TRUEBLOOD, the soap opera.

I was watching that show True Blood on HBO last night when I realized how very soap-opera-y it really is. With the random sexual encounters and unnecessarily complicated relationships and the cliff-hangers at the end of every episode... I'm just waiting for somebody to go into a coma or find out it's not their baby. It's sadly pathetic that the only original thing about the show seems to be the least important - THE VAMPIRES! Using vampires as a dramatic device seems like kind of a waste. At least they started killing people right away... only a matter of time for the torches and wooden stakes to come out. I suppose that's the only reason I keep watching. That and soap operas are fucking addictive.
