Channel 4 on Friday

Sometimes when I look back over what I have typed, I wonder if I was even looking at the at all

Wilts · 03/10/2009 13:46

Arrrgghhhh

looking at the screen at all

Bigmouthstrikesagain · 03/10/2009 14:17

Wilts I knew what you meant thank you for answering.

TheMysticMasseuse · 04/10/2009 13:41

now sorry for butting in, but i have a question for you TB aficionados- is it the sort of thing that'll give me nightmares? i really, really want to watch it but dh away all weeknights for 3 months and i don't want to end up not being able to sleep

thanks

Wilts · 04/10/2009 13:46

Hmm It is quite violent and gory but not nightmare inducing in my opinion.

I am not normally into this sort of thing at all and Dh is very surprised I am watching it.
( can't watch torture scenes in the Tudors for example )

I think what does it for me is that there is a lot of humour in it as well.

I just wanted to point out that True Blood starts on channel 4 on Wednesday and not Friday! Don't want anyone to miss it!

I was hoping they were going to show season 2 straight after as it is already showing in America, but no sign of it, so we have downloaded it.

I am so impatient we started watching season 2 on Friday straight after the final episode .

I don't know how I am going to manage waiting for season 3 , Trueblood has become the highlight of my week

wintera · 04/10/2009 17:50

I have just pre-ordered the dvd of season 1 on Play, but it doesn't bloody come out till the 26th October!

Where can I watch season 2 online then Wilts? Any recommendations?

Have any of you also read the books? I am reading the first one at the moment and I am whizzing through it! It's really very good. Just ordered the second book now!

Bigmouthstrikesagain · 04/10/2009 18:50

I have become a TB fan in the last fortnight after a marathon session watching s1+2 now I am eagerly anticipating s3... Not very patiently.

I have asked dh to get me the books for Xmas.

Will probably watch it again on c4 on Mondays Fridays Wednesdays (thank you) anyway just for the craic.

Wilts · 04/10/2009 19:24

Wintera- We downloaded season 2 from mini nova. I have no idea about these things, Dh has does it all but it didn't take too long to get the whole season.

I might ask for the books for xmas,I can't justify the cost myself. I did try to get them from the library but they would have been all out of sequence.

Bigmouth- am that you have got through season 2 already.

wintera · 04/10/2009 19:48

I have read on the net that there is going to be quite a long wait until season 3 starts in the US. They are having a long break between seasons for some reason so I might not rush watching season 2 now. Otherwise I will watch all of season 2 and will be mega pissed off at having to wait ages for season 3! Apparently it's not due to air in the US until June 2010!

I might just read the books instead to keep me going!

Thanks for the tip though Wilts! If I cave in and watch season 2 at least I will know where to look for it!

finally watched last epidsode - awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww the things men do for love!!

had no idea who was the killer - didnt expect it to be who it was (without giving game away)

so when does series 2 come onto fx?

im having redrawel symptoms already

Wilts · 06/10/2009 11:34

On the digital spy forums they are saying the Fx have the rights to season 2, so can show it as soon as Channel 4 finish season 1. However, they seem to think it will be dragged out and shown in July .

Season 3 will already be showing on HBO by then, so I will have to download it, I love it and can't possibly wait

Wilts · 06/10/2009 11:49

Ohhh Alexander Skarsgard is in the Lady Gaga video papraazzi!

I am liking Eric more and more

wintera · 06/10/2009 20:17

Wilts - So it is! Hadn't realised until I read your post. I must have seen that video about 20 times recently too!

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/10/2009 13:22

JULY? [SAD]

THATS months AWAY

TheFoosa · 08/10/2009 09:38

can someone tell me if it is safe & legal to download tv programmes from the net?

I really want to watch the next episode

serenity · 08/10/2009 09:44

It can be safe if you download from a reputable source and have a decent virus checker (I've never had a problem) but no, it's not legal (copyright issues)

Itunes gets episodes of programmes, True Blood's been out long enough in the US that they might have it on there.

serenity · 08/10/2009 09:50

They definitely got S1, and apparently were putting S2 on when it finished airing (which was a couple of weeks ago) I can't check though, as it won't let me into the Store without downloading Itunes first.

TheFoosa · 08/10/2009 09:54

sorry another stoopid question

can you download from itunes onto a pc, don't have an ipod

vampyrekisses · 08/10/2009 10:16

is this the thing that was on ch4 last nite that i kept thinking omg this is crap...but yet couldnt bring myself to switch off?

serenity · 08/10/2009 11:06

I think so. You just have to download the ITunes programme onto your PC.

The books are fab btw. I read them before I saw the show. The storyline isn't quite the same but this is one of the first times I haven't been cross over it. Books are good, show is good, both in different ways.

I'm quite excited by S3, can't wait

Blondeshavemorefun · 08/10/2009 14:52

crap?

WASH your mouth out

true blood is FANTASTIC
