THE WRITE PRETENDAS
WE at the League of Reluctant Adults are pissed. Miffed. Put out. Thoroughly riled. We don't often get political, nor do we often get angry. But an angry Leaguer is an UGLY thing. Just look at Mark over there, all snarly with rage. Why are we angry, you ask? BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET BOYCOTTED. There's this group calling itself "The Write Agenda," who claims to be a bunch of authors looking out for other authors. In reality, we're pretty sure they're a bunch of con artists who got mad at people calling them con artists. Why? Because they attack two of the best friends an author or an aspiring author can ever have: Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler . Here's John Scalzi's breakdown of what this Write Agenda is, and why they're doing what they're doing. For those not in the know, Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler are free services that collect information on agents, editors, and publishers. They report on thin...

2) Diggin' Rene's change from Cajun to hillbilly. Who would have thought he could sound like those guys from deliverance?
3) Sookie has become a slut.
4) Eggs...*drools*
5) What the hell did they have attack Lafeyette?
6) I'm excited for some manead lovin'.
I don't know what I separated them by number. It seemed like the right thing to do at the time.
Summer 09 is such a long ways away
I heart Bill. I also heart Lafeyette so I hope he comes back *doublesigh*.
Sidenotes:I would be happier with less sex overall--because the novelty is way gone. I kinda wish Rene had strangled Jason instead of Amy--though she was way weird, Jason is almost too stupid to breathe.
Jackie.....Eggs?
I'm so confused.
BUT, I am very disappointed they didn't use Elvis...Um, Bubba, to protect Sookie while Bill was gone.
That would've made the show for me.
Tom Gallier (wondering how everyone already saw the seaon finale...spooky)
Ok, before posting I checked, and I totally forgot to watch Sunday night. Aaaiieee. I'll watch tonight.
Yes, constantly seeing Jason's butt was getting on my nerves. I get it, it's nice, it's taut, but come on! As an avid reader of the series (see: huge dork) I know he's a man-whore, but a man can only whore so much. Or so you'd think.
I like the fact that defeating the bad guy took the combined efforts of Sookie, Sam, and Deep Fried Bill. Yeah Sam, good dog.
I really like the hinted b-plot between Sam and Mary Ann (I've always been more of a werewolf guy than a vampire guy) and I'm curious to find out what her deal is, how much trouble Tara is in, and where Sam thinks he's running away to.
Plus, Bill's "daughter". It took Eric, what, about two days to quite and hand her back to Bill?
This show hits all the right notes for me, exactly teh right balance between interesting characters and paranormal fun.
- the Sam-Marianne [her name is Marianne, right? The woman who took Tara in] thing
- the whole Marianne thing. Including Tara and Eggs.
- Lafayette (Dang, I liked Lafayette. A lot) [Did Bill really feed on him? And why we're at that topic, does nobody care about the motherbeeping child molesting uncle Bill murdered? Why isn't there a murder investigation?]
- the sulky red head new vamp, who drives me crazy
- Terry & Arlene
- Jason's conversion
And that's just the issues they need to deal with besides the main plot and the main character development etc. I kind of fear that they bit off more than they can chew.
But I really liked the first season, and I'll definitely be glued to my TV for the second one.
I think they tied the first one up just fine. And I really didn't suspect Rene until the penultimate episode, where his picture came up. That's cool.
Oh, and I've mentioned it before...where are the mosquitos!
Tom Gallier - who happens to be a Cajon, and is not happy to find out Rene is the killer.
This still bothers me. Hugely.
Overall, I think the series really found its voice by the last three episodes, and I'm looking forward to the second season.
I, too, wish that Bubba would make an appearance. Alas.
And count me in for a Lorena-kills-Jessica deathmatch early in season 2.
Onto Dallas...!
PS: It's the Batman Beyond fan in me, but I hope someone will say to Sam, "Good bat dog."
>>This still bothers me. Hugely.
I wonder if the V/vs feeding from Bill has to do with the whole vampire bonding/claiming?
If that's the end of him I'll be pissed. He's got the best dialogue in the whole show.
