Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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

Ok, maybe I'll give Season 2 a try.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole 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.

Oh Lord, yes. While I appreciate that the book character has more agency and practicality than Anna Paquin's benighted simpleton, the focus on describing her Wal-mart ensemble du jour every chapter drives me up the wall.

Compassionately intolerant

This is especially annoying when you listen to the books. A bit like the first two Potter books when JK was in her adverbial period, I said disappointedly.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

One of the few things I remember about the one or two Anita Blake books I managed was the emphasis on her clothes. Usually including the color of stripe on her Nikes.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I had to stop reading the Sookie Stackhouse books because of the clothing descriptions. It also really dates the book- much like all of the explainations of "the electronic mail- or e-mail" in the early Kay Scarpetta books

Anita Blake wears clothes at some point? But wouldn't that result in whole seconds she couldn't spend banging every supernatural creature in her immediate vicinity?

This was in the first book, back when she wasn't having sex.

I watched the first episode of Season 2 last night. I've decided that the show is a comedy with supernatural badness. It's much easier to watch it that way.
