True Blood

[neoadorable]

ooh Lizzy Caplan naked...nice.

Nice clip Rappy, yeah Skarsgard's pretty funny - has a killer deadpan.

I agree the show has too much sex and fluff, this is a trademark of HBO shows - not in the mature content sense, i mean they always add sex and violence to shows to attract a wider audience. Both the Sopranos and True Blood are at their core dramadies, maybe even straight up comedies, but people think of them as "serious" because of the sex and violence.

Only HBO could call a show Hung as well....can't see that being on NBC :p

[Pretend]

Ahh hung, not convinced on that show yet :| and yeah lots of sex in that already, and seeing what the whole point of the show I think it will always have sex scenes.

Thomas Jane is a cool actor but his voice depresses me in that show and the cast is a bit meh

[Pretend]

Yeah, it's got 1 more episode to impress me :D Though I only got into Nurse Jackie at episode 5 :\

Sex is a very important element in the books, as well, so it's not all HBO. :p

Any ideas on what Daphne is? I'm thinking a werewolf, or werepanther. (Hot Shot reference, yet?) I can't recall her in the books, and while she's exhibiting a few characteristics of different characters in the books (one in particular), her existence this early on doesn't make any sense for those characters.

That song at the end of the 4th episode... Supposedly called "Dig", by Headbone... anyone know where to get it? I've looked everywhere!

So, you didn't check youtube? :s

Edit: Apparently it isn't out yet, but will be soon.

She's certainly something to do with Maryann, and she knows what Sam is as well so it's got to be similar and you can't have vamps without werewolves :p

@mck I want the jesus loves you song :p

[Pretend]

Aha, I wanted that since I first heard it. :laugh:

Edit: You can download Amanda Jane and The God Rockets - Jesus Asked Me Out Today on itunes.

Which means theirs surely other ways :shifty: to download it.

See, I'm thinking she doesn't have as much to do with Maryanne as they're leading us to believe. My boyfriend thinks Daphne is using Sam to fight Maryanne or something, but I don't think it's as simple as that. I think they're trying to make it obvious that she has something to do with Maryanne just to throw it back at us that she's totally irrelevant to the Maenid storyline.

I'm thinking she knows what Sam is because she's a shifter, herself (I'm leaning very much towards a werepanther, especially seeing as they mentioned having recent Panther sightings, when they were in the morgue--makes it clear to me that they're going to reveal the werepanthers and perhaps the Hot Shot community). I'm thinking maybe she's a member of the Hot Shot community, and that the scratches on her back are from a fight with the community in which she was kicked out. OR the scratches on her back are from a pack leader ritual, in which she was the "prize", and perhaps she's going to try to recruit Sam to their shifter community.

I'm probably wrong.

@McK--No, I didn't. I never think to check YouTube. I'm not a big user of it. But thank you! I've watched the episode about 5 times this week, and I keep hearing that song in the two parts they play it. Gets in my head, and I want it! Already got ahold of "Louisiana Hot Sauce", because of that episode!

[Rappy Veteran]

I really need to read the books to know what the Hot Shot Community are :p

[Emily_June]

I thought you had. Sorry :p

Just a very tight-knit community in the town of Hot Shot, not very far from Bon Tempes which holds a group of "strange" residents.

Nah it's cool it seems the series isn't keep to the books anyway so it wouldn't be much help :p

Hot Shot Community sounds cool tho :p

It's keeping to the books when it comes to most of Sookie's storyline. Bill and Eric, so far, as well. Problem is that they're told from her perspective all through-out, so a lot of the side stories with other characters are unique to the show.

Hot Shot community will play a pretty big part later on, if they stick to the books regarding that. It's a pretty depressing town, actually :p

edit, wrong character!! :)

[Rappy Veteran]

Maryann is the Maenad, Daphne was the girl who swam with Sam and has the scratches on her back.

haha damn you bgm :p

[BGM]

lol, i realised pretty much as soon as i hit post that i had a the wrong character! :D

god knows what Daphne is, maybe a fairy or something(!), although she and Maryann seems very 'similar' and both are interested in Sam, so maybe they are connected some way..

maybe we'll find out some more on sunday! :)

[Rappy Veteran]

Yeah can't wait :D

heh heh finally Alex Skarsgard speaking Swedish - finally!

But..."nice rack, nice balls" - give me a break, that's not the best writing in the world.

[gregb0b]

When will we see her rackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Rappy Veteran]

Bill's maker is back!!!!!!

I thought it was pretty clever, actually. At least it made me giggle. :p

Bill's maker is back!!!!!!

I hate her. :(

[Rappy Veteran]

Yeah I don't like her :(

How awesome was it to Erics backstory!, Godric looks weird a bit like a Pharaoh!

Also Daphne is a Deer :p

Daphne is a shape-shifter like Sam, not just a deer or a "weredeer" :p. She can shift into any animal. They're far more rare than weres which can only shift into one animal. I was wrong about the werepanther/werewolf part clearly, but I'm still not convinced she has much to do with Maryanne!

I was a little confused with Stan. I know the woman is a servent-vamp of Stan, but was Stan supposed to be the King of Texas? He is in the book, but in the show he seemed to be another servant to the king. Maybe I just midheard and his name wasn't Stan. I'll just pay more attention when I watch the show 5 more times this week. :D

Godric is a young boy (about 15 when he was made) from Ancient Rome--that's where the tattoos are from, too. I'm surprised they stuck with the young boy thing. Also, in the books, Godric is not Eric's maker! It was a twist I could actually kind of see coming in the show, though.

I don't think I'm spoiling anything, right?
