I like the humor on the show and what I have seen is well written so far to a point. I still prefer the old vampire movies though. It seems to me that Hollywood present day just turns everything into a soap opera sooner or later.

I agree there... I`ve seen parts of Dracula and read (not seen) something about Nosferatu... nor THOSE were good vampire....

[Snoogans4Jay]

Well strangely perhaps, I think vampires and their portrayals change with the times just like all things. For instance, Nosferatu scared all hell out of people back then and that is understandable. But then so did Dracula but with a hint of something else added. What was added was the sexy appeal of what was considered sexy at that time. A Foreign accented man (not seen much in 1931 in a leading man), a dashing Count, the erotica that people of that day CRAVED because sexual repression was SO pushed.

Now in our present time, a vampire needs a bit more to be a sexy deviant. These days with porn readily available just the hint of elicit sex does nothing for us. We need to SEE the blood lust, we need that vampire breathing down our throat, we need to SEE him rip someone to shreds and drink the blood to know that he COULD do that to us but chooses instead to just fuck us senseless. We want to see, smell, feel, and taste the danger, not just have a hint of it. Now there IS no sexual oppression to speak of, other that perhaps homosexual/lesbianism and bondage. So that is what you tend to see alluded to or just flat out shown on shows like True Blood, along with the "old fashioned" love of Sookie and Bill (which in itself, in this day and time, is considered daring).

Anyway that is my opinion. We are the same as Nosferatu and Dracula, we have just evolved as we must.

I loved the naked sex dream sequence with Eric and Sookie (about time to see some tongue from the gorgeous Viking) But WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY did they kill off Godric? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY They didn't kill Lafayette and he died in the book so why Godric just because he died in the book? He was such a great character...GODRICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCc come baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack

Goodbye Godric, you were badass

I WILL miss this character. He could have opened a door to theology on this show that was not yet seen in a positive light. I am not sure I will be as open to the show without him.

Well God knows this last episode sucked. I am getting SOOOOOOOOO tired of MaryAnn

[Snoogans4Jay]

HEY MissFangtastic, lets talk the episodes...haha. I LOVE your avatar, Lafayette ROCKS I could have puked when they stuck those damn saucer eyes on him

One thing that struck me with Eric when he was in Mrs. Thornton's outfit and he said "goodbye sweetheart" to Lafayette, THAT is another reason he reminds me of Viggo Mortenson. Viggo said the exact same thing in the same way in the movie Leatherface. And kind of had his hair the same too.

I have seen on the E! channel neews that one of the female characters of True Blood is going "both ways" .. I don`t remember which character but it was said that she would be bysexual or something..

I bet they refer to The Queen of Louisiana, Sophie Ann played by Evan Rachel Woods. She was fangtastic

Here are a few more cast/character photos from True Blood

Lafayette One HOT Bitch ;D


Rene (he is not on this current season but I still love him)


Artist view of the cast per the Sookie Stackhouse books


Godric (Eric's Maker)



I know it seems irreverent but Godric really WAS older than Christ

You GOTTA love those tats.....Godric prepares to "meet the sun/Son"

saying goodbye to his creation


Beautiful and now at peace

Godric

The show lost it's only REAL moral backbone with the death of the vampire Godric. It is a shame that some characters are judged more "vital" than others.

His Maker means that Godric was the vampire that turned Eric into a vampire. Eric is Pam's Maker, in that he is the one that turned her into a vampire. A Maker holds a certain power and commands some loyality from the one they "turn".
