I didn't too much care for last night's episode either. But I'm pretty sure I felt the same about last year's season premiere but ended up loving season 3. So hopefully they're just trying to establish the new story lines (after all, an entire year has passed) and things will get better.

I am not a FAN-fan of the show, but I enjoyed last nights episode. It felt like a soap opera to me and I liked it.

Yea, I think this is all just set up...IMO, the 2nd eppy is better....I'm developing a crush on Eric (finally)....

It shows promise, so I will reserve judgement.

You can also watch the second episode on demand. I too was a bit disappointed with the first episode but the second was better.

Just watched the second episode. Yup, much better. :D

I was kinda WTFing the first episode too. I guess the whole storyline of the books has been thrown out the window. I really REALLY hope they don't try to throw in the fae war stuff this season...........would make it WAAAAY too cumbersome. I know that Claude is going to be in this season (although I am sure there is not a man hot enough on earth to play Claude LOL) but I wonder if Niall is going to show up too? Meh......I was so hoping to see a naked Eric running down Hummingbird Rd :(

1st episode was not good but did enjoy the 2nd. :)

The whole witches storyline still has me on the fence but we'll see how it plays out.

The 2nd episode was really good, much better than the 1st. I just finished reading the most recent Sookie Stackhouse series book, it was interesting. I'm curious to see where it will go with the next one.

2nd episode was really good.

I read in Entertainment Weekly that this season is "semi" based off of book 4. Well I guess in that book (which I haven't read), Eric and Sookie consummate their relationship in a hot and heavy shower scene. The interviewee (whoever it was) said they weren't sure if they would go that route this season.

Just give me some Eric and Sookie lovin' and I'm good to go. Give me more of Alexander topless and I'm good to go as well.

OMG, I want this Eric.

Thank you Mr. Ball for killing Claudine...

That actress playing Claudine sucked anyway.

Even after this week's episode? Not liking him... he's like a toddler with fangs. Ugh.

Meh. The whole episode rubbed me the wrong way. Why didn't Bill smell Eric on Sookie when she wouldn't let him in the house? I'm so tired of Sam's brother's storyline, and the shit with Jason is being drug out too much.

All I need is a shirtless Alcide...
