Thank God. I think the show is WAY better than the books. Let's be honest, after the fifth book the author just lost her mojo plus if the show was a straight adaptation of the books it would be a little uneventful for those who read the books.

Overall, I did NOT like how they did things for tonight's episode. The majority of it was just laughable. I know that things cannot be exactly like the book but for this first episode it was 100% different. Hopefully it gets better as the season continues! Has anyone watched the second episode with hbogo.com?

I agree. I'm gonna say that the show develops and portrays the characters better than the books do. Other than Sookie, all of the characters seem so one dimensional in the books, which is a big fail (on the books) IMO. Arlene, Jason, Sam, Tara, and Lafayette's stories in the show are well appreciated by me.
