"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Zenkitty,

and there promises to be more of the SAME! It is no joke.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I wasn't sold on the pilot mainly because Sookie annoyed me, and she continues to do so. But there was enough there to keep me wanting to watch. I liked the main arc of S1 better than the main arc of S2, but I enjoyed the secondary storylines of S2 much better than the secondary plots during S1. So I guess what I'm saying is that if you take the S1 main plot and combine it with the S2 secondary plots, you'd have a great season.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

So, you didn't see the season premiere?

Nope, I've only seen Season 1.

le n, was there supposed to be spoiler font there?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I liked where season 2 ended up eventually (almost everybody in Bon Temps going batshit crazy), mainly because it gave us the Jason, Andy and Sam show for a while there, but there was way too much rinse, later, repeat of orgy/decedance scenes leading up to it. I know they were trying to show it as a decline over a period of time (sort of like out of a Stephen King novel) but it just didn't work. I was basically sitting there saying "Just ascend already!" to Marianne.

"Just ascend already!"

ha! gotta love Buffy fans. The in-jokes keep on giving.

u know, the water in Arkansas is very HARD.

This is the point where I said: "this has got to be a dream." Bill does not say that.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

have you read the books, ita? if not, i recommend them. even more so than the show. book!Sookie is much less of a damsel in distress and is generally more likeable. not sure why Alan has gone the route with her that he has. i guess he likes his women whiny, holier than thou and constantly in need of a man to save her.

Compassionately intolerant

Interestingly, the audiobooks interpret Sookie as exactly as whiny as the tv show. There are loads of other differences, but the woman who reads the books makes her sound, well...unpleasant.
