True Blood - Time Bomb to I Will Rise Up (S2)

LJ is still obsessed with Sherlock Holmes and True Blood S3. (and quite upset about the fact that both shows are sort of ahem unpolitically correct? They are *just* tv shows people. Lighten up. TV shows aren't supposed to be politically correct, sort of foils the whole point of being a tv show - you know as in the mindless and often offensive entertainment? We aren't exactly talking literature here. We're talking fun pulp! Which I'm guessing was never meant to be analyzed. We're talking about a medium that produced such critical gems as Three's Company and Manimal. Although, Sherlock Holmes is supposed to show up on PBS this fall - the closest thing the US has to a literary tv network. Only the most lofty of British and American tv shows make it to PBS. And well, anything with Sherlock Holmes in the title because Sherlock Holmes is British and like Shakespeare, Jane Austen and Agatha Christie must be literary.)

After seeing the episode I Will Rise Up - True Blood S2 (I have not seen S3, I know, I know I'm behind everyone on the tv stuff...but it is what it is.) - I get why people fell in love with it. This episode was hilarious and moving.

Ball's team of writers are better at dialogue than Charlain Harris - this is a lot funnier than I remember.

Sarah shoots Jason with a paintgun.

Jason: (totally serious) I'm dead? No, I'm not. Oh, it's a miracle. God has saved me! Thank you, Jesus.

Sarah: It's a paint-gun, grow a brain cell already.

Me: Hee. Honey, you haven't figured that out until now? And I think he needs to grow more than a brain cell. Maybe a whole brain.

Jason to Sookie: I'm really stupid Sookie. I have a brain but it only appears to be taking up space in my head.

Sookie: No, you're not stupid. You are just letting your brain sit there and take up space.
That's just being lazy. It ain't the same.

ME: Sookie darling, pot calling kettle black here.
