I literally just finished the last episode 5 minutes ago and now I have no idea what I’m going to do with my life. Do y’all have any recommendations on a show similar to True Blood?

i’m only on page 60 bc i’ve been busy but so far so good!

i just finished reading the books and i’m so curious to know how others would rank them. i really liked the first seven books but the last few were just fine. i can say for sure that book 4 was the best in my opinion but i am unsure on my ranking after that. how would you rank the books? and were there any plot lines that you weren’t a fan of?

I only made it halfway through book 5 before my audiobook subscription ended. Honestly, I'm not really a big fan of the writing style. I'm not really into first person in general, especially with how the author describes what sookie is wearing, etc. Gives me the same vibe as something I would read off of Wattpad as a teenager.

I still plan on continuing the series though, I'm very interested to see how it differs from the show.

i’m watching true blood for the first time and i just finished watching season 5. I definitely struggled getting through season 5 with all the politics and separation of all the characters (i could honestly go on forever about how much this season disappointed me). is it even worth it to watch season 6 or should i just stop and read the books instead? it pains me to even ask because i LOVED the first few seasons but season 5 didn’t do it for me. Eric and Pam are my favorite characters so i feel motivated to watch season 6 for them but is it worth it?

Been years since I've watched either.....and I just realized that the same guy played Sheriff Dearborne on T.B. and E.B. Barnum on DW, both for HBO....

Hey there--

I am throwing a party (okay, it's my wedding) and the theme is based on the faerie realm. I would love to have some Lumeire fruit as decor. I'm guessing it was all CGI in the show right? Anyone have any ideas about how to create a version? And/or know any subreddits for this kind of thing?

​

thanks in advance <3

Doing a re-watch of the series, and Sam definitely could not care less about the condition of his pool table. Putting his brother's bloody body on it, getting down to naked business with Daphne on it. I mean, the latter was good for the innuendos, but any table owner in their right mind would have said, "that was fun, let's move to a booth." Not to mention the condition it was probably in after the Maenad business or the HEP-V vamps.

This one I never understood. A shifter can turn into any animal, including a wolf, so they have a lot more options and are more powerful in that sense.

It also seems in the show lore that werewolves in human form aren’t any stronger or faster than shifters. Sam wins a fistfight to the death with Marcus when they’re both in human form.

I get the angle of a pack being a lot to deal with, but there seems to be some acknowledgment that individual werewolves are dangerous to shifters, and I don’t see how that’s the case. Am I missing something here?

Synopsis: Sookie considers life without faerie powers; Sam locates shooters; Hoyt finds a new group of friends; Alcide prepares for a fight; Lafayette searches for Jesus' body.

He looked his best in the very first episode of the show imo. I wonder why they changed his look... does anyone else feel this way too?

Why does bill get weird in season 3 ?

I am rewatching the series on dvd First I wanna say I love this show its been a bit since I have sat down and actual paid attention to every episode.

Now I understand TV & Movie rules on Nudity and such but it is just so weird to me that a show like this with as much sex that it has in it doesn't show all the genitals of both females and males.

I also understand that it's not necessarily good for people of a certain age to watch these shows but I mean that's the responsibility of parents to shield their kids from things they won't understand.

But I guess what confuses me the most is now that I am 30 and I watch these shows and I understand what I'm seeing. it begs the question why are we covering these parts in particular Vagina and Penis in my opinion are just part of the body 🤔

I also understand if the actor or actress just doesn't want to show that part of their body. after all it is their right to choose what to show so in that regard it makes since why in some scenes you do see full front.

I just thought this would be an interesting discussion, see what everyone else's opinion is on this topic.

Thank you to the ones who read this and join in.

So, firstly a disclaimer. I absolutely love this show. It's pure entertainment.

Recently started rewatching and I had never really picked up on this. The effects of V on humans are so wildly inconsistent that I don't think the writers put more than 10 seconds of thought into it.

The effects range between:

• Healing with no adverse effects, after drinking directly from the source or having it rubbed on their wounds
• Experiencing a lasting connection with the source vampire
• Having such bad priapism from drinking a vial that you're hospitalised
• Hallucinating vividly from one drop, as with LSD
• Immediate addiction and withdrawal symptoms from one drop
• Superhuman strength from one drop
• Long lasting euphoria and loss of inhibitions from one drop, as with MDMA

And that's just from the first 7 episodes of Season 1

Notice that most of these effects never overlap. People don't get high consistently and when they do, they don't walk around with permanent hard-ons, especially in cases where they ingest a relatively massive volume for the purposes of healing. The type of high and whether a connection is made is also entirely arbitrary. Whether someone gets addicted or has withdrawal symptoms is also arbitrary.

It seems like it basically just does whatever the plot/subplot requires it to do in any given episode.

I mean this show doesn't exactly hinge on its worldbuilding, rather its fun drama and comedy and its characters, but still, some effort into consistency might have been nice.

Don't get me wrong, I'll still be rewatching the entire thing and I'm totally on board for the wacky ride that is this incredibly fun show, but I just found this to be quite amusing. What other insane and inconsistent effects have I missed?

Bitch, that is a serious fire hazard.

I've been rewatching the show with my bf and I couldn't help but notice that season 1 Eric has a slight accent as described in the books. He's not nearly as flamboyant, though, and uses a deeper voice than in later seasons. What are your thoughts on Eric's representation?

(If you're going to mention the books then please bare in mind that I'm not finished so I'd like to avoid spoilers. I just finished chapter 9 of the 7th book. The one where they go to the summit.)
