Liked it, but why couldn't she "hear" them when they were going to attack her ?

Wife and I watched it and really dug it, set the DVR to catch the rest of the season.  I figured while watching it that Alan Ball (Six Feet Under) was involved and found out later that I was right.

What I don't get is how the chain started getting tighter around the guys neck?  That made no sense to me.  As far as her not hearing the couple at the end I am guessing that she had them tuned out like she did in the bar.

She might have powers that neither she no we are aware of yet.

Remember vampire Bill told Sookie that she was more than human.

I can stand the guy behind this, he also did "American Beauty" where america sucks and everyne but the two gay guys is evil. he's a gay guy who says he has issues from some childhood sex abuse (kind of a strange thing to blat out in a radio interview). He implied (I thought) that parts of it was talking about prejudice against homosexuals. Sounds like a neat idea but Bleh commie pinko,

This guy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Ball_(screenwriter)
his latest movie


Towelhead tells the story of a young Arab American girl named Jasira (Summer Bishil), who is sent to live with her strict Lebanese father (Peter Macdissi), who lives in a small town in Texas during the first Gulf War. Jasira struggles against her father's lifestyle, and against her racist classmates. For the first time in her life, the painful truth of being an Arab hits Jasira, causing her to become sexually obsessed with her neighbor: a bigoted army reservist (Aaron Eckhart).

In the woods when she was fighting to save the vampire, there was someone else looking on, a woman in green as I recall.  I was assuming that she's also a vampire and used some sort of vampire-telekenisis-power to tighten the chain around bad guy's neck.

Looks like its going to be one hell of a good show.

Took me a while to get into it. We were thinking...well, maybe it is going for too much comedy, then it got better.

We decided we'll watch it.

The black girl bothers me a bit, as her attitude is so stereotypically racist

Yep, Sookie has something else going on other than her ability to read minds.  Where a more traditional show would have explained all of that early on to keep the viewer from having to think, this show is going to be different.

I'm really looking forward to how this show plays out.

It's alright thus far.  Seeing Sookie get the shit kicked out of her at the end kinda made me cringe.
Do you think she will have to become a vampire to survive?, that's kinda the impression I got from the preview to the next episode.

Either way, it's a good way to kill an hour before Entourage comes on.

I'm wondering if Sookie is an abbreviation for succubus...

Wonder if Grandma is to be revealed as a secretive vampire or something of the sort and Sookie gentically inheirited something from her.

I'll probably read the reactions here for a week or two before I decide to invest any time in it, though...

I forgot it was going to be on last night, so I'll have to On-Demand it before Terminator starts at 8pm.

ETA: I liked it, I'll definitely watch it the rest of the season.

Yup; there's going to be plenty going on that's not that obvious at the start.

What is obvious is that Sookie is HAWT.

Meh.  He was also the guy behind Six Feet Under, which I thought was one of the best shows on television, ever.

Anybody want to speculate if Sookie's brother is guilty of killing that Maudette
chick that he was banging?

Seems like when she decides to focus she tunes other stuff out. She may have been too focused looking for the vampire to "hear" what was going on around her.

Her ability reminds me of a book I read where mind readers all slowly go insane because over time they lose the ability to focus and the constant babble drives them bonkers.

First two episodes were okay.

+1 the grandma has some sort of 'past' experience with the vampires.   Not a vampire herself, but maybe she fed off of one (like Sookie) and maybe it gave her enhanced perceptions that were passed down to Sookie.

Apparently there is a vampire banging all the single women in town, both of the brother's conquests had bite marks on them already.

Hot sexy waitress (the young one, not the redheaded battleaxe) wears a bra while having sex with the brother ?

WTF, I'll bang ya but I won't let ya see me titties ? = FAIL.

And Sookie looks hot, but we all know she isn't gonna do any nude scenes.  And the chicklet teeth need to be fixed.

My wife and I have watched it.  She's read the books and has been enjoying it.  It seems nothing more to me than mid-core porn with some vampire theme thrown in.  There isn't much story to keep me interested, but I never did understand the vampire fan base.

Well, if that's what moves you, that's fine.  Different strokes for different folks.  I've just seen *much* better porn and *much* better vampire movies.  Mediocre porn mixed into a mediocre vampire story doesn't bacon create.
