True Blood - "Burning House of Love" - 10/19/08
"Burning House of Love"
Spoiler:
|
Why would HBO decide to put this in the same time slot as Dexter? No chance that there might be some fan overlap between two series featuring one of the stars of Six Feet Under and that shows creator.
|
They both reair so many times I'm not sure it's that big of a deal. I usally DVR both when they first air. Tonight I had to wait for the first Dexter reair because of the football overrun.

Hey, what do you know another episode filled with characters that are written to be the biggest idiots on the face of the planet. And and episode full of, "Hey, a 2 year old could figure out what's happening here" moments that stump the characters. After a couple of weeks of decent eps the show has regressed to what it truly is, complete trash and utter stupidity with idiotic plots and twists that aren't really twists and don't really matter.

and tonight we saw Janis Ian's breasts
i'm still waiting for the full monty from Jason i love the drama and acting on the show, but the constant nudity is the cherry on top! |
Yeah, first it was Anna Paquin, and now Lizzy Caplan. This show is becoming the one stop titty shop. I like. I mean, that's not the only thing about the show I like, but it helps..
|
Lizzy Caplan is nice!
|
I, too, enjoyed the Lizzy Caplan nudity. -other-

Aren't you the same guy that came in here for the series premiere thread and started crap with SFU fans? Aren't you also the guy who comes in here every single week and complains constantly? If you hate it so much just stop watching it.
|
So you complain when it gives you what you want and when it doesn't? Man, you've got all your bases covered.

Anyone else find it a little disturbing how Sookie is seemingly abused by so many of the men in her life?
Last week, Jason bitch-slapped her across a bed. A few weeks ago she had a creepy moment with Sam, and this week he tore a scarf off of her neck and publicly humiliated her. At this point, I really can't stand Jason at all. I don't think his character is redeemable. He was a creepy asshole before he became a junkie. Loved the spoon trick. :lol: And yet another decent display of female flesh. Though I'm not sure why the Wiccan chick left her panties on. Hoping that the exorcism was fake. Having an "alcohol demon" make an appearance would be traveling too far into Buffy territory. I'm really starting to warm up to Tara. Her bitchiness is just a defense mechansim that she's put because she's been fucked around badly by the people around her. |
The character of Tara has greatly improved, she was a one note stereotype when she was first introduced, but she's now quite the interesting character that isn't a stereotype in any way.

Love this show. |
Looks like Sam is definately a werewolf after this episode.

Is it just me or did Anna Paquin look way smoking hot in that first scene in the tub.
It's almost like the makeup / hair stylist for the show has been keeping her a little pale weird looking until now, and adds to the effect of her deflowering. Now that she's not a virgin she has color in her cheeks and looks way sexier... IMHO. |

The central mystery may have taken a backseat. Still I enjoyed not only the further exploration of the vampire mythology in this series, but the show ratcheting up a bit the camp factor.
Tara's "demon" has to be the f**ked-up mess trying to get a loan for the crazy exorcism/opossum drowning. The scene at the bank went from pathetic, hilarious ("There may be snow on the mountaintop but there fire in da valley!" :lol: ) to downright sad. I'm impressed with the development of the Tara character since the first two episodes.

He runs buck-naked the next morning after the rednecks noted a "full moon" out the prior nite - more hints of his werewolf tendencies.

Am I the only one that actually loves watching this show? And thinks its good? (I'm not talking "Six Feet Under" good), but I don't think its as cheesey as a lot of people on this board are making it out to be. |
I love watching the show and I think it's good. It's no Mad Men or anything, but it is just a really addictive, fun show to watch. I can't wait to see the new episodes.
I just love this little world that the show has created. |
I love watching the show and I think it's good as well. I don't see how the characters act stupid. How would you handle a situation where vampires are all of a sudden real? Not only that, they seem insanely strong.
I am curious about the demon bit. I don't think it was an "alcohol" demon. It's a demon. Maybe it manifests itself through addiction, or maybe it was just a scam perpetrated by the mother and the voodoo woman to scam Tara out of money. I'm interested either way. Jason is stupid. Stupid people exist in this world. He acts like a good-looking stupid guy would. I think Sookie, Tara, and Lafayette seem to have some smarts about them. Also it was weird that the Simpsons and True Blood had the spoon trick on the same night. |
