I’ve been watching the episodes on line, and the show is strangely addictive even those accents are not Louisiana accents. They sound like they’re more from Mississippi or somewhere.

Hello everyone, love that people are raving about the show…..here’s a link where I view the show myself:

http://www.fastpasstv.com/

Here you can watch the show for free and whatever else is posted there – some pretty good stuff. I love the show and have been a trufan from the very beginning. Interesting things I’m hearing about Sam tho – it’ll be interesting indeed to see how his character turns out. Love Tara and Lafayette……I fully enjoy seeing both of them in this show. Cant wait until next Sunday – need my dose of TRUE BLOOD. For those who plan to use the site that I posted, just type in TRUE BLOOD in their search and all episodes should pop up.

I love love love love this show! I am so hooked. I love tara she is my favorite character, and I like the way she because she reminds me a “real black girl”. meaning yes she is sassy and out spoken like most black women are but she also has a gentler side, that you see when you watch the episodes… and for the girl who said that sookie brother is no ot she is tippin! in conclusion the show is the best thing on television right now because it it different and not all about highschoolers and money. It’s dramatic, unique, and will definitely be on at my house every sunday!

what do you expect when a white man is writing the script? I still like the show. Although, I don’t understand why there’s so much sex in it. I am more of a Heroes fan.

I’m in LOVE with this show. I must say for everyone who was offended by the characters on the show; I think you are missing a much bigger context.

I find this show to be more about Social Commentary and stereotypes than a true portrayal of individuals and ethnicities.

Look at the issues being dealt with – social integration for vampires, civil rights, and the percieved perceptions by the locals, etc. These aspects of the show simply relate to viewers how screwed up our country is when it comes to social issues. Once you look at it in that light, the stereotypical portrayals don’t matter much.

I like the show, but the exaggerated Southern stereotypes get old at times. I grew up in Monroe, LA, a city that lies 98 miles east of Shreveport. Both cities are mentioned prominently in the story. Yes, you can find people who fit some of the quirks displayed on this show, but that’s true in any place in the country.

Tara’s character is more like many young sisters at home than I’d like to admit. I like the way that the scripts are building her story slowly over each episode. As for Lafayette–crazy on a stick…

My first time commenting on your site EVER. First off I love the site. Second I re-ordered HBO just so that I can watch this show. I loved the ads that they had in NYC which got me intrigued. So far the acting seems to be overdone but I still like it. The Black dude cracks me up.

I like the show.. at first I did not like Tara..but it seems like her character is getting more complex. But I can’t stand her attitude… and her gay cousin gets under my skin..why are the only two black people on the show like this??? Even that black vampire has a serious attitude.

Thanks Jazzy Melanin, I’ve been meaning to pick up Fledgeling for a while now.

And also, since it seems that you like werewolves too (I totally dig them, even more than vamps. Everytime I see Underworld, I root for the Lycans), pick up “Lonely Werewolf Girl” by Martin Millar, if you’re not already familiar with it. It’s awesome! Such a fun read!

And Devon, thanks for the surfthechannel link, I’m goin to use that since I haven’t had cable since The Sopranos went off…
