True Blood, season 2 recap

Sookie can’t follow simple instructions.

Bill used to seem powerful, but now he’s just some nerd everyone picks on.  Even the queen talks ‘contemporary’ while Bill is stuck in the past.  Vampire nerd FTW.

Jason watches too much TV/bad movies and couldn’t fake his way through Christianity 101.

Things ‘will themselves’ into existence.  Whatever they believe hard enough, happens.  This opens the floodgates for just about any retarded delusion.  Next season, expect to see Steve and Sarah Newlin become real angels and start blowing Gabriel’s horn to bring God’s wrath down upon the vampires.

Sam needs to watch more ‘Teen Titans’ and learn to transform into a rhino or a T-Rex or something f’in useful.  And horns apparently turn into arms when he shifts back.

And the biggest lesson of all..  what caught our attention as an intriguing, uncensored (thanks HBO!) gothic fantasy drama is really nothing than an overbudgeted, overly complex soap opera that’s trying too hard to be ‘legit’.   Nothing worse than a porno that attempts to have a story line.

My prediction is that this is about as good as it gets.  Season 2 has started a downward slide where whatever talent made season 1 so good probably has enough sense to have moved on to more reputable projects… rats know when a ship is going down.  I think Season 3 is going to be tamer (at least not with one giant, town engulfing, story line) but is going to try to throw every hokey supernatural gimmick at the viewer in the hopes that, as quoted about supporters and detractors of the Howard Stern show, “we just want to see what’s going to happen next”, without any regard to whether it has any substance or value to add to this fantasy universe.
