Have you been watching this? I've been watching this and I've been sorta digging it. If you haven't heard about it short story is vampires have "come out" of the vampire closet. Vampire is the new black. Like black person. It's like Louisiana in the 50s, or yesterday, but instead of "lynch" mobs running after Pappi, they're running after the local vampire, who, in this case, happens to be the hotness.
Sookie is our main character, played by Academy Award winner Anna Paquin, who has mastered a southern accent from her times playing Rogue in the X-Men movies. Now, Sookie can read minds, which is kinda cool, but she never does it to benefit herself, she kinda just happens into other people's thoughts, and they are usually extremely sexual or hateful. Only twice has she used it to anyone's benefit and both times it was to the benefit of vampires. Speaking of vampires, she's getting it on with sexy Bill, played by, who cares, he's hot. I do kinda think I only think he's hot because he's a vampire. I'm a sick bitch. Bill has wandered back to his hometown and has fallen for Sookie, because really, who wouldn't?
But Bill faces some opposition to Sookie's heart, not from Sookie but from her best friend Tara, who is the most interesting character on the show, Sam, her boss and wanna-be lover with his sexy self and just about every other frakin' person in the town. Oh, accept for her grandmother, but oops, grandma is dead, killed by the person who's been killing vampire-lovers since the first episode. Yeah, I don't know either.
Anyway, the show is a mess. Truly, it's a mess. I'm not saying I don't like it, but there is not one consistent character. Sookie is sorta consistent, but again, she doesn't use her never explained powers for her benefit and even after a lifetime of having them, she hasn't learned to hone them, with no real desire to apparently.
Sam is her boss and has been in love with her from day one and who goes into fits of jealousy when he realizes she's given Bill the goods. But, he's never acted on his desire and is seemingly a pu**y when it comes to that. In an ironic twist, he's also a dog. Or, something. Sam slept with Tara because again, like Sookie, she's hot, and ended up barking in his sleep. Weird, but sometimes I dream I'm someone else. Not a dog or anything, but still, in the realm. But, then last week he's seen running naked through the woods. What? I'm not saying I would complain if I saw him running towards me, naked, but still, strange.
This is the only picture of him I found on a quick Google search. Guess we know how he got the job. Again, I'm not complainin'.
Jason, Sookie's brother, is freakin' hot. I would totally do him. Wait, I wouldn't, he's dirty. He basically screws everything in a 50 mile radius except his sister, and vampires. He's also a drug addict, addicted to "V", vampire blood. It's basically like "E", makes you all sexual and gives you hallucinations. Oh, and we found out the little known fact that vampire blood heals you. That's thanks to Sookie getting her ass kicked and Bill saving her with his blood. Anyway, Jason wants to be a good guy, but then every single thing he does is either slutty, bad or stupid. I don't see the point of his character except to make me happy looking at his body.
Really, the only person who is consistent is Tara. Her backstory is interesting, she has a crazy mother who she needs to take care of, she can't love anyone because she really doesn't love herself, she hates it, but she's in love with Jason because he protected her as a kid, and she's sleeping with Sam, because really, who wouldn't, but still can't reconcile with herself that she even wants or deserves to be happy.
And even the characters that are all over the place, they're still interesting, and if I'm going to believe that vampires exist, I guess stretching my mind out a little more to encompass the ridiculousness of some of those people is worth it. Speaking of vampires, I love them. I want them to bite me. So if anyone reading this is or knows a vampire, please tell them to contact me. But I only want a super hot one to bite me, like him...
I miss you Mick.
