I've watched that, have you seen the Halloween episode yet? If so/when you do, does it remind you of I Only Have Eyes For You? Or was that just me? I mean Buffy is a bit more grim and gritty, and has wasps, but when I saw it I couldn't help wondering if the Buffy writers had gotten some inspiration there.

Haven't gotten to the Halloween episode yet but I was watching the commentary to 6.01 Bargaining the other day and Marti said she was basically trying to write "My So Called Life" with vampires.

I love True Blood! I watched S1 when it first aired, and I was hooked, I love the mystery and suspense and how each episode always ended on a cliffhanger, or weird moment. S2 just gets better and better too, it's awesome! I just love the different take on vampire mythology, while it stays true to the roots of it, but the gore and explicitness is a bit hard to take sometimes. It's still a great show, though.
Did anyone see either Southland, Harper's Island and/or The Unusuals this past season? They were all new shows I got into, I'm just wondering if anyone here also happened to watch them.

i've watched the first 6 eps of true blood and I'm really digging it.
i love the sweltering loosiana swamp thang, the sordid innocence of it all.
i cant stand what happend at the end of episode 5, and the amount of blood on that kitchen floor, so at this stage i'm really hoping for that character to somehow reappear as a vampire because i cant stand the idea that i'll never see them again. i'm still not sure of how the mythology works though so i might just be hoping in vain
as you can see im already emotionally entangled and im glad to hear season 2 keeps on giving

Yes, it really "felt" like IOHEFY. Makes me wonder also.

MSCL is awesome and I just learned that it's now on Hulu. I had been introduced to the show by a high school English teacher who was the advisor of my high school's literary magazine. (Anyone want to guess which episode he introduced me with?) I was so hooked that I bought the set, of course back then it was slim to none on extras. Haven't gotten the new set.

I just saw the same :).
I like TB so far (just finished ep 3), but don't love it yet. It's a bit slow-starting. Most of the characters are likeable (and Tara is lovely!), and I don't like the vampire look. It just looks silly, especially with the 'evil trio'.

I found TB to be a bit "cheap" in the drama department but entertaining. A "romp"

The way vampires die (assuming Longshadow's death is typical) is quite spectacular.
