egads! Torchwood. I so wanted to like that show... But the characters were so friggin annoying... and the man-kissin-man scenes were so obviously gratituous, I just usually rolled my eyes. I thought the writing on there was just bad; and more people needed to die off. Sin --- In scifinoir2@y

I read the books long before the show (and it's spelled Sookie), and love them. The show itself I like but on a different level than I would put the books. A lot of people who have read the books then watched the show didn't like how it deviated in spots. It's definitely not suffering from the bu

Okay, I hear you... but I have to disagree somewhat. True Blood is alot more than the buxom star in love with a vampire cliche. They've thrown in alot more to go along with the common genre themes. The buxom star herself is a mystery, as it turns out Sukky (sp) is an empath. They've thrown in h

I don't have HBO, so haven't seen this. But I too have tired of the "buxom star in love with a vampire" theme. Does anyone remember the likes of "Nosferatu" nowadays? "Angel" and stuff have their place, but i always think back to the original Eastern European legends of the vampyr as a corpse c

I watch it, but it annoys me more and more. Perhaps it the Louisiana locale. I live here and know how ridiculous the background assumptions are. Even K'ville was more true to life. Yarbro would never allow it, but I am hungry for a show from the vampire's POV like her St. Germain character.
