end of the second series of true blood was a bit dissappointing, although I've heard theres werewolves in the new series.
Jason Stackhouse was the unquestioned MVP of the second series. Jason vs. The Westboro Rapists ("You're the worst betrayer since Judas!" "Why, what did he do to you?") and Jason vs. The Bacchae ("Where are your horns?") were worth the price of admission on their own.
Relatedly (sort've), just finished watching Generation Kill. Really liked it. It does well showing you blokes doing a difficult job in difficult circumstances without shying away from the concequences of inevitable fuckups or excusing the foibles of its main characters. Just like The Wire, it really messes about with your ideas of who's a "goodie" and who's a "baddie", and what that actually means. And I was bloody amazed to find out that Rudi was, in effect, playing himself.
