I can't wait either.

 

We're having a premiere party at my house. I need to get a little creative with the food and drink.

post #4 of 209

Eh...loved season one...season two was basically crap.  I'll still watch, but if we get more of season two I'll be out.

You could have True- Bloody Marys.

I was really put off by the end of last season, but I'm kinda excited about S3.

Me too.  The last 3 episodes, once Sookie and Bill returned, were lame so the show really died at the end of the season.  Glad the Forbes storyline is over.  Looking forward to seeing new storylines starting up.

Dunno if this is real or a spoof:-

 

Promo for True Blood

 

But if it's real, dang it's good!

Decent start to the season.  Some really funny moments, actually.  "I hate it when they make it all about race"  In fact, the entire opening sequence was pretty damn funny.

Wonderful, packed episode.

I'm going to have to watch it again, my favorite shot was Jessica, clutching the bouquet of roses from her boyfriend, staring down at her latest kill. It was a great "Tales From The Crypt" moment.

post #11 of 209

I also thought the second half of S2 was really weak.

 

Wasnt sure I was gonna tune in, but ended up enjoying it.

 

Jessica is easily my fav character - but I loved a couple of Jason lines and thought the bullet in the head 3some scene was very funny.

Watching but ambivalent.  Too many characters. Too many storylines.

That's what happens when they elevate supporting characters to lead characters, and keep characters alive who are supposed to be dead.

I tend to agree with the above, the second season turned really messy.  I'm hopeful that they can thin some of this down. I liked how this season began, I thought it was a strong start focused on really the main characters, with the supports providing just that.

 

The 3some bit was pretty funny ;)  Damn that jason, he lucks into all the womens ;)

post #15 of 209

I liked the start of S3, it's a good thing that the ridiculous S2 storyline is complete so we don't have to hear or see any of it again.

 

Tara is still an awful character, but I like everyone else.

post #16 of 209

This show has lost me. Maybe it's to creepy, I saw the second but not the first season, just don't enjoy it any longer.

post #17 of 209

I just wish Tara and her mother were gone.  My only gripe.

So.  We have the "King" of Mississippi.  And he's apparently in league with werewolves.  And he wants to grow his base or something.  And of course, Bill has to kill another vampire(?)  Or will she survive?  Who knows.  This season is actually building kind of slow.

post #19 of 209

Anyone find it funny Sam's bro is a pug?  Jason will follow anything in a skirt, might have a new calling in law enforcement.  Bill and Sookie's subplots are only somewhat interesting on the onset.

I tend to agree with the above about Tara.. unless something gives her character more to do then pout, she should be on the first to fall victim.  (I haven't read the books so ...)

post #21 of 209

My eyes tend to just glaze over whenever Tara is on the screen, I just don't care much for her subplots anymore.

post #22 of 209

One problem with Tara is that she is just a loud mouth character.  Just STFU already.

 

I don't know exatly what Jason said after he tackled the drug dealer but it was flippin hillarious.

 

"I got me a drug dealer."

Whenever I see Tara on the screen I'm reminded of Artie Lang yelling "wahhhhhhh"

post #24 of 209

Tara's life has been miserable and Eggs (who was a turning point for her life) was killed about 2 or 3 days ago so it would make no sense for her to be a pleasant character. No, not everyone with an alcoholic parent turns out to be a complaining whiner but I'm sure there's plenty who do turn out to be extremely bitter people (like Tara). At the very least, it's not like she's crying that she can't get the new iPhone or that Twitter is over capacity too much.

post #25 of 209

The gourmet blood meals were amusing.  I had to laugh at the Blood IceCream

Jessica continues to be the most interesting character to me.

 

Oh and nice to see James Frain coming on the show. Hes great in everything he does.

Better episode than the first.  Werewolves seem underpowered.

post #27 of 209

I agree with the werewolves. If Bill can take out several werewolves with seemingly little effort and Eric is on a completely different power level then there really is no tension whatsoever. What I really want to see is how strong the King is since apparently he is the oldest and most powerful, physically, of all the vampires.

In his state.  Apparently, there is a king/queen in each state.  So, the "King" of Mississippi would be a match of sorts for the Queen of Louisiana.

post #29 of 209

Werewolves do seem underpowered so far, however, I assume if they are doing work for the King then they may not be that high on the food chain. 

post #30 of 209

As an aside, I've always wondered if older vampires are stronger because vampires get stronger with age or because the blood used to make them was less diluted back when they were made.

 

If they're the same age/generation, I'd say the King is stronger than the queen due to the male/female factor.

 

The werewolves do look a little wimpy here, as opposed to the man-beasts from, say, the movies Werewolf, Underworld, and Twilight (among others). Here they literally look like mostly-normal wolves.

 

Lafayette continues to be a joy to watch.

 

I wonder if they'll ever explore Sookie's makup/power beyond reading minds. Why does she have something Jason doesn't?
