9 Months? I Can't Wait That Long!

I realize this is a few days overdue, but deal with it. And just so you know, there are no major spoilers... just a few hints! The finale was on on Sunday night and I was so excited for it! Overall, I think it was done really well. I was definitely shocked by a few of the things that happened but liked how they wrapped it all up. I was not at all surprised by the very last scene, and I'm 97% sure I know what happens as a precursor for next season... unless they deviate from the book like they have been.

There were a few things during the season that I could have done without. The first being the drawn-out Maryann story. I guess the finale ended in a farily logical way, but I could have done with less of her. The show got all crazy like for a few episodes there, and I was really surprised by all the twists and turns it took from the book. I loved that I didn't know what to expect each week because of it. Eric, oh Eric... After reading Book 4, I fell for him. I was previously on Team Bill (get the Twilight reference?), and was a bit torn for gravitating towards Eric, but everything worked out by the time I got to Book 6 or so. If you've read them, you know what I'm talking about. Anyway, after seeing Eric this season, I'm whole-heartedly on his team. Good Lord than man is HOT!!! I'd definitely invite him in for a romp if he showed up at my front door!

I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the Queen being brought into the show, but I think they did a great job of casting her. I don't necessarily like Evan Rachel Wood, but I think she's perfect for the part... except for the fact that she's a little older than Queen Sophie in the book. She played it well and to the extreme the character was meant to be portrayed. I can't wait to see more of her story.

I'm sure I've said this before, but I'm saying it again. Season 2 of True Blood was awesome! Are you guys with me? If not, get on the damn band wagon already! Seriously, though...9 months! That's 9 GD Effing months I have to wait for Season 3 of True Blood. Mr. Ball, I have obsession issues, and your little show just happens to be one of them. I can't wait until next June! I just can't! Anyway, I saw this picture on Twitter yesterday (courtesy of Ben) and loved it. I thought it was appropriate for this post and I hope you love it (and the show) as much as I do.

Until next season...
