"Invite Me In, Now."

Friends…I can call you “friends”, can’t I? Friends, one thing I can guarantee you is that if Alexander Skarsgård was standing on my front porch telling me to invite him in, fangs or no fangs, that man would be all up in my house. Bill who? Sparkly vampires where? Shape-what-ers? Which-wolves?

Sookie, girl you open up that door and let in that hot vampire! And save your best friend Tara, because that girl can be suckered by anyone; make sure you stop by to check on Lafayette, because he tends to attract a little trouble too and don’t forget to give Sam a little attention because he’s cute and cuddly.

I guess it’s the season of the werewolf, but I’m still putting my money on vampire.

I am way too excited right now. The wolves look way better than I've come to expect from the recent crop of 'em in telly and film, and Alcide almost matches the hotness I had in my imagination.

Plus Jason's "Santa?" Hee.

grr i guess i have to order hbo now, as this show is the only reason to have it..

Oh Skarsgard, can I ever forgive you for boning Bosworth? Je l'espère...

Anywhoodle, I actually like Bill and Sookie together and wish for Eric to jump on something more interesting. And a little less... Like Sookie.

Also, Joe Manganiello (who plays Alcide), is wherqin' eeeet. Although it looks like he's got a waxed chest (despite the amazing abundance of facial hair!), which bums me out.

Hollywood, you used to love hairy chests, remember Tom Selleck and Sean Connery? What happened to your love? Don't let L'Efron's shininess fool you! Appreciate the chest hair. It's like having a boyfriend with a built in teddy bear!

So Tara's fucking everything up again, huh? Shocker.

I'll sign a petition if Kayanne will. Mmmm, chest hair.

I had to do a double take, but is that James Frain? Thomas Cromwell?

It's like all of my dreams coming true at once.

The last 30 seconds of that trailer.

*sigh*

Bumwee McGee, consider my signature already put to ink.

i didn't need selling but the trailer sold me.

I'll never understand how such trite, badly written and embarrassingly self indulgent twilighty novels were transformed into such a stylish, sexy supernatural drama. seriously, the books are awful. another ugly housewife fantasy of an exciting world of sex and danger revolving around a girl. very much the most pathetic form of apologetic porn. I squirmed with embarrassment trying to read it.

and then the tv show is full of plot and tension and politics and allegory, and filmed in slick high octane fashion. replacing sex starved delusion with sexy. replacing empty placeholder characters with engaging rogues.

true blood is definitely one to add to the list of film that is better than the book(s).

here's looking forward to the season starting up!

Sorry but that was a bit too Twilighty for me. Girl getting fought over by vampires and werewolves - the vampire the girl loves disappears "for her own good"... etc etc. Yawn.

CAN'T. FREAKIN'. WAIT.

VAGINA TINGLE!

I *LOVE* ERIC. LOVE. WANT. WILL HAVE.
And Tara is a goddamn idiot. However Jason makes me laugh until I cry. Santa!? COME ON! /Gob

You're a poophead, idleprimate. I think the books are fun and campy. Granted, Jason, Terry, and Lafayette are way more entertaining in the show, but Sookie is such a wet rag compared to the narrator of the books. Also, the dumbest plot lines (Tara, Daphne, Mary Ann, hippy girlfriend) are not from the books.

In season 1 Eric had the bad hair and wasn't attractive at all. Season 2 he started to show some promise, until he did the redneck act and I suddenly realised that dude looks like Jim Carrey when he smiles. And the "sexy" dream sequences just come across as awkward. Eric in the books is attractive because he's FUN and always trying to slip it to Sookie in a good way, not a staring rapist way.

See, Sookie has no manners. When a nice gentleman is standing on your doorstep, you don't dawdle, you welcome him in and offer him a nice drink.

Oh, the Skarsgard! I visited Sweden 2 weeks ago and there are guys who look like him everywhere - fucking amazing - and the boys know how to dress! Another reason to go and live there, in addition to having the perfect welfare state...
also, is it wrong that I really hoped to run into him there? If I lived in a romantic comedy that would so have happened! Fucking real life!

You're a poophead, idleprimate. I think the books are fun and campy.

Agreed. I do think the show is better than the books, but the books have much of the same mix of drama, societal commentary, sex and humor. The books are totally campy, but also totally aware of it. A triplet named Claude, Claudine and Claudette? Death by lemon juice? Eric telling Sookie he's too big for some? How can you NOT enjoy all that? (And more importantly, how the fuck can you compare that to Twilight??)

i rest my case

Posted by: idleprimate at May 20, 2010 5:30 AM

That's illogical.

I'm interesting. And hot. And willing to accept bite marks.

Just sayin...

I saw a different trailer last week, but it had nothign on this. I'm quivering. You hear me, Eric?

Posted by: Patty O'Green at May 20, 2010 9:44 AM

Seriously. Am i the only guy watching this show?

and Sookie could scrub my floor barefoot anytime....

Posted by: logan at May 20, 2010 12:14 PM

Seriously. Am i the only guy watching this show?

I told you last time: no.

Posted by: Thijs at May 20, 2010 12:36 PM

I watch the show with my husband, and there are plenty of other men watching. Have you SEEN the women in this show? I'm straight as hell, and I'd do Pam for the sardonic smile alone. Of course, she'd probably end me for even suggesting it, but that's part of her appeal.
