The new season starts tonight.
I wonder if there will be nudity, adult content, adult language and violence?

I like that summation. I (and I'm sure many others) have always said that it's B-grade material done by A-level talent. It's not meant to be anything more than crazy, sexy, weird and violent entertainment and it succeeds completely on that level.joshEH said:True Blood is stranger, dumber, more accidentally deeply-interesting than it ever intends to be, which is why you can't trust all the deep things it's totally not trying to say.
It's a show people will be jealous you got to see the first time around, and everyone who's dissing on now will be bragging about seeing the first time. It's pure camp that's also something else that pays no attention to tiresome things like making sense and having good taste.
I always felt that the writers could never find a great plot for Tara/Rutina Wesley but making her what she hates might be a good one. Oddly, I think I was most interested in Jason and Terry's stories. I'm guessing that Terry is pyrokinetic and it's cool to see Jason grow a little and be bothered by not getting the girl. Also, Steve Newlin saying "I loovveee yyyooouuuuu!" as he was ejected from Jason's house made me laugh.Not a single boring subplot, for the first time in about two years. Though I am pissed that they decided to bring Tara back as a vampire. I was kinda hoping she'd stay dead.
"We fight like siblings and we fuck like champions."(Also, was Alan Ball jealous of Game of Thrones? What's with all the "sister"-fucking?)
Maybe because that is what everyone is expecting, they'll do something different.MarkMel said:"Waaaa, why did you turn me? You should've left me dead. Waaaa"

Just kidding. Of course it will be more of the same from Tara.
I don't think it ever ended. That's been her entire character since the show began.MarkMel said:So the Tara whine begins. - lol
I love that this show pays absolutely no mind to boring shit like making any fucking sense beyond crazy-ass "True Blood" sense; of being remotely realistic, because what could be more boring when you can be colorfully psychotic; of being the only show willing to just GO THERE with a crazy-hot Vampire Queen who plays Yahtzee, exploding vampires, white-trash werepanthers, a cannibalistic Burning Man of evil, fist-fucking hearts out of chests, and you know this is just endless.Jeremiah said:This show should just play to their strengths and not try and bring too many new characters in.
No Tara, less Lafayette, bring Eric and Pam back to form, keep Jason a comedic fluff.
