Let us not forget the Bert and Ernie matching dressing gowns! I'm with you, I'll wait for parts of it to be on Youtube. I can't believe that Alan Ball fucked up the 4th book so badly.

It's back!!! Alan Ball must be gone already, because the show was good and looks like a promising season.

Nope, AB is not gone yet. He's still showrunner for five but will step down for 6. [probably the last] He'll still exec produce, though.

Ah, thanks. Well, then surprise surprise, I thought it was good.

"We fight like siblings, but fuck like CHAMPIONS!"

So thrilled that old-fashioned incest will continue on HBO after Game of Thrones.

I liked the episode, thought it was a great kick start to the season. I'm gunning for an Alcide/Sookie pairing, though fully acknowledge that Sookie is a huge pain in the ass. Super pumped about Tara being Pam's child. That is AWESOME!

I was actually surprised at how good those two episodes were. I love naked Eric OMG. So, Sookie is still making demands and fucking up everyone's lives. Lovely. I wish that there was a way to at least replace that damn actress.

I've only seen the first episode (we're a week behind) but I don't think I'll make it to the end. It was rubbish and I couldn't give a rat's arse about any of these characters now. "Fuck Sookie" - really Eric? And Bill looking all wistful like he wants to rush off to save her but big bad Eric is stopping him. That's so true to the characters as written by Charlaine Harris.

I hate this poor excuse for fan fiction.

**DeChayz** · June 21st, 2012, 10:34 PM

Let's be honest, though - Charlaine's storylines have gotten SO hokey, so anything is an improvement. As long as they don't bring in tiger man (I forget his name, but he called Sookie "babe" ALL the time), I'll be happy.

**faithanne** · June 21st, 2012, 10:45 PM

I kind of disagree, I think her writing is ordinary but the storylines from the books are much better than this tripe Alan Ball keeps dishing up. Charlaine is no Shakespeare, don't get me wrong, but the characters are so far removed from the TV characters it makes me want the ones on TB to all meet the true death. And why does he have to keep introducing all these made up idiots when the books are full of useful characters? I'm just so disappointed with the potential this show had and what it's actually delivered.

This was actually a pretty good season. I really have enjoyed it. I think the fairy stuff is a little hokey, but I guess you really can't do it so it's not hokey.

Poor Jason, I felt so bad for him. Bill is a total douche and I hope he meets the true death.

I f*cking loved the last episode. All hell breaking lose. People dying left and right. Will somebody PLEASE kick Russell Edgington's ass??? Don't just kill him - that would be too fast. Of course, that was the problem last time.

Questions:

1. How do you glamour the entire US Army and government into forgetting that a top general walked into AVL HQ and didn't walk out again? That's a LOT of flitting and glamouring.

2. What happened to the misshapen-headed AVL vampire guy?

**Sasha** · August 20th, 2012, 07:29 PM

I don't think Eric actually planned on glamouring the entire US Army and Gov't.

He was trying to get himself and Nora the fuck up out of there. I reckon Eric just doesn't give a shit if Russell and Steve are on TV slaughtering a Frat. The people have a right to know.

**KrisNine** · August 26th, 2012, 10:40 PM

Well, thank god Alan Ball is gone after this...although I don't think they can recover from his dumbfuckery and ruining, what could have been, an amazing series.

**Kittylady** · August 29th, 2012, 02:33 AM

I gave up on the fuckery a few episodes ago and I don't think I'll be back for season 6 as I'm sure that whoever takes the helm post-Ballshit will have been suitably indoctrinated to keep up their Master's vision of awfulness.

It really is such a shame. They had all the source material there, everything built and fleshed out and ready to transfer to the screen but noooooooo! They had to think they could do it better and created a whole heap of steaming kak instead. There isn't any way back now. They've deviated too far from the books and the whole premise of the show seems to be showing as much tit and arse as they can get away with. Personally I prefer consistant characters, consistant storylines and writers who can remember their own mythos from one episode to the next.
