The Trouble with HBO Shows *Spoilers for True Blood*

In general, I am a fan of HBO series. They have tighter writing, they aren’t constrained by sponsor input or censoring, and they tend to get some of the best actors–those who wouldn’t think of doing network television are still drawn to HBO shows.

After watching the cliffhanger of True Blood last night, though, I was reminded of the worst part of getting hooked on an HBO series: the horribly long hiatus. We have to wait until summer 2009 to find out how the cliffhanger elements play out.

* Spoilers follow *

At least seven months to find out what is up with Mary Ann. Seven months to find out where Sam is going with all that money. Seven months to find out just how annoying a newly created vampire with a Christian chip on her shoulder can be. And seven months to find out whether my wonderful Lafayette is dead, knocked out, or turned into a vampire.

I think I will have to read the entire series of books by Charlaine Harris. I don’t know if I can stand to wait so long to find out what is up.
