Angry. Season 4 of delicious True Blood is being written up in guides. Should be a moment to enjoy pictures of the gorgeous cast and squeal with delight at a witty pithy write up that gets you all excited about tuning in and returning to Bon Temps. No. Instead, Angry. TV Week (page 10 August 8-20 issue) says: "After spending most of the past few seasons in relationships with unsuitable men, Tara (Rutina Wesley) finds herself mixed up in a witches coven, ..." and SMH The Guide (August 14 -2) says: "Tara (Rutina Wesley) has run away to become a cage fighter ..." Neither publication thought it necessary to mention TARA HAS A GIRLFRIEND, and though (i'm only up to ep 4) she hasn't given herself a label IS PROBABLY A LESBIAN or BISEXUAL or QUEER or something. No, it's only a really queer show all about out-ness and examining prejudice... it would make far too much fucking sense to mention the developments in Tara's sexuality, wouldn't it? Fuck Australia. Fuck making lesbians invisible. Fuckety fuck fuck. Angry.
Love,
Ridiculous.
P.S. Lots more to say about True Blood. Interesting. Another day...
