True Blood - Truly Fabulous
Hello - In times where one is overwhelmed by devastating news as soon as one turns on the computer or the TV I find even more comfort in my tv shows… and swimming. Unfortunately most of the shows are on Hiatus and won’t start until the Fall which on the other hand is a season I am not anticipating since Fall means the farewell of Summer and the return of winter. Of course winter this year means “New Moon” which is the highlight of my year - and yes I know I have strange highlights but well. Speaking of “New Moon”. While I really liked the first official Trailer and am still watching it on regular basis followed by embarassing joyful gestures when no one can see me…I was quite taken by how much the Movie “The Golden Compass” sucked. It was one of the few movies I turned off after a while. But I guess it had to do with the storyline and not so much with the directing. Instead I rewatched the “Sex and the City “Movie after a Marathon session of rewatching (once again) all 6 seasons of the Show.
But now to “True Blood” - Monday’s episode called “Scratches” was awesome. Sookie almost died when she was attacked by a dragon-like creature who marked her with huge scratches. Bill brought her to Eric who called his funny but obviously competent dwarf docter who then saved Sookie. I find that Eric “Vampire sherif” kinda sexy and I think his scenes with Sookie are excellent. I loved how she slapped him in front of Bill who wasn’t really any help up to that point. In my opinion Sookie Stackhouse’s a.k.a Anna Paquin’s attitude especially when dealing with Bill and his vampire friends almost always borders on becoming annoying but up till now manages to stay on the side of beeing highly entertaining. Like when she finds out that Eric’s been keeping Lavayette in that dungeon and she confront’s Bill (who’s totally unaware) “You better not have anything to do with that” Loved how she glared at him there. I’m not sure why but the second time I watched this episode it was a little more spooky.
Why exactly is Sam leaving and where to? Well we’ll see if he’s going anywhere after Daphne with the Dragon scratch marks on her back joined him in that lake. Speaking of that lake - I would never ever jump into that lake. I don’t want to know what kind of animals live in it. But on the other hand it seems obvious that people in that town have a higher tolerance for unusual or scary stuff - with them cohabitating with Vampires, Dragon-like creatures and shapeshifters and all… So swimming in scary illuminated green lakes in secluded parts of the woods seems not to be that big of a deal…And don’t even get me started on Maryann’s party. How scary was it when the party guests’ eyes turned black. At least Tara is finally getting suspicious. No news on her moving together with Sookie though. But well Sookie was kinda busy fighting off dragon-like creatures and trying to survive their scratches and all…
And of course I have to mention Jessica. At first I had my doubts but she’s really grown on me. And now that she’s found herself a boyfriend maybe she’ll be less confused and anxious. She really is sort of funny and she’s got her heart at the right place and I loved how she said she would die of embarassement if she wasn’t already dead (when Hoyt kissed her and her fangs appeared).
All in all everyting about “True Blood” is excellent and I can’t wait until the next episode!!!
