True Blood 2.11 "Frenzy" SPOILERS ABOUND ME HEARTIES!

[headvoid]

It's a Charlie Brooker reference to Sex and the City

 

[CaptainWacky]

Then I should have known.

 

[Tisiphone]

I feel ashamed for you now.

 

[Cassie]

Why can't True Blood have a two hour season finale, LIKE OTHER SHOWS DO SOMETIMES?

 

[CaptainWacky]

Racism.

 

[Tisiphone]

Against vampires.

 

[CaptainWacky]

And crumpled foreheads.

 

[Cassie]

And gap-toothed smiles!

 

[CaptainWacky]

AND MY AXE.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

And BLACKS (eyes)

 

[curiousa2z]

awww crap. so I take it we will NOT be seeing a two hour finale like other shows do sometimes.

 

[Cassie]

I don't think so. I was just wishing for stuff I can't have.

 

[Tisiphone]

I don't think shows on HBO or Showtime do two hour finales, though. Only those stupid ones like Lost which wrap nothing up whatsoever in their five hour finale.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Cable networks don't have the same incentive to do double-length finales -- the reason that broadcast networks do it is to sell more ad time at higher rates.

When a cable show is ending, they'll just allow the creators to expand the episode to suit the storytelling, so maybe they'll do a 75 or 90 minute ep instead of 60. But that's usually for a FINAL final episode, not a season finale.

 

[Tisiphone]

Just because.

 

[curiousa2z]

^Now see? I come home from work, I make myself a sandwich, I sit down to see what y'all up to and I get this to look at!!!

I love this place.

:mrsa:

 

[Cassie]

I JUST WANT AN EXTRA LONG EPISODE, OK?

 

[CaptainWacky]

Lost is better than True Blood.

 

[Tisiphone]

I JUST WANT AN EXTRA LONG EPISODE, OK?

I'd like an extra long something, and it ain't a TB episode.
