AB & Me - Ruiners

Aug 27, 2012 07:03

For those of you who didn't notice, I was late and slack on the whole book post, but here it is. I'm committed to the one book post a week thing. And I think at this point, the only thing keeping me to that promise is the reminder of True Blood every week. I'm hoping that my workload and schedule cycle down sometime soon so I can do more than ( Read more... )

you know shit about sookie, ch & svm is not so amateur, tb - omg season five sucks, tb - the other white meat, wimmens the root of all evil, sookie stackhouse - 28, rage against the machine, you think you can write

Despite my best efforts... anonymous August 26 2012, 23:06:33 UTC

...I watched most of this season, or at least I was in a room while a television was tuned to True Blood. I am expecting very little to actually be resolved in the finale. They will rescue the people, whether or not they deserve it or not. I don't even think Russell will die. I think they will hold that off until next season when Warlow? will show up in the first episode, kill Russell for trying to claim what is 'his', and then be promptly staked by Eric, or Bill or something, in an act of true love. Who knows. Maybe he will turn out to be an evil vampire script writer and be killed in the series finale. meta.

I think the problem is at this point that they've done nothing really, so I don't care about anything. Whatever will happen, no one will be truly in danger apart from the general idea of women as valid beings.

I would love that. Mr. Minty just *hates* the ads for Nurse Jackie, so when I explained that Mark Hudis wrote that, he looked less enthused (if that's possible at this point) to be watching it all next year too. :D

Just watched the finale of tb. You said you didn't mind spoilers. So here goes...Russell Edgington gets staked by Eric. Maurella has 4 fairyettes and Holly delivered them. The authority is raided and they get everyone out except maybe Sookie and Eric-that's the cliffhanger. Bill drinks the lilith blood, dies then rises up out of the pool of blood as Mr. Lilith to chase S & E. I said a hell ya for aboutone second. I actually enjoyed this episode. Oh yeah, Luna maybe died. Sorry to all if you don't do spoilers.

you forgot Alan equating labor to orgasms. Lots of orgasms.

Yep, you read that right.

Without even breaking a sweat. No fairy fertility problems in True Blood either.

Just one bit of correction though, Papa Herveaux who will be henceforth be known as the awesome T2, is in Jackson. There was a sign on the road when Alcide was driving pointing to Jackson so that's how we know he's back in Mississippi.

Re: terielee peppermintyrose August 27 2012, 19:48:49 UTC

Lol - that's almost as bad as the books that told me labour would be "a discomfort". Yeah, right. That's said by someone who's never been through labour.

Oh - of course. See, this is how much I care. Is Jackson really dry though? Don't they have issues with humidity and rivers there too? I don't know. I'm married to a farm boy, so I'm used to digging being given some welly. Alcide is a terrible digger. For all those muscles, he'd fail farm work hard.

Re: terielee finiteanarchy August 28 2012, 01:53:43 UTC

I don't *think* it's dry. It's the delta state and has a lot of farmland which tells me the soil's good and has good amount of rainfall for different crops. And it's definitely humid there.

Oh yeah, poor Joe M. - He's such a gym bunny. I can't imagine he's had much reason to go near a pickax or shovel.

I've been mulling around this fun little theory in my head. It's been making me laugh. I'm thinking Lilith is incorporeal and therefore incapable of actually doing anything (especially if she's some weird hallucination) - kind of like The First, from Buffy. So it's really all the minions who do everything. Now that it ended with Bill turning into that (or some semblance thereof) I think I would find it utterly hilarious if it turned out he's become completely incorporeal and can't do anything without minions.

Some things just need to be experienced personally to appreciate the specialness of it all.

PS - Nora knows of Warlowe (in bonus on hbogo.)

And yeah, Andy's not the only one that's a dick.

Re: terielee peppermintyrose August 27 2012, 19:50:12 UTC

Lol - they do. Otherwise how else would you encapsulate the total shittiness of the whole thing.

Oh, I'm sure she does. She's done nothing all season but be a vehicle to show off Askars arse, so I'm sure next season she'll have to have a reason to be included.

the_real_e_f_m August 27 2012, 07:15:21 UTC

I LOL that Mr Minty can sum up TB in five words. LOLOLOLOL
But you win the star prize for giving me 'Turdcoats' ;D

I watched the HBO Inside the Episode piece on the season finale. I'm thinking those director/producer guys must be smoking something after hearing their comments about Sookie being 'the centre of the show'. *Snorts* What fucking show are they watching? Then they throw in how Bill is going to be the 'really big thing' next season now he's 'gone all dark this season' and then he's gone 'died and rose again'.

Yeah, yeah. Big deal. Sounds like same old, same old to me. I predict 'Fucking hell. This is stupid.' will be repeated an awful lot on the Minty household couch;)

peppermintyrose August 27 2012, 19:53:49 UTC

It's always coats with me! I have a theme!

Lolwhut? Centre of the show? By standing there doing nothing. Blah blah blah about Bill going dark. He should be about as threatening as Russell is - not actually killing anyone and doing a lot of wandering around in rooms, moralising. These vampires really don't know how to wage war on humans. Needs MOAR killing.

I'm not sure I'm honestly going to watch next season. I spend most of the time playing on the couch with Mr. Minty. If the kids moved out, then it could rival HBO for nudity, but mostly, it's PG. :D

anonymous August 29 2012, 03:33:56 UTC

Well at least it's done here ( ... )

peppermintyrose September 1 2012, 06:51:43 UTC

I haven't seen that bit yet. But I think in the case of TB, it's not the outrage that gets to me, but the boredom. There's no tension in any of the storylines.

Dude - the fairy smelling doesn't apply to Jason because he's got to have an *actual* point to the story other than being chow. And as for Melty face? WE FORGOT ABOUT HIM, REMEMBER? :D So even if he comes around to Andy's to chow down, then it'll be okay, and some good-guy vampire will leap out of the darkness and save them, and get many pats on the back.

Oh, now, sometimes Nora and Eric forget all about logic. Like fucking gets you some thinking time. I personally would have been insulted if someone wanted to think about how to get free while fucking me, but Nora doesn't mind at all.
