True Blood : Alan Ball POV (HBO)

[roli252520]

Allan.. ball is a very creative man. i always knew it had to take a genius such as a gay person to create such a spectacular series.. i love that show.

[Hontaish]

I agree, she forgave Bill waaaay to easily - hell - he practically killed her and it only fazed her for a bit.

[TyrannySue]

Aww, Alan! The writing on Buffy is way better than Harris's.

[britters220]

he is fuckign up the series. no woman as strong as sookie is in the books would come crawling back to someone as fake as Bill.

[zachariahgriffin]

ohhhh man! Love this show so much! Thank you Charlene Harris for writing the books and Alan Ball for making it such a great series! xoxo

[corozal22]

@softkitti  R u out of ur mind?Six feet Under is the One of the Greatest series ever on tv! Great cast,wrtting,direction,etc...M­asterpiece! GO AND WATCH IT!

[nageejones22]

i can't get enough of Layfayett if i was gay i would be just like him

[isalene25]

@ MsAKSfan I think so too I don't get it he plays Eric down all the time like whan bill kills that vamp it was Eric that did it bill is just there to bring sookie into the supernatural world. I love the show I just don't like what he is doing whit bill and Eric !!!!!!

[mz11596]

@isalene25 yep in the book Eric is good and Bill suck

[msstabby]

Alan Ball is the greatest living American screenwriter.

[exileinbriville]

I love alan ball <8 *except towelhead was kinda bad*

[MsAKSfan]

You know what bothers me here? That is that Eric has proven to be such a pivotal part of the series, and most generally, he is virtually ignored or down played most of the time. I'm curious to see if Bill is still the main focus of the vampire camp. I hope that Alan has realized the box office pull of Alexander Skarsgard as Eric Northman. I don't talk to anyone who says that anyone but Eric is the main reason they watch! Just me sayin'....

[shinyalbert]

@MsAKSfan lol you're just obsessed wtih eric northman

[chrissayss]

I love Alan Ball. I started with True Blood. Then I heard about Six Feet Under. Wow, I'm so glad I did. Six Feet Under is really one of the greatest shows ever. I just saw American Beauty a few days ago...Alan Ball is amazingly awesome.

[softkitti]

@chrissayss what was six feet under about? all i've heard is it's about an family run funeral home. sounds dull? But if alan ball did the show it's probly not dull at all?

[TheBulle]

I agree! I love Bill/Sookie's music! Their scenes are just so beautiful and the music is a part of the beauty. Bill and Sookie's theme is beautiful!

[Bufster]

This was really cool and interesting, thank you :)

I can't wait to get Season 2 blu-ray for the extra features... can't wait to hear the cast commentaries etc.

Am glad Alan Ball is around for at least 4 seasons... anyone else wish it was 2011 so they could watch season 3 and 4 already? :)

[XXmissybooXX]

Alan Ball is the most unique screenwriter. His work is truly beautiful. I have not seen any of true blood yet but Six feet under was a masterpiece, American Beauty was simply breathtaking. I am looking foreward to watching this show but his best work comes from creating his own ideas instead of adapting them.

[vipset87]

six feet under was brilliant.. alan ball is extremely talented which is why i checked out true blood.. was never a big fan of the whole vampire genre.. true blood is alot more than just a vampire show. people should check out both six feet under and true blood. both very different yet masterpieces

[gerryschristine]

This is the first time I'm seeing this interview. How long ago was this done?  It's interesting.

[Answer4canceR]

LOL haha dick

[Savo2001]

@logansGT Thumps up! Lol!

[Humjob]

alan ball is a creative genius... all the subtleties he throws in... it's extraordinary

[Johnlindsey289]

He's a good writer but do you know he's gay? i mean he lives up to his funny name, Alan Ball? as in he craves balls.

Get it?

[lilrobie]

I love Alan Ball!!! and True Blood!!

can't get enough of watching!!!

thanks for posting :)

[yaaratal111]

Did anyone catch the scene on 4:10 where Bill talks to a woman hanging upside-down from the ceiling, bleeding into a bucket?

WTF?!

[BeASimpleMan]

LOL Yea what was that? I dont remember seeing that.

[Luftmenshca]

In the show Bill is actually talking to the other three vampires - the black woman and the white guy with the dark black hair (the other one I don't remember right now). They caused a raucous at Merlottes and he went there to tell them to leave. They had the woman hanging in the other room...

[arsdelicata]

He is talking to the other vampires, while looking at the dead woman drained into that bucket.

[xjackie93]

this series makes me wish that every day was sunday =]

[AmourCestVous]

same!!!!!

[MizHafHaf]

i JUST realized when i was rewatching the 1st season is:

Dawn is Wolverines chick in the new wolverine film

The head vampire of the area or whatever hu tells Bill to turn Jessica is Danko from Heroes

The girl at the start of the series hu wanks off her boyfriend in the car is SILVER from 90210!

XD very small stuff but i found it interesting nonetheless! :P

[ElPerroBrian]

Hi, need a lil' bit of helping hand here. I'd like to subtitle Alan Ball's short The M Word into my language but there're a few pieces I cannot make out.

I've posted the transcript at my LiveJournal page (see the URL in my profile), could anyone please proofread and fill a couple gaps?

[DemonDamien]

Sunday, June 14th.

[Meride2]

I am black, 57, female and I think this show is trashy and I love it.

[lornita1988]

[amchorselover620]

Sunday June 14, i can't wait :D

[evilAniron]

[JeeBeeDeeVille]

this is the only show that makes me call everything off on sunday so I can watch this show...then entourage after...the best days. I miss them, cant wait for them to come back.

[PrincessAlice1462]

I'm watching the truelood series and I hope it won't be like the sookie stackhouse series becuase I want bill and sookie to be together

[Raida7]

Well, it'll take a while for that to happen - I like those other guys too

[ceva1177]

i may be a 18 year old girl but im in a happy relationship. this show is a splash of everything, humor, murder, fantacy, sex, love, polotics and the unknown. thats why peolpe love this show,

[evilminagrey]

I love this show and I cant wait for season 2 !!!!

[Widmon]

Me too !

[ooshadygirloo]

congrats to Anna on winning the GG for TrueBlood... but the entire supporting cast should have won if i had anything to do with it. they are awesome!

[lollipopfop]

How many of the people who watch this show are female, and either teenagers(or at least under 23), or women who have stable, but very unromantic marriages and need something to fantasize about? Who else would watch it?

[botchalism]

What's your point? Do you know how many 23 year old and under females are in the United States? What age group do you think Mtv targets? Definitely no older then 23, and guess what their ratings are through the roof, so shush and go take a business 101 it might just help you remove your head from your ass.

[erickJ17]

I'm a male and like this show alot mim 19 so what my friend introduced me to this show hes 28 O we're Mexican-American y que?

[zoe1974]

I like that my favorite local brewery has a sign at Fangtasia... Speakeasy. SF's finest ales and lagers.... mmmm.

[tollstamer]

sundays are fun again!!

[lucille32825]

this show is great - well done! it takes about the 3rd episode to get into the characters; but now we're hooked... We look forward to Sundays again!

[robbimakeup]

can someone direct me as to where i can see full episodes 1-5 livestream please? i just became a fan...

[k3hp567]

i didn't get hooked to the show until after the 3rd or 4th episode.hoping it will get more and more interesting...

it's not quite fair to compare it to Six feet under as they are completely different...(but part of me still did so)

[BentHenny]

They are really different, but both great!

[NocturnaRaven]

I love this fucking show!!

[college87]

this show is actually really good

[Causticsting]

this show is great and man they sure put lots of work into it

[cuttoothom]

This show has a decent pilot...

he'll be hard-pressed to make it match the awesomeness of Six Feet Under, though.

[smithhedgehog]

yeah, few people make two masterpieces!

[musikflutterby]

Caught the premiere on Sunday and it was great.

[spookedbyalibrarian]

Loved it last night!

[teresa14]

at first it didn't catch my attention cus it looked like a cheap ass series, but then i watched the first episode and it was alright...

:D

[goofychix]

[mikailtap]
