Not So Romantic Erin

Jeremiah and I are way behind on the HBO series True Blood. We watched the first season via Netflix last summer and are just now watching the second season.

Which means I can't sign on to either twitter or facebook on Sundays without being assaulted by True Blood plot killers.

I really want to keep watching the show, I like the sex. I like the violence. I like the plot mechanics.

I just hate the romantic talky talky bullshit.

And the strange fairytale Beauty and the Beast music that plays every time Bill and Sookie kiss.

Hate hate hate.

Jeremiah and I use the phrase 'Too much talky talky' at least 10 times during one episode. And it's usually when Sookie and Bill are having the same conversation they've had on the show a thousand times (there's only 10 episodes per season too!):


"Sookie, you have no idea what it is like to be a vampire."

"Oh Bill, you have no idea what it's like to be a telepath."

"Sookie, I'm not accustomed to living in these times."

"Oh Bill, you'll learn. You have a heart even though you're a vampire."

"Sookie, I'm different from all the other vampires."

"Oh Bill, you have a heart even though you're a vampire."

And so on and so on...for about 2-8 minutes. Then they passionately kiss and the music starts. This is going to be a totally random comparison but I swear the music is nearly the exact same music that plays at the end of Disney's Beauty and the Beast when the Beast turns into a Prince.

Then Sookie and Bill begin to do it and there are lots of shots of his butt and her tits, which is somehow supposed to make up for the 2-8 minutes of excruciatingly boring diatribe I had to do through to get to the sex.

But it doesn't.

I'd rather just watch them fighting bad guys and getting involved in more plot twists than watching them do it...again. Maybe I'm just turned off by the talking.

So much for my romantic side.
