I'm just not feeling it this season. It's all over the place and going nowhere. My favorite characters have lost the charm and/or edge that attracted me to the show in the first place. The show is turning into Heroes.

I'm interested to see where all this is going having read the books. It seems like things from book 3 and 5 are going to be happening at the same time this season! I'm a little disappointed in Alcide's character on the show... His character is the books is one of my favorites, but in the show he's more of a dick.

The following question might be deemed spoilerish by some folks, so to be safe...

Well, that last episode was kinda action-packed at least. When's HBO gonna do their typical recap marathon? I missed like 3 episodes and, even though everyone pretty much panned them, I'd like to see 'em.

I didn't pan them. In fact, I rewatched them all to the latest episode. I agree to some extent though that it's just getting good.... But you missed the whole Franklin storyline then? And all the fun between the King, Bill and Lorena? You NEED to play catch up.

They seem to be pretty available as torrents if you go that route.

Posting here because of the strong influence she's had over vampire lore.

Anne Rice Quits Being a Christian
"For those who care, and I understand if you don't: Today I quit being a Christian. I'm out. I remain committed to Christ as always but not to being "Christian" or to being part of Christianity. It's simply impossible for me to "belong" to this quarrelsome, hostile, disputatious, and deservedly infamous group. For ten ...years, I've tried. I've failed. I'm an outsider. My conscience will allow nothing else."

She later added:
"As I said below, I quit being a Christian. I'm out. In the name of Christ, I refuse to be anti-gay. I refuse to be anti-feminist. I refuse to be anti-artificial birth control. I refuse to be anti-Democrat. I refuse to be anti-secular humanism. I refuse to be anti-science. I refuse to be anti-life. In the name of ...Christ, I quit Christianity and being Christian. Amen."

"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." - Mahatma Gandhi

Well, maybe I can respect Anne Rice again - just a little bit.
