Alright, I admit my dorkery. I can't wait to see what Alan Ball (Six Feet Under guy) and HBO do with True Blood, their new series on things undeadly. Starts Sunday. Can't wait.

Ayu Sura · 09-04-2008, 04:04 PM

Oo, thanks for reminding me! Must set the DVR!

Asher Bertrand · 09-04-2008, 04:07 PM

Fauxblog here. LOL

I saw the 15-minute promo mockumentary HBO did on vampire rights a few weeks back.

Cindy Claveau · 09-04-2008, 04:08 PM

HBO's slipped a little since their string of hit series stopped. I loved Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Carnivale, and Deadwood. I was less enthralled with Entourage, John from Cincinnati, Big Love, or the Wire, but those first four shows more than made up for everything else.

I have a feeling that, with Alan ball (Six Feet Under) behind the wheel, this one's going to be every bit as good as their best.

I'm with you - cannot WAIT. I'll probably burn the shows on DVD so I can rewatch during offseason

Ayu Sura · 09-04-2008, 04:09 PM

Rome!

And we just started watching Six Feet Under and love it!

Asher Bertrand · 09-04-2008, 04:11 PM

Oh yeah, Rome was awesome

Six Feet Under was the best, though. Especially the final episode. Won't spoil it for you, Ayu, but I hope you get to see it sometime.

Bams · 09-04-2008, 04:22 PM

I really enjoyed Generation Kill. I never saw Six Feet Under. big Love was ok Bunnie was into it. I didn't watch Deadwood and the Sopranos was not my thing.

True Blood looks like a cheesefest. I enjoy Vampire mythology but unless they were writing a comedy the premise is ridiculous and the previews make my eyes roll involuntarily.

Ann Launay · 09-04-2008, 04:23 PM

I read those books, which may or may not mean the HBO series will cause me to grit my teeth in annoyance.

Asher Bertrand · 09-04-2008, 04:26 PM

H8rs. You are not on my protected list anymore.

I had someone tell me in RL once they were a vampire and then proceeded to layout their entire lineage. I guess that was supposed to impress me straight or something I'm not sure what his angle was. I never saw that guy again it was weird.

Asher Bertrand · 09-04-2008, 04:41 PM

Maybe you can find him here

It was supposed to have started last year but was delayed because of the writers strike last year

CHEESEFEST!!!

Dem's fightin wurdz!!!!

Admittedly I'm worried about how well the show will keep to the books, but the books were WONDERFUL!!

Cindy Claveau · 09-07-2008, 08:06 PM

IT'S STARTING IN 45 MINUTES!

Meanwhile they're showing their interviews with allegedly real vampires.

Asher Bertrand · 09-07-2008, 08:32 PM

Things like that make me feel reassuringly normal.

Io Zeno · 09-07-2008, 10:14 PM

OMFG THIS WAS SO GREAT!!

Io Zeno · 09-07-2008, 10:15 PM

Stephen Moyer (Bill the vampire) is going to be a sex god, now, as well. He's also British.

Asher Bertrand · 09-07-2008, 10:22 PM

Kill and I watched it over the phone together (shush). Said he was eerily reminiscent of a certain online persona

Yeah, good potential here. Looking forward to see how it develops

Io Zeno · 09-07-2008, 10:24 PM

D'awww that's sweet.

Surreal Farber · 09-07-2008, 10:30 PM

Hush you biotches.... I loved the books, but can't watch the show for another hour & a half.
