Sorry for the temporary hiatus--this past week/weekend has been crazy hectic! Between graduation parties, dance recitals, and catching up with old friends I've barely had a minute to collect my thoughts. However, one of my favorite parts of summer is about to start: HBO's True Blood!
I'm not going to lie. The first preview I saw for Season 4 left me less than satisfied. I've read quite a few of Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series (the novels which True Blood spawned from) and the supernatural world Harris creates is incredible. Yet, I wasn't too thrilled with how HBO approached it. First of all, I think the whole fairy aspect of the show can never measure up to how awesome the vampires of True Blood are. Sookie, while the main character of the show, is annoying, and the fact that she's a fairy just makes it worse. Needless to say, when I realized the preview included a lot more of the fairyland part of the supernatural realm I wasn't exactly psyched.
BUT with the bad, of course, comes good. The vampires need to redeem themselves after Russell Edgington's psychotic and gruesome TV appearance during Season 3 (my favorite part of the season, just FYI) which will make for an incredible storyline! Vampires fighting for their right, evil fairies, southern witches, and werewolves... Not a bad combination. And I'm sure I'll get over the whole anti-Sookie, anti-Fairy thing I've got going on and immerse myself completely in Season 4, just like I have for all the rest.
I can't wait! I can't wait! I can't wait! Tune into True Blood this Sunday, June 26th at 9PM!
