True Blood Season 3...

...starts tonight. In it's honor, we are grilling a lot of red meat and having a premiere party for a select group of our Pagan friends who don't mind feeling sleazy in the name of amusement. Who else is watching?

not me--the extreme deviation from the books' plot pisses me off too much

I am reading the complete series. I am hooked. I have finished four.

Yesterday I went on Fancast and watched an episode. The images I have in my sweet little imagination far surpass what they have done for the story tv wise.
I don't know if I will watch another one.

I am sure I would have liked it better if I had never read the books.

Ok...im sooooo all over Alcide...I want to climb all over that!! and the things Id do to that boy.....::drroooolll::

Im over Eric after this weeks episode, but once that visual fades from my memory, I am sure I can bring myself to lust over him again

I'm thinking that Franklin's alive. He didn't turn to goo; only his brains had to be cleaned off his bed. And Tara's still dreaming about him.

I don't get the whole vampire-soap opera connection.

I mean, I got Dark Shadows, drool over Barnabas Collins to this day, but the Paranormal Romance genre leaves me cold.

I was right... briefly.

Absolutely loving this season!

Though I find the werewolves a tad underwhelming.

The vampire politics = awesome.


Eric...wow.

You were HM, I was like omg hes back, wtf he's gone!

I'm with wolf - I tried. I watched a bunch of it, but .... so far meh.

Okay, wait. Any gay characters?
That might interest me enough to watch it.
Otherwise, nah.

Ooh! Dana - catch Sherlock at all?
Co-created and starring the lovely Mark Gatiss. And Benedict Cumberbatch is worthy of being an RTD hero (rumours he was up for the Doctor at one point).
Mum, Maureen and I had a conversation about Sherlock over Sunday dinner last week. They couldn't belive I'd rather go to lunch with Mycroft than Sherlock. I pointed out we all had about the same chance... Then I was told off for being dirty ;) Like they just wanted to comb his hair or something...

Vampirism seems to increase bisexuality in the True Blood universe - the vamps like blood from anyone, and sharing blood seems to create a sexual connection if the human survives. Other than the vampires, one of the main characters is a gay human.

Woohooo!

Man I'd lick Eric all over and back again.

Sundae - you'd love Lafayette!!
DanaC • Aug 19, 2010 6:41 am
Hell yeah. Lafayette rocks.



Sundae, you'll love True Blood. It has major camp factor. Doesn't take itself too seriously. Lafayette is the coolest gay man evah! There's a whole lot of sexual tension going on in just the way it should when vampires are around: very non gender specific, they seem a little like Jack in that respect. Even though it doesn't take itself too seriously, it doesn't pull its punches and never stops reaching for something. Very classy show.

And the love story at the centre of it is beautifully done (never without a solid stripe of darkly camp humour though)

Every so often it gets a trifle weird, in a good way. The League would be comfortable with some of it.

Got the first series secondhand (eBay).
Loved it to bits.
Will have to wait for the second series to come down in price (£22.00? used?!)

Funnily enough, Lafayette was not my favourite character.
Tara was.
I recognised her rage and her dysfunctional relationship with her Mother.
And after all, this isn't Wet Palms, or even Queer as Folk - no man-on-man to drool over.

Thanks for the recommendation though - I'm hooked through the cheek!

There's some man-on-man to drool over in season 3 :P
