True Blergh

So due to circumstances partially in my control, I ended up watching a lot of True Blood yesterday instead of doing my homework (which is not as bad as it sounds, if only because after the first four or so hours of soft-core porn your mind starts to wander and you plan out a bonus sex scene for the fic you're working on). I'm amused at how textual they're starting to make the classic romance writers' struggle, "Is Woman a Human Being?" At one point Sookie ("Sookie!") and Bill the Vampire have this conversation which I'm paraphrasing (but really only a little):

SOOKIE: Hey, I'm kind of a damsel in distress. That doesn't seem cool.
BILL: Well, the only reason you are in distress is because I have brought an intense amount of trouble to your doorstep. Actually you are very independent and liberated, but, because these are extraordinary times, you are quite justified in lying back and relying on a big strong man around to take care of you. P.S. I asked your big strong male boss to take care of you here at home while I'm away on important male penis business. Kisses!
SOOKIE: I love you Bill the Vampire.

Anyway, it's a pretty great show. I think. My brain might have a little melted.
