that finale was odd. definately a rollercoaster pulling with my emotions, lol. I can't wait for season 3 to start!

I've also heard that the series isn't following the books at all other than having the same characters, but can't confirm.

They started showing this a few weeks ago in the UK and, although I'm not a big fan of vampire-themed programmes/books, I love this programme and am enjoying it. The last vampire related programme I watched was Buffy when I was a teenager.

I'm the same way about vampire stuff. I despise the twilight stuff and all the recent teenage vampire stuff and was never into the anne rice stuff either, but I appreciate true blood because it's vampires in a different way.

I got a little bored with season 1 around episodes 6-10, but stick with it! it picks back up

Same for me, only trade out the UK for Iceland.

I'm addicted to this show

I can not wait for season 3!

have they announced a date? I'm guessing it's not going to be until fall 2010... sigh...

I don't think they've said anything about a date. Which is so annoying! I want to know what happens, and if it will be anything like the 3rd book.

Oh and I don't know if you can see, but thats a True Blood (Fangtasia) shirt I'm wearing in my avatar

Are my eyes playing tricks on me or is that Michelle Forbes (Maryanne Forrester) at around :50?

After seeing her in Razor and then True Blood it's nice to see something a little lighter from her 

That show is so bad it's good, give it a try before you start knocking it lol

I LOVE true blood. i also read the book series. Which the show is roughly based on.

I have a total man crush on eric northman. mmmm

I can't wait until season 3 hits in june ^^

This last Christmas I got the first book in the series that True Blood is based off of, Sookie Stackhouse. It had some good points but over all reading it just pissed me off. The thing I love about the show is that it's an ensemble story with some great characters. The book being written from Sookie's point of view really cuts down on how much you see of them and I found Sookie's obsession with herself and her looks in the book annoying when you just wanna get to some action. lol

You should read club dead. Its so far favorite of the whole series. I really hope they have bubba and alcide in the show. lol

but sookie can get very annoying in the books.
I like how the books are a bit different then the shows. So you can read them and not destroy plots in the show.

Yeah, I think I'd be more interested in reading more from the series if it was written in 3rd person so that I wouldn't have to read stuff like "I was going to have to run for my life, so I put on a pair of jeans and tied my hair up" I don't care what you're wearing! There were at least 3 incidents in the first book where she starts going on about her makeup and clothes where it doesn't really add anything to the story.

I also didn't like that Tara wasn't in the book and that Lafayette had such a small role.

Though I do like Bubba and the danger he poses for Sam.

Tara is in the books but very small role also. Shes in club dead more so.

but i agree the show is way better.

Have you ladies and gents.. seen the new previews of season 3.. Alcide revealed. very yummy.

June 13th. I can't wait

It's a guilty pleasure of mine. Personally, the romance is too ham-handed for me, but the rest of it is great. My favorite scene has to be when Bill finds Eric taking a bath in his house with Old Swedish music playing and says, "I texted you three times. Why didn't you reply?"

I dislike most vampire fiction, but I play vampire roleplaying games (aw yeah V:tM oldskool) - and the lack of "BWOOOO WE'RE SO DARK AND MYSTERIOUS" in True Blood that tends to be apparent in most vampire fiction is a plus, and they aren't totally weepy and harmless either. Even Bill is a jerk and kills people sometimes.

O, I love it!

Anna look so adorable and the guy, yay.. damn sexy! bite me bite me...  hwhwhw
