Has anyone watched this yet? The new series from Alan Ball (Six Feet Under) about Vampires and their plight to be treated as equal citizens? Just watched episode one, not bad, it's on the torrents.

aquatic  said about 3 years ago:

fuck yeah! Anna Paquin's in it


LaxCharisma  said about 3 years ago:

Yeah...worth a look I reckon.


tihstar  said about 3 years ago:

Don't think it's out yet... 7th of September... though may be a leak floating around. Trailer looks interesting.


plastic  said about 3 years ago:

watched felon which is ok a little violent with a wak ending


bungle  said about 3 years ago:

All the reports I've heard have said that it's a bit shit.

Which is disappointing.


juicenewton*  said about 3 years ago:

I heard about this last year and was wondering what was going on with it just the other day.......keep us posted.....


ed  said about 3 years ago:

The pilot leaked a few weeks ago, so being a massive SFU fan I had to check it out. Like bungle said, it's really bad.


k2  said about 3 years ago:

awww.


whatwhat  said about 3 years ago:

it's not really bad; it's just not at the same level as six feet under. it's entertaining, and there's so many boosies that you've really gotta wonder whether in the casting calls they just say 'show us yr assets' rather than get em to read for a part.


STEWSTER  said about 3 years ago:

where's richie ramone?


sukieD  said about 3 years ago:

I like this show!

But then again, I was one of the people who thought Six Feet Under tried too hard to be quirky...and I do like trashy television...so maybe that has something to do with it...


pking  said about 3 years ago:

nothing wrong with liking it sukieD.

i've been enjoying it too (i'm up to episode 8)...aside from season 3 of dexter its the only show i'm really getting into at the moment.

for the record i've never watched six feet under or buffy.


bungle  said about 3 years ago:

I downloaded the first four or five episodes, I can't really be bothered getting any more. it's ok.


losgauchos  said about 3 years ago:

Has this show picked up at all?


whatwhat  said about 3 years ago:

do you like boobs?


losgauchos  said about 3 years ago:

Only on vampires..


juicenewton*  said about 3 years ago:

Just started watching and yeah its a root fest. I quite enjoy it's trashiness and that it takes itself a bit less seriously then six feet. Some excellent side characters (Rene, lafayette etc..) Will keep watching for sure......

Also pretty weird that Anna Paquin got her start as holly hunter's daughter and is now exactly like her.....


thenewmeatloaf  said about 3 years ago:

got the first series a few days ago, watched the first four, loving it so far.

Hadn't seen Anna Paquin in anything since The Piano. Damn, when did she get so hot? And that Southern accent only makes it worse.....

I haven't watched this season at all. Can't be fucked downloading it.

Alan Ball signed my boob the other night though.


Wonky  said about 8 months ago:

I am so over Sookie, and her precious fairy vagina, and unbelievably stupid name! Fuck Sookie!


zeroman  said about 8 months ago:

I think this kind of show is better if you watch a whole bunch in a row.
The whole witch plot was pretty boring but the finale was ace.


hungryhungryhippo  said about 8 months ago:

Zeroman I have bedsores from the speedy consumption of all four seasons.

My issue with season 4 is that the actions of some of the established characters just didn't ring true. Maybe I just can't handle change.


hungryhungryhippo  said about 8 months ago:

Seriously though who would root lamo Eric? Evil Eric sure but lamo Eric was a dweeb!


fzchk  said about 8 months ago:

I am so over Sookie, and her precious fairy vagina, and unbelievably stupid name! Fuck Sookie!

Seconded.


sharptooth  said about 8 months ago:

Jessica! holy smokes


pking  said about 8 months ago:

the actors kind of stood around looking a little unconvinced themselves this season. did they lose a bunch of screenwriters this season or something?


pking  said about 8 months ago:

Jessica! holy smokes

clearly a focus group said ''more jessica in her underpants please''


RoastOxCrisps  said about 8 months ago:

Yep pretty dull season; not enough ''holy crap!'' moments; they saved all of those for the last 20 minutes of the season. Anotonia seemed hard core and then wussed out. Sooie was a pain. Sam was boring. I was happy when Sam's brother died. The werewolves and Alcide sucked balls, the were-panthers were kinda funny for a minute. I cheered when Tara checked out. Wuss Eric made me want to drink bleach. The fairies turning out evil was cool, but over in the first 20 minutes. Hoyt was like watching Heartbreak High. The saviours of the series were generally Bill, Jessica and Jason. Andy on V was pretty funny.


RoastOxCrisps  said about 8 months ago:

Oh yeah, and Pam. Gash in a sundress. Bam.


sting-bono  said about 8 months ago:

I liked this season. Hoping next season involves a vampire war. Looks like some old characters will be back too, like Reverend Newland and Russel Edgington - they're some of my favs.


pking  said about 8 months ago:

yeah that last 20 minutes of that last episode was a little weird.


k2  said about 8 months ago:

I have a recording of the talk Alan Ball gave in Melbourne the other night if youse guise want a copy. It's not brilliant quality, but perfectly listenable.


hungryhungryhippo  said about 8 months ago:

Yes please!


k2  said about 8 months ago:

I'll gmail it tonight.


sting-bono  said about 8 months ago:

yeah can i get one too, i wanted to go to that talk


untold/animals  said about 8 months ago:

I have a feeling there will be a video of the thing posted online sooner or later. Did you see the cameras?


k2  said about 8 months ago:

I actually wasn't there, but the person that was taped it for me.
