True Blood

- Start date
My wife's American and from the South, and she has no problem with Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer or Ryan Kwanten's accents (who are New Zealand, English and Australian).
She does however hate Rutina Wesley (Tara)'s accent, which always amused me as she's american (granted, from Nevada not the bayou)
Well Tera is the shittest character in the show by some distance. Can't stand her.
Is he hell. Andy, Jason, Lafayette and the Tao of Terry are far more entertaining.
The Jessica and Hoyt romance was also one of the sweetest things i've seen in ages.
Talk about conflicting opinions.
I'll agree about Andy and Jason, they're both hilarious, jason more so. lafayette is good, not great, but good.
I've always disliked Tera, always. She's a whiney, selfish bitch who contributes nothing of use to the show, and I don't see how you can think she was brilliant in series 1, everything she did pissed me off, her and her stupid mum.
Season 2 only:
You really should spoiler tag the Jessica and Hoyt thing, that only happens mid season 2 after all. As for 'sweet', meh, didn't really give 2 shits about them, neither were very central characters and it was just a crappy plot that ran in the background to fill up space. The only interesting part of it was the finale of season 2 when Jessica went off with that trucker guy.
Hoyt isn't a great character, if anything he's far more of a cliche than Eric, a mummies boy rebelling. Seen it all before.

How you can think Eric is a 'wooden cliche' is beyond me, he's the most terrifying and downright entertaining character in the show, and some of the lines he comes out with, i.e:
Season 2 again.
"Mini-humans" in S2 was hilarious.
His relationship with Godric was brilliantly done too, I mean, if anything Eric is the shows most intricate character, one minute he's a cold hearted (scuse the pun) bastard who manipulates people and such, and the next we see the other side to him as he grieves over Godric. Best actor in the show.

Done and change the quote as well.
Line for line Jason wins the season on that. Eric just always has a gormless look on his face, i keep expecting him to suddenly say 'Dude!'.
Eric grieving for Godric just didn't work for me. I'm more convinced by Bills simmering rage, also Bills performance with his maker, was a far better performance than the Eric Godric one.
Bill is the shows most one dimensional character, seriously, he's awful, the acting from Stephen Moyer is awful. He says nothing funny, his voice sounds awful, all he does is go around saying "Sookeh, I am vampire". The stuff with his maker was good, but not because of him, I didn't get a sense of anger from him at all, he was just ... dull. The maker herself was far better.
He's playing a character that doesn't revel in his condition and he does it very well. I admit some of his repeated lines are bit annoying, but when he explodes into anger it comes across as a more feral and fiery anger, whilst Erics seems exactly the same mood all the way through, he just snarls every so often.
Actually i don't know why i spoilered that one.
This thread is a nightmare, I don't dare opening any of the spoilers as I don't know which of them contain info from the book, yet I still want to discuss season 2.
Don't open the spoilers then and put what it is you want to discuss.
By discuss I mean lurking in the shadows observing the rest of you discussing season 2...
I see, well you won't believe the stuff were putting in there, all the juciest bits from the second season.
maybe we should have a TB: Book thread
I much prefer Eric to Bill, Bill is starting to get very repetitive whereas the dry humour of Eric does make me laugh.
Just edited my post, sorry dude. Haven't actually read the book myself, just picked that one part off another place.

Yeah, Bill has a pretty cool accent and all, but his character is ultimately a bit boring and not really going anywhere even though he's pretty much the co-star.
"Sukeeh"
"Sukeeh"
I like the vampire contingent (as in Eric and his posse) and i also think lafayette is a great character. I feel this mary anne story line was made up to give it more freaky sex. The writers must of decided there wasn't enough freaky sex, but it feels a bit too buffy/Angel.
Jason is a great character.
Jason is a great character.
Just watched the episode where he wins capture the flag. The wife of that preacher dude wants to bone him, and to be fair, if i was Jason... i would and have little doubt that he does eventually.
