Yeah the books are written in first person and it's this really painful stream of consciousness style that seems like a teenager writing it. I don't think the writer is very literate tbh so good on her for getting a good TV show out of it.

And a bad one that I love anyway. Watch Midnight Texas yall

My favorite part of the series finale of True Blood was Bill sacrificing himself to save Sookie from attracting more vampires....just for her to not use her powers making his sacrifice worthless. Then she winds up with some bearded guy.

Hoyt was the best part of that show. And no one still cares about Eggs.

yah in fact one of the main reasons I even started True Blood when it first aired was due to it being the dude who made Six Feet Under lmao

That is neat. I've never payed attention to the authors.

The only true Catwoman is Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, or Eartha Kitt.

TBF creating/producing and showrunning take a lot of skills in addition to writing, moreso if you make one and a half great TV shows while doing it.
Which is why he's notable.

Almost like our friend Georgie who did some stuff in the late '80s then late '90s and since then...

Six Feet Under was great, but I could not even get through the first episode of True Blood. The guy vampire turbo pistoning some woman and hissing at the camera made me roll my eyes and turn it off.

On topic, GURM is an absolute fucker and the TV show ending is the only one we're going to get. What a crazy world.

Also the penis beard was a big lol. :golfclap:

I noped out of True Blood with the 'super vampire erection' plot ending in anything other than slapstick.

Yeah, the whole thing about True Blood for the 4(?) worthwhile seasons is the entirely self-aware schlock. There's a serious-faced line about doing the recycling in a vampire's household.

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.

Whoaaaaa, Buffy was five solid seasons of teen drama. And no more.

Whenever you think of Buffy, always remember that Joss Whedon used advantage of his position as producer to cheat on his wife, and tried to justify it to her by claiming it made him feel like a rapist god.

You missed the punchline because Jason can't commit to anything and within like two seconds of connecting with that girl he ruins it following his dick around some more

Except Whedon's oeuvre from Buffy to Firefly to Avengers is exactly what you'd expect from a self-pitying vermin: smug, quippy approximations of heroism.
