Don't give up on the show!

They bought a lot of advertising from me straight up, on a number of my sites, so I can't complain about not getting the Tru Blood, although I would have been into that too. I think it is really cool they paid attention to what sites fit and sent that to you. The launch marketing for that show was genius, really innovative and well-done.
WARNING: SPOILERS FOR FOLKS NOT UP TO DATE WATCHING THE CURRENT SEASON
I realize it is based on the source material, but I hate that they took the beautiful relationship between the sweet alienated waitress and the old-fashioned reluctant vampire and retroactively made it kinda suck and be something different.
I am totally irritated to watch this many seasons of a show and then have them totally change most of the characters. It is like there are no human humans left in Bon Temps, which makes the specialness of ESP or vampirism or shapeshifting a lot less interesting. The waitress is all domineering. The jaded club owning Viking is all puppydog looking for validation. The decent guy vampire is a sadistic dick. The V addict chick who was able to lure womanizer Jason was plausible, but I find it hard to believe that character would now be sprung on some meth princess hillbilly. And the hooker is in a relationship. The whole punk history backstory doesn't fit the timeline or geography and he makes a really unconvincing punk. They've got a rule about not appearing feeding on camera, which they just thought to mention now. Etc. Just really inconsistent.
I don't know how they managed to make Alexander Skarsgard come across unappealing, while he is supposed to be becoming more attractive. He looks the stupidest, but I find all the styling this season way less alluring -- Sookie, Bill, Lafayette, etc.
If I wanted to spend time with overly sexually-aggressive illiterates and self-important peer-pressuring Wiccans, I could do that in my real life and I choose not to.
