True Blood, Doctor Who and Hello
Greetings and salutations...!
So:
True Blood continues to be somewhat excellent.
The excellent: I love Eric. I love Eric walking Sookie home and calling her Miss. Stackhouse (and on the same night she called him Mr. Northman). I love them flirting, like they can't help but doing. I loved Eric and Layfayette, being so very awesome in a scene together. I love Pam, though she was in short supply this episode. And I loved the Jessica and the Talking Head moment.
I still don't know why we must see Sam's family. Boring, icky, and the man has better stories he could be part of. Just saying.
I'm pretty eh on Tara at the moment (I think she wore me out).
I liked Alcide, though the whole club thing was one scene I wish they'd played closer to the book. For me, Alcide was never so fantastic as he was in Book 3 and he only got worse from here, so I'm hoping that he gets to be wonderful in the series before he gets less wonderful. And why in the world did Sookie think that being all up in everyone's face is the best possible way to find out what she needs? Girl's a telepath! Have a drink and read some minds, girl. It's called subtlety.
I still don't understand why we have so much Bill! And so little torture. Freaking Bill Compton. I was neither very excited for nor very disturbed by the Bill Sex Scene. I was angry, angry because so typically Bill. I hate that he gets the reputation for being the good vampire to Eric's bad vampire, when he's nothing but an abusive bastard. Bill often responds to frustrating situations with violence and then brushes it off like, I couldn't control myself... blah, blah.
Though I think I like Lorena more now.
And then I DID IT. I watched the first three episodes with Eleven.
And... so far, I seem to be alive. I even enjoyed them! This is good. This is very good. I hope to finish season 5 in the next three days.
And, and hello to my new LJ friends!
