True Blood: Season 2

My parents never had premium shows. It costs extra money and usually don't have anything worth spending the extra money for another channel. So I watched the first season of True Blood two summers ago when I was dog sitting for my friend. And needless to say... It wasn't really much of anything beyond smut. Soft core porn at best. We were just getting to know the world and the characters we'll be following for however long the series runs.

One thing I love about this show is the opening song "Bad Things" by Jace Everett. It's bluesy and country and even to this day, I still like it.

Anyway... I'm going to watch the second season now. Hopefully it will come with a little refresher because I don't really remember much from the show. I'll write the refreshers as I see them. Hopefully the first two episodes will be enough for this recapping.

Things I'm reminded of:
  • Sookie can read minds
  • This show takes place in the South... And everyone has pretty southern accents...
  • Sookie's friend, Tara, had an exorcism by the victim [who was killed last season but her body has only been found now]
  • Bill is southern and now has a new vampire under his wing [Jessica]
  • Sookie has a brother [Jason]. He was a horny bastard last season but looks like he is making an about face on that...
  • The police office [Andy] is a dumbass
  • Tara's mother is 1 part crazy, 2 parts alcoholic [who is recovering supposedly]
  • Sam owns Merlot. He's attractive.
  • Sookie has a dead grandmother who owned the house before she passed away
  • Hoyt is controlled by his mother
  • Tara has a gay cousin [Lafayette] who is trapped somewhere... He use to cook at Merlot.
  • Sex includes biting most of the time in this show
  • Eric owns that vampire club thing [Fangtasia?]. He's kind of attractive too. But different from Sam attractive.
And that's kind of it for the remembering. Hope that was interesting enough.
