic'. Not only was it not sexy having her do the pelican with wings outstretched, but they would take too much blood - just the right time for a good old relationship chat. But this is no nevermind to Sookie the bloodbag, with her unending fountain of sunlight giving blood.

[fffbone]

LOL I can't stand Alcide or Quinn. I think I'd rather see Quinn though. And I really can't stand Quinn.

Tara's coming back. She could be a zombie or a vampire. I did notice all these hints at zombies through out the season. Great now she'll bitch and scream about that. I hope she doesn't live at Sookie's in Eric's hidey hole. Tara will never leave if she's a vampire! I would guess it would be Russell to be her maker along with Steve Newlin. LMAO
LaLa should get a room next to his mom. Especially if Tara's gonna be complaining to him.
Even the background music sucked. Except maybe 2 or three songs

[peppermintyrose]

Lol - you hate him less than Alcide. I don't mind him - he's honourable and harmless, for the most part.

I heard - that's most of the spoilers I've been getting. But she could be a ghost like Gran or Jesus. Otherwise why set up the elaborate Lafayette is a medium shit? Now they'll be able to go into Henny Penny loops about how vampires are going to KILL THEM ALL AND CAN'T BE DEFEATED AND WILL NEVER FORGET, until they wind down and the vampires forget. And Lafayette will be able to do it all the time which should be a true joy. Tara will possess him occasionally for inspirational chats to people about how it's been 15 minutes since you killed your love, and we need to move on.

I've never really liked the music. Buffy the Vampire Slayer had the best music ever.

Lol Buffy

[hankco]

I know this is off topic but I love Buffy and had to comment.

If you ask me I think Buffy did everything better. for a show that was geared toward teenagers they did a fantastic job of putting together a cohesive story that lasted seven seasons. I have yet to be confused by Buffy and continue to be entertained beyond belief. this is a vampire show done right.

Re: Lol Buffy

[peppermintyrose]

Oh yes - Buffy is much beloved in the PMR household. It had an overall story arc for a start, and some depth. But one only needs to look at the difference between the movie and the show and see how directors make a difference - because they were both written by Joss Whedon.
