Jason's new Jekyll and Hyde girlfriend is indeed some fucked up shit.
I'm mostly enjoying the exorcism subplot. WTF is going to happen if Tara turns all sweet and polite?
I was officially sick of the Sam/weredog angle like 8 episodes ago. Just show him fucking transforming already.

Aside: The actress who plays Lettie Mae (Tara's mom) is delivering one of the best performances in the show. She's damn convincing and showing serious range thanks to the writing.
definitely hits a chord with some serious issues, i was admiring her acting skills as well |

Actually, I wouldn't mind Tara getting a little polite (for awhile at least). Man, I'm tired of her shit.

So how come we haven't reviewed that "golf" game bill was playing on the wii? My GF let out some major spoilers to me about sam since she read the books. I'll spare you guys.

That was, more or less, the creepiest episode yet, I think?
Man, Erik is fucking cool. Didn't realize he was Stellan Skarsgard's son either. Gee, no wonder...
[edit] Also, a far better choice for Thor than Kevin McKidd.

Trying not to give anything away, but I was really expecting them to tapdance around for a few more episodes. So far the show is progressing very atypically from a normal genre show where you tune in hoping something cool happens, and it never does unless it's a season finale.

Yeah HBO has/had a lot of good shows. But they also have a lot of total crap that's just an excuse to show some boobs (Rome probably the worst example).

There's nothing kind I can say about Rome or anyone who likes it. So let's just agree to disagree on that.

Seconded. I've read Tacitus. I've read Livy. I've read Suetonius and Gibbon's big ass Decline and Fall. I do know Roman history. Now the TV show may have taken liberties with actual history, but I can forgive that. In fact, I have to give them credit for making Caesar, Antony, and Octavian such fleshed out individuals. I can't think of any of those historical figures without picturing the actors who portrayed them in Rome. With that out of the way, I think Pam is probably my favorite character from True Blood. I love how her "off work" clothing is an understated pink sweater while her work uniform is dominatrix gear. |

Eh maybe I should have used something less contentious. Just saying not everything on HBO has been wonderful. The "It's not tv, it's HBO" slogan is often justified with some tits and profanity and little else. Not everything on the channel is a David Simon or Larry David production.

We're just fucking with you (I think?). You're free to your own opinion. Even if your opinion sucks. That out of the way, I'd agree that HBO has had some duds, but Rome is the last I'd put on that list. Secondly, their more shallow/gratuitious stuff is still better than network stuff for the most part (personally, Entourage isn't a favorite of mine...nor is Sex in the City.. but they're still more interesting than the majority of network TV). And if you were to really talk about pointless gratuity, that'd be Cathouse or Real Sex. And big deal. You'd have to be a fag to not like em. Are you a fag? Huh? Huh? And hell, not even that... I think there's at least some stuff for fags in Real Sex as well. Anyways.. Rome doesn't fall anywhere near that category. That shit is deep, man. A damn goldmine. |

HBO has produced my favorite series of all time, The Wire.
Rome just might be second.
I am enjoying the shit outta true blood for now.
Entourage is fading but is worth the 25 minutes a week.
Band of Brothers anyone?

Loving the series enough to pick up the books trouble is I am now way past where the show's at. Easy fun read though.
Pam can suck me dry any night of the week.

FIFY Stephen Root hasn't been the Comic relief I was expecting either, but has actually impressed me with acting ability and range. Also, I saw the Sam + dog shit after 2 episodes and haven't read the books. |

There was a scene in one of the earlier episodes that showed Sam and the dog together, so I was a bit confused by that - I wonder if it was a mistake or if that's some other weremutt.

Yeah, that threw me, too. The last scene was one of the best thus far (only topped by the shock of granny's murder imo). I lol'd.

When I saw him with the dog I thought it was a familiar too - but the last episode seems to indicate he *is* the dog, or maybe they can swap places. |

Well that was pretty anticlimactic. "I'm a shapeshifter."  Now what were you going to say? |

Did any of you guys listen to the part where he said he needs the dog around in order to use him as a template? Specifically when Sookie was talking about how she used to rub his (the dog's) belly.

Two episodes left in the season, so time for things to start getting wrapped up. Also, poor Eddie.

It's a bit odd she never picked up the werewolf's thoughts before, you'd think they'd be a bit strong, especially when he's around someone he wants to kill or someone who's grandmother he had killed.
Yeah, Eddie. Was starting to like him, a true american vampire, sit around watching the tube all day forever. That girl is starting to grate, but I bet it's because this is the first ep she didn't bring out the girls.
Magister from the Inquisition was awesome. I totally didn't expect that.

I thinks they covered this by saying she's had to quit all her previous jobs because she read her bosses' minds. She doesn't do that anymore. |
