Going Commando Under Denim AKA The True Blood Pilot

Send us a text


Happy Wine Wednesday! We are back with another installment in our
special series, The Pilot Project.  Terence Johnson returns
this week to discuss the pilot episode of one of our favorite
guilty pleasure shows, True Blood.  


It turns out that Terence and I had a LOT to say about True
Blood, so this week you will get our main discussion on the pilot
and next week we will have  a bonus spoiler segment in which
Terence and I discuss the series as a whole. It's also worth
noting that by the end of the first segment, a LOT of wine had
been consumed and it shows.


We kick things off by talking about what drew us to the True
Blood pilot and whether either one of us read the source
material.  Of course we talk about the show's theme song and
the very memorable opening sequence.


Following that, we get into the Qs that need some As.  We
discuss the opening sequence and how Alan Ball introduced us to
the world of Bon Temps.  We also put a modern day lens on
True Blood and discuss whether we would be open to dating a
vampire and if we would have curiosity about vampire blood. 
You know we can't discuss a show about supernaturals or
superheroes without sharing which special ability we would want.


Of course we get into the Bill and Sookie of it all - their
introduction, their chemistry, and the preview into their taboo
love that we see in the pilot episode.  In honor of Anna
Paquin and Stephen Moyer meeting and falling in love on the set
of True Blood, we discuss some of our favorite couples who met on
the set.


We also get into the episode standouts, which of course includes
a salute to the very talented Nelsan Ellis (RIP).  We then
give our final elevator pitch as to why you might want to
continue watching True Blood and then things get thirsty!


Thanks so much for listening! Friendly reminder - we drink, we
know things, and we use adult language.
