True Blood

I am really enjoying the new series on HBO titled TruBlood. If you haven't watched it and you love anything vampire, please do so. It must be so exciting for Charlaine Harris to see her characters become living breathing people on the silver screen! I find all of her characters interesting and even the vampires cannot help betray their humanness at times. It gives them more dimension and their own distinct personalities. Things get really interesting when Sookie winds up in the vamp bar Fangtasia and meets up with Eric Northman. He is another ancient vampire who wrestles with his emotions of greed, jealousy and envy, just like the rest of us.


Bill is living in his families ancestral home which happens to be across the cemetary from Sookie Stackhouses's home. He either had avoided the vampire nests or has left one to live among mortals. He explains to Sookie how vampires living in nests loose their humanity and become laws unto themselves which makes them more dangerous. One could say that about humans as well. When there are no checks and balances within our government or our financial institutions we forget the others outside of ourselves. We believe we are untouchable and therefore capable of anything.

Dangerous for humans as well as vampires.
