From what I can gather it's because they mentioned me in a Let's Play, and then took it as a personal betrayal that I "troll". And since they can't probate me, they're reduced to passive-aggressive snipes.

I’ve never responded to them. You, however have been doing this same shtick here and the pratchett thread the last couple days. Are you a sock puppet of his or just a fellow mentally ill person?

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

If you're going to play Socratic Method, at least pound back a bowl of hemlock tea.

They did miss an opportunity with this one. He wrote a southern river boat vampire novel in 1982 - decades before that sookie stackhouse poo poo. He should have made the riverboat captain a shy girl of 18 ( who acts like a 13 year old ) whose alcoholic father passed away, leaving her to run the boat alone.

True Blood is a special beast where the seasons with Alan Ball are lowkey good television despite clearly being p high camp from the get go, and then the seasons after Ball left are still enjoyable b/c the world is already so ridiculous that it's easy to not blink an eye at how loving off the wall and dumb it can get.

The last season is the only season I'd say is actually trash. At that point I was only enjoying it for some of the actors, who sadly many of we didn't see enough!!

Also the way things end for Bill is loving hilarious lmfao god it's so melodramatic

e: but ya those books are trash in an entirely different way lmao and not a good one

I thought it was pretty good, but stopped at some point. Maybe around the Faeries? The King of George part? It was kind of cool and scary and a bit campy - but at some point it had just drifted into soap opera territory or something. Gave up before the ending.

I read the book, and could not even finish the first one. I could be wrong, but in the book sookie seems really young and dumb - like 15 or something. In the movie she makes these teenager-in-love decisions that are more appropriate for a kid. If you picture sookie as a 15 year old, she makes a lot more sense as a character.

I guess this ties in with GOfT because the lovely decisions the starks make - are like teenager mistakes.
