Downloaded and watched all the episode of Moonlight last week. I liked that show, mostly due to Sophia Myles, of course, who is both adorable and hot. In fact, I think she’s hotter than Anna Paquin, which is pretty good for a vicar’s daughter. The segment where she was high on vampire blood was the best of the show. I also liked the rich playboy vampire, he was always cool. Shannyn Sossaman as Coraline was cool, too.

One can only assume filming for that show is brutal, but maybe they’d consider doing a shorter season with only 3 patients? That’ll bring the episode order to 21 which is much more reasonable, even though it’ll still be significantly longer than every other HBO show.

As for Flight of the Conchords it was obvious by the dumb songs that they are out of ideas, and with the way the season finale ended it looks like the show is over, but the surprising Emmy nominations (especially Jemaine’s) could be enough to bring the show back.

Doesn’t In Treatment also have trouble with luring Gabriel Byrne and assorted Showrunners due to the grueling two days per episode shooting schedule? I think I’ve read somewhere that the previous two showrunners had significant collapses in health after completing production.

Kevin,
I think I read where Brett and Jermaine didn’t want to do any more seasons because it was too difficult to come up with material. I think HBO is still undecided with In Treatment. I don’t think it will come back because they have greenlit several new shows for next year.

Vampires are always “in”, it is just that they are a bit more zeigeisty than usual as of late. However, now that the grey lady is writing about it, I think that we can safely mark the beginning of the end of this particularly faddish period in the genre.

Eric, I agree and disagree. I agree that these vampire shows and movies need to stop, but I’m kind of glad that porn thing took off when it did, so I’m a mixed bag on the issue.

That any one topic can become a fad like this is retarded.

I love True Blood. One of HBO’s best shows in years. How would you improve True Blood?

Any update on In Treatment and Flight of the Conchords getting a third season? I’ll take anything HBO, but un-True Blood, related.

Vampire Diaries seem a little too Twilight, and not enough True Blood for me.
