I think I mentioned this a while ago, but I’m really excited about HBO’s new show True Blood. Not a huge surprise given that I’ve seen every single episode of Buffy, but still, I think it’ll be a sweet show. I’m watching a pre-air of the second episode, and so far the series is funny as hell and (sort of) well-acted. The vampire conceit is a little strained – Buffy was explicitly a fantasy show, whereas True Blood is more fantastical-realism I guess, and it’s hard to be realistic about vampires – but I assume I’ll get used to it.
More importantly, Anna Paquin is hot as Sookie Stackhouse. Honestly, I never realized how attractive she is, but she’s a total babe in True Blood. Let me go on the record: I approve of short summer dresses.
Anyways, the show has some definite kinks that need to be ironed out, but I’m hopeful. Can’t wait to watch it on the new TV – we ordered a 40″ Samsung LCD that should be pretty nice. Hopefully it’ll get here by Friday so we can watch some foot-bawl this weekend
