"True Blood "
Posted by bystander on 09-14-08 at 08:43 PM
From HBO...

Thanks to a Japanese scientist's invention of synthetic blood, vampires have progressed from legendary monsters to fellow citizens overnight. And while humans have been safely removed from the menu, many remain apprehensive about these creatures "coming out of the coffin." Religious leaders and government officials around the world have chosen their sides, but in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps, the jury is still out.

Local waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), however, knows how it feels to be an outcast. "Cursed" with the ability to listen in on people's thoughts, she's also open-minded about the integration of vampires — particularly when it comes to Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), a handsome 173-year-old living up the road. But as Sookie is drawn into a series of mysteries surrounding Bill's arrival in Bon Temps, that tolerance will be put to the test.

Now that the vampires don't have to hide anymore all is well. Unless you want to make a quick buck draining their blood for sale. Maybe you just want to have some wild Vampire sex....once you go vamp...you're a tramp. I have a feeling that synthetic blood just doesn't quite hit the spot like the real thing.

So far so good after one episode. Any other vampire fans watching?

I don't have HBO, dang it. But this series is based on the Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris. I'll have to buy it on DVD, I guess. Of course like all vampire series it will probably be cancelled (sigh...Moonlight) after the first season.

Yes, I'm still bitter. Dammit.

We are watching, and I love this show so far. I think HBO will keep it around for a bit, as they are able to get a bit more risque than on regular TV, and Vamps are all about the risque. LOL

I'm a vamp fan with no HBO.

Keep us posted; I can't imagine vamps going mainstream. You know the $%#& will hit the fan eventually, and you bystander, will be there to witness it all for us!

I didn't think that I would like this (I'm a bit of a horror movie wuss), but I was very pleasantly surprised, and will keep watching.

It seems that it was a commentary on racism as well (the vamplires, being the minority). I am having a bit of trouble with people acting like vamplires roaming amongst us is completely normal, but I have to suspend reality sometimes too.

Most HBO shows are of this caliber. I recommend giving it a shot. (And the main vampire is yummy!)

How low can Vince go?

Looking forward to tonight.


I'm your general O-pos, BTW.

It seems to be wandering pretty far from the Charlaine Harris books. I'm also not liking some of the casting. The actor playing Eric is NOT what I imagined he'd look like. Of course, that's always going to be a problem.

Just keeps getting better and better.

This show is definitely my favorite thing to watch on TV. Can't get enough of it. Anyone catch last night's episode?

So who did Tara see standing in the road on her way home from Merlotte's?

Who is chasing Sookie around the bar in the dark.

What exactly does a vampire need to do to change someone into a vampire. It's obviously not just feeding on them.

What about all the blood when Jason's girlfriend drove the stake through their captive Vampire's heart. YIKES that was sick!

If you were a shapeshifter...what shape would you shift into?

Is it me or do these episodes seem to fly by way to fast?

How do you find these goofy shows? Ah well, maybe it's on Netflix?

Anyone needing a Bill and Sookie fix? Get down to the quickie mart and grab a six-pack of some O+. I'll make the popcorn.
