It stays fairly close to the books, until the third season, and even then, it's not so different you wouldn't recognise it.

sorry - submitted my question before refreshing the screen. That pretty much answers my question!

Sooo from how it sounds I might be surprised either way...? :)

YEah, the first book and season one are pretty spot on, same with the Living Dead in Dallas and season two, minus the huge MaryAnne storyline in season two. I hope that the following seasons deviate somewhat more because after the fifth book shit just gets too out there for my tastes.

I just want Eric and Sookie together. LOL.

*Covering eyes and yelling LALALALA* I don't want to read spoilers!!

I read Dead in the Family in two days right before season 3 aired, I am so far ahead it was kinda hard to get back into the on screen storyline.... BUT I'M BACK! :) I was kind of disappointed with the premiere too but I liked the last one. No spoilers but that dream sequence with Sam had me like WTF!!!!

The more I watch this, the more I wonder "Why do I watch this and why can't I stop?" It's just so bizarre yet so compelling at the same time.

I had free HBO this weekend, so I caught up on a lot of season 2 yesterday. Thank goodness I have an open floor plan, so I could do other things while watching it.

Sooo.....how about that sex scene and the end of episode 3 season 3. :eek::confused:

um ewww lol

i'm watching now since i missed it last night. should i fast forward through the end? lol...

I spent so much time hating Eric during s1 and most of s2 BUT after sunday's episode I'm kinda falling in love.

One thing that will never change-my burning hatred for Lorena...end of e3?! My boyfriend and I watch the show every week with 2 other couples and I wish someone could have snapped a picture of our faces as that all was happening

I've read all the books now, and I love Eric much more than Bill, in the show and the books. DAMN they made Alcide HOT in the show... not how I pictured him in my mind, but I like! I can deal with all sorts of male eye candy. :)

Alcide is just how I pictured him :) And I was "ewwww" to the whole Bill/Lorena thing too, even if its pretty close to what happens in the book. Calvin Norris was just like I pictured him too, even though I'm kinda irked they made Hotshot into a bunch of meth heads. Calvin is one of my fave characters. In the books, Calvin is the only one of them that has a steady job and is just described as "a good guy" and in the show his house is a meth lab LOL!

Cal is pretty much how I pictured him too. I can't wait for future seasons and how (if?) they incorporate the witches and fae!
