Hey...HEY! True Blood season 5 premieres tonight on HBO! Fucking love this show! Let's take a look at some of the characters.

Joe Manganiello as Alcide Herveaux

AND MANY MORE!

I'm not going to go too deep into the story because I assume there are still people here who haven't seen the show that want to.

Let's keep spoilers spoilered no matter how far back. I don't care if season 1 was 5 years ago, let's not ruin it for other people.

Lafayette is the best character.

Jessica is the hottest vampire

Eric is better than Bill.

Alcide is the best looking dude and he and I have the same body.

Discuss.

    Well I don't know what the hell's going on in the show but I agree with all of your statements, so there's that.

    Also sometimes if I hear there's an especially hot episode I watch it.

    Embarrassing but true!

    All truth. Also will be renting season 4 at some point in the near future. Feel free to spoil the shit out of it for me, as I don't really give a shit about spoilers.

    Season 4 was really good. So far season 3 has been the weakest overall.

    Also, I've read some of the books and they change so much from the book and all the changes are better. EXAMPLE in the books
    Lafayette is the guy they find dead in the back of Andy Bellefleur's car. He's a nothing character.

    Sometimes I forget
    that he's dead in the books

    Because I watched the first couple of seasons intermittently and read some of the books a couple of years ago.

    So now they're all merged into some bizarre fanfiction-esque plot goop in my head.

    I was so pissed when I read that.

    I saw the trailer for this episode on HBO the other day

    it was all moody and dark and intense
    and then the evil guy pulled back his hood, and it was the chef from Wet Hot American Summer.

    He's a tremendously talented actor, I mean him no disrespect, but that commercial did not use his likeness to a frightening effect at all.

    And I cant help but think that it was written to be condesending on purpose.

    I quit this show after season three because season three was really, really stupid

    was season four any better

  • Raijin QuickfootRaijin Quickfoot I'm your Huckleberry YOU'RE NO DAISYRegistered User, ClubPA regular
    I thought season 3 was the worst and I really enjoyed season 4 so I would say yes.

  • Skull ManSkull Man RIP KUSU Registered User regular
    the worst of the show or the worst, like, genocide bad

    because it was a centerless awful piece of shit

  • Skull ManSkull Man RIP KUSU Registered User regular
    also please tell me
    that the fairy stuff sookie was seeing at the end of season 3 was like some kind of glamour thing and fairies are actually more like the Fae, all long-limbed and fox-faced and monstrous

    I thought season 4 was gonna be poop from a butt when they started out with the fairy shit. But then they let that go real quick and the time jump was actually an interesting story point! Team Eric forever

    season three had like
    that one stupid waitress was pregnant with an evil baby which was dumb, because that guy was just crazy, not a demon or something, and maybe the other stupid waitress was like a witch or something? but not a good one, I guess?

    lafayette was getting wizard powers which I hated because I liked that he was the one hyper-competent human on the show

    sookie was being criminally stupid and a smug asshole all the time

    bill was being a sap, eric was being a giant mary sue who everyone loves all the time and maybe seeing godric's ghost? or something?

    they didn't kill the vampire king or whatever because he was too popular of a character so they put him in concrete and god I hated that because it was such a cowardly writing decision and also stupid in-universe; eric didn't even stay in that concrete one night

    and also werewolves and fucking meth-addict werepanthers and maybe jessica and hoyt were going to get killed by hoyt's dumb mom or something

    oh and jesus I hated the vampire queen lady, she was the worst actress on the show, jesus christ she was bad

    and none of these stupid plots had any goddamn thing to do with one another because the show had zero center and was basically structured like a soap opera and the finale was so stupid and bad and had bill and the vampire queen jump in the air for a matrix shot and I said fuck this show

  • Raijin QuickfootRaijin Quickfoot I'm your Huckleberry YOU'RE NO DAISYRegistered User, ClubPA regular
    Season 4 was a lot better.

    I love this show, and I loved last season's finale.
    I look forward to Eric back to being ultra-badass, and Tara being dead and no longer annoying the hell out of me.

    Actually
    Russell stayed in there for a whole season. IDK if that was, in actuality, one night in the universe of the story, but still.

    And I agree with it being stupid though, they straight up said he wasn't going to be in there long. The only good thing is according to the previews they're implying that somebody freed him, which is at least a good mystery addition to the Russell storyline.

  • Skull ManSkull Man RIP KUSU Registered User regular
    no, I was saying Eric only stayed there one night when bill through HIM in, so there's no reason to believe that russel would stay there for very long

  • Sweeney TomSweeney Tom try The Substance it changed my lifeRegistered User regular
    Oh, OK, that was my bad.

    But yeah, that made the writing decision look even worse.
    Oh, big sexy vampire gets out of there in one night, but ugly old vampire stays in there for a season and gets out with help

  • Skull ManSkull Man RIP KUSU Registered User regular
    well, eric had help too

    but that made it worse, yeah

    I mean, it only takes one person

    are you telling me NO ONE is going to try to free like one of the strongest/oldest vampires alive, out of either some old debt, affection, or new ambition? it was just dumbdumbdumb

    This show is a terrible guilty pleasure for me. Going to watch it until the 6 mo hbo promo we got for Game of Thrones runs out, then I get to wait until next year and catch up on hbo go.
    I wish showtime had a better online service- so many things to catch up on, and the t.v. is not available at the moment.

    If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

    It is pretty stupid though. But stupid in a funny way, the show doesn't take itself seriously all the time.

    Not only was that a smart move, it was also brilliantly done. I had read the books before I watched the show. The first season followed the first book very closely. They seemed to be setting the second season up the same way and then boom! Massive change from the book. It really made me sit up and take notice.
