OK, but you're paying for dinner.

I decided to read the first book because a friend of mine has them all anyway. It was a really quick read, a little over 200 pages so small and fairly easy. Tara ins't in the first book at all. In fact it has Arlene as Sookie's best friend. No one is selling "v" and Lafayette is the one who is murdered and left in the police car.Other than that, it is fairly similar. There is still lots of sex but it is mostly implied... mostly.

BTW, I enjoyed the latest episode... The whole year absence of Sookie gave this season a lot of content to catch up with. I hear parts of it are supposed to be back on track with the book.

Let's see the money first... half now, half after.

by **Fievel** on Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:17 pm

I actually found Tara to be pleasant in this last episode. Weird, I know.

by **justcheckin** on Sun Jul 10, 2011 11:01 pm

Hehehe... sorry

What a great ending. I like this Eric.
Bad ass Pam is back too, and I quote, "I will eat, fuck and kill every one of you." CLASSIC!

by **Nice Marmot** on Mon Jul 11, 2011 8:39 am

This thing w/ Sam's annoying brother better be going somewhere.

Other than that, this season is alread better than last.

by **swoop91** on Mon Jul 11, 2011 12:32 pm

+1 and can someone please finally kill off Tara?

by **theangiechrist** on Mon Jul 11, 2011 6:01 pm

I'm a "late watcher" as I just stared watching this season becasue of all the hype it gets. It reminds me so much of the Larurell K Hamilton stuff out there. I used to dig her books with all the bloody and porny moments until the wereleopards and wererats and stuff started coming around. I guess this show isn't much different LOL

I'll give it a go, though. Not much else on in the summer.

by **Fievel** on Tue Jul 12, 2011 12:02 am

Love the new Eric. His smile at the very last moment before the credits hit was possibly one of the best moments of this show for me.

Also loved Sookie reading a Charlaine Harris book while she waited for Eric to return home..... :shock:

Gotta assume it wasn't one of the series books...?

This season is very entertaining so far.

Yeah, when he's like, "sorry." LOL that was such a pure moment and made me laugh.

You know what creeped me out on the last episode? That chick raping the tied-up guy (Sookie's brother?) and the other chicks all licking their lips watching. Ewwww

Must have creeped me out even more. I was under the impression the ladies were waiting in line for their turn!

Also, VERY intrigued to see where the baby & doll storyline are going . . .

by **justcheckin** on Tue Jul 12, 2011 1:54 pm

Yes, finally to see where the baby doll thing is going. I think that is the last thing from last season that didn't come back up until just now.

by **Nice Marmot** on Tue Jul 12, 2011 2:27 pm

The doll got a clunky reintroduction. But it's here and ready to be creepy and mysterious from here on out . . .

by **justcheckin** on Tue Jul 12, 2011 9:52 pm

This is fairly entertaining...

OK, so I've watched this show from the start, and at times I've enjoyed it a great deal, but at this point I'm on the precipice, nearly ready to give up, cut my losses and move on. If it were the Pam and Lafayette show guest starring Eric, I might stay, but really, what's to keep a faithful viewer on track at this point? Baby Vamp Jessica's blog probably isn't going to cut it. It better make a change for the better, like, in the next couple of episodes, or I'm gone. There's not even much skin anymore...

by **Fievel** on Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:08 am

Other than the fact that absolutely nothing happened this past episode to advance the current stories, I'm liking this season a lot.
Shit... I didn't even know Katherine Helmond was still alive! HAHAHAHA... Bill pulled an Oldboy!! :lol:

So none of the male characters own underwear?

Going commando is in the undead/lycan handbook.

Did I mention Jessica is smoking hot? Good God, she's smoking hot.

I agree with you Tapes.

It's just all got a bit too silly. All these other interested turning up make this show just ludicrous. They've made stories idiotic and the character have just got too comical.

I swear Bills got more colour in his face now than he ever did. Eric is a shadow of his former self and the whole faerie thing just sucks.

I'm teetering on the edge too as to whether to throw myself into True Blood ignorance or pulling back just to see where it goes.

by **Nice Marmot** on Mon Jul 25, 2011 9:56 am

I've considered it a guilty pleasure from day one, so I'm not as critical. It's all been silly fun, in my book . . .

I don't watch this program but holy shit that Tera chick looks and sounds a lot like my fiancée.

Except she can pronounce her L's.

I just went on vacation to the beach so I decided to read these books just to see how close the stories are. Well, the show has a lot of characters that the books don't even have, however, there are some story line similarities. There are also some big differences that will make some of the later books' plots not possible. For instance having Bill as King changes probably two or three plots from the later books. Some of them have a lot of sex, some of them don't BUT!!! There is a great Sookie and Eric shower scene in book 4 during his memory loss so let's just hope that they keep that part in the show. :wink:

You're going out with one hot lady then. I salute you sir!

Well Sookie and Eric are definitely closer now.

Paquin's due for some disrobin' . . ..

Well, she's not T.V. pretty and she doesn't have the Angela Bassett arms, but she's pretty damn good if I say so myself.

by **justcheckin** on Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:53 pm

This episode was a little slow and the scene with Bill on the porch at the end was cheesy. I am disappointed.

by **Nice Marmot** on Wed Aug 10, 2011 12:54 pm

It's getting good.

Wouldn't silver jail cells alone (w/ silver floors and no glamorable guards) have sufficed?

So Jessica is tempted by Jason just because he's ripped and USED to be a high school football star? Team Hoyt must be fuming. Assuming there's a team Hoyt somewhere . . .

by **justcheckin** on Wed Aug 10, 2011 7:48 pm

lol Team Hoyt... not after hearing Ryan Kwanten talk in his regular voice.

by **judderman** on Sun Aug 14, 2011 2:48 pm

If Jessica dies, I will never watch another episode.

by **swoop91** on Mon Aug 15, 2011 7:32 am

This is ALF. Can't this fuckin' tara ever die?

AND SEX IN SNOW. WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?

by **theangiechrist** on Mon Aug 15, 2011 1:02 pm

the sappy lovy dovy dialogue between Sookie and Erik is making me puke.

by **John-Locke** on Mon Aug 15, 2011 8:52 pm

Sookie and Eric aside, I thought this episode was an extremely powerful return to form. This season I've constantly had the same words in my head that Pam said in the Cemetery

"THIS IS SO FUCKING LAME!"

:lol:

Sure a little more perseverance than previous seasons has been required but right now I like the look of where this could be heading.

by **tapehead** on Tue Aug 16, 2011 12:05 am

I agree - but it's taken half a season or more for some payoff on these lame story lines, It's only just now shaping up and getting interesting. I like a 'slow burner' as much as anyone but in the case of True Blood, some of the melodramatic pacing and glacier-like pace has been mucho mucho lamero... and yet I still watch it. I think I just don't like the way the show is written.

by **justcheckin** on Tue Aug 16, 2011 5:59 pm

Well, I can tell you guys that although the episodes don't follow the books exactly, each season has basically been similar to each book in the series. The pacing is somewhat the same. The first half of the book is storyline that builds, the second half has most of the action and conflict. Only difference is the book will not leave a cliffhanger, the season will.

by **Nice Marmot** on Mon Aug 22, 2011 10:29 am

Nice arm placement there, Jessica. Why bother . . . ?

by **theangiechrist** on Sun Aug 28, 2011 10:05 pm

I'm seeing a pattern; every other episode is good, the in-between ones are giant dick teases. I'm still stuck watching it though LOL

by **justcheckin** on Sun Aug 28, 2011 11:35 pm

My friend and I looked at each other tonight at the end and both blurted out... "The A-Team" hahahahaha

She is in an upcoming movie. I saw the preview today. Seven days in Utopia. Looks pretty good. And maybe she didn't want you to see em.

by **Nice Marmot** on Mon Aug 29, 2011 8:57 am

My wife and I were in stitches. What a cheesy ending!

by **justcheckin** on Mon Sep 05, 2011 4:37 pm

... last night was a fun episode!

I loved the part where Eric sucked blood out of the heart. SOOO CHEESY!

by **theangiechrist** on Sun Sep 11, 2011 10:09 pm

Oh, man.

I really liked Jesus, too.

Yeah. Serious bummer there.

- I didn't get the ending bit in the parking garage. Do we know who is in the ground there?
- Is Jason a werepanther now or not? If he is, the whole lack of him changing this season was weak.
- The wacky reverend is now a vampire. Great. Where's his wife?
- The almost anti-Authority revolution was over rather quickly!
