There Will Be True Blood

The Wire. Sex and the City. Curb Your Enthusiasm. These are just a few TV series that have been popularized on the hip and fresh TV channel HBO. Over the years this station has been pumping out amazing series and last year was no exception. In September 2008, True Blood premiered and unexpectedly shocked and wowed its viewers. The first few episodes were good to the say the least, but as with new series, it took some dedication to get familiarized with the characters and the plot of the show. As the acting grew stronger and the plot became more interesting I can easily say I was hooked. There's fantasy, lots of violence, and sex. Did I mention there's blood. There's human blood and there's an Asian developed beverage called True Blood that keeps vampires from having to kill. I have to say, the Twilight crew would be a lot cooler if they drank this tasty asian creation.

So, it is summer 2009 and season 2 is in high gear. Sookie Stackhouse, played by the new and improved sex-charged Anna Paquin, is living in the not so quiet town of Bon Temps (meaning "good times" in my native language) and dating the neighborhood vampire, Bill Compton. You would think that these two are having some crazy bon temps, but there is some blood boiling that is about to spill out all over the town. Jason, Sookie's brother, has become a member of the Fellowship of the Sun Church and has enrolled into the Light of Day Institute, or more commonly known as LODI. And yes, Lodi Dodi they like to party. They do cause trouble and they are as cheesy as dill havarti. There are also some new fascinating characters that also like to party, such as the mysterious Maryann Forrester and the dim-witted waitress Daphne. Maryann is an unknown being that throws one hell of a party, likes to get busy on the dance floor, and rolls insanely massive joints. Daphne has revealed to have the same shape shifting powers as her boss and Merlotte's owner Sam, which has obviously brouht them somewhat closer. They hang out in the buff and then like to frolick in the woods as animals. Unfortunately, we get to see more of her gross back claw scars then we do of her unseen breasts. Breasts that could give Anna Paquin a run for her boob job money.

Nevertheless, True Blood, seems to rarely dissapoint. OK, the whole Fellowship of the Sun plot is unbearable at times, but you know that the church and vampire war is inevitible. Other than that we are getting crazy sex orgies and blood covered boning thrown at us week by week. Who can complain about that? Also, just knowing that Sookie may be in another nude scene is good enough reason for me to stay tuned.

True Blood will receive 5 Eiffel Towers. One for every erected Eiffel Tower I receive when Anna Paquin shows the goods. Job well done to you Anna! And by job well done, I mean boob job.
