shadowkat1. True Blood - continues to rock this season. It's spooky Southern Gothic. And
*I'm loving vamp Tara, who can totally kick butt. She can out-wise-crack Pam. Perfect match.
"If I wanted to dress drag, I would have raided Lafayette's closet." Turning Tara into a vamp is inspired.
*I can't decide who is creepier? Terry's Fire Monster or Lafeyette or Russell Edington. I'm going with Lafayette at the moment. Edington remains amusing.
* Someone should have knocked out Doug. Just saying.
* Sorry, Eric is hotter than Bill. Bill still looks scrawny and tiny. Even more so next to Eric. But I do love the bro-romance going on there.
* I wish I could care what is happening to the shifters and Sam, but I don't. I know they won't kill Sam, seriously, we should be so lucky. But Hasta La Vista - Luna and the shifter club, you were so boring. The only one I liked, the kid, got away.
*Jason looks like he may join the anti-sup club soon...lets' hope not. The anti-Supe club is also creepy. Possibly creepier than Lafayette. But Jason's renewed hatred of vamps works...and is an interesting storyline.
I actually like this season. The plot is tighter. The writing cleaner. And the character arcs make sense. It's more like the season with The Fellowship of the Sun - which I think was Season 2? And reminds me a little of S1, which was also tighter in structure.
They've managed to get rid of the annoying characters and the annoying character arcs, and
inserted a few interesting new ones, and enhancing old characters that were growing stale.
2. Amy Pallindino-Sherman (Gilmore Girls/Bunheads), Aaron Sorkin (Newsroom/West Wing/Sports Night) and Joss Whedon all have one thing in common - quippy dialogue that you wish you thought or said, but know for a fact that no in reality ever says. In short - the witty dialogue, one-liners, and quips are cool, and lots of fun to listen to, but let's face it - no one talks like this. No one. It's comedy dialogue.
That doesn't mean of course that I don't eat up this type of dialogue like candy. I love it. Realistic dialogue tends to be incredibly boring.
