Synopsis: Scientists have found a blood synthetic that vampires can use so humans are safe and vampires can live out in the open. Not everyone buys that they won’t be attacked though, especially religious folks. A waitress, who has her own special gift of hearing everyone’s thoughts, is thrilled by a vampire that comes into her diner since his thoughts are actually closed off to her. She finds his mysteriousness sexy.

I think the best scene was where Sookie, the mind reading waitress, talks with the new vampire in town, Bill, for the second time in her diner. Everyone in the entire diner is staring at them talking since not many of them are keen on a vampire in the restaurant. They don’t really notice since they are so intent on each other. She is thrilled that she can’t hear his thoughts and he looks like he is ready to devour her. The sexual tension is palpable.  I loved it!

My Take: I love Alan Ball. I loved Six Feet Under and I love vampires, so this seems like a natural show for me to watch.
