Re: True Blood (TV series)
 
My wife & I have just watched ep7 from S1, were both hooked. To say its something different is a bit of an understatement. I brought the first 2 books for my wife as she is an avid reader & I'm already half way throught book 3 (audio) Although the timeline from the series doesnt always follow the book the overall substance remains the same, if you can get the books then do, they are better than the series and considering the series is excellent that'll make the books so much more enjoyable.

I shant divilge any forthcoming events but needless to say the series is in for a long ride on TV.

Also I have aquired the OST for the series and its "pretty darn good" (in my southern Louisiana droll)

At least if she is reading you will not get asked "Are you finished yet".

Although I started this thread, I've only just worked my way through the whole of season 1 & season 2 in the past week.

Absolutely love it, even though I find Sookie herself rather irritating.

Season 2 is coming to FX in February, & C4 some time after that.

Jason's great. Some of the stuff he comes out with is classic.

There was a great Jason-ism at the end of season 2:

"It's like they say: If a tree falls down in the woods, it's still a tree ain't it?"

A great series, but have I missed an episode or was there some editing for the UK audience here:

Terra was in the posh lady's house. Her phone was taken, then we saw the lady studying a pig and shaking. Terra seems to be in the process of being set up for something nasty. Next we know, Terra's turning up at the bar.

Do I need to buy the DVDs?
