Yeah, I don't know what's with the egg either, that's a total plot divergence from the book and in all of the books there was never anything to do with a big egg.

Then again in the books Tara wasn't a. as present and b. wasn't Black.

Who do you all think will be the sacrifice? Maybe Sam or Lafayette? I really don't want them to kill off any of the characters but I think it may be Sam.

I doubt they will kill Sam off. As far as the queen goes-i was annoyed with her. I just wanted to shake her to get her to tell Bill what he needed to know so he could leave. I thought she was overdramatic. Eric as always looked yummy even in that hideous shirt/skirt. Two weeks without TB will be hard but I just bought season 1 so will rewatch these to get by.

Well again, if we're going by the books somewhat, it won't be Sam...but I don't think it will be Lafayette either as the Queen said it needed to be someone supernatural. I don't know where they're taking this one.

Maybe the telepath Sookie met in Texas will be the sacrifice?

Doubtful, telepaths aren't supernatural. They're talking about werewolves, shapeshifters, etc... I have a feeling it will somehow involve Sam, but he won't actually die, however Bill will cause it thus pissing off Sookie and sending her to sexy boy aka Eric.

I just watched most of season 1 last night. I will always prefer Sookie with Bill. I really hope they don't change that (though I do love me some Eric).

All you Bill lovers, I used to like him...until I read the books. That's all I'm saying. If you want to know more, PM me, I won't post any spoilers.

I haven't read the books, but I did some wikipedia-ing. I think they put some subtle hints in the show.

Would you recommend reading the books?

Part of what makes True Blood seem kind of terrible at times, I think, it trying to deal with the kind of campy narration of the books. In my opinion the horrible southern accents and what will occasionally come off as terrible and inconsistent acting, might be attempts to deal with the kind of Sweet Potato Queens narrative style in the books.

But I have such limited experience with the books that I don't want to miss a good thing if they are one.

I have read all the books but for the show I like for Bill to be with Sookie.

I loved the books as well (and I really hate to read anything other than medical or financial journals/books).

If you like a quick campy read, sure, go for it. Wal-mart had the whole series on sale for like $27 a couple of days ago online. I enjoyed them.

I just finished reading the 4th book. I enjoy the books more than the seires. The show is just a little to graphic for me.

The only part I had to fast forward through when re-watching the first season was when the woman that removes the demon from Tara's mom drowned the opossum. I do opossum rescue and that just enraged me. BTW they don't make noises like that (they don't scream). plus I don't like the dead opossum in the opening credits but I just close my eyes when that part comes on. Otherwise I am use to goriness (if that is a word:).

Wow, just Wow. I can't say anything more until the West coast sees it, but WOW!

That was an awesome finale with a VERY unexpected ending. But I'll have to re-watch it when it re-airs since my neighbor got locked out of her apartment and knocked on my door right in the middle of the episode!
