Here Be Vampires!

Well, Eliza 1812 pointed out quite rightly to me that some incanations of Dracula are able to walk about in daylight, albeit a little weakened.

I still call shenanigans on that concept for any other vampire that's not King of Vampires like Vlad is.

I HATED Twilight for many, many reasons ... but on top of everything, I simply could not accept vampires that just had to stay out of the sun, or use UVA 100 protection, or live in Cloudy Oregon ... otherwise they'd get, OMG, glittery!!

Oh, and no fangs.

But, I loves, loves, loves me some True Blood. Except for penultimate episode aired, which was the stupidest of the series. I read the first two Sookie Stackhouse books, and didn't much care for them. Definitely bare bones plot for the 1st two seasons, but it's all the stuff added that makes the TV show So.Much.Better.

I'm told a lot of the addittions are from later books ... um, so what will they do if the show lasts many seaons? (Feh, not likely with HBO, who eats their best shows alive ... talk about vampires!)

And of course, True Blood's got one thing no other vampire show has. It's not vampire. Two Words: Jason Stackhouse.

I miss all the drug allegory of the first season ... but the second season is already so much better than the second book, I'm still happy with the show.

Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula is BRILLIANT. I could go on and on, but this is already a long post. But I just wanted to put this out there, since some love it, lots HATE it.
