my wife is obsessed with this show now, and the books

5/17/2010 11:01:23 AM

women love the soaps.

5/17/2010 11:03:52 AM

OK so here's the deal - last week our PS3 crapped out on us, but only the Blu-Ray part of it. Regular DVDs play fine.

Go figure - my True Blood S1 (and soon-to-be-shipped S2) are in Blu-Ray format.

Does anyone want to loan me S1 on DVD? And if you plan to buy S2 when it comes out next week, can I borrow that as well (when you're done with it?)

I had intended to rewatch the series before S3 starts in a month but now I can't. Unless I buy a Blu-Ray player. Ugh.

5/17/2010 11:05:12 AM

you just need the laser repaired probably, dont know how much it would cost but its worth looking into...

5/17/2010 11:13:42 AM

this is true, but unfortunately Sony says to allow 5 weeks once you ship it off to them. i don't have 5 weeks

i can always get them from Blockbuster I suppose. but i'd rather not spend the cash if someone has them to borrow.

5/17/2010 11:15:14 AM

just torrent it - also, if your husband is watching true blood - you need to take his man card away

5/17/2010 11:28:35 AM

lol.
1)There are tits.
2)Your wife doesn't mind you watching tits with her.
3)She enjoys quality time spent watching tits with her and becomes more likely to show you hers.

Yep, man card should be revoked for watching this with your wife.

5/17/2010 11:33:28 AM

Wait so its not cool now for guys to watch True Blood?

5/17/2010 11:36:11 AM

heck, i watch true blood...i love anna paquin (boobies!) and ALMOST anything that has vampires and/or werewolves...HBO usually puts out quality shows and true blood is no exception

i draw the line at that new moon bs (or whatever it's called)...you couldn't pay me to watch that crap

5/17/2010 11:36:18 AM

for the record, he really enjoyed S1 but his interest waned during S2 - to the point that he pretty much has no desire to watch S3 with me. but he'll watch it with me anyways.

it's actually quite laughable that you think watching this show makes a man less of a man. i think the fact that he inserts his penis into a vagina with any sort of regularity pretty much guarantees the existence of his man card for an indefinite time.

5/17/2010 11:50:29 AM

That is not how the man card system works.

5/17/2010 11:57:14 AM

I prefer the "I get to see other women's tits and keep my wife happy at the same time" card. It has a much better bonus plan than the man card.

Plus it can get pretty violent and gory at times. The show I mean.

5/17/2010 11:59:14 AM

haha

"watching True Blood with the wife" is more accurately described in my house as "True Blood is on the TV, wife is thoroughly engrossed in True Blood, and husband browses TWW on his laptop - pausing occasionally to watch the naked boobies"

5/17/2010 12:03:38 PM

i ripped up my man card. WHY? because i don't need no stinking man card, i can do what i want when i want to whoever i want. also i needed room for my dental insurance card.

All of season 1 and 2 are on demand btw...

5/18/2010 11:14:56 AM

no shit, really?

i had no idea. now i don't need to worry about not having a blu-ray player

TY TY TY

5/18/2010 11:35:24 AM

Blu-ray quality >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> OnDemand quality

I indeed can read.

I was just saying its still worth getting your blu-ray fixed. on demand isnt a replacment for quality bluray.

5/18/2010 1:22:28 PM

aah, well of course. there's no question about that - we own too much Blu-Ray to just ignore it. plus, the games that my husband plays work just fine until it's time to load data, then those games crap out as well. we just don't like the idea of committing to 5 weeks without the PS3.

my guess is that we'll buy a new PS3, and send this one off to get fixed. if it comes back good as new, we'll just put it upstairs in the bedroom.

5/18/2010 1:24:46 PM

Yeah... the quality's not the same, but for someone who's omgwtfs (^) I thought she'd like to know that

5/18/2010 2:37:36 PM

Hi thumper - I have another idea - you bring sets to my house and watch on my PS3 w/ me! yay! haha

5/30/2010 8:12:41 PM

so someone defend this show for me because i'm 5 episodes through season 1 and it's starting to lose me. The Bill/Sookie story even though it's the centerpiece isn't really interesting me at all. i need to know why this show is worth it and if season 2 is any better.

6/2/2010 10:27:50 AM

red necks + vampires

yeah, that's probably about it

6/2/2010 11:34:05 AM

seriously guys? you just trying to get your post count up or something? cuz i'm pretty sure none of us TB fans are gonna stop watching just cuz some anonymous internet people told us it wasn't cool to like the show. just sayin.

6/2/2010 11:35:36 AM

^Hey someone on the internet said that it isn't cool so I have to stop watching. I want to watch but he said it wasn't cool

6/2/2010 11:37:28 AM

Lucky for us, TB will go on without you.

6/2/2010 11:38:30 AM

nobody said you had to stop watching but you cared enough to ask


I watch stuff that isn't cool all the time

6/3/2010 10:51:32 PM

moonlight was on syfy yesterday...i watched that

i ♥ vampire and werewolf flicks and, for the most part, it doesn't matter how bad they are...true blood is far from "bad"

6/4/2010 7:53:31 AM

it was on the CW too. they are airing it all summer long thursdays at 9.

6/4/2010 8:04:27 AM

i love this show, but ^^^ugh! that shows you how much hollywood can pack on the make up

6/4/2010 10:17:07 AM

got more into season 1. i'm going to stick it out. especially with the introduction of Lizzy Caplan



^anna paquin doesn't do it for me, but she doesn't really distract me either.

6/4/2010 10:20:47 AM

her teeth remind me of a jack-o-lantern and i've never thought she was good at acting....but her boobs remind me of summer camp

6/4/2010 10:22:25 AM

mmm


an anna paquin jackOlantern sounds like a great idea next october

6/4/2010 10:25:15 AM

^I worry about you being able to stick it out through Season 2...if you make it through, I'll be impressed, but I really think you're gonna get bored/annoyed with a storyline that pissed many TB S1 lovers off.

6/5/2010 12:17:51 AM

yeah, i think you may have a tough time enjoying S2 if S1 took a while for you to warm up to.

6/5/2010 4:34:16 PM

i think my favorite storylines from S1 thus far are the ones with Jason and Tara. With Sookie/Bill still in third. I just finished the episode where Eric came to collect Bill for the tribunal. Alexander Skarsgard looks so weird with the long hair.

6/7/2010 11:20:59 AM

Damn this show is addictive. I was stuck at home this past weekend after wisdom teeth surgery and me and my "nurse" decided to watch one of the episodes on demand for fun. We then proceeded to watch for like 15 hours straight

6/9/2010 9:16:32 PM

am i the only one that's annoyed by the female fans of this show?

6/9/2010 9:50:52 PM

^no, you are not

6/9/2010 11:00:35 PM

name a show that has female fans that aren't annoying

6/10/2010 10:55:48 AM

6/10/2010 11:17:27 AM

I liked the LOD storyline in S2 batter than the Maryanne story line.

6/10/2010 1:02:50 PM

the maryanne storyline was one that should have lasted half the season but they stretched it out way too long to go the entire time.

6/10/2010 1:06:50 PM

I know. I like the Dallas vamps and Godric. I wish they stuck more with that.
