bloodthirsty, hunger and bloodlust
WARNING: This article is chock-full of spoilers! Well, last night was the premier episode of True Blood season six. Awaited with as much dread as anticipation by some of us, my first over-all reaction was pleasant surprise! Let’s start with the obvious: Billith. I am one of the many Trubies out there who thought that …
HBO released some quick synopses of the first three episodes of the sixth season of True Blood. Due to economics as well as star Anna Paquin’s maternity leave, this season consists of ten episodes instead of the usual twelve. It also marks the first under the new show-runner Mark Hudis. Naturally, what follows are full …
Okay, am I the only True Blood fan who feels like this show has jumped the shark? Not just the shark, either, but also the school of rabid piranha that live next to the shark? With the new season about to start and anticipation building, I thought this might be the right time for me …
After the third season of True Blood I was pissed, and honestly, I didn’t even want to continue watching True Blood after that ridiculous mess. The storyline went absolutely nowhere, there wasn’t a solid plot to be found and there were far too many ridiculous side-stories that were totally pointless. It sucked bad enough that …
True Blood – Season 4 Finale – And When I Die Wow. Just, wow. Most of this finale was just wrapping things up; the whole sequence with Marnie and Lafayette and Jesus didn’t actually last that long. Once that was over, at about the halfway mark, they got busy establishing peeks into the new subplots …
Hang on to your asses, people! The True Blood season finale is this Sunday night, and I dunno about you, but I plan to live that hour in sheer, bittersweet bliss by ordering a massive pizza, with extra garlic sauce, and getting sugar-drunk on M&Ms Sonic Blast…. the biggest one they can fit through the …
True Blood – Season 4 – Soul of Fire Great episode; naturally there were a few things that peeved me, but, on the other hand, the body count alone, plus the mad action, made everything worthwhile. And this isn’t even the climax! We still have a hellacious shindig waiting for us in the next episode, …
I might be just -slightly- overreacting here, but …HOLY CRAP LOOKIT ALL THE AWESOME TRUE BLOOD PREVIEWS!!!! Okay, it’s officially… well, somewhat out of my system. And there are definitely some great moments here too. The first one might just be my favorite. Jason Stands Up for Sookie That’s right, you undead douchebags! “Fuckin’ Sookie!” …
True Blood – Season 4 – Burning Down the House A lot went on this episode; some sad stuff happened, and a particularly unpleasant discovery was also made about Marnie and Antonia. There are now only two episodes left, and things are getting pretty tense. Bon Temps hasn’t devolved into total chaos yet, but it’s …
I dunno about you guys, but I have been waiting for someone to finally confront Andy about his V-addiction. You know, aside from Jason’s goofy ass. He had his own problems dealing with V, so it’s not like he’s in a position to be much help. And although he did kick the habit, well.. Jason …
True Blood – Season 4 – Let’s Get Out of Here There are three episodes left after tonight, and phew! Sookie almost died in this episode. I mean, we all know there’s no way Sookie can die, because the show is about her. This isn’t American Beauty, for god’s sake. Anyway, she can experience torture, …
Not literally ‘under fire’, like, being shot at (although Hoyt does come pretty close). They’re all just in very stressful situations in the next episode. But if they weren’t, then what fun would they be? It looks like several issues are coming to a head, while others are still building up like tropical storms off …
True Blood – Season 4 – Spellbound Is it weird that part of me already misses True Blood? The season is winding down, and there’s been great action, but … it’s just so damn short. There are only four more episodes. They better make them damn good. On the flip side, I have noticed that …
The next episode of True Blood looks good, but from what I’ve seen, this is where people start drawing lines in the sand, and joining sides. Not everyone is going to stay true to those sides, is my best guess. There’s always someone towards the end, making a last decision, and adding a straw to …
True Blood – Season 4 – Cold Grey Light of Dawn Is this the episode where someone dies? Gasp! Well, yeah, like one minor character. There haven’t been any big deaths yet, just that one chick that was spying on the Wiccans for Big Bill. That does not mean I want any main characters to …
There are less videos than usual this week, –less by half. Apparently, once again, they’re getting lazy back there. Well, it’s about mid-season, and everyone is getting all, sure of their ratings. Why be consistent, when you can just throw us a couple of short videos…. instead of the usual four we look forward to …
I do! I mean, it’s been with us for four years now, and it’s pretty damn awesome. It’s teeming with metaphors for undead living, –and living with the undead, –so why isn’t there more information that what there already is about the coolest introduction for the most awesome show out there right now? Sure, we …
True Blood – Season 4 – I Wish I Was the Moon For some reason, there’s no video recap from HBO tonight. Sounds like someone’s fallen asleep over the controls. Oh well. It was an exciting episode, although it felt to me more like a building up; there were a few big events, but no …
Rather than a series of three, super short videos of peeks into the next episode, this week they’ve released one long video that shows some of what’s going to happen over the next few weeks. We are, after all, almost halfway through the season. The figurative shit is going to start hitting the fan, –as …
True Blood – Season 4 – Me and the Devil This episode was really focused; it didn’t have the scattered effect that so much of last season did. And also, no damn faeries showed up in it. It was a great episode, I was happy throughout! But, there were still some strong feelings, –but first, …
