True Blood S03x01 Bad Blood


*SPOILERS AHEAD*


YES, YES and YES!!!

Season 03 of True Blood is finally on!!!I don't have much to say about the first episode, other than it was AWESOME!!!!!!If any of you guys decided to stop watching after Season 02, coz let's face it,Maryanne's story -meh- , you MUST and SHOULD watch the first episode of season 03. So many things happening, I didn't even realise it was a 50 minutes episode!Well, I'll always have a problem with Paquin's acting, since it's with great difficulty that I endure her presence, but I try to shut her out and just sit and marvel at the rest of the episode.Apart from the obvious cool factors of True Blood that is Bill and Eric, I just love seeing Jason and Jessica in pretty much everything they do.I was pretty hesitant about Jessica at first because she is not a character in the book, and I was sure she would not have a good enough story and basically would be completely dull.I couldn't be more wrong!As for Jason, well, everyone pretty much knows how amazing he is so there is no need for me to add more to the praise.

If I had to name one thing that stands out in this episode,it would be-come on, you know it!- Sam's dream of course!UN-BELIEVABLE!!!!!To be honest, I didn't know what was going on at first.I had totally forgotten the blood bond(Sookie-Eric) and what it can do to your brain.Way to go Giota, I have read all 9 Sookie books and I still forget important facts!Or maybe I just take them for granted.Anyway, I didn't read too much into it at first, but then as Bill started to get closer to Sam and their breath getting heavier and then  when Sam takes off his shirt I was thinking "Gee, something really wrong and perfectly perverse is going on here!" One of the most amazing and memorable scene in True Blood ever!
Watch it!!!!Pure awesomeness!!

WATCHING : Pretty Little Liars S01x01

I was waiting so long for the pilot of PLL,since I am a huge fan of the books, and I must admit, I am little bit disappointed.

I'll try not to compare the series to the books much.I don't think I have to really since,the pilot at least,was very similar to the book.Only Jenny's last name is changed and the time period between Ali's disappearance and the "present".
However,as I watching I had the constant feeling I was watching 5 episodes all shoved into one.Anyone who has read the books will get what I am saying.I don't know if I would understand  anything that went on if I hadn't read the books beforehand.But maybe I'd enjoy it more if I hadn't read the books.I really don't know.

I didn't like any of the guys.Well, maybe Ezra a little bit,if he got rid of that stupid haircut!I think the best looking one was Mike,Aria's brother, and we didn't get to see much of his face!Ian...OMG Ian was awful!!In case you don't remember, he is Melissa's,Spencer's sister's,boyfriend from Spencer's flashback.First of all,Ian is blonde.I know you think it's a minor detail, but trust me,it's really not.Anyway,guy-wise it was a let down.Also, a guy that plays a major role in the books was not introduced.Maybe later on.

Now, the girls.I like Spencer.I like the girl they cast for her role,even though I never thought I would.She is not the out of this world beauty,which Ali is supposed to be(which she so isn't,btw) and I think she is exactly as she is described in the books.Well, apart from the blonde hair.What do they have against blondes??Dunno!
The girl who plays Emily is OK, but not at all who I would have picked.The other I have no problem with yet.

Plot was really a mess.Everything was happening so fast, Ali's disappearing, Aria and Ezra's alleged relationship,Emily confiding so easily in Maya, a girl she just met(same goes with Aria and Ezra),and in general the whole episode, especially the first half, was a blur.I know they are trying to fit everything in 10 episodes but I think they've overdone it.Also, do you know if the first season is supposed to be about the first book or more,because if that's the case,and judging from the first episode,I don't think I'll like it much.

But there is no need to jump into conclusions.There are 9 episodes ahead, we'll just have to wait and see where this whole thing is headed.
