True Blood on HBO

[WinniBug]

We don't have HBO, so I haven't seen the show, but I am working my way though the books....has anyone else read any of them? I've heard them describes as "Twilight with sex". lol

I just finished Dead Until Dark, and I'm about 50 pages into Living Dead in Dallas. They're pretty good so far and much better than the Twilight series IMO.

I have read all nine which is a feat for me b/c I hate to read. I was so addicted that I read all of them in 4 weeks, can't wait till #10 comes out. I also watch the show. I like them both even though they are different. I have not read Twilight yet.

I also just finished Dead until Dark. It was literally like watching the show...the first few chapters were just like the first few episodes.

i started reading the books years ago. I like them - and the show is pretty good.

Dude, I'm so in on the Eric/Sookie thing, Eric is hot. Bill is just kind of meh to me.
Sad about Godric, but saw it coming (helps that I've read all the books except #9).
Jason is funny, I'm still cracking up about last week's episode and the paintball to the forehead.

ETA: I'm also loving Jessica, she is good!

ETA2: Just looked up Eric on IMDB - he was in Generation Kill, I didn't even recognize him. He was also in Zoolander.

The actors on True Blood were hitting on all cylinders last night.. the supporting cast is fantastic.. this show is GREAT

The episode was TOO SHORT!! I know that HBO wants to promo their stuff, but to only get :46 min out of the episode, when the others run at least 5 min longer was CHEATING us. I was not amused.

Personally, I'm getting tired of the Marianne (Mary Ann, however she spells it) storyline. Jason as God was absolutely hilarious though. I haven't decided whether they will resolve the Marianne thing this season or use it in a cliff hanger for next, since there are only two episodes left this season.

So, the Queen? What do we think? I like how they are taking inspiration from the books but not necessarily remaining totally faithful. Jason was cracking me up this episode. He's gotten some good lines recently. Damn, Lafayette...really?

Eric is still hot.

[DiamondAthena]

Love the queen, Can't believe they got Lafayette, but most importantly.... WTF is in that egg?!! I was horrified and my husband said frm the time Eggs and Tara hooked up that Mary Ann was "breeding black ppl" I was until now I mean what in holy hell batman!

[AOII_LB93]

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.

[aggieAXO]

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.

[AOII_LB93]

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.
