I didn't know that there was a Treme food truck too. I wonder if they did a Mildred Pierce food truck: chicken, waffle and pies. Lots of pies.

Game of Thrones - new stills. I can't believe that they called Eddard Stark "Sir Eddie" - hey his nickname is "Ned."

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

First time in this thread...I've just mainlined the first season of True Blood and am not sure it's worth investing the time for Season 2. Does it get anymore interesting?

I find the leads annoying and the scripts not that well written. I think Joss spoiled me.

So, I just started watching Dexter, Season 1, ep 1, and it was 100 times better than TB.

Quester, I didn't like season 1 TB either, but it does get better. Although, never anywhere near as good as Dexter imho.

sumi, S1 had too much Sookie and Bill for me. I don't really like either of them. I like the supporting cast much better.

I think that is my problem, too, sj. I don't find either of them particularly interesting or well-acted.

I think I also have a low-tolerance for stupid-with-a-southern-accent in general.

I contrast the characters on True Blood with the ones on Justified, and find them wanting.

Always Anti-fascist!

I have written No Reservations: Bon Temps fanfic. Should I link to it in the fanfic thread? It was fun describing that stuff from the outside and borrowing Bourdain's...outsized voice for the occasion. I think Season one was kind of my favorite...maybe you never forget your first time? One thing I appreciate about the show is that we can*see* Sookie wearing her clothes so that Charlaine doesn't need to describe them to us. That shit gets OLD fast.(Maybe it wouldn't if I wasn't wearing a t-shirt with the Leverage team on it.) And I've kind of given up on the books cause she's ended up in clinches with everyone cause OMG, Sookie is just SO irresistible(And I LIKE Sookie...she's just approaching a situation where her biggest flaw is being too awesome in the book!verse) I wish I hadn't read them all in a big bunch. I just missed the show...
