True Blood Season 1 and Season 2

True Blood, based on the Southern Vampire Mystery/Sookie Stackhouse novels, fulfills my love for campy vampire joy. As many people have noted, True Blood is an anti-Twilight. Sex abounds, but it's great because of the characters.

With actors like Anna Paquin and Nelsan Ellis, the series is just so fun to watch. The series looks to be following the trajectory of one book per season. The 10th novel was just released. I'm not sure if the tv series will get as high as that, but I enjoyed how the characters have grown and changed with each book.

The show balances horror, humor, and camp in one of the most entertaining series around. Twitter lights up with #trublood posts as soon as an episode stars airing. I really can't help but enjoy the fun.

The third series will introduce new characters, expanding the shifters (werewolves, etc.). And of course, the delicious Alexander Skarsgård exudes hot vampire sexiness as Eric. He's my favorite part of the series.

Glee

iconicon My faith in the new Fall TV season may be redeemed. I just watched the pilot for Glee and it is wonderful.

It's a Comedy-Drama-Musical that focuses on high school life. Yes, musical. And it isn't High School Musical.

I could go on and on about this, but you can watch the pilot online or download it on iTunes.

Speaking of downloading, the songs are available on iTunes, too:
Rehab - Glee Cast
Don't Stop Believin' - Glee Cast icon

Doctor Who

I've always been a Star Trek: The Next Generation type of girl. During a convention, I went up to Wil Wheaton and confessed my t'ween love for him.

He probably heard it often as he asked me, "You don't love me now?" Of course, my hormones had settled by then, though I said that I did. Love him, that is. I really didn't know what else to say. I guess, "Um, kinda not, but can you autograph my sketchbook anyway?"

A last weekend, I caught a marathon on BBC America showing the first (new) series of Doctor Who and fell in love again with sci-fi tv. I had never seen the earlier episodes. Not even the longest running Fourth Doctor. Sure, I dabbled in a few other shows, namely Stargate SG-1 and Lost, but really I haven't been THIS obsessed since Picard said, "Make it so."

But there is something just fun about Doctor Who. The Ninth Doctor (and first of the new series) is dark, yet oddly sweet sometimes. Like a great dark chocolate. I'd totally jump into the TARDIS with him. He's that older guy who kinda piques your interest because he's just soooo mysterious and has that smile.
