Yeah. Sure. Whatever.
I think there is something terribly wrong with the way I am since I seem to be the only person I know who seem to have enough time and is never busy. Is it only me, who is not doing something that almost everyone seems to be doing?
Odd.

Tru Blood: Season 1 - Episode 1: Pilot

I was very much in need of an ego boost so I searched for "Sookie" over the net. The first seven pages in Google talked about one "Sookie Stackhouse" and the name was associated to "Tru Blood", a television serial premiered this Autumn on HBO. So, naturally, I gave in to my over curious nature of knowing all obscure and useless facts, I read about this drama on Wiki.
My initial take on this drama was a little disappointing. It was yet another human lady falling in love with vampire thing. There is only so much of Buffy that one can take, with twilight and everything going on. But Tru Blood turned out to be a refreshing change. There is no sense of rationality in the serial at all when the vampires are given an equal status as that of human. There is a synthetic blood available? I have to give the creative team a brownie for the originality at least. And then there are characters. The main reason, apart from plot line, which made me watch this series was Anna Paquin. I have seen most of the movies in which she acted as a child star, including "The Piano", for which she won an Oscar. As usual, she is brilliant in her performance with southern accent of a telepathic bar-maid. Her fixation on a 143 year old vampire, Bill, is a little too obvious plot line, but their chemistry is not. I liked this series maybe because of its lack of modesty when it comes to promiscuous nature of the characters or even portraying them on the screen and pulling it off not making the viewers think that its porn or maybe because the characters are wonderfully next-doorish, flaws and all.
I think I am going to watch the rest of the episodes of season one. Anna Paquin is nominated for Golden Globe for her role. I sincerely hope that she wins this one.
