Oh baby baby it's a wild world. I'll always remember you, like a child girl.
True blood 08 - OMG THIS EPISODE WAS 2938389 SHADES OF KICASS AND AWESOME.
1 - RAMBO!JASON. WOOO. I love how he suddenly gets SRS BZNS when people insult his sister or he finds out she's in trouble. it's very cool. and also he took out newline with A PAINTBALL GUN. Seriously after ep 8 Jason became 20982x more endearing to me. I mean before I just found him kind of a joke though I never disliked him. He's hysterical
2- The "trust me" scene with Eric and Sookie? HOT. I was ambivalent about them getting together before that point but now, hell yeah I ship it! (but it's really not the end of the world if they dont become the show's OTP/end game couple. cause honestly there's more to true blood than who is fucking sookie ok people.)
3. POOR SAM. wtf he can never get a break :(
4. I LOVED the horror aspect of this show. I cannot stress this enough. Daphe in the freezer? sauteing her heart and then PUTTING IT IN A SOUFFLE AND FEEDING IT TO EGGS AND TARA? WTFFFF. but so so great. I was like UWAAAAAAAH. the whole time.
5. Eric at the beginning with the dorky southern accent! I LOLed. I LOVE when skarsgaard gets to be quirky or sardonic, he's SO good at it. I LOVED watching him taunt bill. I really want him to kick bill's ass one day. I'm counting down to the point where bill FINALLY pisses off Sookie and Eric takes advantage of it like woah.
This reminds me of this awesome pic where he is making ridiculous faces and anna paquin and stephan moyer are staring at him with WTF? faces. God I loved that, he is too cool for them both srsly.
6. GODRIC. YOU ARE A SEXY MOFO OK? I loved how Godric was the "dumbledore of vampires" (to quote one lj user) he was all tiny and wise. I loved it, the actor they got to play him is hella cute. I hate how much the make up on this show washes out the vampire people. I mean it's really ugly and also clearly not used on everyone since faux cowboy vampire didnt look sickly pale the way moyer, eric and godric do.
7. Lafayette does tarot! I didnt think it was possible but I like him even MORE now.
8. Jessica and hoyt fucking! YAY. Not so yay about Jessica being an eternal virgin now :(
9. LOL Lorena vs Sookie bitchfight! I SO WANTED TO SEE THAT HAPPEN. I am immature I know :( But I love some chaos and discord. Lorena was just embarrassing to watch, in fact both of them were but it was pretty funny I cant lie. I'm just sad there was no Pam :(
10. GAH I LOVE THIS SHOW. I liked the eps before this but I LOVED this one and I'm so glad the season is really getting into gear now.
Also I swear if I hear one more person complaining that the show is not being "accurate" to the book I will CUT A BITCH. Book and TV are totally different mediums people need to wake the fuck up and realize that changes WILL BE MADE. Shit that works in books is not always going to work in film media, these are the facts. Now people can either accept this or stop watching the show and leave the rest of us who DO like it alone. GAD.
Also some brief blabbery about skins which I will expound upon in a later post:
I saw both S1 and S3 so far. and I really prefer the first generation cast. I just felt like they were more developed, more real, their struggles and drama felt more organic rather than manufactured, the writing felt more thought through, character's actions make more sense and in general it just had more emotional impact on me. Plus I loved how they were all friends despite being a diverse group of people.
S3 with the new cast feels more like a trendy teen drama, like it could be any teen show, not skins. Skins was gritty and real and also very surreal at times in fact and had that indie vibe to it. but S3 definitely feels more conventional and there is this annoying love triangle in it that is really the core problem of S3. Cause I did love alot of the characters. I mean wtf love triangle? It's one of the oldest most obnoxious teen drama and soap opera tropes in the book. WHY use it? They could have achieved alot of the same amounts of drama and tension without it.
Anyway, the second generation isnt bad though, s3 cast is likable enough. I just wish they had the same amount of depth, character growth and focus on familial struggles as the first cast did ya know? There's so much drama about this love triangle which to me doesnt make sense. Also the ties of friendship feel very cheap and frail in this drama for pretty much up until the very end, then things get a bit better. I dont know it feels like they are speaking to a younger audience with the S3. and I really didnt hate it but it just could have been SO much better. and after the perfection of S1. I expected more. S3 does have it's high points though and I wanna go more in depth about S3 and S1 in another post cause I could really write several posts about Skins.

sorry this got long
what breaks my heart about S3 is it could have been SO GOOD if they just had put more thought into it and instead they went the easy way and picked up the stuff they thought would get alot of viewers and be ~dramatic~. It's like it's trying to be edgy even though Skins 1-2 WAS edgy but S3 is just an empty imitation for the most part. I did like Naomi/Emily's relationship. I just wish we'd gotten more depth and focus on that instead of the stupid love triangle. I hate it cause it ate up so much screentime that could have been put on developing the other characters and their stories. Not to mention the cook/pandora thing (and how it KEPT happening) was so unnecessary and hard to buy.
