Thoughts on True Blood
Jul. 4th, 2011 11:32 pmTrue Blood - an amazing show were it not for these two really irritating characters... who happen to also be the protagonists.
I have mixed feelings about this show. I have these feelings very often because I keep watching it.
I am drawn to how thoroughly they can construct a convincing world and, within it, manhandle a metaphor for minority rights. We're talking X-Men levels of strange meaphors. Last time I checked Gay Marriage didn't come with the threat of being exsanguinated.... The My copy of the homosexual agenda doesn't call for that until stage 5.
And although her methods are somewhat at odds with say, Leslie Feinburg, Nan Flanigan is one of my organizing heroes.
