Day 11 - A show that disappointed you

I know I'm going to upset a couple of people now ... but

Spike and (even) Angel, I get ... one more than the other I admit!
Mitchell, from Being Human, is great
Mick and Josef, from Moonlight, are lovely ....
Damon and Stefan are a great couple of brothers in Vampire Diaries

But ...

 TRUE BLOOD -

Sorry I just couldn't get into that show at all.  I watched 2 episodes and almost turned off half way through both of them ... I know there are fans out ther, but I was disappointed .... sorry to say.

I haven't watched True Blood so I don't know if I like it. Thank God that there are people with different tastes then our own otherwise we would have a BORING Planet.

I totally agree with you. I wanted to like it. I love vampires, so I gave it a chance, but two episodes in and my only thought was that it was typical HBO. Push the nudity, the profanity and everything that is vulgar to the max and who cares about acting or good story. I'm sure it got better over time, but True Blood left a bad taste in my mouth (pun intended), and I don't think I want to sample any more of it. Maybe I'm just a prude.

Oh, and you left out Henry from Blood Ties. LOL! He was decent enough, though I liked the cop better.

See I rather enjoy True Blood but haven't made it through a single episode of Vampire Diaries


But nothing matches BTVS

I'm the same. I couldn't get into True Blood at all. I found that I just couldn't care about the characters. Must say I love The Vampire Diaries - Damon is just so gorgeous to look at and deliciously evil! :D

There certainly is! I am half afraid to say it, but I my love for that vamp is getting up there with my love for Spike! More so in some ways, as he is much more obviously evil at times! :D

My obsession with JM is on the wane... but my love was really for the character of Spike. Damon the character is really gripping me right now. And Ian S is just so damn pretty!

It is still a WIP - got sort of sidelined when I saw a prompt on Spuffy Wonder so posting that story first. Did you ever read Anticipation? If you did, did you enjoy it? :D

How are things with you? Any news jobwise? I thought you must have read it. :D

We have the premise for another collaboration that we may start to write in a couple of months :D

Yes work a little more settled which is good. Norm seems okay - I think I worry about it more than he does. Still do have Em but can't decide whether to keep her or not - will decide by Aug time, so not doing anything hasty.

Glad you feel happy with your decision. :D Sure something will come up soon. x

Sorry TrueBlood didn't do it for you. I found the first two episodes slow but then it took off. Season 2 to me is much better than the first. (Not as much sex, nudity and violence as season 1)

Being Human, and Vampire Diaries are both awesome shows.

I haven't seen True Blood so don't know if I'd like it or not. Like you, if I didn't, I'd be disappointed. Do you like to read? I'm wondering if you've heard of Eric Wilson's "Jerusalem's Undead" trilogy? They're Christian vampire fiction. (Yes, really - I'm not making it up!) I haven't read them but think I'll order them for later this summer when I have a break from school.

If you find them again, let me know! I would definitely look at them.

I haven't watched True Blood yet, but I've been reading the books. I like them but my only complaint is sometimes its a little too rushed and cheesy and lacks depths. Other times its emotional and descriptive. I've heard the show is a lot different from the books, though. I've been reluctant to buy the season until I watch it online and see if I like it.

It took me at least six episodes to really be interested in True Blood. I taped it for Tommy and it slowly grew on me. The second season blew me away. It was much better.

I enjoy Being Human, but I really don't care for Mitchell. I do adore George. Mick from Moonlight bored me to tears. Yet, Josef was really interesting. Damon from Vampire Diaries is quickly becoming a major fav of mine. Stefan bores me like Angel and Bill from True Blood. I just don't care for broody, silent guys like them.

I have seen the first ever episode of True Blood and another random episode later that season.

It really didn't grab me. A few of my friends assure me it's great so I might give it another chance sometime...

They're all saying that because Eric cut his hair and they want him. ;)

It took me a while to get into True Blood, but it was S2 that turned me into a real fan of the show.

I also love The Vampire Diaries and Being Human. I could have given up on The Vampire Diaries after the first couple of episodes, but I'm so glad I decided to give it a chance as I love it now!
