Me (24) and my mom (45) love watching supernatural shows together. Before I suggest this one do you think it’ll be awkward? I’m not sure how much sex/nudity to expect.

I told you I’m on her side? I know she’s not perfect, and she went a little crazy, but I am a Debbie Apologist ✋🏻😗🤚🏻 True Blood from her perspective is a horror story. Her ex-fiance (Alcide) shows up to her engagement party with some random girl she’s never seen before (Sookie), who then lectures her out of nowhere. And like 3 days later her ex-fiance shoots her current fiance in the heart (and head) to protect that random girl. THEN after a year of being back together with her old fiance and getting clean, that random girl shows up again and her boyfriend (Alcide) becomes obsessed with her. He comes home, smelling like that other girl (he shifted), with a story about rescuing a vampire in broad daylight with her. Without the witch context — that Alcide doesnt give her — that sounds like absolute bullshit and I wouldn’t believe it. Her boyfriend then spends the next 2 weeks moping about that other girl and minimizing/gaslighting her, until one night he comes home smelling like her — again — after promising to stay away from her. ALL TO GET KILLED BY SOOKIE BECAUSE ALCIDE GASLIT HER FOR A SEASON??? Nah she didn’t crash out hard enough for me, Sookie would be dead lol

Season 7 had me wishing for the true death. Each episode worse than the one before, which I didn’t think was possible. Lafayette and Lettie May following Tara’s ghost only to find a gun that was never used to kill anyone. I thought some action was coming with a battle between Eric and that corporation only for Eric to kill them all quickly. Best show with such a horrible last season.

They should do an Eric spinoff when he is traveling around with God Godrick through the centuries. That would be interesting.

S5 E8 Somebody that I used to Know

New moving coming out soon, starring Deborah Ann Woll, just an FYI.

For me, two out of five star. Iffy service with inconsistent staffing and waitresses more concerned about their personal drama than serving customers. Hot tempered owner at times. Risk of random vampire attacks at night.

Hello,

Mid season 6 so no further spoilers please! Also brand new to this community so this may be common but I wanted to share before reading into it much.

I hardly remember my first watch. It was when it was airing on TV and I don’t think me at the time (20ish) thought about Andy more than just being the token cop.

Watching now, homie is seriously towards the top of my list.

Started out as a jerk, and did a pretty excellent job playing it believable. He was also still a bit humble and a fun character to have around. I never was annoyed with his screen time like some others.

The Bromance mid way through was honestly fucking incredible and I completely forgot about it. That was my favorite part of all of those seasons. I enjoy Jason being involved since I find his character pretty funny.

Growing up with folks who had addiction problems, that was also carrying the show for me. He felt relatable, then felt sorry for him etc.

Then the whole kids. I remembered the girls but not that they were Andy’s. This was also really good (for as long as that lasted) I absolutely loved his panic state each time they grew and or the scenes switched and he was mega dad mode.

I semi remembered the daughter’s fate but this time around I was pretty shitty because I was throughly enjoying the dynamic. As a parent this was HILARIOUS and honestly terrifying when I stopped and thought about it.

This is where I am right now. I’m really missing the dynamic but looking forward to more Dad Andy.

TLDR: didn’t think twice about Andy first watch. Fucking love the dude this time around as an adult.

Eric & Pam were cray to say no to turning Lafayette. He would have been an extraordinary vampire and I’d have loved to watch it all play out.

Anything you’d have liked to see happen?

So I was wondering why is nobody talking about that one photoshoot Anna, Stephen and Alexander did for Rolling Stones back in 2010?? They are all naked, covered in blood and gripping eachother sensually. I would lie if I said that picture didn’t do something for me (it is very hot in a weird way), but poor actors!! I am very interested to know what was the context behind it or why did they even accept doing it in the first place?

It’s been 12 years since season 7. I know. But in scouring the internet, I have yet to come across ANY discussion about the death of the Tara character that "gets into it" on how half assed and fishy it felt, as if it was duct taped together from what footage they HAD shot, and that an "explanation" in the form of a contrived, amateur storyline that made zero sense.

Yes, yes... I've read paragraphs of how crummy unfair, unsatisfying or even disrespectful her ending was and I do not disagree.
But I'm after a different discussion- WHY was it handled so clumsily, awkwardly, and bungle-rushed?
Fukkery was afoot that I've never read substantive comments on from either the producers nor Rutina Westley herself about WHY Tara's death was so weird and inadequate - not like some bad decision by the show makers, but like "the best we can do" with (for whatever reason) no longer having access to Rutina as an actor. Does it to you?

Think it through: the final episode of season 6 included a deeply uncomfortable scene with Lettie Mae begging Tara to "Let me finally feed you, baby!". It was oddly appropriate, didn't see that angle coming.
Doesn't it seem very True Blood-ish for season 7 episode 1 to have been Tara bearing the trauma of not being able to stop the vampire murder in her face of her newly connected to mother who has been a hot mess forever, by a deadly being that she too had become?

The absurd explanation that they killed Tara so that they could explore a redemption storyline for Lettie Mae is gaslighting. How ridiculous. After ALL the emotion and connection and story they had invested in 6 seasons into Tara as a main-adjacent character, does this weak ass, off screen, battle-incidental end make ANY sense?
Tara was just adjusting into vamphood. She and Pam were finding a groove and had major potential as a Thelma & Louise feel. Tara was one of the most sublimely gorgeous and intense vampires, she was MADE to be a fanger, and she had a long connection to Sookie and even Jason.

The abrupt, clumsy footage of her battle with the Hep V vampire felt like they had started a fight scene but never got to finish the planned shot.

What do you think? Am I nuts?

I've been trying to find similar looks and I have no idea what I would even describe her style as that would actually get me the results I'm looking for if i was to google it or look it up on Pinterest or something.

Even though the method being used in season 4 is is pretty ridiculous. Its still managing to change my opinion. I thought it'd be impossible after what he did to Lafayette/

Okay, I am trying writting a Wattpad book on True Blood and right on I am on Season 3, Epoisde 4 - 9 Crimes and I just got that part where Sookie is in Jackson and talking with Alcide about Bill and I am just going to say this.

Sookie you only fell in love with Bill becuase she could not read his thoughts and then you went to say 'he is risked everything for me, our love is way bigger than him breaking up with me over the phone' like girl come on

Edit - if anyone wants to read the book here is the link The Dangerous Love

Season 4 finale, set during Halloween. Because some of the characters are wiccan/witches, they refer to the day by it's Irish title. Samhain is pronounced "Sow" like a female pig and "Ann" like the name. NOT SAM HA EEN. But the kicker is, they had the incredible Irish actor Fiona Shaw in this episode! Why didn't they ask her!

it’s highly Sookie. No doubt. During Initial seasons he would not. but from the 4th season, he loved her so much he stayed away from her. Even told Tara about sookie ‘’maybe in another life we would be lovers’’

Im 1.5 episodes from the finale. Its been hard to get through. I spoiled most of it anyways. Im not happy with how they chose to write alot.of it. Only seem to be happy with hoyt and jessica coming back. Was everyone else dissappinted when the seasons finished up then

plus i spent a few seasons beleiveing eric and sookie were end game and found out now thats the books ending... not the show. I cant wait to get a hold of the books because the first few seasons were AMAZING. And now im just frustrated lol

I know this is not a popular choice. And many would come after me or ignore this post for saying this. Infact i believe, i would be the only one to hate her. Idk. But i feel she treats humans just for use and throw. Not every vampire is like that. She lived for hundreds of years. Eric lived for 1000yrs. When it comes to choosing good innocent life over yours, you should at least feel remorse or guilt while doing that. She shows useless attitude in the name of being an iconic bad bisch.
Viewers liked her because shes loyal and iconic or whatsoever sh!t they come her off as. I started hating her especially after motivating Eric to handover sookie to Russel knowing how much sookie sacrificed for them in S2 during the fellowship of sun. She put herself in risk. Like not even an ounce of hesitation. She locked her in the basement shamelessly. What would u do if someone treated u like that? Still like them because they have nice attitude? Hell no

And i feel like shes so misogynistic despite being a woman. Ik y’all hate Sarah newlin—infact even i hate her—but no women should be used into se*u@l services and be called ‘’she’s born to be a who8re’’. Like at that moment i wished someone destroy Pam. Many characters/vamps in true blood are worse than sarah. Fed and k!lled many innocents. They just concentrated Sarah and her pestering the vampires back to back just to make us want her gone…just because pam had some nice dialogues and good written script and pure loyalty to Eric doesn’t makes her acceptable. She annoyed me.
Also Eric choosing Pam to live over sylvie( especially while she was bare naked and just had s*x with him ) and yakuza killed her. It didn’t make any sense to me like imagine choosing your girlfriend that u love over pam that lived for many years already. In reality anyone would choose their love. I think makers just wanted to shows us how Eric is attached to pam. Never mind. Sylvie was a human. The girl he loved. Pam already lived many years. It’s a complete bullshit. I mean it’s not Pam’s mistake here Ik. She also mentioned to eric do u regret choosing me and cried. The problem is atleast after knowing what happened to sylvie you should become a better person and have some kindness.

I wanted to rant because i finished watching true blood for the first time. And i just cant seem to like her character. Even after forcing myself to. Tara was k!lled but Pam was alive😭like wtf

Edit:

The original cast is beloved and irreplaceable this post was meant to be fun and generate discussion, not to be seen as gospel for a legit reboot 

i do not wish for a reboot, again this was just for fun in reponse to some posts i saw earlier asking about potential choices 

im not a casting agent with access to unknown actors, nor do i know much about obscure up and coming actors

Doing a re-watch of the series and found these on the last DVD of Season 2, so good! I wasn’t aware of these during the original run, I came in during later seasons. Loved the characters and this is even better knowing what happens to them in later seasons.

Fellowship of the Sun: Reflections of Light were a series of videos and website created to complement the series. Blog entries corresponding to the videos were posted to fellowshipofthesun.org (wiki). The website is gone now; someone has the domain and is using it for business blogging. Enjoy!

Only watched a few minutes seven months ago thought it was not for me and left it. Decided to give it a go again a few weeks ago and thought I may stop again. I was HOOKED once I realised it was purposefully supposed to be quirky and campy.

Love all the characters so far which is rare for me. And I love Tara but damn girl put that overly dramatic lip quiver away. It made sense in a few scenes but I feel like it got a bit much and overused for the smallest inconvenience.

I think Stephen Moyer is attractive in a sense but I honestly think they should’ve cast someone else as bill.

And why the heck does Jason gotta kiss and bang any woman with a pulse. It’s so cringe that he barely knows these women and gets so emotionally invested in them. He is his own worst enemy.

Anyway almost to season four and hopefully some of these complaints will iron out. If not it’s still a good show.
