...

After the first few shows I thought it Hung was going to be pretty good also, but I've been pretty disappointed after that. I might watch it on demand if there is nothing else to do, but it's quickly fading off the show I watch list.


Me too, but HBO hit another home run with the opening theme song.

True Blood has been great this year.  Way better than last year. 

I like Hung a lot too.  It's gotten better as the weeks have progressed.  Last episode was the best yet.

Agree about the theme song (The Black Keys - I'll Be Your Man).  Very cool.  So I checked out other songs by them.  Another one that totally kicks arse in my view is I'll Set You Free.  I like the studio version the best, but here's a decent live performance:

First of all there is Mad men on as well as Entourage. If you just watch it for the nudity you might as well just watch **** on your computer. I think it has a great plot and is a well written show.

Alright, finally caught up. I had stopped at around episode 4. This season has been an nonstop orgy fest.

Anyways, season finale is tomorrow, so if you're a bit behind, now would be the right time to catch up. Who's up to date?

Just watched the finale, and I thought it was a really good episode. Any of you watched it?

I thought they did a really good job closing the current arc early in the episode, and spent a good portion of the time dealing with the aftermath and setting up the next season. Too bad it ended in a cliffhanger.

I love this show.  I never watched Buffy or any of those shows because I know they couldn't do the vampire thing the right way.  True Blood does it the right way.  The best vampire story since Interview with a Vampire.  I never saw Twilight.  It seems like teenage girls love it so I imagine it being more like Buffy than True Blood.

Buffy was a good show. Hard to compare with True Blood considering that True Blood is on a premium channel, which allows it to be more explicit and violent.

I thought Twilight was alright, surely not for everyone and certainly a lot of romantic/emo cringe worthy moments.

Buffy is not for teenage girls though, it's more directed to a male audience, but certainly still appealing to a female audience.

Who do you guys think kidnapped Bill? Obvious suspect is Eric, but I'm not sure about that. Though that the person used gloves should make us think that it might be a Vamp. Maybe his maker? Someone sent by the Queen for some reason since he figured out that Eric is selling Vamp blood?

I don't know, I think it'll be a new player. I don't particularly think it's Eric, and if it's Eric it'll just be so that he flexes his muscles so that he knows who's the law.

Theories?

lol...I really hate those season ending cliffhangers.

I also believe it wasn't Eric. I think however that Eric will use it ultimately to get closer to Sookie.

Also, it would not surprise me that while if Eric didn't TAKE Bill, he probably knew it was going to happen before it did, and may have even tipped off the abductor as to Bill's location.

I think this new season looks really good from what I can tell.
