5 minutes ago just finished watching Season One and it is SO GOODI'm renting the Dvd's courtesy of Family video since we don't buy cable. They don't know when Season Two will be available but I'll wait! Excellent Series. I'm so enjoying the character development and will continue to peak in on the episodes via this thread from time to time, since spoilers don't impact me one way or the other. I"m loving bill, terry, lafayette and sam. Great SeriesIt's so much better than Twilight

The marathon of the last 3 episodes starts on Sunday night at 9:00, so at least it's not total withdrawal for us.

 

[swandiverpatt]

The last three episodes?

Watch 9:00
Maybe watch 10:00
Probably not watch 11:00

The Godric episode was one of the best TV shows I have ever seen (acting and writing) ... the past two .. not so much. Wonder if they could just keep those writers.

Ok... I got a chance to watch the episode from Sunday last night finally.. I thought it was excellent. I know I'm the only one (well Entertainment Weekly has been loving this season too) but I just think the show is really excellent this season. I know I'm the only one but I'm just putting it out there.. just my opinion : I like the Maryann storyline still.. as long as they don't drag it out any longer then this season (which I really don't think they would)... I like the actress who plays Maryann.. she's excellent.. I was on the edge of my seat the whole one.. thought this one was more interesting then last weeks.

It was scary, funny, and touching.. I just love it! I said it before but it really does remind me of Buffy for HBO and its totally excellent. I plan on watching the episode at least once more before going through the last 3 again. I can't get enough!

So I just wanna put it out there (I feel like I'm setting myself up for an epic fail) but does anyone else really love this season? Like the Maryann storyline? Or am I just totally crazy?

Heres the review from Entertainment Weekly.. I don't always agree with them (they hate the Closer and Psych which I think is just crazy!) but I do here:

I really like this season too. I like it better than the first season. I am loving Jason, Detective Bellefleur and Eric this season.

I do like this season much better than last season--that whole V subplot last season really irritated me. I'm not crazy about the Mary Ann storyling but it doesn't annoy me the way the V/Amy/Jason thing did.

Amy, you SO have to stop by for a drink whenever you're in PA. We always seem to think alike. I agree with this completely.

I actually liked the queen. She's spicy! She was like a manipulative teenager making Bill stay around and withholding info about the maenad. I have a feeling we're going to move in the direction of the books in relation to Sookie's ties with Bill and Eric. Having cousin Hadley show up leads me to believe that things will be much different in Season 3.

Was Hadley the girl who was Sophie's playmate? We couldn't figure out how Bill seemed to know she was Sookie's cousin.

Unless I missed it, I did notice that the Queen never introduced or explained who Hadley was to Bill. But before he left she asked about Sookie and it was as if he already knew she was Sookie's cousin. So could there be some truth that Bill was purposly sent to connect with Sookie? Just curious what other's thoughts are on this.

Never mind I think this answeres me.

Although I do think the Maryann storyline is dominating too much of the season, I do like this season very much. There's a lot of good acting going on, as the characters who are under Maryann's spell are getting a chance to stretch their acting chops as they draw out different personalities. I've seen John Billingsley (the ME) in a number of shows now (Star Trek: Enterprise, Nine) and I am really getting to like him. Of course Michelle Forbes is another graduate of the Start Trek enterprise and I loved her character on ST:TNG. The Jason/Andy storyline is getting good. It's fun to watch two characters you thought were good for nothings, all of a sudden become two characters that are fun to watch. That whole bit with Jason wondering about things Bill could do when he is in animal mode was hysterical. ("He's not human, so it really isn't beastiality" )

 

[dizluvah]

I was so disappointed with the last episode...I DVRd it and didnt' watch it until Monday night....If they don't wrap up this ridiculous Maryanne storyline in the next episode or two, I can't watch anymore.


I am afraid my favorite show has jumped the shark.....

Actually, Hadley introduced herself as Sookie's cousin and asked about Gran. I remember that because I'd just looked at my husband and said, "That's Sookie's cousin" and Hadley immediately said something to the effect "I'm Sookie's cousin" and we both started laughing.

Michelle Forbes was also from my favorite show Homicide: Life on the Streets. I didn't watch her in Star Trek though.

I agree about Jason! I like what they're doing with his character on the show, more so then in the books. He has some of the funniest lines... when he was talking about Sam being a chicken and laying an egg and then eating it after he changed back.

I didn't really see it as an introduction. SHe asks Bill, "how's my cousin Sookie?" ...not so much an introduction as a question to someone who already knows your situation, as least the way I see it. It would definitely fall in line with the whole the Queen sent Bill after Sookie thing. Also did anyone else pick up on the Queen specifically mentioning Weres? Sorry if anyone else brought this up already. Looks like that could be a little hint that Alicde and the pack will definitely be brought in next season..I hope so anyway...even though I didn't like Alcide with Sookie, I really liked the whole were storylines in the books.

I'm one who thinks some people have given great performances this year. Others not so much. I really like Alex Skaarsgard this year, and Ryan (Jason) this year too. Hoyt and Jessica are really good this year too acting wise.
I think Anna Paquin has been really off this season and I haven't felt like Stephen Moyer has really put in a decent performance either. I think the writing has been off quite a bit this year too. The directing has been amazing on all the episodes, though. I have to admit that I haven't liked this season as much overall and it is purely because the maryann/tara/eggs storyline has taken up so much time. I just haven't liked how long they've drawn it out at all. I think I could have dealt with it for 2-3 episodes, but this is just ridiculous.

 

[Tigger2252]

OMG!!! Nobody mentioned Eric and Pam's banter about the children! It was HILARIOUS!!!!

"TEACUP HUMANS"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I was cracking up!

I thought this was hilarious too! I loved it when she made the comment about how long it would take to get the smell of the kids out of the room and Eric chuckled. I was lmao.

 

[RUDisney]

I've almost got my kids convinced that they should go as Sookie and Jason for Halloween. There are some inexpensive t-shirts on ebay. One is the Merlotte's bar tshirt and the other is the Bon Temps Football shirt that Jason wears. I figure it's easy for middle school since the principal encourages dressing up and some of the teachers will get a kick out of a brother and sister going as a brother and sister. I may have to get Kristina a blond wig, though, to really drive home the part. Maybe she could go as a brunette Sookie who is incognito after the True Blood season.

OMG! How could I forget that? Also one of my favorite shows. I have the first two seasons on DVD and can't wait 'til Andre Braugher's new show, where he actually does comedy for a change.

 

[NMAmy]

I will definitely let you know if I make it over that way. And ditto to you if you are ever in Michigan, pal!

He has a new show? I'm going to have to check that out

Looking forward to the next season already!

I'm looking forward to the next book already. At least it'll come out before the next season.
