"well as a victim of rape, I have never forgiven the man. I felt Sookie when she was telling him to stop and no matter what she did or said he didn't. I don't hold any grudges toward him because I took it as a lesson well learned. Never again would I put myself in a situtation where I will not have control. I was 11 he was 19 and a very good 'friend' of the family.
This is why regardless of who thinks it wasn't Bills fault, I disagree. He knew she had rescued him, yes barely, but I think when he smely the fae in her his real nature came out. A vampire is a vampire no matter what appearance they give."

"Hi Christie!
So happy to hear you are enjoying season 2 so far!!
I got your messages and have responded just before I came to the thread, so when you get a chance, read them, and write me back!

Great question, yet again!
Physically, I would not change a thing about Sam! He's just perfect the way he is!
(I know... surprise, surprise! LOL)

So that leaves his attitude:
So what would I change?...
Oh, that's too easy! His quick temper!
While I know what he's doing what he does, and saying what he does out of love for Sookie, and out of his desire to protect her, his frustration, sadness and feelings of rejection makes him angry... He yells at her, grabs her out of her chair and pulls her kinda roughly down the hall, & snatches the scarf off her neck. These behaviors are not always the best way to make her listen to him!
Sookie takes a defensive stance against all of these situations. That is very understandable!"

"As one who hasn't read the books, I don't really have a problem with the way Eric and Bill are being portrayed. I see a definite, albeit very subtle, shady side to Bill that has been building all along, since season 1. I also see a great many good qualities in Eric, even aside from the Godric epi's. A fall from grace is imminent for Bill and Eric "will rise up", imo. It is inevitable.

My problem was the dearth of screen time for Eric after IWRU. WTH was THAT? I don't believe for one second AB didn't know ASkars/Eric would blow up after 8 and 9, he HAD to know. This is showbiz baby, and I get that he wanted to build anticipation but to totally fail to deliver a satisfying payoff? Poorly played, AB. I'm sure he knows that the finale ratings were mostly due to people tuning in hoping BAMF ERIC would deal with the maenad. Why he didn't play it that way I'll never understand. Not only would it have made more sense, but it would have been exponentially more exciting, compared to the "meh, who cares" resolution we ended up with."

"Unfortunately, I think I can only take one trip a year...funds don't allow for more :( Maybe NOLA in 2011 for me though?"

"Yes i agree with everything you said, they have great chemistry I think that has been obvious since S02E03 Scratches, when Sookie gives Eric that evil look but it seems like there is something behind it, even though she would never admit that because of what Eric did to Lafayette. And in S02E08 the chemistry was really obvious, like when they were at the church and Eric leaned over and said "trust me" Sookie was so tense and it looked like she wasnt even breathing, but she didnt back away or anything. Also, the looks they gave each other before he was chained to the altar were intense too. And finally, the dreams were amazing. The chemistry was definitely there, especially when Eric grabbed her hand and started kissing her, and when she stroked his fangs and turned her neck for him to bite her."
