Anyone else out there True Blood fans? Looking very forward to S3 starting up. HBO has S1 & 2 on "on demand".

Yeah, Im getting pretty anxious for S3 to start up. True Blood is no Being Human but still one of the best shows on tv. Anyone read the series?

I'm so glad it's coming back on. The timing is perfect because there's nothing on TV right now!

I know thats the only good thing about it taking so long to come back.
I'm so excited, I've already watched the 6 minisodes on the HBO webiste that shows what everyone did after the killing in the last ep of season 2. I read the books and I'm hoping the minisodes are simliar to her book of shorts where she sort of fills in some blanks. Otherwise I just watched the majority of the 1st ep.

I edited that post, the minisodes are on the hbo site... what's the new book?! How did I miss its release?

ETA: found it! Going to get it promptly, it will give me my fix until next week

I recently got season two on blu Ray and am watching it in prep of season three. I didn't know they had mini episodes online, I'll have to check em out. I enjoyed book three so I'm interested in seeing how closely they follow the storyline. Judging from what previews I've seen it seems that Alcide is going to be a character, I think Claudette and Claude show up in the third book as well.

Can I just see some Sookie and Eric action. LOL.

Wait, can I just see Alexander Skarsgaard (Eric) topless more often!

PiKA2001 · #12 06-15-2010, 10:05 PM

So what'd you guys think? I like how the show seems to be switching lanes from the book with Sophie Ann selling V via Eric and the whole Jessica/Hoyt sub plot. I find myself liking the show better than the books because it's not as Sookie-centric.

IrishLake · #13 06-15-2010, 11:01 PM

I still like it, even though it's not following the books storyline to a T. I'm glad they didn't kill off Lafayette like in the books. Sophie Ann bugs the crap out of me on the show, though. Not how I imagined her at all.

I can't wait for the Weres to come into the picture all the way!

ColdInCanada11 · #14 06-15-2010, 11:08 PM

To be honest, I was disappointed with the premier. Ditto on Sophie Anne, I pictured her being completely different. I also thought the Bill/Sam thing to be really off... Hopefully, the season picks up!

LOVED IT! not to mentioned my boyfriend was psyched about the introduction of the wolves...

Quick question, dont mean to change subject but after seeing season 1 I started reading Dead Until Dark and found that the show stays VERY true to the book... so for anyone who has read more of the books - does it continue to follow so closely? I don't know what I'd rather do...spoil the suspense of the show by reading ahead in the books or spoil the suspense of the books by reading them after the show?! lol oh the dilemna!
