Right. She sounds retarded and I have never heard a southern accent that sounded like that. They need to get her to a dialect coach.

Wow, I was really anticipating having the same reaction as many of you when I first heard about the show.

The books did nothing for me, and the ads made it look terrible. I am, however, a sucker for a cheesy horror-drama series, and this one is doing just fine for me so far. I've only seen the second episode, and not being familiar with the books that much, I honestly really enjoy it.

It's definitely hard for me not to see the Buffy comparisons because I was...am, a Buffy fan. With that aside, I have hope for the show.

As far as Tara, I don't think she's the typical bitchy black friend. I think she's got layers, she's merely projecting her frustrations of a so far wasted life in the South. Her situation would probably make me bitchy too.

My only main question is why couldn't Anna Paquin hold down a Southern accent as Rogue for the X-Men movies, especially having already won an Oscar?

I watched the 1st 2 episodes & i'm hooked. There is something about vampire movies/shows that is intriguing. I'll keep watching to see what happens.

Here are some vampire movies that I love
Dracula - a classic
Lost Boys - original & love this movie
Interview with a vampire - um kirten dunst only movie she was good in, can't go wrong with brad pitt, Tom Cruise, Antonio Boderes & Christian Slater
Blade - loved the 1st one

I'm an HBO junkie, so I'm watching this. I was sceptical of the idea of a vampire show on HBO, but thankfully they have a good amount of self-aware camp elements and don't take themselves too seriously. It's not the best thing I've seen, but I will definitely keep watching. I'm surprised by all the Tara hate, though. I'm usually really wary of that type of character, but I find myself liking her. But of course she's gotten some more layers and become more nuanced since the pilot. And I think Anna Paquin is cute as a button in this.

i am loving this show rite now, cant wait for the next episode. My boyfriend says it makes soft core porn look bad...lmaoo. But its really good !!! this is the first tv series that has caught my attention and kept it in a really long time. I'm not a big fan for girly tv shows (gossip girl, one tree hill, and lets not even mention 90210 which was a big disappointment, it was the only grly tv show i was lookin forward to but it sucked !)

Still watching so far. Definitely an over the top vibe at times, and every episode has to have a "cliffhanger", LOL.

But still watching. I'm still curious to see where this goes.

my husband & i like the show.. it does have a lot of graphic scenes, though! i think sookie is kind of annoying & ditzy sometimes, and her friend (brother's bff) isn't the best actor.

lol.

You know they couldn't kill off Bill, right? I thought the exact thing as you when I saw next week's preview.

This show is like my guilty pleasure. I make the hubby watch it with me when I "can't find anything else to watch". Lol. i.e. I have to wait for the reruns. I think my hubby's catching on to me though.

But noooooooo, you can't kill bill!! And seriously, wth is wrong w/ sookie brother and his new chick? I guess V is the new crack.

And that exorcism? Ha ha, I can't imagine Tara being like a totally sweet and nice person.

anybody else wonder what happened with the murders and sam? remember when that chic from the bar died and he went to her house later that nite to roll around in her bed....what was that about? i figure sam hates bill so much he wants to murder people so they think its bill, but how come they never really show that sam is the murderer? or maybe hes not? idk ! what do you guys think?

Surely Sam must be some sort of werewolf/shapeshifter, with the barking in bed, running around naked in the woods and rolling around and sniffing in a dead girl's bed.

I was a big fan of Entourage. When the new season came out (and True Blood premiered), I had no intensions of watching T.B. I watched the first episode of TB b/c I was bored and was waiting for Entourage. But I really got into the show. Ever since then, Im addicted.

When I was a teen, I had fantasies of vampires (thanks to all the dirty vamp books, lol). I love my gothic/emo boys mysterious and dark. I also love the southern vamp thing. On monday mornings when I'm at work, somethings I'll accidently talk to my clients with a southern accent. My clients have caught on and say "Oh, I guess True Blood was on last night". lol

I wonder if Sookie will get pregnant by Bill?
I also wonder wassup with Sookie's boss? Is/was Tara's mom really posessed by a demon?
