I was wondering if the True Blood series was going to follow the books or if Alan Ball was going to change things a little. Well it looks like I got my answer.
Ball has gotten to know author Charlaine Harris, who wrote the book series on which "True Blood" is based, and said he's not going to cater to fan demands for a direct book-to-screen translation.
Looks like he will change some things...which I think will be good...it will give him some creative leeway.
I think people sometimes put too much thought into things about what they think something is...
The prejudices Ball's vampires face as a newly visible presence echoes what ABC tried to do with the sitcom "Cavemen" last fall, a situation some chose to interpret as a metaphor for the struggle of gay America or African-Americans.
I don't know where people come up with some of the crap they say. Someone could say something that may not even be true, and people will believe it and spread it along. People read too much into metaphors...or just make them up and see what people will do with the information. I can't stand it when people say stuff thats not true and it then runs like wild fire. I just hope Alan Ball sticks to his creativity.
