Quick Thoughts on the True Blood Season 3 Premiere
Jennifer K. Stuller on June 14, 2010 in Uncategorized 3 Comments »I’ve been as giddy as V-junkie for my fix of HBO’s vampire series, True Blood, and last night’s Season 3 premiere soothed the savage fangirl.
The series, loosely based on Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse series of novels, and directed by Alan Ball, burst forth last night with everything I love about this show. (Minor Spoilers.)
Humor:
“Conscience off! Dick on!”
“Hell hath no fury like a vampire queen broke!”
“I’m sorry you fell in love with a serial killer, all right. But honestly, who here hasn’t?”
Gratuitous Fan Service:
Naked Vampire Eric.
“See anything you like?”
Even MORE Gratuitous Fan Service:
Dream sequence with shirtless Vampire Bill and Sam Merlotte in which a shared shower is discussed. (HoYay!)
“We’re gonna have a nice time. I hear the water in Arkansas is… very hard.”
Lafayette:
He’s nothing short of awesome.
“Do everybody a solid and instead of looking up at a God that let all this sh*t happen, you need to keep your eyes on your f*ckin’ daughter because she ain’t right to be alone.”
Pam:
Her sarcasm is sublime. (And she’s a series regular now!)
”I don’t know what it is about me that makes people think I want to hear their problems. Maybe I smile too much. Maybe I wear too much pink. But please remember I can rip your throat out if I need to. And also know that I am not a hooker. That was a long, long time ago.”
Jessica:
A brilliant addition to the television series. (Harris has said she wishes she’d thought of her.)
And of course, gross-out gore, intrigue, over-the-topness, and melodrama. Plus, the promise of werewolves.
For your pleasure – Lafayette recaps the first 2 seasons in under 5 minutes.
