sorry i didn't like it at all. i didn't care for the characters. the sex scenes were too much, and didn't serve
any purpose.
i won't watch it ....

the first minutes were kinda funny, but the storyline is boring. im not 100%
sure about these preair movies, but i was missing "the end"?!
anyways, hopefully moonlight gets another season cuz so far, this is a waste of
time!
quality was fine btw

can't comment on the quality or the content as i haven't watched it yet, but as
for your comment on moonlight: check the forum here, bud. no less than
3 thread topics (that i've read) about how it's been canceled.

the missing scenes and stuff are what was released (going by the fact there was
a nice little message stating "missing scene 29") i doubt a proper would be
released until the show actually airs. remember this is a pre-air release.
i agree that the sex scenes were a bit much, and the show just didn't gel for
me. i know its still early days, and because of that, i'll probably give it
another go when it starts, but i won't be holding my breath for it.

ok, i saw the show this afternoon. the end of the pre-air pilot seemed to be
missing the last 25% of the plot from the first novel. also sookie in the tv
show did not seem as bright as the sookie of the novels, but then again in the
course of 8 novels the character has aged chronologically and learned a lot
about her world.it may be that i simply can't recall the sookie of the first
book all that well.
the back story regarding the creation of synthetic blood "true blood" and how
it led to the vampire "race's" decision to go public and push for equal rights
was dealt with way to quickly during the first five minutes of the film.
all in all i think the show has promise, and will be happy to watch the first
few episodes when they air in the fall.

it was very much like early x-files, although there was way to much on-screen
kissing with cheesy music... no man enjoys that unless it's girl on girl, and
they're both hot. still i have high hopes for improvement and i can wait to
see more episodes

man o man i expected this to be way better, it was a joke, i mean i am from
louisiana and we don't even talk anywhere near that, they sounded like they were
hick texans in trailer park central! man, they could of at least done homework
on how people from louisiana really talk, total disgust and the vampire
hillbilly twangy accent thing is just ridiculous! could have been much better!
not worth the watch, waste of an hour!

i quite enjoyed it - what was there at least. i'll be looking forward to the
actual pilot ep so i can see the whole thing, because there's no way it's
supposed to just end like that.

i was completely fascinated, they followed the book very closely.. perhaps
with the exception of tara. a true louisiana deep woods accent would have
been completely unintelligible to 99% of the audience.. so they had to make
do. still, a louisiana accent is very sexy..
the sex was appropriate to the books and to hbo.. and the actress who played
sookie did an excellent job.
hopefully the series will be picked up..if hbo reads this, you got a hit!

guess i'm the only one who thought it ended just fine, you could hear end-title
music swelling up. i thought the two lead guys'(bartender/horny brother) acting
was pretty bad, even worse was the best friend's histrionics. very well-filmed
intense sex scene with a vampire, and some pretty awful dialogue, but i managed
to watch it all, and that's a good thing i think!
thanks eztv

ok, so i love vamp-stories, mostly. but this show...i don\'t get it, there
really wasn\'t even a story,and am i the only one who thinks the vamp was
weak?
(before he needed resqueing) it was too forced. instead of showing \"emotion\"
the characters kept staring (at each other?). it was very slowpaced and the
sex scenes came out of nowhere. the acting was bad! but it\'s a pilot, so who
knows..

i'm going to have to go against the majority and say that i actually enjoyed
this. sure, it wasn't perfect, and it's easy to find faults with it, even
disregarding the fact that this pre-air isn't actually the completed version.
however, with rare exception, you can say the same about pretty much every pilot
episode ever created.
i'm not complaining, but i do find this shows existence odd, given that both blood ties and moonlight were axed so recently. i mean, it shows that
production companies know that there's a market for this kind of genre show, but
conversely, as shown with the two shows just listed, they don't seem to want to
give them a decent chance if viewing figures aren't immediately stratospheric.
as it's an hbo show though, hopefully they will give it a chance to find it's feet.
