^it's probably bc you're a chick and the chick stuff appeals to you.
i mean, i like the show. and will continue watching. And I like some of the campiness, but the twisting the head around thing was horrible, and wasn't even a good effect. And the utter stupidity of Sookie going in and being like "i'm a fang-banger, know any vampires" as opposed to playing it cool and just reading their minds for a while turns me off. I hate stupid characters that aren't there for comedic effect. For ex. I like jason and the sheriff. Those characters play their half comedic/half serious roles perfect.
i think they're moving at a snails pace. I know it's still early in the season and things are developing, but it's not exactly a long season. The werewolves suck so far in many regards. And they keep hinting at the "who's your master thing" and that will be the bigger conflict most likely. But they need to stop talking about it and start getting on with it.
They did the same thing with Maryanne last season. It was the same thing week in and week out with no real progression and it really turned me off of that plot-line. And they're already going down that path with these werewolves. "They're dangerous", scene of them not being dangerous. "They're dangerous", scene of them not being dangerous. either stfu about them being dangerous, or make them actually pose a real threat.
And now we have loraina back in the picture, who has never been all that interesting to me and she's still beating the same drum: "i'm your maker, bill. And i want you to love me blah blah blah" crap with no progression. same old shit.
the pacing is killing me. I like certain characters in this show, not all of them. I need it to be plot driven to stay interested. Slow, iterative plot-lines are killing this show for me. The only things i'm really interested in so far this season are this vampire that is snooping around Bill's affairs and to some extent Lafayette's involvement with Eric and where that goes. and the queen. I'd like to see more with her. The king of miss. and his pillow biter husband or whatever he is are old news. They sit around and drink/eat the blood of people: cool, they did that with the queen last season or whenever they introduced her. Same old shit/lazy writing. Get on with whatever the guy is plotting. And speaking of lazy writing, if the deal with tara and this new vampire even closely resembles what happened with her and maryanne... i'll just stop watching altogether. I can just go get a mad-libs if i want to see the same plot over and over with slightly different alterations.
i think they're gonna lose a lot of male viewers if they don't "step on the gas", "turn up the volume" or whatever cliche you want use, soon. It's already a very soap-opery show. It's all the more apparent this season. 6/30/2010 12:17:15 PM |

Ok..so I just watched all the episodes in the last week and I have two thoughts....
1.) Season 1 = FTW, Everything else < FTW
2.) Why do they keep pouring light beer out of that Abita Turbodog tap handle?!?! That's pissing me off! 6/30/2010 2:15:21 PM |

I had the same complaint on the previous page. Here they are showing Bill trying to rape Lorena, but she still wants him (he was hot as fuck?) and is telling him she loves him throughout. So he twists her head around to be dominate, rape and shame her...yet she's still not budging. During this scene they show an aerial camera view and what do we have? Bill's pants still on extremely tight around the waist. Didn't even loosen his belt or show him loosening his belt. Yeah sure, he can bypass the belt and just stick his penis through the zipper hole (although that seems dangerous). But not putting that one moment in there made me laugh b/c it just seemed like he was dry [hate] humping her.
So yeah...dry raping/hate humping. Pretty lame. 6/30/2010 11:24:46 PM |

She's a lot stronger than him. There is no way he could rape her unless she was weakened with silver or something.
Sidenote: What is the deal with Arlene's baby? Obviously we are led to believe that it isn't Terry's, but the doctor said she was like three months pregnant and it kinda feels like Rene died way more than three months ago. 7/1/2010 9:17:31 AM |

^Remember how it was one great big orgy when Maryanne had everyone under her spell? My guess is that's when it happened. It definitely isn't Rene, too much time has passed. 7/1/2010 9:43:05 AM |
duro982 All American 3088 Posts user info edit post |
^how much time has passed since rene was around?
i assumed Rene. She could have gotten knocked up during the Maryanne orgies. But, i thought her and terry were together during that time, weren't they? She doesn't remember anything about the orgies. so if she was with him during that time, no reason to think it wasn't his.

^^i thought it had been awhile, but i guess it just seems that way because we're on season 3 and it really has been more than a year since season 1 ended
reading all the blogs out there, everyone seems to think it's Rene's baby and that it hasn't been very long since everything went down with him. 7/1/2010 9:51:32 AM |

I, too, assumed that it was Rene's baby. 7/1/2010 10:37:49 AM |

I assumed that it was during stupid-maryanne-orgy time so it's super ambiguous who the father is so when it comes out a dragon they can justify it plotwise. 7/1/2010 10:48:56 AM |
elkaybie All American 39626 Posts user info edit post |
Season 1 was ~1 month long + 2 weeks going by after rene was killed and the dead body show up in andy's car Season 2 picks up with dead body. Time b4 plus time in Dallas plus time to defeat Maryann = 2 weeks Season 3 picks up again right where we left off
Baby = rene's
And yes, Lorena is stronger so bill can't actually rape her...but the twisting of the head is meant to symbolize rape. But she loves him, so that's why we're left with bill emo screams at the end of the episode 7/1/2010 11:06:45 AM |

i just watched the first season 3 eps
i dunno how i feel about it yet. i LOVED season 1. was slightly disappointed but minorly intrigued by season 2...got really yawny though. was kinda hoping season 3 would step it back up. the first episode of season 3 really bored me. but the next 2 were at least entertaining. i mean, its not like i'm going to stop watching the show i just don't feel the same addiction i felt during season 1

Lorenna.
And by the way, didn't she order him to fuck him? I didn't think he raped her. I think she told him to fuck him and then he had to so he was pissed off while he was doing it and didn't want to see her face so he did the twisty thing. 7/6/2010 11:30:44 AM |
elkaybie All American 39626 Posts user info edit post |
she released him in a flashback in season 2, so I don't think she can order him to do anything anymore. 7/6/2010 2:56:49 PM |

I know it has been expressed here some, and I've read it on other boards and blogs...but tonight's episode felt very convoluted...too many stories going on
But, it seems, maybe I can hope, that some are coming together so there will be less hopping around
Maybe

I think I am just going to DVR the rest of the season and watch the whole thing at once when its over. 7/12/2010 7:50:13 AM |

Tara and her boyfriend? Don't give a fuck Werewolves? Don't give a fuck Sookie and lumberjack werewolf? Don't give a fuck Lorena and Bill? Didn't give a fuck 2 seasons ago, still don't. Sam's family? Don't give a fuck Jason becoming a cop? Don't give a fuck
The only remotely interesting story element is Eric/Lafayette and the V. And it probably just seems interesting because the rest of the show is complete shit.
Last nights episode was absolutely boring. Nothing happened. They keep showing us vampires feeding on people like its something new or shocking.
Yes, I too don't know why I continue to watch. 7/12/2010 8:49:01 AM |
