Hello to all of my fellow Sam fans!!

I have checked, and there does not seem to be a Spoiler-Free thread for Sam!
Therefore, I considered it important that I create one, since there may be many in our community who have not yet had the pleasure of reading the Sookie Stackhouse novels and short stories.

This thread is only for discussing Sam Merlotte on True Blood or Sam Trammell, the actor who plays Sam Merlotte!
No Book Discussion Allowed!

You may discuss Sam's character, Sam's relationships and storylines on True Blood, including speculations
on his story for future seasons. You may talk about fan-fiction that includes Sam.
You may talk about Sam Trammell, the actor, and how he plays the role of Sam Merlotte, or about other roles you've seen him in.

You may NOT mention any information about Sam from the novels/short stories written by Charlaine Harris!

That being said, I'd like to invite you all to join me in front of Sam's trailer at Merlotte's,
to chat about our favorite shape-shifter!

One last item: This forum is intended to be fun, and informative!
There is NO bashing of fellow contributors and their viewpoints allowed!!

Now, let's have fun!

What was up with Sam sneaking into Dawn's apartment and sniffing and rolling around on the sheets? Totally creepy. Thoughts?
