Discussion: BOOK 10 Speculation, and theory

"Living an extraordinary life huh? People trying to murder you every day ,being terrified all the time,watching people you care about die ,being tortured to the point you have mental and physical problems. For someone who likes hanging out in a bikini and is as vain as she is,having scars all over her body is going to matter. She's like those girls who date drug dealers ,cuz its exciting ,glamourous...til someone gets shot.

It would be interesting to see someone choose the "boring" life over the extraordinary life if you ask me.

There's an old Chinese curse ,it goes like this "may you live in interesting times" ,cuz interesting times,meaning time periods in history worth writing about usually means horrible things were going on. No one ever writes about the times in human history where everyone was happy,healthy,fed,....its interesting to read about,but horrible to live it.

I say Sookie goes with whatever makes her happy. I just want her to be honest about her real desires and follow that .

And CH going with Sam would not be the "safe" choice cuz she'll get tons of hate mail from both Bill and Eric fans. I wouldn't want to open her mail after that. "

"But just because that is possible does not mean that it is the case with Eric and Sookie. And this bond seems to tie them both to each other. I don't think that he expected to be this closely bound to Sookie. I also think that he is going to pay a pretty big price for it.

Even before they were bonded Sookie was confused about how she felt about Eric. Maybe even in denial about it. They had this strange little relationship long before the bond. So just because it is possible to be bonded to someone you don't like does not mean that it is the case in this instance.

Even if you look at CH's statements it says that it magnifies "existing currents and creates new ones" but it does not say that it creates false currents either. You may be tied to someone you loathe but that does not mean that suddenly you will love them. There seems to be an implication that when the blood is exchanged the human becomes subservient to the vampires will. We all know that is not the case with Sookie and Eric. Let's face it if that was the case they would not have had the argument they did in front of Victor.

"i would find it really coward from Charlaine if she makes Sookie end with Sam...it would be like if she is not brave enough to have a choice. kids?? sookie is living an extraordinary life... c'mon why all women should end with kids, husband, cleaning the kitxhen and making cakes?? umhhh"

"Red I agree with alot of your predictions the one I dont agree with is her ending up with sam, probably because I want her to end up with eric or bill...anyway thats my 2 cents"

"I wouldnt want to check her mail either....
I really dont see Sookie ever seeing Sam as more than a friend....if she did it, she would just be settling for someone and not really in love"

"en Sookie and Eric are talking in bed, Eric mentions that he has not fed a woman his blood in a long while - probably not since Pam.
(we assume he has made male children since then)
But we could take from this that there is a distinction in that.
Perhaps the bond of a Male/ Male is more brothers in arms like, and the bond of a Male/ Female is more confusing and therefore troubling, and therefore nothing to take lightly or do thoughtlessly, or for flippant or vein reasons.

I think it has been assumed that Eric asked Sookie to suck the bullet out in book 2 as a way to trick Sookie into drinking his blood - as a way to stick it to Bill ipso facto.

BUT - if giving a women you blood is SUCH a serious thing (as to not have done it in over a century) this reasoning seems pretty dismissive and glib.
If he would do it just to step on a subservient vamps toes - then you think Eric would have given PLENTY of women his blood in the time since he made Pam.

AND - remember, Eric had designs on Sookie almost as soon as he SAW HER, before "

"RedMercury,excellent points hon! your line about coveting what we see every day,wasn't that a line in Silence of the Lambs?

"Odd thought about the Eric Sookie thing.

When Sookie and Eric are talking in bed, Eric mentions that he has not fed a woman his blood in a long while - probably not since Pam.
(we assume he has made male children since then)

If he would do it just to step on a subservient vamps toes - then you think Eric would have given PLENTY of women his blood in the time since he made Pam.

AND - remember, Eric had designs on Sookie almost as soon as he SAW HER, before the knew how "Useful" she was.
In book one when Bill first takes Sookie to Fangtasia, Bill goes to get a drink, and Sookie FEELS Eric trying to put the whamma on her from a far - to get her to look at him. She tells Bill this - and Bill is pertubed as that means Eric is "breaking the rules even by trying".

I think if Sookie has a moment to think about all this - and connects the dots - then she can stop doubting that Eric's feelings are not some grand manipulation ( like Bills were in her mind), and she can maybe get over the Bill thing and Let her self feel for Eric by merit alone.
