I've been having a harder and harder time dealing with the blood on the show. This week's episode was almost too much - Franklin exploding, Talbot turning into sticky goo, and the end with the anchor - I got sick to my stomach.
BTW, I found this great breakdown of all the characters (I haven't read the books):

Which leads me to a question. On this page, it said that Talbot is Russell's human companion, but in the show, he's a vampire. In the books, is Talbot human or vampire?
