Trivia:

Anna Paquin and 'Lynn Collins' are co-stars in the show. Both have co-starred with Hugh Jackman in X-Men movies but even then they didn't share any screen place working in them. Anna starred in X-Men, X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand whereas Lynn Collins starred in X-Men Origins:Wolverine. Hugh Jackman's character had a special connection with both of them. His character acted as a friend, philosopher and guide to Anna's character (she had a slight crush also on him for a while). Lynn played Hugh Jackman's love interest in the X-Men movie.

Sookie Stackhouse: [to Bill about Jessica's family] Please don't kill them!

loving it

so, i read everyone else's reviews. it seems that if you are a Buffy/Angel fan, then you will more than likely loathe this series. otherwise, there's a chance you will really dig it. that is, provided lots of sex, especially really creepy sex doesn't freak you out.

let's start with the credits. i haven't seen credits that i actually enjoyed watching since the end credits of se7en. yes, the credits are weird. and cool.

the acting, look, cast, and score are top notch. the first two episodes left me clearly conflicted. not to be confused with dear departed dexter (another killer series). i was drawn in, turned on. and for some reason really freaked out. all at the same time. excellent.

i just bought the first 3 books...and i'm nearly finished with the first. well done, creators of true blood! well done, chick that wrote the southern vampire series!
