HBO's True Blood...did anyone watch dat shit?

That screen shot is from the pre-air, H-Funk. Brooke Kerr was replaced with Rutina.

Thanks, bro.

I haven't watched the series yet. Live in Canada. Gonna check it out in the linkage soon enough. I emailed it to my mom last night (she was also a fan of Six Feet Under) and her reply was - "That Alan Ball's an interesting guy. Disturbing show ..." - haha.
 
Since John from Cincinnati.

Some of the show was cool but for the most part it fuckin sucked.It already has the cliche normal chick loves a vampire role.And that's taking up the whole series.I ll try a couple more episodes though.

I though the vampire bit her and turned her into a vampire? didn't he beat her up?
 
I liked it. The black chick was ok, obviously her acting that way is a defense mechanism. That shit had me dying when she slapped her boss. She softened up a little bit in the second episode and I think she'll be a little bit more interesting as the show goes on. I think the original girl from the screener would've been better because she had a better accent.

I don't think it's all that slow either. So far we've learned that Bill is relatively young for a vampire and doesn't have all his powers (and from next week's preview there are vampires stronger than him that he has to bow down to), he's from that town.

We also see that Sookie has problems with being a telepath and that she really can't date a regular dude because she knows what they're thinking. Plus we learned a little about the other characters too.

I don't see it as slow, two episodes to set up the plot and the villians are introduced at the end of the second episode? That's not slow at all.
 
I like the Rattray's, but i heard they got killed off in the last ep.

Rattray is a hot last name! :D
 
Love the concept, but the black characters........??????????



Why does the one Black Man have to be gay? Also, did you peep he went to the party and all the other Black Men were cool with him? Bumping his ass on dude she said was straight !!! I was like , "wtf???" :smh:

Her character is loud and evil.........until the main white girl's brother (white dude) shows up, then she's calm and smiles with batty eyes. :confused:

Let me know if i'm looking to deep.

I saw it last night and I felt the same way.
 
Sam is only one of dozens of black male actors who get to play "ignorant, hoodrat" roles (and get praise for it). Black actresses (in regular series) ONLY get to play saints. Nothing wrong with playing a colorful, crude character for a change, just like the white actors and actresses get to do.

Again, I ask, why do you care? You are not black. Why don't you concern yourself with your people and let "us" concern ourselves with ours?
 
after 2 eps...pullin the plug on this one...series are hit and miss since the sopranos went away...that's the nature of the game. hbo is gonna take an l on this one
 
I've been pleasantly surprised at how much I like the show. The Wife, too.

BUT the worst Southern accents since "Jason's Lyric". I really wish actors put more effort into learning Southern accents and dialects.
 
it's still early... so i'm going to give it a chance... but i don't know yet... i'm so tired of the ving rhames imitation gay black dude, who also just happens to be connected to everything and can get a gay blow job, the newest high tech drugs or open your website... that black girl's character is also wearing a little thin... might not be the best written show in the world but may pick up steam later on...
 
i wanna see vampire fuckin....
the black chick annoys me her character is weak n over the top the chick they had in the original pilot was better.
the boss hit the black chick? damn....
i'll give it a chance the accents piss me off tho...
 
That gay black dude is so unnecessary. I mean he's gay for no reason and shit. I hate how shows do that shit. Just throw gayness into a show just.....man I don't even know why. I guess its to get gay viewers to watch?

I'm likin' the show though. The black chic's character is tolerable now. After that first episode I was just like WTF. I'd like to know where exactly they're going with this story though but i'm feelin' it. Not must see TV yet but i'll check if there's a download

HBO seems to like it. They already renewed it for a 2nd season. If HBO is looking to replace the Soprano's they're just gonna be looking for awhile because there's no show that's going to have the success it had. At this point all they can hope is to just go after different demographics like they're going for and just hope to get more viewers that way.

You must've just seen the 1st episode. You see episodes 2 and 3 and you sort of understand why the black chic acts that way but her's character has toned down some. I guess she just needed some dick lol.

I saw the original then the reshoot then all the eps...her family situation is shitty i get it but she annoys me....n the accent is horrid....
 
I'm surprised y'all haven't recognized the black, female vampire yet.
Its Aunjanue Ellis - Sistah Girl from Undercover Brother.
 
Man Fuck this corny ass show, funny thing is it will win all kinds of awards like that noodle ass generation kill shit. Bring back the fucking wire.:angry::angry:
 
That's bullshit. Cast members often change between the time the pilot is filmed and the start of the actual series. Kerr may have not been satisfactory or may not have been available to continue.

Rutina Wesley is a decade younger and made a solid impact in the Canadian indie film How She Move. She's a well-trained actress, with a good look for the time and place.

The series is another one that obviously deals metaphorically with bigotry, subsituting anti-vampire bigotry for anti-gay, anti-black, and anti-Semitic bigotry.

That's the same shit I was thinking while watching it. I'm catching it onDemand, its alright. I do hate their accents though. but why is she telepathic???:confused:
 
u guys are really reaching with the "dark comedy" thing. everything i have read about it says its a drama. Come to think of it the show would work MUCH better as a comedy , but i don't think that's what they are trying to do. I feel like you guys are making excuses for a stupid show cause HBO rarely misses. This one is like a olden polynice at the 3 point line ... brick

The writer and director said it has elements of a dark comedy, not me. Dont shoot the messenger.
 
It's got vampires in it so I'm in. Downloaded the first 4 episodes on Bittorrent and watched 3 so far. Shit is tight to me. Wasn't expecting that, but I'm a sucker for bloodsuckers. Is that black female vamp the same woman who played Calypso in Pirates of the Caribbean?

Show got me playing this shit again...

After seeing that first episode with at gay ass black dude, that hood rat bitch bartender and that ugly ass white girl playing the lead role, I had to quit on that show.:hmm:
 
I am still debating on this one....

Saw the first 3 with reluctance, the way they end the shows make you want to see the next ep. to find out what happened.

I am not even sure if I will dl the next one...

Debating.....:confused:

thanx for this:yes::yes::dance::dance:
 
I'm pretty damn tired of the gay dude already. I'm not homophobic or anything but this dude messes up the flow of the show with his gayness. It just seems so over the top.
