One would think...
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am watching True Blood with new eyes now, but...Tara. Is there no fixing her? Could she not even be a cool vampire? I read people complaining about how she was a lame human, and then she was briefly a cool but random bi MMA fighter, and that barely lasted. First she was a twitchy vampire, then a suicidal one, and then the worst poledancer (seriously--with muscles like those, she should be able to do some amazing stuff on the pole) that ever died, and now--drinking on the compelled chick from school--is that even rewarding? I'd much rather compel her to lie there and hate it. If she wants it, even compelled, where's the real fun at? Well, I hope she comes down and hates herself for it--do people remember after?
Lafayette is the only one I feel for on the show--and Jesus to a lesser degree, but there's no sense of worry there, what with the dearly departed and stuff.

Art Crawl!!!
Tara could compell her to remember. Otherwise, what sort of revenge is that?

The very shallowest type, and not very imaginative. The reason there can be fates worse than death is because of living with the knowledge.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
The Bernhardt confusion thing was only half-assed funny the first time, but you brought it up three times
The who with the what now?!

The economist allegedly mixed up Sarah Bernhardt, dead since like 1910, with Sandra, comedienne and singer and Roseanne guest star, cause, you know, she's *so smart*, it's like living in a cave made of her own intellect. Or something. Isn't that fricking hilarious?I don't think so...apparently Sorkin does (Not as much as being an economics expert who speaks Japanese fluently and is yet so babe-a-licious it only takes two minutes and literally whipping off Clark Kent hornrims to make her a newsbabe. Even with Rachel Maddow redefining what a newsbabe looks like, really?)

Honestly, I like it, but the last one absolutely had weird shit in it.

So far it's the most entertaining show to read about that I'm not interested in watching.
