yati | In which there is not really much blood.

My report on True Blood, episode one, in list form!

Moving through creepy road! Yep, you can see it's a distant cousin of countless horror movies.
. . . American Vampire League, huh.
Anna Paquin: I don't think I've ever watched The Piano, but I knew that she had won an Oscar for a role in that film. I remember watching her in Fly Away Home, a film about how a girl took care of a bunch of orphaned goslings. I thought she was cute with the geese. XD
Well, at least the theme song's pretty cool.
And she was in X-Men, right? Paquin, I mean.
Ha. And here's Lafayette. Heh, he's funny. I've decided I like him.
. . . and also there's a lot of sex!
. . . no blood yet, though.
It does not bode well for the series that I'm finding a discussion in a mailing list about the Lymond Chronicles more interesting than the episode. I have set it to pause, and has probably been paused for ten minutes now.
Also, I went downstairs to prepare a grocery list and am only back in front of the computer now. (I should have timestamps for these things -- maybe for episode two, then.) Back to the show!
Sookie, XD, why you so blur one?
Tara is pretty cool. Crush on Jason: not so cool.
It's not that there's anything particularly bad or unlikable in the show, but I'm having a hard time concentrating on it. I keep trying to do other things at the same time.
I also like Sookie's gran!
The boys (in general) are rather cute. Except Bill. Bill is just too pale (yes, I know he's a vampire).
OK, now we have blood. Quite possibly measurable in pints. (And some more sex in the meantime.)
Yeah, girl, go rescue a vampire alone in the woods. Smart move, that. Very smart.
Lulz, there's romantic music each time Bill appears at the grill.
Mind-reading stuff reminds me of The Knife of Never Letting Go -- guys go read that book!
What, no vampire to the rescue at the end?

I shall save the next episodes for when I have the attention span for them!

General conclusion: I, uh, I honestly don't see what the attraction is, but maybe it picks up? I'll give episode two a go, maybe in a few days.
