There are two highly anticipated and very important events coming up in the Land O’Slattern. For one, in a few short weeks we will behold the majesty that is Comic Con 2010, a magical realm where the costumes are the real persona and you can encounter Richard Alpert enjoying a stroll through downtown San Diego. Although at the time if I knew he was capable of aging I would have plucked a few of those grey hairs for keeps! At Comic Con there is no better place to be your true self, stalk Joss Whedon, and take a picture with a shedding Chewbacca.
However the enjoyment begins early for me with the True Blood Season 3 premiere. I had the distinct pleasure of attending the show’s panel at last year’s Comic Con where there was no shortage of ill-fitting Merlotte’s waitress uniforms or idiotic questions from spectators (demonstrated in the strip below).
Although Alan Ball’s reaction may not have been quite so severe as I portrayed, the look of appall on his face at the time suggested he was thinking similarly. Curse that Stephanie Meyer for making half human/half vampire babies so gosh darn popular. However, I want to salute Charlaine Harris for writing such a modern vampire lovin’ woman as Sookie Stackhouse who can so enigmatically avoid getting knocked up by a vampire.
In conclusion, heed my warning Twihards: if any one of you so much as create a minute spark of wonder in the minds of any True Blood writer about adding a vampire baby this year, I will douse you in bottles of True Blood Carrie-style!! Though, of course, I learned from Eric to wear my hair back so as not to ruin my new highlights with blood.
