Reading the comments comparing the books to the show got me much more interested in picking the books back up and so I finished Club Dead last night. While I was reading I was sort of analyzing the characters and comparing them to how they were portrayed on the show. Eric really stood out to me and I was curious to see what yall thought.
On the show he seems like this oh-so-powerful, super serious and extremely desirable vampire void of all human emotion (minus the whole Godrick thing). I know he makes it clear that he wants Sookie, but he stays so cool about it.
In the books I feel like he almost gets a little desperate when it comes to Sookie and he seems a lot more emotionally invested (kinda a bit of a dork sometimes). I guess I just can't see him on the show saying some of the things he does in the book.
Possible Explanations I thought of:
-maybe this season he will go through some major character development and gain back some humanity
-maybe they just wanted to make him edgier for the show
-or maybe I just have a huge crush on Alexander Skarsgård (definitely the correct answer)
