Last season being off you can blame on Anna Paquin being pregnant. I said before that a naked Sookie covers a multitude of sins,but not even a naked Sookie can save this season. The timing & rhythm of the show is so off,the acting is cheesier than ever. That's why I asked earlier if they changed producers. Whoever they have putting together this season's episodes must have worked for General Hospital or the Guiding Light before they took over True Blood. The production is just awful.I can handle one off season here or there, it happens with every good show, but two in a row will do it for me. They better buck up a little next season.
