True Blood is what happens when a writers' room confuses "ambiguous" with "didn't finish the draft".
“Tomato tried to leave at intermission.”

An absolute cinematic disaster.
Thanks to a Japanese scientist's invention of synthetic blood, vampires have progressed overnight from legendary monsters to fellow citizens. And while humans have been safely removed from the menu, many remain apprehensive about these creatures "coming out of the coffin." Religious leaders, government officials, and vampire fundamentalists around the world have chosen their sides. But in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps, the jury is still out.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in True Blood?
Honestly, True Blood would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in True Blood?
Rewatched True Blood last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
