re: True Blood *May contain Spoilers!*

Yeah the recycling was sooo funny! lol

Although I'm not liking how the TV show is turning Eric into some blood-thirsty bad guy vampire. In the book he's much more calm, cool and collected and not some evil dude. He would never lock up a bunch of humans in some dungeon only to eat their intestines...lol! Although damn, that actor has one hot bod. *drool* BTW I found a clip of some of his earlier work prior to True Blood - be forewarned, some nudity in this:

YouTube - Alexander Skarsgård - Om Sara (About Sara) Part 5

Ok enough about that! lol

I'm liking this new girl Jessica, she's not actually in the books but I'm curious what mischief she'll get up to. I also thought it was so cute when Bill finally tells Sookie that he loves her. Aw

BTW, that Marianne character - isn't that the same actress who played Ro Laren in Star Trek TNG? Haha!

^ I read this interview with Alexander and he says that in the 2nd season we'll be seeing a different side to Eric (seems like inspiration from his character in the books).

link to the interview (mild spoiler alert!!!!)Alexander Skarsgård: 'There's More to Eric Than Being A Badass Vampire' - POPWRAP | Gossip | Entertainment | News

also, episode 2 preview!
YouTube - True Blood Season 2 Episode 2 Preview

btw I was able to find those because of a pretty good True Blood blog, Loving True Blood in Dallas. Good place to get your fix!

re: True Blood *May contain Spoilers!*

Love this show! I think they will def turn Lafayette and he is going to make one kick-ass vampire! I would hate to lose him on the show. I love how he stated that he was of low moral character so they could use him... He was so badass when he pull the metal out of the dead guys leg.

That bible camp is hilarious. I would rather poke myself repeatedly in the eye then be stuck there!

I def need to get the Sookie book series!

Well the whole Jessica thing isn't in the books so they're pretty liberal with their interpretation of the books - the show only takes certain storylines from the novels and they have changed or added additional characters and plotlines. So it's anyone's guess what will happen with Jessica as she wasn't in the books at all. I really like her though! Haha...

But a lot of the elements are the same as book 2, like the missing sheriff in Dallas, Eric wanting to hire Sookie to mind read, etc. I'm already excited for season 3 - those who read the books will know why LOL

I want to see more of Sam's story as well, I really liked him in season 1.

I just finished the third book and I'm super excited to see how they adapt the third season from the book... because the book was so good I hope they don't change anything. haha

I really like the Jessica character too. She's really interesting and I can't wait to see how they play her out. I'm also excited for how the rest of season plays out after reading the 2nd book.

re: True Blood *May contain Spoilers!*

I have to say, the ending of episode 2, season 2 was so lame. It was very illogical.

When Jessica was starting to attack her family, Sookie could have just told them to rescind her invitation and she'd have to leave the house. Instead she just stood there shouting "Jessica, stop!" LOL

Also, when Bill finally arrives and hypnotizes the lil girl, Jessica was just standing around waiting, she could have mauled her father by that point. It was just silly, I liked the idea but they could have improved the time sequence in the script.

re: True Blood *May contain Spoilers!*

Yeah, everyone else was raving about episode 2 but I really didn't like it as much as I liked the premiere.

Also, Jessica wasn't attacking her father because Bill demanded that she stop, and when your maker calls, you gotta listen (hence book 3!).

But I definitely agree that Sookie was being dumb. I think she's my least favorite character on the show. At least Bill (who I loathe in the books) I enjoy for his great unintentionally comedic lines.

re: True Blood *May contain Spoilers!*

Yeah I was gonna say that Bill commanded her as her maker to stop. I think Sookie had good intentions but she forgot Jessica was a new vampire and not a human friend.

I liked the episode because it's starting to get into the real story line now... next weeks episode starts the books major plot.

Layfaette asking to be turned was great... i hope Eric did it. Overall, I'm pleased with the way the season is going.

re: True Blood *May contain Spoilers!*

I liked the 2nd episode much better than the first. I was really dissapointed that the first showed no signs of having any storylines from the actual book but it looks like they are bringing the "party" in from the 2nd book which I thought was really interesting.
Even though it is so different, I'm beginning to love where things are going in the show, especially if Lafayette does become a vampire

Maybe they couldn't recsind her invitation because it was actually her house to.

Thats a good point... technically its Jessica's house too. It'll be interesting to see how Bill cleans up the mess considering that Jessica's dad doesn't seem like a nice guy at all.

I'm also loving how the season is turning out. Reading the books I was worried I would be disappointed but I'm not at all.

re: True Blood *May contain Spoilers!*

I'm just not a huge fan of Sookie in the tv series. Which is a shame, because for the most part I love love love her in the books. While I feel she's pretty immature at times in the books, she seems immature and bratty ALL the time in the series...she's supposed to be smart, loyal, etc. and in the series I just don't see that (yet). Hopefully it'll start to turn around soon. Being so early in, I have hope.

Also, was anyone annoyed how she was comparing Jessica to a normal teenager? Yea, there are similarities...but she's a VAMPIRE. Jesus! At least give Bill credit, he's 100+ years older than you so I bet he knows what he's talking about lol.

re: True Blood *May contain Spoilers!*

Well, even if it was her own home, I thought that from the books, a vampire could not enter any mortals' home without an invitation, so I guess that would even count for Jessica, since she isn't a mortal anymore. Because remember when she wanted to go inside, she hinted at her mother to invite her in. And yeah, I guess she did listen to Bill because he was her maker, but then why was he in such a frenzy to get inside? And why would Bill have to now kill the family? It makes no sense. I dunno, I thought that whole scene was not well thought out by the show writers, just shows that sometimes these added plots could detract from Charlaine Harris' original vision.

I hope they do get into the actual plot now from book 2, I guess it will start now in episode 3.

I actually like Anna Paquin as Sookie she makes her a bit more mature, what annoyed me in the books is how Charlaine Harris would always refer to how big Sookie's boobs were and what outfit she was wearing in a particular scene. That really irritated after a while because it was so pointless and shallow, lol. I kept thinking, OK I get it already! Sookie has big knockers that seemingly every man and vampire can't get enough of!! It was just so silly. And was it just me that thought the outfits that Harris always described were really tacky? Haha!

re: True Blood *May contain Spoilers!*

From what I got from that scene, it seemed like Jessica's father was abusive in some way? The way she got into his face and undid his belt was very... suspicious. And we all know what Bill did to Sookie's dirty uncle. As far as I can tell, the only one Bill seems to be planning on harming is Jessica's dad, not her whole family.

And yeah, Charlaine's sense of fashion is definitely lacking--pretty much everything Sookie's ever worn in the books was tacky as hell! Those pants she wore in book 2 that laced down the sides and a belly shirt with it? What is she, a stripper? Awful! I'm so glad the show has updated... well, everyone's fashion sense. Bill was pretty tacky too--Dockers and easy listening on the radio?

Wasn't he wearing like corduroy and golf sweaters in some scenes too? LOL Yeah the outfit descriptions were so horrible! Glad someone else noticed that.

The moment Bill shows up in Crocs, I'm going to have to put the book DOWN.

The worst part is, all of these books were written from 2000 on! There's no excuse for Charlaine's poor fashion sense. I'm pretty sure not even Walmarts in the deepest of the deep south still carry pants that lace up on the sides!

re: True Blood *May contain Spoilers!*

You'd be suprised at what people wear in little hick towns in the South lol. I've seen MANY outfits similar to Sookie's haha. I think she was just trying to give Sookie that typical trashy small town look to exaggerate on how secluded and sheltered Sookie is from the rest of the world and to show that Renard Parish is kind of in a world of its own ATM.
She did wear Diane Von Furstenburg later in the books though! Even though she didn't buy it haha :P

and I'm LOVING Eric's character! Alexander does an amazing job at capturing that unique cool cockiness that Eric has in the books and I am SO looking forward to seeing more of Eric!

The Fellowship of the Sun is a MAJOR part of the second book... actually its the whole last half of the book at least. Not having it in the show would completely take away from why the story once she goes to Dallas. I haven't watched the episode yet so i'll have more comments after I have.

I know, I'm talking about the added storyline. they're not in Dallas yet and everything they have added about the Fellowship has gone nowhere. Once they get to Dallas and everything it'll be exciting but so far I havn't been impressed with the added storyline of Jason and the Fellowship
