But again we have to make sure we're consistant here....We can't scream "stay true to the books ar we'll never forgive you" and then change the way the honeymoon scene is in the book by adding more to it.

its not technically adding more to it :lol: because it is what happens essentially its just that stephenie alludes to it and doesnt describe it word for word.

True Blood is made for adults, it is not PG13 it is MA for Mature Audiences which is supposed to be 17 or 18 and up. (depends on where you look whether it's 17 or 18), True Blood also has a lot of graphic sex scenes in the book so it's not surprising that it's in the show. Add to that it's HBO which are pay channels, anything goes during any time of day. The premium channels don't have to stick to time restrictions for nudity as they play movies 24/7 which many might have some nudity.

I think comparing TB to Twilight is comparing apples and oranges, you are targeting 2 completely different age groups here with the ratings IMO

It least here in the states HBO is a premium channel you have to pay extra to have.

yeah that wasnt exactly where i was going with that anyway i was just saying that to say that anything that could be shown in Breaking dawn would be shocking or too shocking to show is a little stupid as there are far worse things shownin general on tv/in films. and over here its shown on a main tv channel tha you dont have to pay for at like 9 o clock :lol:

That's very true!! (Way to put us in our place. :lol: ) I actually don't care if they don't show more than what's in the book. (Even though obviously there are fans that want them to show a lot of stuff. Make it Rated R.)


I havne't seen TB. Nor do I want to. I've heard about it & that's why I haven't seen it.


I love the fact that SM's going to be a producer. It'll be neat for her to get involved.

wow o.k. well this is going to take some explaining........ o.k. well firstly over here we have 4 channels that are funded by a form of tax called a t.v. licence, but its not that we pay a subscription to get that channel you have to pay for a t.v. licence in order to watch t.v., its shown on one of those channels- channel 4 which everyone can watch, however its is also shown on a sky channel called FX that you do have to pay a subscription to get :lol:

So do you only have 4 channels period. Or you have regular channels but than you have to pay for this Lic. to get these other 4 channels?

Like for us, we have the basic local channels everyone gets, example, ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX than you can get expanded cable and get channels like MTV,Discovery, etc. Than you can get premium channels and that is your HBO, Showtime, and so on and the shows on there.
Satellite works much the same, but their are many different Tiers.

HBO is on the premium channels and you have to pay the extra for and that is shown only on that channel. I don't know if anyone here has heard of Dexter, but that is for sure rated R and it was on Showtime, but one of the local channels played a season of it, it had to be edited and cut down so much that it didn't last. It took way to much away to have to butcher it for "regular viewing" that everyone could get.

Thanks for explaining. I guess I never thought TV was much different in regards to cable and all that in other countries. (I have only been to Mexico) I mean I know a lot more is allowed in some countries, but as far as how cable and local channels and all that is I thought was the same. It's interesting to hear about the differences.
