Sookie on TV
So I have been awaiting the new HBO series True Blood with mixed feelings. See forever ago Phos wrote about the Sookie Stackhouse series and I decided I check it out. I totally loved the books so I was sort of excited when I heard it was going to be made into a series. Last night the first episode aired and it wasn't as bad as I feared. While Sookie in my mind didn't quiet match the actress they chose the others came pretty close as did the story line. Granted the accents were killing me and I don't remember Tara being such an angry obnoxius woman but Jason and Sam are pretty hot and Lafayette made me laugh. Some of the scenes/talk seem more X-rated than I remember but oh well its HBO I guess.
Now I am awaiting next weeks episode :)

Glad they kept it somewhat true to the book, SciFi did a good job on the Jim Butcher series but then canceled it. crap.
The second episode has a lot less sex in it however I think it goes a long way towards humanizing several of the characters. Tara chills out just a little and we understand the brother a little better but I still don't like him that much.
However I got kinda annoyed when the second episode ended just like the first, with Sookie in danger and in need of rescue.
Think of you often Katy, and love that you visit me eventho I'm such a rotten visiter back, these days. I promise to work on that!
How's things going?
Phos - well thanks for introducing me to Ms Harris.
Jared - you were right about the second episode. I guess they do it to be sure more people turn in.
EC - well i admit I don't visit as often as I should I do read you in my feed reader.
Phos - bummed but still around
thats pretty impressive- i've always been disappointed by a visual adaptation of a book i've read.
