"I have to agree with you on Eric. He is not a villain. He's sexy, and he has a quirky sense of humor. The getting highlights was a little over the top. Sookie and Eric have a much more interesting relationship in the books. He always comes through for Sookie (the paved driveway, the new coat, the $50,000, blood for strength, etc.) without making her feel like a dependent person. Sookie said,"That's what I like about Eric, he "gets" me. I'd really like to see an episode on Eric with memory loss at Sookies house.

Bill has not always been comletely honest with Sookie. I became less and less attracted to the Bill's character until the 9th book."

"Just a though: We never saw Eric 'at work' in the books, because Sook never witnessed that side of him. (the drawback of first person novels)
But Eric is a Sheriff, his job - among other things - is to control the vamps in his area and also make sure they are safe. As he said, vampire attacks are on the rise. His methods may be barbaric, but he is a vampire. Bill tore apart and fed on the drainers in season one, and ripped the throat out of Uncle Bartlett. (and good for him!) It's just part of what they are. ("we don't have human values") The dungeon was horrifying I think, in part, because Lafayette is such an incredibly cool and sympathetic character, and we hated to see him like that. It's easy to forget that he is(was) a V dealer, and as such, he is considered an enemy to vampires. Eric answers to higher powers, he can't be having vamps in his Area drained and killed (like what happened to Bill and whatshisname Jason and his girl abducted and staked)
I personally like seeing the scary side of the vamps.
But I am confident we'll see more of the prancing peacock that is the Eric we know and love as the season continues.
Hopefully we'll get to see Bill do his vampire thing, too, at some point!

"You make me want to read the books!"

" I guess Sookie getting mauled is prob going to be with Mary-Ann not wanting Tara to move out instead of Eric's tribute stuff in the book. Yet another Eric part bites the dust.

"stan is in the show, he is played by Ed quinn who is frickin hot, not geeky like he is protrayed in the show.i

Erics tracksuit was only the shirt his pants were a pair of dockers or dickies, but did anyone else know when he bent over he is wearing black underwear heh heh.

Sookie right now I think is faker than fake, they need to amp her up a bit."

"I have to agree that AB may be trying to limit the number of character lines he has going. I have watched the new ep a couple of times now. I was watching the preview for the coming ep. Does anyone else think that Amanda will play a bigger role? She was the girl at the FOTS who passed out the rings and also sang the song. If you go by LDID, Luna was a shifter who helped rescue Sookie. So, is this Amanda, the were that we meet later in the books? Will she play Luna's part? I would be a great way to introduce the Weres. Is Jason there to help save his sister too?

I would like to think that Laf will be there to either help protect Sookie (like Bubba) or maybe fill in at Merlotte's later.

I've seen other threads where people try to guess what MA is. She is the maenad, right!?! In the book, the maenad has a pig. MA was seen with a pig, twice. She also feeds off of peoples drunken/sexual states...like the Maenad again. I really think the preview for the party at MA's, will be the equivalant to the orgy in the books.

I love the books and the series nearly as much. It's fun trying to piece everything together. I just wish I had a better handle on Jessica's future role. This season is just getting good. EP3 is going to start ramping things up.
I sooooooooo hope they keep this show going...I have to see all the Sookie and Eric parts. Not to mention a few steamy scenes with Quinn......Vin Diesel maybe?

Ooooooo I LOVE THIS!!!"

"I honestly think that if you don't bring in the other supes then there really isn't no point in making any more of the show after this season because from this point on is basically surrounded by nothing but the vamps, were's, and all of the above."
