Those two are breaking my heart. Just work it out already kids!
Wouldn't it be fun if Pam moved into Bill's house to watch over Jessica while he's missing?
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

I can't believe no one has mentioned Naked Eric! That alone made it a great start to the season!
I'm glad Jessica felt bad for what she'd done. Poor girl really needs someone to show her the ropes.
And I totally fell for Sam's dream for a bit!
And yes to more Pam! And Lafayette!

Andy and Jason's new cheer is one for the ages: Conscience off. Dick ON!
That should be a superhero motto or something.

Hee. It made me think that next hiatus we should have a TB quote deathmatch. . . there will be 3 seasons worth.

Sumi, I was just coming in to post that! (I'm not normally subbed to this thread because I don't get HBO, but I might have to subscribe for that. Winter is coming!)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm wondering--is True Blood good? I mean, apart from entertaining, is it quality storytelling and narratively innovative?

I've only been able to see one episode. It heavily featured grown adults dressed in togas with wreaths on their heads, dancing around outside apparently following the orders of a woman who was some sort of supernatural entity. They all appeared to be be drugged, or at least under her control. There was a large section where the women, no lie, passed around a large ostrich egg smeared with blood and took turns licking it. The woman who seemed to be the heroine was kind of painful to watch. The whole thing seemed to be watch-from-the-hallway embarrassing. There were a few scenes with vampires playing politics, but they were too few and far between.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ita,
it depends on your definition of "good."
When I started watching the show (with the pilot), I was like: "what the fuck am I watching?" I was curious enough to see it through and all in all, I'm glad I did. I find the series to be a bit uneven, but the parts that entertain really do entertain.
The series has a lot of skin, but not as much fighting as I had hoped.
The show definitely gives a sense of place more than most shows on tv and the acting is pretty good generally - though the accents are all over the place.
