Fangtasia's finest

I must admit, I was just totally pwned by True Blood tonight. Without the benefit of viewing the first four episodes that some blogger-critics of the show had, I had no way to smugly sit back and know the truth–and play head games with the fans. If I were sworn to secrecy I could have done it but otherwise I would have spilled.

It was great to be fooled as I indulge in so many spoilers that this foiler had me exclaiming, “It’s not Lafayette!!!” So cool, hopefully for Nelsan Ellis’s many fans that clamored for Lafayette to survive (in some form) are enjoying the payoff . I have my fingers crossed for him because I really enjoy his work, too.

What became of Lafayette is quite scary though and that leads me into yet another foiler that I fell for. The press-released videos and stills implied that Eric was being held hostage. Without elaboration I’m going to admit to being wrong again. This time I sort of went with what I knew from the books. Possibly Alan Ball, shrewd fellow that he is, is tweaking things knowing that some of us who have read the Sookie Stackhouse series are guessing certain things may happen and he can use that and surprise us. So great. I’m doing this out of love–not for money.

I’m proud to say that I didn’t have to wait to be convinced as far more critics than you might guess, that True Blood was/is an awesome show. I am speaking specifically of a critic clique who all appear to have the light bulb come on at about the same time. Posers. LOL! I’m goin’ back and watching it again–this time without my spouse so I can really um, appreciate when Bill and Sookie made up.
