Bite Me

I'm a scaredy cat. I'm probably one of the scariest people I know. I quickly flip the channel every time a commercial for a scary movie comes on. I don't like pulling up next to white vans. I wouldn't leave the house on Halloween if I could help it. I would beat Usain Bolt running from a dog. Hey, it is what it is. I don't ask much of my loved ones. Just respect my fear.

With all that being said, why am I so inexplicably addicted to a TV series about vampires? True Blood is truly in my blood now. Sunday night is a complete waste if I haven't watched the latest episode. Sometimes I watch it twice; just because I think I might have missed something the first time around.

I blame one of my dearest friends (thanks Fred) for getting me hooked in the first place. He was after me for months to watch it. I finally caved in and sat down to watch a recap episode of the first series. Thanks to On Demand, I finally pried myself off the couch about 4 hours and 3 episodes later. It took me less than a week to watch the whole first season. Of course I did dream about Bill that first night. I still do occasionally. Scary guy when he gets upset. Otherwise he's a cream puff.

True Blood is unequivocally the best show on TV right now. It's not really "all that scary" (sure Fred). It might have you looking over your shoulder occasionally though. It's just about the most well-written, impeccably directed and incredibly thought provoking show on television. True Blood is also pure entertainment. So those who don't believe in vampires need not worry. You won't feel like your faith is in jeopardy by watching.

If you haven't checked it out, you absolutely must. There are only 3 episodes left--which I'm completely depressed about. Go rent or buy the first season ASAP. All of the episodes from the second season so far are On Demand. If you don't have On Demand, well, that sucks. No pun intended.
