True Blood!!??

So how come no one's talking about it?
Personally I'm a little in love with it and a bit obsessed.

It's very funny and very clever and more than a little frightening I feel.

What is it about vampires?

Dh asked me after last night's episode if I'd like to be a vampire. Apart from the fact I would rather be a younger self than I am now so would choose about 25 years ago I said
"It's a no brainer - you get to live forever and sleep all day. What's not to like?!"

i am currently reading a series of teen vamp novels by pc cast. i am such a sucker (geddit)

have a search there is a thread.

Wilts · 22/10/2009 21:13

There are a good few of us True blood fans on here, there is another thread somewhere!

It is brilliant isn't it? I have watched both seasons now and Dh has just ordered me the box set of books

Bleatblurt · 22/10/2009 21:14

I liked the first episode so much I immediately bought the whole of season 1 for my ipod!

southeastastra · 22/10/2009 21:20

vampires are really silly

wintera · 22/10/2009 21:58

Yeah there are loads of True Blood fans on here! It was shown on the FX channel first. There should be a thread somewhere called True blood on FX or something like that.

I have pre-ordered the 1st season on Play. Should be on it's way pretty soon!

kickassmama · 22/10/2009 22:05

I keep forgeting its on!so i've only seen little bits so far,from what i've seen it looks good.Though my only negitive is that the lead vamp bill is not as dishy i like my vamps to be.I much prefer the vampire in moonlight now he can bite my neck ant time

wintera · 23/10/2009 10:52

Yay!!!! Just had an email to say my dvd of the first season is on its way!

wintera · 23/10/2009 10:53

Kickassmama - There is a really sexy vamp called Eric in it. He comes into it a few episodes in. You might like him!!

I like True Blood a lot but the vampires are the worst thing in it. All that adolescent posturing and moody eye-meets. It's the human characters that keep it interesting for me, oh, and the sexy accents of course.

teameric · 23/10/2009 11:14

I love it and have already seen season 2, and Eric is mmmmm (hence my name

NineteenForever · 23/10/2009 11:35

Sorry girls- (bit of an assumption, but...)BUT Bill is BEST! did you see in Episode1/s1 when he said "May I call on you?" Oh,how lovely! (And I'm so tempted to do the southern accent on the phone at work!)

teameric · 23/10/2009 11:44

I used to like Bill, but once you've seen season 2 then it's all about Eric! and yes that southern accent is very sexy!

Wilts · 23/10/2009 11:46

Yep that is exactly it teameric!- I was a real Bill fan before season two, but now it's Eric all the way in this house

JulesJules · 23/10/2009 11:56

Here's the first thread - True Blood on Fx

I am desperate for season 2...

I know, and thanks for that, but [dim technophobe emoticon] I don't want to watch it on the computer, I want to see it on a big screen, in glorious high definition, sitting next to DH and with a big glass of wine

And I quite like having to wait a week for the next episode, the longing for the next installment is part of the enjoyment . Don't mind waiting a week, but not A Year or So, arghh.

teameric · 23/10/2009 12:18

DH's friend put season 2 on dvd for us cos I wouldn't have liked to watch it on the computer either, I was too impatient and couldn't wait a week,and now I will have to wait for season 3 I need my Eric fix!

Tortington · 23/10/2009 15:21

I am really loving this show.

Did you notice in the first couple of ep's there was a newspaper on the table with the headline 'Angelina adopts vampire baby' - lol!!

Can I ask a dumb question though - how do become a vampire, is it a bite or do they have to suck your blood??

wintera · 24/10/2009 10:28

In True blood they drain you for days and days and then the Vampire gives you their blood. I think that is why Sookie and Jason and others who have Vampire blood in it don't become vampires themselves. It's because they haven't been drained beforehand.

Squitten · 24/10/2009 12:49

I'm also watching this on Ch4 - totally loving it! I'm definitely a bit in love with Stephen Moyer (Bill)

It's also very sweet that the leads are engaged in real life - all the sexual tension is legit!

TheMysticMasseuse · 25/10/2009 20:45

i really want to love TB but i am afraid it's a bit too seexxshy for me, all that shagging leaves me a bit uneasy...

i also get a bit scared i know i am pathetic!

i have a funny feeling about Sam, please tell me he isn't what i think he is???/
