"How childish of Bill, going to complain to the queen about Eric.......Oh my queen please do something about Eric, he has his eyes on my woman ."That is hilarious and oh so true. I just got from a week at the beach and am catching up on all your posts. Too funny! Do you find this valuable? |

"Totally agree also lacks of sleep, and reading to much fan fic..woo I just think Bill would have seen the plus side of the RAT attack on Sookie. Of course it may have only been obviouse after the fact. He talked a naive Sookie into taking his blood for zero reason before he took her back to Fangtasia. "I always get my facts mixed up to between the fan fic, the show, and the book. I have conversations with one of my friends and i'll say something along the lines of " no wait but didn't Eric say that ... nope wait that was in a fan fic i read last night ... or was it on the show ... or maybe it was in book 7 ... i'll look it up tonight." lol Do you find this valuable? |

I hated to see Godric "meet the sun," but I am glad he did it on his own terms, like he did in the book... and that Sookie was there with him at the end, that was right...They just changed the location...Seeing Eric plead & cry for him was sad and not at all what we have become accustomed to, as classic Eric behavior, so I was taken by surpise at how moved by it I really was. But Stan is dead? Wait, wasn't he supposed to become the King of Texas and show up at the Summit at Rhodes...in book 7? Not sure on the book # because it has been a while since I read the first 7 books. i guess he won't be at the summit now...if they even do that part. Do you find this valuable? |

So i just got two things to say ...1) Not that i'm complaining or anything but why does it only take a few drops of Eric's blood to make the blood bond? 2) Didn't Lorena just ruin that dream sequence of Sookie's. I was like get out of my ... i mean ...Sookie's dream you jerk! Do you find this valuable? |

"So i just got two things to say ...I think that the term blood bond is used differently in the series than in the books. The reason that it only takes a few drops for them to have a connection is due to his age. It makes his blood strong. The thing that I loved about the dream sequence is that it was classic Eric and Sookie from the book. The way they just talked. I also don't mind that Stan was killed. Stan in the series was not Stan from the books. Do you find this valuable? |

I agree with not caring if Stan is gone or not. Why does AB insist on using characters from the books name if they are nothing like the characters in the book. Stan and Eggs for example. I don't get it.

I only disagree about Eggs, he made Tara go to the orgy parties and after the maenad attack he pretty much dies or disappears in a weird way. So i think he's closer to the way he was in books. Stan they mad more like Farrel just not gay. But I don't care either way, except to say, Stan is in other books and its weird he's gone..

"So i just got two things to say ...Lorena is there to be a manifestation of Sookie's guilt about dreaming about lying with Eric, while she's actually lying in bed with Bill, or she's there to remind her how easily Sookie is forgetting about Bill. or both. I do agree, at Eric's age, it would only take a drop to get inside her for there to be that reaction. So, if Bill had allowed Eric to heal Sookie with his blood after the maenad attack, she would have healed instantly, due to the strength of eric's blood. But Bill was being selfish, because he knew what would happen...and now it has. Do you find this valuable? |

ok, this is a little off the current topic of the "dream" but it still fits under this heading.Is anyone else a little perplexed at the change in Sam's character from the books to the series? Here he's supposed to be secretly in love with sookie, but in the series he starts screwing around with tara. then with daphne. and then he has the nerve (in episode was it 1 or 2 in the second season) to tell sookie that he's tired of "charing my ass on your backburner" cause she is trying to be friendly. I mean, apparently (or at least, I would think - if I were Sookie) he has moved on and we can talk about our lives like we're friends not pissed off lovers! What's up with that? Anyone else see this as a major character flaw? Do you find this valuable? |

"ok, this is a little off the current topic of the "dream" but it still fits under this heading.I have pretty much given up on Sam characters in the show being anything like the book ever since AB put Sam and Tara together. A lost cause in my eyes. Do you find this valuable? |

Did anyone else actually find Jason amusing last time. Alot of the time I really don't care for him and he just plain gets on my nerves. But last night I found myself laughing at his confidence in fighting his "war"
