I know this is way off topic for this blog but I wanted to talk a little bit about HBO's new series, True Blood. Well I guess new is a bit of a stretch since the show has been on for 3 seasons now. A rather humorous look into the world of vampires True Blood offers a unique take on an old classic.
This last season saw a lot of zany cliff hangers, the largest of which is finding out that the main female lead is actually... a fairy. A fairy whose blood apparently lets vampires walk around, albeit briefly, in the sun.
Other surprises include werewolves, were panthers, a surprisingly insane vampire and a grotesque image of a vampire ripping a news anchors spine out through their middle.
While the horror of the Twilight series is surrounding us with its glitter sparkle vampires True Blood stands on its own as a breath of dead air in an otherwise over done genre.
