Which are all(and rightfuly so) regarded as the best television shows ever(The Wire, Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Deadwood, all lots of f-words, sex and violence). Also, in the last issue it had descriptions of all these TV-shows that had been renewed, but with True Blood there were these little icons, like: SWEARING + SEX = CASH. It seems obvious that SciFiNow(ar at least some of it's writers/editors) hates True Blood. Unless I'm misreading it, but it also comes across this way in the podcasts. I've noticed this for as long as True Blood has been on the air, how there's a sense of negativity surrounding this show when I read SciFiNow. When really, it's arguably the best written/directed/acted (not only genre)show on TV at the moment. And for those who might take True Blood too seriously(story-wise), let's not forget it's like 50% percent a parody on the genre(Alan Ball "having fun").
