Book 4 was and still is my fav to date, so far HBO has messed around quite a bit with the book storylines… I really hope this one stays more true or I think I will stop watching the show 🙁

My”comment”…I’m a hard-core SCARSGARD fan. Alexander Scarsgard …is WHY I watch True Blood. I ‘caught the show by accident one summer night 3 seasons ago !! It was Alexander Scarsgard’s ‘entrance..in Fangtasia…That got ME “interested”. I went out aND BOUGHT Charlaine Harris novels…found out WHO…ERIC…and Sookie were…and all about their ‘story’ etc. Alexander Scarsgard …”Turned” me into a fan !! BUT I’m more a fan of ERIC as written by Harris….Alan Ball’s Eric was ‘cheated’…not given half the ‘character’ & background ‘color’ that Harris gave our ‘viking’.. ANYWAY………….I LOVE THE SHOW….!!! ( just have to read my books to get my ERIC ‘fix’ ) CAST of True Blood is FANTASTIC…. and Alan Ball is the Genius bringing us all this FUN in the summer nights !! ( He should ‘write himself a ‘part’….he’s ..’handsome man too). GOOD LUCK to ALL ..SUCCESS HBO . !!!.SEASON 4 !!! and MANY MORE !!!

I really think vin disel would be great as Quinn. Since they are doing the pit fighting, maybe they could do a small cameo for Vin Disel. He fits the description well and he has a great voice. However, he should be saved for season 5. Season 4 should be all about Soukie and Eric. And to answer the question, they have mixed books 3 and 4 for season 3, so I’m sure they’ll probably mix book 4 with future books. But we’ll see. Book 4 was good in and of itself.

Hi everyone, I have only recently rejoined the forum from England where we are just into Season 3.

I think the most important thing we keep forgetting is that All the events take place over months, so we have love, deceit, a fair amount of lying etc between them all, and that we are now approaching season 4, it just seems like years.

I am of course an Eric fan and make no aplogies for it and of course can see the supporters of Bill’s pont of view.

So it pains me to read negative comments still being posted.

I am all for fair and respectable comments, there is enough space for all…………..

jaxx February 7, 2011 at 7:20 pm

Melody, no one said Bill procured the Rattrays to beat up Sookie, the Rattrays went to beat up Sookie on their own b/c she saved Bill from being drained and cost them money. The point in dispute is that Bill watched the whole thing and did nothing about it until Sookie was near death.

mich February 7, 2011 at 6:35 pm

Elise. I just read all those posts and yours was the shortest and best written. Sookie DID beg and beg Eric to tell her what Bill was hiding, so he told her. simple as that. and Bill deserved it after trying to have Eric buried in cement, fight for your women like a man instead of having him buried, how bout just fight for her? tell her what you did and own up to it maybe? Eric wouldn’t have had to even tell sookie if he wouldv’e just told her himself right? really…. it’s not rocket science!

jaxx February 7, 2011 at 6:17 pm

Melody, I have to agree with Elise and Caitlin.

Bill was sent by the queen to procure Sookie. Bill wanted to secure Sookie’s trust. While I don’t think Bill set the Rattrays up to beat Sookie to near death, Bill stood by, watched and then intervened when Sookie was paralzyed and near death. He knew if he gave her his blood, she would heal and then trust him. That’s just despicable.

Eric is Sheriff of Area 5, so I guess he is Bill’s boss.

Eric did not lie when he told Sookie the truth about the Rattrays. We saw it in a flashback.

Sookie to Bill: “Oh my God, is it true?”
Bill of Sookie: “Yes” (with a very guilty nod of the head)

As far as your comment: “Does it really matter?” Yes, I think it does.

At this point, Eric had enough respect for Sookie to tell her the truth so she wouldn’t be made a fool of by Bill any longer. Eric told Bill “Why don’t you tell her the f’ckn truth?” and made other references to Bill telling Sookie the truth. Bill had numerous opportunities to come clean to Sookie, but chose not to. That’s not Eric’s fault. Bill tried to cement Eric to keep him quiet about it.

If I found out after falling in love with someone and sleeping with someone that they had been lying to me the whole time and nearly got me killed to win my trust and love, I would have done the same thing Sookie did. I would not have an ounce of respect for her myself if she didn’t throw them both out as she did.

In the beginning Sookie was only a “job” for Bill. But once he started developing feelings for her, he should have come clean about everything with her. He claims he was “protecting her”. Well, his “protection methods” leave a lot to be desired.

Whether he loves her or not, to me, is irrelevant considering their whole relationship was based on lies from the beginning. You just can’t say “Oh well, he loves me” and forget about it.

Did Eric want Sookie? Sure he did. Did he flirt with her? Absolutely. Did her test her and her love for Bill? No doubt. This happens in everyday life. When Sookie said no, Eric respected her for it. And, that kiss was a 2 way street. Sookie kissed him back proving she has repressed feelings for Eric.

IMO, Eric was saving Sookie’s honor by telling her the truth.

Sheila February 7, 2011 at 4:18 pm

Hey Antonio, just a thought about your speculation. Interesting to say the least except that swearing fealty and loyalty? That’s a Vamp thing, I don’t see that applying to Sookie, but more than that, Sookie already promised Eric she would help whenever he asked with her gifts so what would be the point of that? But as to a normal life, I have said it before, I think that Sookie has become an adreniline junkie, and is too involved in the rush of her new life now to be able to just walk away. But I do see the drama with Bill and QSA driving Sookie to Eric.

~ Caitlin February 7, 2011 at 2:41 pm

Hi everyone,

No suprise that I agree with you jaxx. Eric gave Bill an ample amount of time to tell Sookie the truth. Bill would not admit it. Sookie even asked Bill on several occasions what else he was keeping from her.

Antonio I think Eric was very close to telling Sookie about Bill when she came to Fangtasia but Pam interrupted them. Sookie did ask Eric to tell her the truth so he was answering a question asked of him. It would not have been wise of Eric to tell Sookie the truth at that time because she would have reacted badly ( and reasonably so). In part, Eric did want to stick it to Bil( again he was justified in doing so) but he really did think Sookie deserved to know the truth. After the attempted murder by Bill, Eric knew Bill would go to extremes to keep his secret. Honestly, I do not think Eric wanted to even be the one to tell Sookie the truth. That is why Eric tried to get Bill to do it. Eric had to have known he would recieve backlash for it. “Don’t kill the messenger”. Yes, Sookie basically told Eric where he could go… It was a lose lose situation for Eric. Eventually, the secret would have come out. If Sookie found out that Eric knew about it and did not tell her, she would have been even more enraged. Eric is not on Sookies list of favorite people at the moment.

I think AB mentioned that Gran would be coming back to the show in some form. As to when, I do not know. Probably, faeland.

Jaxx, I do not think Bill was in faeland. I think he was at the portal. He was in the cemetery. Remember, Sookie disappeared from the cemetery in the last episode. Bill was still in it.

You can never count out the under dog. Eric could go into a fight with Bill and be over confident so that could be a disadvantage for Eric. I still think he would beat Bill though becasue as Godric said Eric was one of the best warrior and he is 1,000 years old. You never know though, it only takes one loss of focus or distraction. I’m sure Eric will be on his guard around Bill know. There is the sayin “Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me”. Eric is even more ticked of now that he knows Bill sent a hit out on Pam too. Eric is all about loyalty.

Really good point about the sense of smell Elise. Even Bill could not deny that Sookie had feelings for Eric. I think Erics confidence will be shaken when it comes to Sookie. We all know he likes to be in control of things. He cannot control his feeling for Sookie.

Elise February 4, 2011 at 8:34 pm

Doesn’t Quinn come out in Book 5? Isn’t Book 4 about the relationship between Sookie and Eric and the witches and so Quinn can’t be in S4 because she is with Eric the whole time? Unless you think they’ll mix several books into one season. Do you think that’s a possibility?

Elise February 4, 2011 at 6:30 pm

I think he was feeling something for her before the kiss too, jaxx. 🙂

jaxx February 4, 2011 at 6:20 pm

Ohhh Elise, good observation about the smelling thing. I guess I never thought about that. Bill can feel Sookie too so she can’t hide her attraction to Eric from Bill, even if she thinks she hiding it from herself or him. LOL. And, yes, God did break the mold when he made Eric. LMAO. Only joking people!!! 😉

Elise February 4, 2011 at 6:02 pm

Isis, that story I was talking about before, “Late”, the fiction about Eric and Sookie, is un-be-li-ev-ab-le! I hate to blaspheme, but in its own way its actually better and more historically accurate then the Sookie Stackhouse books! I actually think that the “Late” writer is a better writer then Charliene Harris! In the beginning, it was a little awkward, and she got too descriptive, but the story is just so much cool, you can’t imagine. Apparently she intended for it to be kind of like a soap opera about Eric and Sookie, not a novel, so she makes chapter postings, and so far she uploaded 78 chapters.

I’m on the last chapter, and the story is so involved. There is magic, there are all these interesting rules and laws, and in the midst she talks about witches, but not as the original novels did, she doesn’t just brush over it, she explains things. When you read it, you can tell that she is probably a practicing Wicca person herself because she gives all this intricate information about the history of the world, how it was matriarchal in the beginning, but how christianity brought patriarchy into the world and killed all religions that worshipped women, and how it taught people to be ashamed of their bodies and of their desires, to blame women for fall from grace, to be afraid of sin, which is actually quiet true, although I’d probably would have referenced the Hebrew in lieu of Christian history, as it is also heavily patriarchal… There is an interesting plot were Eric had a connection with an ancient goddess Freya and a relationship with her, and how she reentered his life through Sookie, and it creates this incredible twist to both of them. I mean, this is not the kind of text where the writer would accidentally call Zeus a Roman God, like Mrs. Harris did.

This is if you don’t mind elements of S&M relationship with very intense conversations of choice and why people enjoy that type of this, which I don’t mind at all. Its kind of funny to see this story go EXACTLY where I would send it to if I wrote it. I’m serious, I am enjoying this story more then the books, which is pretty scary…

mich February 4, 2011 at 3:32 pm

Antonio, THE ROCK?? REALLY? HELLLLL YEAHHHHH !!!

Antonio February 4, 2011 at 2:44 pm

Regarding a Showdown between Bill and Eric? I suppose That is Inevitable at This point. I feel bad for Bill. Eric seems like the type who always lands on his feet! Were He to lose Sookie hed feel bad..somewhat but hed dismiss her as just another “foolish human”. Anyway,Hes got his Own issues to work out,Maybe Pam could help him with that? Bill,on the other hand,Was Really in Love with Sookie! Eric deliberately hurt Bill when he told Sookie the truth about Bill! Eric said he was “sorry for her pain,but he felt she HAD to know??”

IF he was SO Concerned about THIS matter,Why didnt he tell her earlier?? He Didnt tell her for Her..I believe he told her to attack back against Bill! This All reminds me of the actions of 2 grade school boys fighting on the playground! I keep hearing “HE Started It!” Oy! Eric..Bill Enough,ok??
I’ll go get a ruler..We’ll settle this!!
LMAO 🙂

Antonio February 4, 2011 at 2:22 pm

I dont know if this makes Any sense to you,But, I think it had to do with Bill ingesting SO Much of Sookie’s Fae blood. Claudine spoke of Bill stealing her “light” Maybe That was 1 of the ways? Could it be that Sookie’s blood could “cure” him of being a Vampire?? When Sookie received So Much of Bill’s blood the effect on her was being able to fight off Debbie and V fueled “grudge sex” with Bill! I hope That helps.

~ Caitlin February 4, 2011 at 2:16 pm

I think it starts June 12th not the 21st. At least that is what is said in an article on this site.

CH had Vin in mind when she created the character of Quinn. However, I don’t know if they would be able to get him for the show since he usually does films. You never know. Some people mentioned that guy who played Roses fiance in Titanic (Billie Zane). I think he would be a good pick.

Melody February 4, 2011 at 11:24 am

Fellow Fantasy Fangbangers! I am having withdrawal symptoms…..I swear. I can only read and reread and watch and rewatch seasons 1 and 2 for so long and HBO isn’t showing season 3 in our area any more.
What’s the date for season 4? Geez…..And I know I’m late on this one, but I think Vin Diesal is a great cast for Quinn. I LOVE him. That voice, that bod, yep, I could dig it.

jaxx February 3, 2011 at 9:51 pm

There will be a showdown between Eric and Bill no doubt. They each had wronged the other and they both want Sookie. That’s why the amnesia plotline will work this season. While I loved that Eric had amnesia in the books and DTTW was Eric’s and Sookie’s book, I think it would be more intersting in TB to have Sookie has amnesia. She will be on equal footing with everyone until she remembers again. JIMO, I think Sookie will come back from faeland with her memories wiped clean because she is so distraught and heartbroken. She said she was so hurt and lost and I think Claudine may help her forget for a while.

Wouldn’t it be wild if Gran was there or she would be able to see Gran again in faeland???

One question that just keeps bugging me, how and why was Bill able to go to faeland??? He’s a vamp and should not have been allowed there?? He was dressed in “Godric” white too?? What is the connection?? Is Bill some type of vamp/fae mixture himself??

Antonio February 3, 2011 at 9:00 pm

I was just speculating is all. IF sookie were to have a “normal” life …ie Husband,Children,In-Laws. She would Have to Leave not Only LA but the Continent,I think. According to the so-called Great Revelation, Vampires are free to live and congregate Anywhere in the world? I mentioned China because Sookie would be Away from QSA. Away from her selfishness and her desire to utilize her for her abilities. Sookie went to Dallas in Season 2 Godric was the Sheriff,There. I wonder if Sookie promised fealty or Loyalty to Godric and the Dallas contingent,Then QSA would No longer have an active hold over her.

For example, As of Last season Eric despises QSA..Cant blame him!
If she were to align herself with Eric Then Sophie Ann would have to back off! She could always say “I Belong to Eric Northman!” I doubt that QSA could force Eric to turn her over to her given that Eric Cant stand her!
I just thought of something…IF Sookie became the property of Eric,Then Bill wouldnt be able to use her or date her Anymore!
“Back Off,Compton! Shes Mine!” Wow! Think of That!
Then she could have BOTH QSA AND Bill Compton OUT of Her Life!
However, We she to give herself to Eric..Just to spite Bill, She would become Eric’s personal property…His Slave. He could Use her “gifts” Anytime he wanted,and She would have to Give Him Anything he wanted ..even sex or blood! So That wouldnt be in her best interest either!
I think that Both The Queen and Eric would utilize Sookie for her “abilities” and want to aquire her!
Bill,on the Other hand would Not use Sookie for his own political gain.

I suppose,at This point,It would be very difficult for Sookie to have a “normal” life. She is part Supe herself now and many other supes are aware of this.

jaxx February 3, 2011 at 6:13 pm

Lizzie, with at least 3 books to go, I’m guessing CH will break up Eric and Sookie before this series is over. That’s why I’m not counting my chickens before they hatch. Sookie could end up with anyone or be alone. Only CH knows the ending to this series.

mich February 3, 2011 at 4:53 pm

OMG DONT BUY A HOODIE>> go to ebay and type in true blood transfers and true blood stickers, i have a seller on there that sells iron on’s for like $3 !!!!! buy a $7 hoodie and do it your self! i have em on my jeans and sweat pants too!! and even my purse

mich February 3, 2011 at 1:40 pm

Hey Sheila, Yeah I know Erics not going anywhere, i was just commenting on the other post about him being staked. Like Caitlin said, Eric IS true blood in a sense and the fan base would drop so i’m not worried about it at all. Remember, i work nights w no sleep all week and no coffee with my first post so it tends to be a little over dramatic lol. If Eric DOES become king, i dont know if that’d be good or bad (IMO) considering he’s love of power. I need to start reading more in between school work so i can catch up w all you guys are talking about i’d have a better understanding of why some say and comment on what they do… i’m such an outsider here not knowing as much as everyone else. although i DO NOT own a piece of clothing without the true blood logo on it, including my scarf and a pair of undies and my whole back window of my minivan is covered in True Blood stickers and decals lol.

~ Caitlin February 3, 2011 at 12:10 pm

Hi Mich,

Eric is such a big part of the story that he will not be going anywhere any time soon. Plus there would be a lot of backlash from fans if Eric were to get killed of soon in the TV series. As far as the end of the TV series goes who knows what will happen. In the end, none of the characters are safe. It is possible that Eric could die. I think he might become king by the end of the show. Right now, I do not think Eric really desire that title.

As far as the books go, I remember reading something where CH said that Eric and Sookie will not die at the end of the series. That is reasuring if anything I think Eric could become king.

mich February 3, 2011 at 7:45 am

First of all, if eric get’s staked, i’m gone lol, second bill would def. be put to death, thirdly, Eric IS true blood at this boint and at most points in the books..(as far as i’ve read anyways) without eric, i hate to say it, i’m no sure i’d stick around. as far as Sookie being ALONE?? YEAH RIGHT!!! she needs all the man and drama she can find, she CANT be alone, as independant as she SEEMS to be, she NEEDS to be needed or she feels like nothing but a freak. She’s a spoiled brat that gets everyone she wants and yes, i’m stomping my foot like a 3 yr old turning green all over!!! SOOOO mad that she has all these amazing men grabbing at her ankles, and she just kicks em away till she needs em again. Sam is too “normal” and drama free for sookie… they’ll be friends forever. he’s awsome but too good boy for her. Bill already bores her, more like a dad then a lover, and ERIC??? well hmmmmm, the visual i get after book 4 yum yum. anyhoo sorry, as for quinn and all the others you guys are talking about (And thankks soooo much for givn me a heads up with the spoilers, i seem to be the only one that hasn’t gotten thru them all, you guys rock) I dont know, all i know is what i feel, see, and no in my heart and that is sookie with Eric, although i’d fight her for him lol. get my ass kicked, but i’d try like hell. Did i mention yummmmmm??? sorry about the spelling, gotta get me coffee and i’ll be back and more apt to use SCheck. high five Elise for that post lol…. and invisioning sook not ending up with a vamp? after having V, that will never happen, she will be with a Vamp in the end, willing to put money on it, ok, not money but a milky way or something.

Antonio February 3, 2011 at 1:57 am

What if Bill staked Eric, Helped to Fake Sookie’s “death” and then send her off to China Or Pakistan? She would be out of QSA’s Jurisdiction and Ultimately out of her reach! If her death were “faked” then QSA would Never know!
Isis Maybe right though, There may very well be a Vampire hierarchy even in China! She would be away from QSA But Im sure that a Chinese Vampire(s) would seek to aquire her!

Elise February 3, 2011 at 12:13 am

She may laugh in the end of book 3, but in the beginning of book 4 she doesn’t want to have anything to do with either of them, not until Eric stumbles in front of her naked in the dark. I realize its different, but it will still allow him to continue with the basic plot of book 4, so we end up full circle back in the books.

jaxx February 2, 2011 at 11:10 pm

Hi Lizzie, then this year should be really interesting. 4 men vying for her attention at once. What a year this will be. LOL.

lizzie1701 February 2, 2011 at 10:54 pm

Yes, Caitlin, CH has vested a lot into the Sookie/Eric relationship, but she also did that to Bill and Sookie’s relationship, and look what happened there! Just saying, you never, never know what the writer will do.

~ Caitlin February 2, 2011 at 10:40 pm

Hi Isis,

I was a fan of Lost and I think the guy who has been cast as Claude did a good job. He was only in a few scenes though. I do not know how he will do as Claude but I am optimistic. I guess we will have to wait and see. I’m excited about Fiona Shaw playing Marnie. They do a wonderful job with casting on this show.

~ Caitlin February 2, 2011 at 10:24 pm

Hi jaxx and Elise,

*****SPOILER*******

Jaxx you made a really good point now I’m doubting everything again. Yes, it is possible the queen will want to marry Eric. I hope that does not happen I would hate that so much. Elise you made a good point about the vamp marrige. I really do not remember what the guideline are for one. Also, how does a vamp/human marriage work. The ceremony used was one for vampires. Would their marriage even be legal in the vampire world? The marriage is beneficial and detrimental to Sookie and Eric. Jaxx I do remember reading that Sookies abilities will not matter to the new queen. I wonder why? I still choose to hold out hope for those two. Elise, I do not want Eric to die though if Sookie leaves him. Maybe he will leave her. He still has Pam to think about.

I also thought that Sookie would help raise Hunter and in the back of my mind I wondered if her and Remy would end up together. Remy was a little creep out by her though. That is still a possibility. I like Remy but I do not want Sookie and him together. That scenerio would be kind of the white picket fence. I go back and forth on the issue. Sometimes I do think she will and up with Eric. Maybe that is just wishful thinking. CH has invested so much time in building their relationship though. I do not believe Sookie will just stop loving him just like that. Jaxx we both agreed before that they will break up even if only for a little while. I will not be surprised. Maybe CH will put some more of the chapter up online.

This is random but I wonder if they will have minisodes for this season of TB like they did last year?

Elise February 2, 2011 at 9:00 pm

I agree with Isis and Jaxx. If Bill helps her outright without managing the situation from a political point, he will get himself killed for disobeying the queen, and Sookie will still be found anyway. Both Eric and Bill drank from her, they could be persuaded, perhaps through torture, to located her through the blood. She could negotiate with QSA herself. I think there is a danger in appearing weak to QSA, she may be able to speak to her and negotiate lucrative terms that will also grant her some sort of protection, but in the end, she will lose. Its not as if QSA is this cheerful happy polite lady, she is a vampire queen which means she is very dangerous, ruthless, and inhuman. I gather fielty is big with vampires, and eventually QSA will want that from Sookie. But short-term, she will probably do best by negotiating terms with the most powerful party.

~ Caitlin February 2, 2011 at 8:11 pm

Hi everyone,

******Spoilers*****

Jaxx I agree with you about Alcide and Sookie being “ships passing in the night”. They did have potential but it never seemed to work out for them. Yes, they could have been good together. We both agree and had this convo before about Alcide in Dead in the Family. I do hope they reedem him though.

Honestly, I think that ship has sailed with Quinn. Elise is right Quinn was the rebound guy. Although, Sookie was fond of Quinn she never loved him. Yes, I do agree again Elise that Sookie was making some excuses when she broke up with Quinn. I think the real reason was because she was still hooked on Eric. I was never a big Quinn fan. He was a nice guy and I felt bad for him but he was not right for Sookie. She could never come first with him. She was harsh to him though. The situation was not his fault. His mother and sister are crazy. Sookie had enough stress of her own to deal with. I think there are more cons than pros to being with Quinn. His mother is a loose cannon. After all he is indebted to the vampires so that does not exactly help Sookies cause. He would not be able to protect her. Sookie even admitted that Quinn was a mistake.

It is possible she could end up with Sam. I have mentioned before that I think that would be too predictable though. I see them as more of friends. I think Sam deserves better than to be treated as what 5th best in Sookies line of suitors.

One of the reasons I really like Trey was because he was not interested in Sookie.

Elise, I still think it is possible that Sookie could end up with Eric. The books series only takes place over a two year time span at most. She could end up with him at the end. They will not be together forever but they could be together for a while. She does love Eric. Even when the bond is broken I think she will still love him. The bonds not all that bad. It has had some benefits. They cannot really lie to each other because they can sense it through the bond. Who knows maybe she could live a little longer with the fae blood.

CH mentioned that Sookie will not have some fairy tale ending with the white picket fence. Even if she does not end up with a vamp she is still a telepath and immersed in the supe world. Most likely, she will always be in some danger. I really do not see her having children. She can hardly get through a day or week without getting fatally wounded. She almost needs a vamp around to give her blood to save her life. Even if Eric and Sookie end up together it will not be some fairy tale life. I think it would be interesting if they did stay together. I am pretty sure CH mentioned that Sookie and Eric will not die by the end of the series so that is a plus.

Maybe it would be better if they break up sooner than later because it will only get more difficult.

*******SPOILER FROM BOOK Mich I do not want to spoiler something from one of the later books************

Remember they are married (even if Sookie does not aknowledge it) so it is not as easy as just breaking up and calling it quits. It seemed relatively simple to get into the marriage. I do not know the logistics of vampire marriges. I am pretty sure that it will not be as simple to get out of a vampire marriage. I could be wrong tough. As far as a vamp/human marriage who knows? Sookie is really close to Pam too.

Who knows maybe Sookie will end up with Bill at the end of the books, I doubt it but you never know? I do think that Bill has reemdemd himself as far as the books go. That does not mean I want them to be together because I like Eric.

P.S. Sorry to talk about the books I know we are not supposed to but sometimes it seeps into the discussions.

jaxx February 2, 2011 at 6:52 pm

Antonio, I don’t think Sookie can ever just go back. She is a supe hybrid herself now. She will have to figure out how to “fit in” so to speak with the rest of the supes and what part she will play in the supe world. She is in it now for the long haul. And, yes, it will be interesting to see how AB plays out S4. It should be Eric/Sookie/Alcide in the triangle this season. I guess we will have to wait and see if AB has Eric or Sookie with amnesia. Should be Eric but he likes to fool us. I liked the witch war myself. AB has a lot to cover this year.

Antonio February 2, 2011 at 6:09 pm

AB and the writers have refered to S4 as season of the witch.
No Doubt,Season 4 will be interesting and exciting to watch.
However, In book 4, The witches were,at best, A subplot. Eric figured in mostly. He had amnesia,was cutoff from his buissness and the “life” he thought he knew,his involvement and steamy relationship with Sookie.Not to mention Her growing attraction for Alcide. Their was a witch war and it will be interesting to see just how AB will write this out. There was So much going on in book 4! I hope we do not get another Season 2 thing…Where too much of the story was written for Maryann and Not enough written for Godric,Sookie and her growing attraction for Eric
Nor for Bill and Sookie either…or Lorena.
Season Should be Season of Eric + Sookie OR Alcide + Sookie!
These were More prominent storylines in the book!
I look forward to see what will happen in S4.
1 other thing, Claudine,Claude and the Fae are different in the book then in the show,too!

jaxx February 2, 2011 at 4:27 pm

mich, I think you misunderstood what I said. Some of the fans want Vin Diesel, that doesn’t mean TB will actually get Vin Diesel to play Quinn. I imagine he’d want too much $$. They’ll probably cast a lesser known actor, but you never know.

mich February 2, 2011 at 3:17 pm

So i was REALLY right???? It’s gonna be vin diesel? OMG talk about head exploding?!!! I dont know if i’d WANT to be sookie with her choices… Bill, Eric, Quinn, Alcide, Sam, omg, i cant stand it!! I cant believe i even stumbled on Vin diesel, what are the chances? Good idea to google the name lol….. Once my husband finds out, it’s hard enough for him to deal with my obsession w Eric, wait till hears this!! Let’s hope it holds true

Sheila February 2, 2011 at 2:17 pm

Vin Diesel? True Blood? How could this possibly get any hotter of a show? OMG, if that were to really happen, That would be awesome. I am not sure what is hotter on that man, the voice or the bod. Thank Goodness, my honey knows without a doubt I love him.

mich February 2, 2011 at 2:03 pm

Jaxx.. I kid you not!! i googled “Quinn from true blood” and go see what comes up. they show the charector to play quinn and it’s vin diesel lol…. i am almost 40 and do remember mr clean, i wish i didnt lol. wierd that vin showed up. tell me what you think

jaxx February 2, 2011 at 1:28 pm

Elise, I agree. Quinn is a really nice guy who fell for Sookie hook, line and sinker. He, unfortunately, was a rebound guy. You hit the nail on the head. He had family issues and Sookie HAS to be the center of attention and she wasn’t about to share Quinn with anyone, not even family. He was sweet to her and good for her and nearly got killed for her (who hasn’t), but she treated him unfairly and badly b/c she was pinning for the kinder, gentler, loving “amnesia Eric”. Even when Quinn reappeared several books later, Sookie treated him badly. While he’s not my favorite, I did have a pain of sympathy for him and his situation. I think he is scheduled to reappear in either DR or one of the next books before the series ends.

jaxx February 2, 2011 at 1:21 pm

LOL, mich, no, I’m sorry, I meant for you to goggle “Mr. Clean”. He is a character on a cleaning products bottle. The cartoon image reminds me of what I picture Quinn to look like. Quinn is described as a tall, built, handsome, bald young guy with violet eyes. For some reason, Mr. Clean’s image popped in my head. I’m a little older than you so you might not remember the TV ads. Some have suggested Vin Diesel to play Quinn’s character in TB. That’s probably why he came up when you goggled Quinn. Quinn is his last name. If I remember correctly, his first name is John. Try “Mr. Clean” and let me know what you think.

Sheila February 2, 2011 at 11:32 am

Hello my fellow Trubie’s it is way too early in the morning, and I should have coffee hooked up to an I.V. drip, but here goes. Although I like Sam, he truly is a sweet guy, I don’t see it. The Eric and Bill plan would be a problem because they would always try to best each other and always and forever leave the potential that they want her for the wrong reasons. In the back of her mind, that would always be a thought. However, I don’t think age would really be an issue because her Fae blood keeps her young longer I believe. But unless Alcide steps up his A game, Quinn may be the man of the hour, we all know the show doesn’t follow the books, she would still have her adreniline fix a guy she can hang around in the daylight with, have some sort of a normal family life if you can call it that, and they would love her for her, not her blood. All things important to her. We will see what AB has in mind. Either way, it’s all good. I have said it before, I will say it again. May the best Supe win. Whomever that shall be, Eric, Bill, Alcide, Quinn, Sam, ?????Or who knows yet.

jaxx February 2, 2011 at 11:20 am

It will be sad when Jessica and Hoyt break up. In the books, Hoyt ends up with Holly, but I don’t see that happening here since Holly is about twice his age now. AB must have something else in store for Hoyt, unless Jessica turns Hoyt.

To me, S1 followed book 1 almost verbatim. S2 followed the core story but very much deviated from LDID. Too much Maryanne, but we’ve covered that already. S3 did a good job of following Club Dead and did end basically the same way, Sookie rescinding both vamp’s invitations. So, I’m guessing S4 will for the most part follow DTTW, although who has amnesia has been a hot topic of discussion. Some think Sookie, some think Eric. Eric is the one in DTTW. Either way, I think it will be interesting. I think Sookie having amnesia would have more of an impact on the storyline since she is involved with every character in TB but Eric’s story would be a good one to explore too and we would get to know Eric in a different way. It depends on how AB interprets DTTW. IDK, it will be interesting to see how this season plays out.

jaxx February 2, 2011 at 10:57 am

Loleaf, you know, I was so upset with what happened to Claudine at the time. Then I started to think about it too and I believe you may be right. We haven’t touched on angels yet and Claudine was striving to be an angel. What better way to achieve that then protect Sookie the way she did (I don’t want to spoil for others who haven’t read). Plus, she may have an “added helper” with her this time.

Quinn does love her and would do anything for her, he just wasn’t my cup of tea.

Wow, 5 males vying for her affection. I guess it pays to be fae. LOL.

Elise, I totally agree. I want Sookie and Eric to end up together, that is my pick, but I still think it will be Sam. Just seems that’s where CH is going with this, BUT…I’ve been fooled before and AB likes to put twists on everything.

Eric turning human….possibly. Maybe Niall or the fae or a witches spell could turn Eric human for Sookie, interesting theory. Yeah, I don’t think Sookie with a fairy would work. After I read the whole “skin paper” thing, it gave me the creeps. LOL.

Elise February 2, 2011 at 10:04 am

I so hope you are right, but I just don’t see him changing the ending from the writer’s intent. She could raise hell over that, and the argument could be that it kills the intent of the story itself. I notice that he may have changed many plot points, and even introduced new story lines, but the main course that the main characters themselves are following is still the same. In the end of S3, just like in the end of book 3, Bill and Sookie break up, she throws BOTH of them out. Maybe pressure from the fans will make him change it? Then again, she broke up with Bill and so many fans loved him. You know, it could be Hoyt. He is a very nice guy and I read that Jessica and Hoyt will break up in the next season, which is actually pretty sad because they were so sweet together. I loved how he followed her to Texas in S2.

mich February 2, 2011 at 9:43 am

Hi Loleaf, This isn’t going with the books… although sometimes, and some scenes I WISH, we cant go by that at all!! AB will not follow the book so know one will no we can only assume

mich February 2, 2011 at 9:17 am

Hey Jaxx. i agree wayyy tooo early for this but hey, i live tb so here it goes, she has to try and read his thought tho too (sam) being a sup. I dont know who quinn is i haven’t gotten that far but i’m curious he’s brought up so much so back to the books. id he sup? as in shifter or what? whats he loook like? i need a mental view. I still think she will end up with eric. i feel it in my bones (as well as other places lol) sorry, totally inappropriate lolol. The wait is killing me, i cant wait to start the discussions with each episode!! I’m starting to dream of things,,,, not that i’m somplaining, but ultimatley lol, guess who eric ends up with lol. enough of this, i need my coffee to spell and sound rational. mornin to all

jaxx February 2, 2011 at 8:45 am

Hi Antonio and Sheila 🙂 While I am all about Eric, I, too, just can’t see Sookie ending up wither Eric or Bill at the very end unless she is turned. That topic is also going to come up in the next book as well. There is only so long she can be with a vamp without being turned. While I like Alcide and he is very prominent even in the last book too, they are like ships passing in the night. They have a mutual attraction for each other but something always gets in their way (in the books). Book Alcide also turns into what he feared the most. I didn’t like Alcide very much in the last book. Who knows what will happen on TB with Alcide and Sookie though and if AB goes that route, I will be happy to see where their relationship goes, if Debbie doesn’t interfere. I’m not a big Quinn fan, but he does love her and has enough love for both of them, but Sookie treats him very badly, so I just don’t see that one happening unless something changes. Sam just seems like the logical end result. He was there for her before any vamp showed up and loved her for her without ever knowing about the “fae” thing and knew about his telepathy and accepted her and loved her for it. Only drawback is she can read his thoughts and she has to go to extreme lengths to block Sam out, which is exhausting to her. I think she is attracted to theh vamps for that exact reason. She can relax her guard. It will be interesting to see what does happen in the end, both books and TV series. My bet is Sam, but you just never know. 🙂

Antonio February 2, 2011 at 3:00 am

By The Way, It would be Really Cool if we could see Alcide Shift into his Wolf form This year! Alcide was written as more of a Rogue wolf or Renegade. He was the “good’ wolf in the pack of so-called “bad” ones. Cooter’s pack was bad..Alcide wanted Nothing to do with them. Hopefully,in S4,We will get to see him with his “good” pack? We will learn More about him,also. In the books,Alcide was also troubled about What he was.
Weres and Vamps Hate each other! It would be Quite Interesting to see Alcide Face-Off against Bill OR Eric!

Question? Cooter and His wolves were high on V! They were pumped up on it! Yet,Bill managed to pick them off like Nothing?
In Many stories,Werewolves are As strong Sometimes Even Stronger than Vampires…ie Van Helsing,Underworld!
It just Doesnt make sense to me!!
How is it that Bill is strong enough to take out a pack of weres like a hyena on a wildebeast??
Weres,too are quite strong! It would have been interesting to see Cooter beat the snot out of Bill for a bit and then have Bill come back at him! Funny, How V-Fueled Weres come to Sookies home and yet ONLY Russell is a threat to Bill and Jessica?
Why were Coot and his pack made to look so weak??
Shouldnt the V have made them Stronger??

By the way, Why didnt Jessica seem to care that Bill took her human life and her family? Simply Put Bill is Not Evil …Lorena IS…THAT is WHY Bill hated her!

Antonio February 2, 2011 at 2:41 am

Sam always had her back…Was Always loyal,friendly,kind,reliable,smart and trustworthy.Everyone should have a friend like him! Sam cares for her and would do anything to help her,protect her and make her happy! In the books,Sam was more concerned about her welfare then in the show.
Watching Sookie “break-up” with Bill was difficult(I suspected it Would be). Honestly, I think Sookie should give it a rest with the Vamps for a while! Alcide? Well,There is potential there,too with him. There are ONLY 2 guys that are Not drawn to her..either for her sweet Fae blood Or her Abilities as a Telepath…and they are Sam and Quinn!
Both Bill AND Eric are Vampires..No Way around That fact!
They Both have used her,Bill for her blood and Eric for her abilities! Alcide,Although a nice,solid,Hard-Working guy, Has Quite a Temper! He can be a Hothead! And Man,Can he hold a grudge!
I think I would be glad for Sooks If she Chose Sam or Even Quinn!
Think about it! Sam loves her for HER! Quinn Loves Her for HER!

mich January 31, 2011 at 3:32 pm

god Melody!!! thanks for the foreplay!!!

Elise January 31, 2011 at 1:48 pm

OMG, if she ends up with Sam I’m seriously thinking of boycotting the show… LOL. After all of this?! It just kind of sounds like what Harris is trying to say, which I’m trying to ignore because I can’t stand it… Lol.

Elise January 31, 2011 at 1:38 pm

Oh, gosh, Melody, I hope you are wrong! I hope I haven’t compared myself to Sookie (because I am almost a complete opposite of her!) but I do believe that any creature, whatever species, will act in its own self-interest. At its basic level, every creature cherishes its existence. I understand that I’m searching for behavioral explanations here and I am only human, but isn’t that the basic scientific method? After all, human beings have studied other species in similar fashion. I may not know exactly what goes through their heads, but I can find a pattern to their decision making by observing their behavior. I suppose its not in the vampire’s self-interest to care about human beings. I imagine its pretty difficult to invest in a creature so fragile with such short life span, who is also a food source. I don’t think the quality of telling people whatever she feels like saying is a quality restricted to supernatural beings however – humans are guilty of that too. Yes, there is a line between strength and stupidity, but due to her age and inexperience in life and relationships, she may become more speculative in her responses. At least, she has in the books. Again, while she does have supernatural blood, that is also a quality that often appears in all of us. I am only saying that her behavior to me seems very human, despite her lineage.

As to Eric, I don’t think we know him at all, vampire or not. I’m only making guesses as to who he is based on his very contradictory actions (even Sookie admits that he has behaved both atrociously and repentantly and she is herself confused). I can only infer that as he was taking revenge for the deaths of his human Viking family, revenge that he swore to prior to being turned, that honor, valor, and loyalty were upheld by that society. They were according to historical accounts. Perhaps those are the qualities he carried with him into his next un-life? Perhaps its his attempt to hold on to his humanity? Just making intelligent (I hope) guesses.

Again, I can only assume, that, based on both Viking and early Southern US history, Eric is more likely to treat her as an equal because the Viking women had more rights in society at the time then women did in the south in 1900’s. We see evidence of this in how each man speaks to her, but perhaps there other things at play here we don’t know about. Perhaps its just a mask, and both have no feelings whatsoever? As you said, we just don’t know. However, we can look at the pattern of behavior and see a correlation.

I admit, I may compare Bill to a conglomerate of multitude of men in the world, who have been flawed but who loved. God, I am sick of them… I could publish 10 volumes of apologies from men, and so can every one of my girlfriends, but we all have learned that everyone has a pattern of behavior, and this rarely changes. Maybe its different for vampires? Maybe he will never keep anything from her again? Maybe he will change the person he has been for the past 170 years because of her? I don’t think its likely, but I am not an optimist and I don’t know about vampire nature. In this case, I am basing my judgement on personal experience. However, vampire or not, the alternative doesn’t seem likely to me, as behavior almost never changes, in any species. Maybe she will chose to accept his inadequacies? That I can’t answer.

Maybe Bill’s hatred of Lorena and Pam’s love for Eric shows that again, vampires are not bound by a compulsory behavior but have some choice in their attachment to their maker ? (which is not what happens in the novels) Could it be proof of normalcy, not something extraordinary? Or perhaps a testament to who Godrick, Eric, and Lorena are as people and vampires? However, I don’t think that having shreds of humanity is solely Bill’s privilege. I think that Eric’s quest for revenge is a part of his human nature as a Viking, and I think the way he is falling apart through season 3 shows that as well.

Elise January 31, 2011 at 11:02 am

Mich, lol, I thought I was replying to you! You write very well, please don’t be self-conscious. You know, I tend to over-think and intellectualize things, but, honestly, I love what you just wrote and I completely agree with you! Lorena should have never turned Bill, she’s created a self-hating vampire, and Sookie and Eric are just more suited for each other. As I’m sure you can see from my posts, I prefer Eric for probably the same reason he is suited for Sookie. I understand there are lots of sweet and kind women who need a Bill in their lives, but I can’t be with men like that. This object has been set in motion by a powerful force, and will not stop until acted upon by an equal or greater force, you know? 🙂

Also, I don’t think that Sookie was attracted to Bill because he was her opposite, I thought she was attracted to him because he was the only one who gave her silence in her head? As opposed to constant chatter of thoughts?

Eric is just soooo smug. It makes me want to teach him a lesson. But I think Sookie is already doing that. 🙂 The most frustrating part of this entire story is that it seems inevitable that she will end up with Sam, which is so depressing. I suppose, to each his own.

mich January 31, 2011 at 10:02 am

Hey Antionio, You brought tears to my eyes reminding me of those parts of the series, when they were in the back of the van and bill almost drank her to death, I never held that against Bill tho, it’s IS in his nature and he could not help himself, Bill or Eric, either of them would of done that in the situation they were in. And him at her bedside in the hospital I was on the edge of my seat rocking and crying w my hand over my mouth , my heart truly ached for him, i love bill, i do, I do not chastise him for any of his actions, that would be hypocritical of me loving eric considering his…. short comings lol. I am a die hard Eric fan, which makes me a hypocrite i guess sticking up for bill and that is probably why noone ever replies to my posts. I can not , in good faith, take to one or the other. in real life, put me in a room with bill or Eric, and i’m all over eric, however bill has had it soooo damn hard how anyone can not feel SOMETHING for him….. yeah he f’d up a couple times, we all do, he’s more then tried to redeem himself, i just dont think him and sook are good together with the thought of sookie being so stubborn and hard headed, bill is just not tough enough for her, she needs someone that will stand up to her, she needs eric to complete her, Bill is too “good”, or as good as a vamp can be, for her. Most girls always go for the bad boys, the good guys always finish last…. anyways thanks for the reminders i think i will start watching again, it’s hard because i get so emotional.

jaxx January 30, 2011 at 5:00 pm

Elise, you are a breath of fresh air. I like your analysis and it really does make sense. I agree, Bill and Sookie, while falling in love, are mismatched. Some couples, while falling in love, just don’t have the same outlook, goals, values. Bill needs to take care of Sookie, Sookie is independent and doesn’t always want to be taken care of. Sookie is more like Eric. I agree with the whole standing behind as opposed to standing next to and I have said before again and again, that the difference here is that Eric respects Sookie, for her bravery, honestly, integrity, etc. Eric looks at her with more equality than any other “human” and there lies the basis of the attraction to her. You need to be friends first and that’s what Eric and Sookie are becoming slowly, friends. And one basis for friendship is respect. The love part comes later. Bill and Sookie never really got to know each other as friends first. There was an instant physical lust and attraction but not a real friendship in the beginning based honesty and trust, imo. Well said and great analysis. 🙂

mich January 30, 2011 at 11:07 am

Elise.. I agree with you whole heartedly in every aspect … i still think that Bill is getting way over scrutinized for his actions. I dont think they belong together tho, you made a VERY good point about their personalities (sook and eric) and i also like the point you made about “having a woman stand behind him instead of with him”. You always have amazing posts, you and melody always keep me on my toes because your on opposite sides of the TB fence but both have valid points and i love it. I am no longer AGAINST Bill per-say, but as for sook and Bill, no match, eric or alcide i feel are more her….”speed”. Excellent post Elise. made analogies i can definatley relate to

jaxx January 30, 2011 at 10:47 am

Well hello Nia. I thought we lost you forever girl. Hope all is well with you and your family. I bought a new Kuerig coffee maker and it’s ready to go. I can get coffee now if less than one minute, and, I’ll be sure to stock up on snacks in preparation for S4. LOL.

With ALL the events of S3, I’m really looking forward to S4. Can’t wait to see what happens to both Bill and Eric, especially with Sookie going to faeland. I think she’ll be a changed Sookie when she comes back and I’m really warming up to the idea of HER having amnesia this season. I think it would put a different twist on things in how she relates to Bill, Eric, Sam, Alcide, Pam, Jason, etc.

Glad to see you back. 🙂

mich January 30, 2011 at 8:49 am

Antionio, (everybody get ready)

That is ONE thing Bill always made sookie feel, and that was safe and very loved. He is one of the most passionate men/vamps i have ever “met”. I love eric, trust me, but that is the ONE thing he lacks, and that’s TRUE passion and emotion at 100%. Noone can make a love scene sexier then Bill. There’s never anything “dirty” about making love to Bill. And In reality (now everyone hold on to there seats) if i had to choose a lifetime partner, it would be BILL… Eric is sexy and that’s that. Bill is someone i would never question his intentions or loyalty ONCE he loves me. Today I am taking a walk on the other side with Lizzy and Melody folks. I have been re watching TB bits and pieces, and in THIS world, without all the drama and BAD BOY lust I have for Eric, I have to swallow my pride and agree with the other side, Bill f’d up, big deal, we all do it, and let’s keep in mind, he IS a vampire TRYING to be human, if that’s not hard enough, let’s remember that HUMANS make the most mistakes and we live by them. So bill make 2 mistakes… His original and not telling her about it, so what. how many mistakes has eric made? wait, they Weren’t mistakes, they were intention and premeditated. So bill, here i am, go get her!! Eric, your hot, but I am in agreeance (however it’s spelled) that Bill made a mistake and let’s lay off him guys, he’s more then suffered for them and deserves a second chance. 2 mistakes that were intentional, the rest he’s MORE then tried to prevent or sacrificed his own life to intervene. I’m done with sticking up for Eric, I now understand why you few Bill people are so frustrated!! Sorry Eric-tiers, I gotta defend Bill for a while. Just take a few min’s and look at it from a human prospective, as well as a vampire’s. They ARE NOT HUMAN trying to BE human. He made a couple mistakes which Eric’s more then trumped in the end! Just because i like the bad boy in Eric, i’m taking off the blinders now, and Bill is NOT the bad one here and if anyone cant take 5 min’s to really, THINK about it logically, you’ll see that scrutinizing Bill for his couple downfalls is ridiculous!! He’s an amazing loving LOYAL man that MADE an oops. I know everyone is gonna say… “he watched her get beat, he made her drink from his blood, blah blah bal” not much of a list. now list what erics done…. not enough time or space. then you’ll say ” he owed sookie and bill nothing”, ok well then stop saying “but eric loves sookie” cant go both ways, and with bill is only ONE way!! he loves her and has and will spend the rest of eternity trying to make up for it. I hope i’m welcome in Bill land cause i’m ready for what’s a head of me being here. BIll is not the bad guy here… keep ONE thing in mind that everyone keeps saying,,, (now follow me) “eric owes bill and sookie nothing so that’s why he’s let off the hook” now remember, when bill did what he did he also owed sookie NOTHING at the time!! so what he didnt tell her, he was trying not to cause her any pain, and what was done was done, he couldn’t go back and fix it, he now loves her, Do you REALLY think bill would let ANY of that happen now that he loves her? NOOOOOOO so lay off bill he’s done NOTHING wrong being that we give passes as long as “they owe someone nothing ” lol. so here’s you pass bill, I have opened my eyes, and i am in Bill land from now on and i’ll debate this till the cows, or vampires, come home!! Hi, my names Michelle, and i’m a Bill lover…. 1st step is addmitting when your wrong, and i was. second step is acceptance :0)?

mich January 29, 2011 at 11:29 am

MELODY MELODY MELODY!!! Thank you, so stupid how stressed i’ve been then when Lizzy showed up, I’m like, omg mel, come back Lizzy’s here lol. Good, sorry about bill i feel bad, i think i’ll just keep quiet for a while and watch it all around me. i DO feel bad for the avid bill fans cause like i said amillion times, I LOVE BILL and always have, just not THAT way. so carry on ya’ll, so glad your back Melody xoxox

jaxx January 29, 2011 at 11:02 am

Applause all around Elise!!! Nicely said. I totally agree with your assessment. 🙂 This is what’s nice about this site. You get so many different perspectives of the same scenario. Sometimes there are just things you don’t think of or see that others do. Nice job to everyone all around. 🙂

jaxx January 29, 2011 at 10:45 am

Hey Lizzie, nice to hear from you. Would you please tell Nia we do miss her too!! We did have some heated debates and sorry if you felt uncomfortable coming here. I am a debater, always have been. I do like to hear both sides of a discussion. Stress isn’t good for anyone though. I, myself, am striving to be kinder and gentler in 2011 to all here. It’s ok to be passionate about the show, but when you come down to it, this is only a TV show, no sense in getting crazy or upset over it. We all have real lives and loved ones to worry about. It is the way AB says it is and that’s it. Besides, I will always have my books, so I’m good this year. LOL.

And, while Eric did not say Bill’s name specifically in the quote, they showed a flashback of Sookie being beaten up by the Rattrays implying what Eric was talking about, so I guess we’re both right in a sense.

Eric wanted Sookie to know the truth about Bill’s ulterior motives. Eric has watched from the sidelines for a long time giving Bill many opportunities to come clean to Sookie. I guess burying him in cement was the last straw and he finally had enough and told Sookie the truth. LOL. Eric does care for Sookie at this point. If this would have happened in S1, I don’t think Eric would have cared enough to tell Sookie anything at all. Things have changed now. Bill did rat out Eric to Russell also so I think snitching will and does even out with those two vamps.

I personally am waiting for Sookie to hook up with Alcide and/or Eric for a while. It’s good to date others and see what else is out there before settling on someone, imo. Who knows, she still may end up with Bill at the end and if so, then that’s the way it’s meant to be. I’m just in it for the ride right now.

Hope to see you 2 pop in now and then. 🙂

mich January 29, 2011 at 8:46 am

Hi Lizzy, You dont know me like everyone else on here does. When i said Beel, it’s because it’s how sookie says his name, i was being funny and bringing the charecter into my post.. so let down your guard alittle, we’re not ALWAYS so serious on here., Passionate yes, And i have seen plenty of sookehh’s on here, talking how Bill says her name, so please use respect when replying, i am not a child and DO know how to spell Bill’s name,, that is my personality. That being said, Did bill EVER deny it? NOOOOO that’s the point everyone is trying to make, watching, it. ordering it WHATEVER!! If i was getting beat to an inch of my life, my worst enemy would try and stop it, NOT WATCH IT!! really? you think you can justify it by saying ” he didnt order it? he watched?” LMFAO!! NOW that sounds silly. You can pick on my spelling,( which is horrid), correct my names, say what you will, it’s all opinion on here and Bill WATCHING was fact. Say Eric’s name any way you want, could care less, i dont get defensive over the asshole, however, he’s my fav, so? THAT being said, it’s a show not reality. we dont fight , we debate and i’m sorry if my humor of Beel wasn’t funny to you, that’s how sookie talks and i was quoting… so Beel it was.. as far as the turn out of how AB turns this is anyones guess, we’re probably all wrong and lala ends up with eric and bill and sookie with Pam for all we know, the only FACT NOONE can dispute and we ALL agree on is that TB is the best show out there, so keep the opinions coming ya’ll!!

mich January 29, 2011 at 8:13 am

Isis, Totally agree with your point of WHY sook may have had sex with Bill “for her loss of Gran, her need to feel human” even MORE reason for bill to NOT take her virginity! That , as well as Gran, she can never get back. I believe whole heartedly, that Bill loved her at that point or sealed the deal of his love for her. I dont believe Bill ever WANTED to hurt Sook, it’s just how it played out and in the end he horribly regretted it. I just wish HE would have told her, BUT.. he didnt’. Like Elise said, Eric has NO aliance to either Bill or sook, and if someone tried to bury me in cement, omg, i would SOOOOO have done the same thing and told sook what Bill had done, it’s in HUMAN nature to avenge his OWN “humanity” “Vampirity” whatever you wanna call it. And Bill tried to kill him! THE SHERIFF , the one BILL is supposed to answeer to. Up untill THAT point Eric kept his mouth shut! So sorry, as impartial as i am, or try to be, HE TRIED TO BURY ERIC IN CEMENT!! That’d piss me off enough to want a little revenge, and if i prospure something from it, even better!

Again, i Love Bill and he loves sook, but they are not good together, it’s not how it’s gonna end up, they are like oil and water.. BIll has almost killed HIMSELF trying to save sookie, yes, but trying to save sookie for a position HE put her in. sorry I hope noones mad, i usually dont go tthis far lol. Good morning by the way everyone, still have to have coffee and then i’ll start my normal flip flopping again,,,

lizzie1701 January 29, 2011 at 6:29 am

Elise, Hi. I regret using sleaze in a way, but the look of him preening himself whilst telling Sookie “the truth” (lets see what AB does here as he said in his video clip that all is not as it seems)and flicking off bits of cement – he did that deviously and with his back to Sookie. He was more of a prick.

Anyhow, I tend to agree with a lot you have said re Bill telling Sookie. Once they did the biz, it would have been hard for him to tell her, I guess, and let’s face it, Sookie was not receptive in listening to ‘Vampire Politics’ and has a short fuse. He was really probably waiting for the right time. I am a bit like him in that I don’t like hurting people and do take a long time to say or do something.

Anyhow, AB said at the beginning that this will be a love affair between two misfits and they will have to overcome trials and tribulations to be together in love blah blah blah. AB has turned around just about everyone and made them raw images of themselves and it is now the time for redemption and bettering oneself. So I will look forward to Bill’s redemption!

Also, re Eric at Fangtasia, you thought that Eric does not like drinking from some one by force – you forget the incident with Laf at Fangtasia when he had Laf chained up and after Laf tried to escape (by biting into Royce’s hip for the metal after Eric chewed him to death) and poor Laf was lying on the lounge pleading for his life or to be turned, then Eric, Pam and Chow fed on him, causing him to cry in pain and horror. So, I guess he does drink without permission.

Also, when Eric had his GREAT PLAN to top KRE, he had Sookie chained up, Bill and Yvetta saved her, then Eric found her again for KRE whilst she and Bill were trying to escape. Now, KRE took the first bite and Sookie yelped and Eric took his bite and Sookie winced. They both must have drank a bit because Sookie went to Fae Land, like she did when Bill almost drained her. Now, Eric said after his “great revelation” to Sookie re Bill, that he would not have intentionally hurt her, but Eric DID NOT HAVE A PLAN for Sookie!!! Sookie was almost drained and Bill was tied up begging Pam to let him free so as to save Sookie. Now, wouldn’t you think that Eric would have had a plan for Sookie? ie Pam giving Sookie her blood?/ I mean, Eric was going to meet the sun with KRE, so, in his mind he was not coming back. Now, if he was so interested in Sookie and did not mean to harm her, why did he not make provision for her to be given blood after her draining? Why did Bill have to beg Pam to release him so that he could feed her??? Bad Plan, Eric, and he lied to Sookie in that revelation scene. He was so incensed with having revenge with KRE, he did not care. Plus, because of Eric and his revenge, killing Talbot and making KRE go crazy and do what he did on TV, has more or less destroyed the VRA movement, like Bill said to him. AB said that Eric will be involved with Vampire politics for S4. I wander if he will have a lot of explaining to do to the Authority??

Isn’t True Blood exciting!! So many puzzles!

Sheila January 29, 2011 at 1:48 am

Hi Isis, as much as I am team Eric at the moment, I must admit that Alcide/Sookie is something I am looking forward to seeing, I have said it before, I will say it again, I think she should see what Alcide has to offer, and Eric, and let the better Supe win, but it’s still a tough choice. Luck Girl either way.

lizzie1701 January 29, 2011 at 12:30 am

Hi all, I’m Lizzie. Avid True Blood watcher, avid Bill lover and avid Stephen Moyer Lover! I am NOT a fan of Eric nor do I think he is an innocent, good looking or sexy. There, that is all covered.

Nia and I used to debate here OFTEN but we were worn down by endless debate and sticking up for our boy Bill. It was just going round and round in circles and I guess you love who you love and hear what you want to hear or see. Nia used to post direct quotes from the books or the series and it still did not matter or register, so she is on holiday in a Bill friendly site for a while. She also has personal issues and can’t post often but may come back prior to S4. I, on the other hand, lurk, and let Nia know what is being said etc. I do post a little on various articles, but I am also war weary. So many sites and so much hatred for Bill – it takes it toll. I also work very odd hours and late at night and am sometimes too tired to post.

But, I think I am back! So Isis and Melody – I have your backs!

Jaxx – Eric did not say that Bill had arranged to have Sookie beaten up – I just watched the last few minutes again of ep 12 S3 and Eric said “what about letting 2 psycho’s beat her within an inch of her life so that you could feed her your blood”. It has yet to be divulged that Bill had arranged for the beating. Don’t you think Eric was a sleaze ball for divulging this info – not for Sookie’s welfare, but as punishment for Bill for trying to cement him? (Before you go “but Bill tried to kill Eric” – don’t forget that Eric was trying to get Bill first! He tried to get rid of Bill at the tribunal knowing the punishment was 5 years in a coffin with silver and in the first episode of S3, we know he had Rueben go and bring Bill in because the Queen was not happy about Bill knowing about the V sales. I am sure Bill was not being asked around for a bottle of Tru Blood!)

Antonio – Bill did not knowingly lead King Russell to Sookie. Go back to when Debbie Pelt visited Alcide and Sookie was resting in bed and heard the arguing. She came out and Debbie started throwing abuse to Sookie. Sookie asked what she had done with Bill Compton and in Debbie’s mind, Sookie heard “who is Bill Compton?”. She also said some nasty stuff to Sookie, accusing her of being with Alcide. Now, we know that Debbie is Cooter’s girfriend and she went back and told Cooter what was going on at Alcide’s and Sookie asking her about Bill. Now, we know that the King knew that Sookie was in Jackson. Cooter went up to Bill to tease him about Sookie and Bill bashed him up. The King was teasing Bill as he already knew that Sookie was at Alcide’s from Debbie. He was then playing a joke at Bill’s expense, because Bill had told the King he no longer was interested in Sookie blah blah blah and the King wanted to prove Bill was lying (there – that word that EL’s love to use). Bill went to Sookie and so did the King and Cooter because they knew already where she was! Just watch the episode again, Antonio. You will see it make sense.

Anyhow, that’s enough from me. I might seem harsh in my treatment of Eric, but I am a big pussycat, and my purr is louder than my roar!!! It is all fiction and is meant to get us all going and it is TRUE BLOOD!

Elise January 28, 2011 at 9:49 pm

You are absolutely correct, Isis, I just trying to warn mich not to expect fireworks. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I tend to steer towards the negative sometimes… I like being pleasantly surprised.

jaxx January 28, 2011 at 9:02 pm

LOL mich and Isis, we all can agree on Alcide. Yum, he’s my warm-blooded favorite. What a perfect body, you can’t deny that. I totally agree, an Alcide/Sookie hookup would be fine with me also, I’m sorta looking forward to it. hee hee

mich January 28, 2011 at 8:51 pm

OMG ISIS!! Think about it, she’d have the best of everything, A sup, (which is still hot being “not all human” and having the daylight, a family, a baby, and someone WARM to snuggle up to AND HOT!!??? now THAT”S the best it gets, i still love eric, but i guess in an unrealistic non commitment way lol. Alcide would be the whole package for Sook!! although she likes drama and with Debbie being gone… she may not like alcide with no drama, unless AB follows the books, then there’s drama, so hell yeah Sookie…. Could it get any better really??? If he was an ass hole, he’d be my perfect choice lol.

jaxx January 28, 2011 at 7:58 pm

mich, it’s ok to like both Bill and Eric. I actually like Sam and Alcide too. Quite honestly, I do feel for Bill. He is caught between a rock and a hard place. Started out a mission and ended up falling in love. If he only would have gone about things differently for me. I do like his character on TB though. SM is a great actor. It will be interesting to see what they do with Bill this season. I hope Melody comes back too. Didn’t mean to alienate her. Just commented we miss some of the old posters as well but always welcome new posters. The more the better. It makes for great discussions. 😉

jaxx January 28, 2011 at 6:39 pm

Isis, I miss those 2 crazy kids. LOL. Hope they come back when S4 starts up again. We really need a good debate or two. It’s been a while. 🙂

jaxx January 28, 2011 at 4:52 pm

Melody, it’s all good. This is not an “Eric only” site. We all play pretty well together. Stay with us. It’s always good to hear the flip side of an opinion or point. 🙂

mich January 28, 2011 at 12:35 pm

Melody omg I was NOT being mean to you at all, i dont know why you sound mad at me??? Your my number one on here i would NEVER post anything to upset you, re read my post honey and tell me what i said??? I dont want you mad at me, you know i flip flop my opinions with Bill, i love him reguardless,,, i just read different posts and other peoples opinions sometimes bring me to one side or the other, that’s what i love about this site is that everyone HAS their own opinions and it opens my eyes to see other points of view, so again i am very sorry if i said something wrong? i re read it and didn’t see it. so NO!!! i dont want you to go anywhere else!!!-mich

Melody January 28, 2011 at 8:59 am

Mich, I”m just as new as you are and at least most folks here are “Eric” people. I’m new and I”m pretty much alone in my defense for Bill…..so, hello…..can I come in and play too? I dont know. Or should I take my Bill fantasies to another site…we Bill people are in the minority…Maybe it’s because he looks ALOT like my first boyfriend (first love) and also because I love civil war stuff…and he is civil war stuff…..okay, it’s early in the morning and I’m not really awake yet so excuse the ridiculous ramblings. I am so bored waiting for S4, Im on the “witches” thing in the book I am re-re-reading to pass time. Husband bought me “Death’s Takes a Vacation” with Charlaine Harris stories in it (only one)…..cant get into it passed her story…am totally spoiled with the TB cast. And I was in such a state waiting for the the next Twilight movie to come out….PULEEEZE….what was I thinking..after discovering Sookie/Bill/Eric…..there really is nothing more for me.
Antonio, I love your synapsis….they are always such food for thought. You get so deep…..I enjoy reading it…makes me think….

Elise January 28, 2011 at 1:02 am

I remember her grandmother died, she walked into the house, ate her pecan pie, put on her nightgown and ran to Bill. He ran to her, grabbed her, and made love to her. I understand that it was a heated moment of passion when she accepted him… But not telling her and falling into the moment instead makes Bill weak. he is a man, not an 18 year old boy who can’t control his libido. And she only met Eric once, and had no ties to him at this point. At this point, he was only interested in her talents and only brokered her through Bill. She would have been mad, flared up, took a week to cool off, and came back to him. He should have had the guts to do the right thing, and she had the right to be mad.

Sheila January 28, 2011 at 12:40 am

Hi Antonio, Maybe QSA couldn’t or didn’t want to tip her hand just yet because she was involved with Sookie’s cousin Hadley, and perhaps she did not want to worry their was a link between the two, that Hadley would be able to warn her somehow what was comming. Perhaps QSA is feeling in danger of loosing her queen-dom and wants an ace in the hole as they say. Maybe she wants to use Sookie the same way Eric does.(Probably) Although I don’t like how Bill has devolved, I do believe he was sent to obtain Sookie for QSA but decided he wanted this woman for himself. He was intriuged by Sookie because in the beginning she did not want his blood, but she helped him, and in turn she could not read his thoughts and not have to work 24/7 to get some peace and quiet in her head. I mean, pardon the expression, being a Vamp has shown to be a “cut throat” deal and it seems like everybody keeps trying to steal the toys outta everybody elses sandbox, but I am off track for a second, if QSA had given Bill an order or put in in a way that let Sookie get wind of the fact that she was a pawn in a bigger game for somebody else’s amusement, knowing Sookie like we do now, Do you really think she woulda just said “Ok” I’m already at Eric’s disposal, I’ll just go over here and get further tangled up in Vamp Stuff” I don’t think it’s gonna be simple as all that for QSA when it comes to Sookie. JMHO

Antonio January 28, 2011 at 12:12 am

regarding QSA by the way, Something puzzles me. Viewers of the Show are lead to believe that Bill Compton was sent to Bon Temps to “procure” Sookie Stackhouse for Sophie-Ann.
Now, I found it to be odd that QSA Never checked up on Bill’s progress or had him spyed on..to monitor his mission.

Bill visits QSA in S2 to ask her how to get rid of Maryann. At No point does she seem upset or angry with Bill. You’d think that if she sent him to learn all about Sookie and procure this gal for her,That she would at least ask about it! ” So, Bill..How’s it coming?” “Did you aquire her yet For me as I told you?” Why is it she Never asks This??
She Could have threatened him “Bring me the girl or I’ll have Your fangs!” How is it that Bill can purposely disregard a direct order from the queen with No consequences??
Was it Because Bill fell in love with her that he felt he could disobey an order from QSA

On The Other Hand, I Do think that Bill was as fascinated with Sookie as she was with him! He could sense that there was something “different” about her..Which is why he kept asking “What Are You?” Her response “I’m a waitress” was less than satisfactory. He wanted to know What she was and WHY she was So Different! Sookie had some nerve,too! Most gals would have taken Bill’s order,Brought him the glass of wine ,Maybe made Some small talk and went about Their buissness!
I’m Sure Bill was taken aback to see a Human come to his aid the way Sookie did! Bill just could Not understand her! He couldnt get a “read” on her Anymore than she could on him!
“Aren’t You Afraid to be out here,alone,With a hungry vampire?”
Most gals wouldnt have even put themselves in That situation!
I Still say that their initial attraction was magic…lightning in a bottle! He agreed to meet her Gran and visit with Her Family.
Surely,He could have abducted her That very night and taken her back to QSA! He didnt Do That!
I think that Bill wanted So Much to reconnect with his humanity that he maybe felt that Sookie made him feel Real again!
However,There was No denying that he Was a Vampire!
I guess i can understand Why he didnt turn her over to QSA.
But Why didnt She Do Anything about it??
In S2, She even says to Bill “I look forward to meeting her.”
instead of “Bring her to Me,Now!”

With regards to S4. What will be the Queen’s part?
Will she go after Sookie,Now that she knows Bill wont deliver her?
Will Hadley be in this new season?
As for Her and Alcide, Let me just say that something throws a wet blanket on their chance for Love…Not to mention that kook Debbie!

mich January 27, 2011 at 10:38 pm

Not sure it i’ve mentioned this “a few times”… i’m only on book 5 so please please try to be alittle more passive on book talk. thanks- Good night all my TB land peeps.. signing off from farmington NY xoxox

jaxx January 27, 2011 at 10:03 pm

I’m with you Elise. I couldn’t put up with that behavior either. Does Pam have a sister?? LOL. I’d be her sister.

jaxx January 27, 2011 at 9:51 pm

Elise, ALL are welcome here to play, so Welcome. We bicker and argue but try to do it with respect as well. Some love Bill, some love Eric. It’s all good. 🙂

Elise January 27, 2011 at 9:23 pm

I got what you are saying, Melody but nope, not me. This is probably my Russian personality speaking, but I’d kick him out as soon as I’d hear this information, and I’d send Eric into the same direction, because he knew of it and therefore was somehow involved. Let see him try and deny it, from outside my doorway. In the end of Season 3, if I was her, I’d kick them both out and advise them to start dating each other, because they would have more luck that way then trying to get me to forgive either one of them. Its not my job to sit there and forgive them their weaknesses and compulsions, and understand their power struggles. Excuses don’t move me. I still got manipulated, used, and lied to. All the whole Queen/Eric made me do it excuse means is that it can happen again. They’d be lucky that I wasn’t a vampire, or they’d get more then kicked out. She drank blood from both of them and they are both messing with her head. I had a man I was dating once lie to me/trick me when I was 19, and I found out about it from his best friend who wanted to date me and thought he’d break us up (very similar scenario). Not only did I break up with him, I took revenge, and purposely ruined his oldest friendship because I knew that’s what he valued the most, and I’d do it again. Why? Because I actually had feelings for him. And he had an excuse too, which he told me some time later. I know, I’m heartless, vengeful and ruthless. I’d make a great vampire. 🙂

Melody January 27, 2011 at 8:42 pm

One more time…..
The only thing we know for sure about the Bill/Sookie beginning is that he was ordered by the queen to seduce her and find out everything he could find out. He did not love her at the time, so it was no big deal to him. The only one who says he had the Rattrays beat her is Eric…that wasn’t in the book and I won’t believe it till season 4 expands on it, maybe. So, if you say he shouldn’t have done what the queen said because “he was her boyfriend”…he wasn’t at the time. He was a stranger. THEN he fell in love with her and hadn’t told her because he feared losing her. That is his only sin.
He has tried over and over to keep her safe. Heck, he got out of his hidey-hole to save her in the daylight when Renee’ was trying to kill her. He almost died. He genuinely loves Sookie and he is trying with everything he has not to lose her to Eric. Eric is using his power, his control, and tricks to get Sook to want him. Including breaking her heart into little pieces because HE decided she should know…..was it hurting her not knowing? Was Bill bad for Sookie so Eric had to save her from him? No. Not at all. He was pissed because he got cemented by a younger vampire, so time to tell Sookie and break them up and oh by the way, break her heart and pull the rug out from under her.
The one and only thing bad that Bill ever did to her was in the absolute beginning, of which he had NO choice. And then after he loved her he was afraid to tell her but he loved her and showed her how much over and over….
He’s not perfect, they keep showing us what a hard time he is having being vampire, trying to be human. Truthfully, I’m beginning to like him better than Sookie, she’s so wishy washy, throw him out, ask him in, don’t give him a chance to explain anything, just take Eric’s word for everything….what? Would you do that if faced with that news? Not me….I’d want a blow by blow explanation. BUT !! It’s a freakin show, I have to keep reminding myself.
Mich, move over, I’m joining you. lol….

mich January 27, 2011 at 6:55 pm

Sweet, i’ll make us all “true blood crew” bottle cap jewelry!! with the website on it lol… think Isis would want a cut? just kiddin Isis, i’ll advertise for free!!

jaxx January 27, 2011 at 6:39 pm

Of course Mich, we’ll all good here. Old and new, we all get along. We’ll all be the 2011 crew. LOL. 🙂

jaxx January 27, 2011 at 6:31 pm

mich, I agree that Bill had to follow the instructions of his superiors, but I think he was to use his discretion as to how to accomplish this mission. I don’t think he had to let Sookie get almost beaten to death to then have to save her life. I think Bill could have gone about “procuring” Sookie or gaining her trust in a different way. The argument is not so much that Bill had to follow directions, it’s more about how he went about following the directions that’s troublesome to me. No doubt he fell in love with her and her with him, but as Sookie said herself, Bill manipulated her into loving him. Not good. The difference is that Eric was not Sookie’s boyfriend/lover and Bill was. You would expect different behavior from Bill, her boyfriend, who loves her than from Eric who was not involved with Sookie but has learned to care for and respect her as time goes on. I guess we’ll have to see where S4 takes us with Bill, Eric, Sookie and Alcide. No matter what, it should prove to be interesting. 🙂

jaxx January 27, 2011 at 6:20 pm

Hello Sandy, nice to hear from you again. I think we’ll hear from a lot of the “old crew” once it starts getting closer to S4.

Sandy January 27, 2011 at 1:04 pm

Hi Jaxx and Trubie crew
Wanted to drop in and say hello ~ still around, still getting email updates and will probably post much more once the show is back on for season 4.
It’s been moving along swiftly thus far – it’s already 2011 so Happy New Year everyone here @ TBnet.com Mwah.
Much love
cheers
sandy

mich January 27, 2011 at 7:46 am

Hey Antonio

I have to say , as an AVID eric Lover , I dont feel Bill did ANYTHING unjustifiable at ANY point. He HAD to follow the directions of everyone around him, right down to Eric, so I’d say yeah, i’d be alittle frustratd too. He could never be his own man, there was always SOMEONE to answer too. So i dont believe he was Deseptive (forigive my spelling, it SUCKS!!) at all, he was doind what a vamp does, and that’s follow an order. Unfortunatley he’s at the botttom of the totem pole. I wish people would give him a break,( yes, melody , i know, NOT REAL lol) But even tho i love eric and bill is really nothing to me, my heart aches for him… i dont need to say why, anyone who knows the story line , and is a Bill fan knows why…. thanks for listening to someone as confused as Bill right now, I love ERIC damn it!!

Antonio January 27, 2011 at 3:00 am

I didnt care for the Arlene-Terry storyline..Nor Did i care for the Jason-Crystal Storyline. I really dont like where they went with Sam! They show a dubious past and a darker side? Not to mention I did not like the whole bit with the Mickens…and the dog fight scene. Jessica and Hoyt are always a good storyline and it was nice to see Laffy find a love interest. Joe,Theo and Denis All did a Great Job acting their respective characters!
Mariana Klaveno Was terrific as Lorena! That barn scene Alone between Her and Bill should get them an Emmy each! Denis O Hare should Also Get 1 or at least be nominated! Its cool now that Alcide will be in the series more. He was a more prominent figure in the books! Pam is also featured more in the books. Hope we get to see her more!

jaxx January 26, 2011 at 7:16 pm

Hey Loleaf and Isis, I miss the old gang!!! Hope they come back at least after the Season 4 starts. Oh well, I guess we all have lives. LOL. Yes this topic has been debated and debated and debated before. I also liked Pam and Sookie’s friendship from the books, I hope we get to see some of it this season. The idea of Sookie getting amnesia is growing on me. Look at all the possibilities associated with it. I just hope we have at least one “naked shower scene”. hee hee 😉

~ Caitlin January 26, 2011 at 2:16 pm

Hi jaxx and mich,

Actually, Sookies mind could be sort of glamoroud (or whatever fairies call in in the book) by fae in the book. There was a short story called “Gift Wrapped” in A Touch of Dead where Sookie was glamoured by a faery named Preston because of her grandfather. It is possible that could happen in the show but not definite.

loleaf January 26, 2011 at 12:25 am

Hey Jaxx! Weren’t we along with (pbt, Isis, Lizzie, Antonio, and I can’t forget Nia), debating this same thing for the last couple of seasons during the hiatus. LOL.. A good thing never gets old does it! 😉 Great mind and all that. I hope the new writers come up with a way to lead back to some resemblance of the books, not to mention Sookie and Eric’s chemistry and Sookie and Pam’s friendship. They’ve begun to stay off the path in some area’s, pretty soon they will have to completely rewrite Charlaine’s books altogether! Who knows maybe they’ll have bring on Dr. Drew and have a “Love Line Bon Temps style”! 🙂 Hey it could happen!! lol

mich January 25, 2011 at 8:06 pm

Ya know, i was thinking, if Sook gets amnisia, that’ll just be too odd concidering she cant be glammored and she cant have HER mind read and she IS a fairy, so would it even be possible to give her amnisia???, i think it’s toooo wayyyy off of who sookie is. Her mind cant be ultered because of who and what she is. just like she cant read claudine’s mind in the books… so if she’s truly a fairy then her mind cannot be ultered if this all plays with the rest of the seasons…. my thought :0)

~ Caitlin January 25, 2011 at 7:12 pm

I still hope Eric is the one to get amnesia but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Sookie. Maybe Queen Mab will be upset when Claudine brings Sookie to Faeland. Humans are not supposed to know about it because that threatens the faes existence so the queen might erease her memory just a thought. As much as I wnat Eric and Sookie to get together, it might seem like he is taking advantage of her if she has amnesia and they hook up. It would also be interesting if he took care of Sookie. It might not be a bad thing if Sookie is the one to get amnesia. I just don’t know how Eric/Sookie would happen. What if more than one person gets amnesia? May Eric anf Sookie will both get it. Whatever they go with will be interesting. I really hope for a Pam/Eric flashback. I want to know how she convinced Eric to turn her.

I like Tara but I hope she is not vicitimized yet again next season. Give the poor woman a break first her mom, then Maryanne then Franklin. I did enjoy the Franklin storyline though.

Sheila January 25, 2011 at 3:00 pm

Thanks Jaxx. I do realize that both have their faults, but personally when I look at everything over all, At this moment, I would have to say Eric is the Man, but we will see what AB has in store for us.

mich January 25, 2011 at 12:59 pm

i think if sook has the amnesia we’ll find out alot about all 3… including if sookie only loves bill because she drinks from him and visa versa and same with eric, maybe she’ll pick niether of them. i’m only on book 5 so i dont know much and i prefer to follow the series. even tho the books came first, i feel the series is where my heart is drawn as stupid as that may sound. I hope it’s eric but your right, AB def. likes to switch it up and thats why he’s so good!! if he followed the books then it would never be a suprise and # 2…. lafeyett would be gone if he followed the books so thank god for him!!!!! I am SOOO glad he changes it up or we wouldn’t all be holding our breath waiting each week if we all new what was gonna happen

mich January 25, 2011 at 11:06 am

omg that would thow me WAYYYY for a loop concidering i have been wait to SEE sook and eric together sextually for so long, and it is going to be terrible if he gets with her only because she cant remember!! THEN i’ll be mad! i’m dying to see the softer side of eric, thank god it’s only a short period of time because i love the jerk in him better, but i think i will be alittle disapointed if the plot changes THAT much.. and omg i hope it follows the books and the whole Tara thing goes away, she’s so over dramatic it drives me crazy, i usually get a snack or head to the bathroom when those Tara parts come on, just over played i think. Cant wait to see what he does with season 4, Best series ever made and i’m recruting non watchers ever day!! Do WE have a vote who gets amnesia??? lol

jaxx January 25, 2011 at 8:57 am

I have to agre with Elise and Sheila. I’ve had this argument before and believe me, it’s not a pretty one. LOL.

I read the books first. I have to admit that in the first 2 books, I was rooting for Bill and Sookie also, but after book 3 and the Lorena revelation and than the real reason why Bill came to BT to begin with, I realized Bill wasn’t what I thought he was either and realized Eric and Sookie is the couple I should be rooting for. And, if you add in the added fact that wasn’t in the books regarding Bill setting Sookie up with the Rattrays, it’s a done deal for me.

Both vamps are cunning, ruthless, manipulative, selfish, etc. That’s what vamps do. And, while in the beginning Eric needed Sookie for “his agenda”, he has learned to respect Sookie and become her friend. Eric is a very loyal person to the people who are loyal to him. He “tests” people to see if he can trust them and how much he can trust them. Eric is very calculating and after 1,000 years, he knows who he can trust and who he cannot. I believe deep down inside Eric knew he could trust Sookie and started to have feelings for her, feelings he’s either never had or hasn’t had in a long time. Once he found out what Bill was really doing in BT and the whole Rattray farce, he set out to expose Bill’s true agenda to Sookie because at this point, even if he is fighting it himself, he cares deeply for Sookie, maybe even loves her at this point, and doesn’t want her to get hurt even further by Bill. Eric doesn’t lie to Sookie. Sookie is on a “need to know” basis with Eric and that’s only because is Sookie knows too much, he can be a target for other vamps or supes too. Once you are in Eric’s confidence, he will protect you until death. That’s what I love about Eric.

I think in S4 we will see Eric exposed, the raw Eric, without the vampire politics, business aspects, just the real Eric. I think Sookie will see that too.

Funny Melody, my husband is 5 ft 10 and Indian (native american)Dark hair and his eyes are almost black… hot too i might add, and never dated a blonde either, and OMG yeah BIll comin out of the dirt there’s NO scene that compares to that!! And i thought eric was butt ugly the first season, the second, he got me, dont know why, no clue. Wish i new cause i am getting lost in this series, it scares me, i count down the days, i so live eat and sleep TB it’s pathetic, but i love it, it’s where i wanna be for real!! so jealous of sook it’s sick!

mich January 24, 2011 at 7:15 pm

OK, I was gone…. i have been reading all of your postings and melody, i still keep coming back to you, you are so awesome in the way you put it out there. we disagree on the bill and eric thing but ONLY because i’m a “bad boy” girl. and as far as all the .. Bill did this but…. and Eric did that but… in reality (and trust me, in my world True blood IS reality for all of you that know me here) they BOTH have their short comings in some way… bill is awesome, he really is, he just got caught up in the wrong “order” from the queen and fell in love in the process… Eric on the other hand, yes a real ass hole , but in the same boat. He’s realizing he CAN love and i believe he will or does or whatever, love her. He’s a jerk about it, but hey what do they say????? all’s fair in love and war? So bring it on season 4!! i’m sooooo ready to see some sook and eric sex i can barely breathe!! I miss bill and sook, but on the other hand it seemed like the same shit every episode with them, rescind, invite, rescind, invite. Just like the soaps, we know she’s gonna cheat and we know someone’s gonna die. I love Bill and Eric both, but i like my men alittle more… let’s say “manly? Bill is sexiest when he’s mad, all the other times he’s just alittle too… how do i say without getting yelled at?? less manly to be safe. And Bill without a shirt? Eric without a shirt? Come on Mel, ya gotta be pickin up what i’m throwin down here honey!! lol. Lets play solely on sexy…. HMMMMMM. your the best tho. . we may agree to disagree on alot but you’re so ME on your views as opposite as they may be sometimes.. you rock. I am seein elise as a close second!! I love everyone on TB, eric is just so ME is all… thanks guys!

Melody January 24, 2011 at 3:08 pm

It’s humorous how involved and defensive we get over these characters, isn’t it? I mean, do you think they are on websites defending us?? lol….I get it though, its hard not to get involved, they really drag us in with these story lines….

I think the Bill bashers are more phsically attracted to Eric and the Eric bashers are all about Bill’s good looks. We all have our own particulars, and we can debate who did what and why and what are their intentions and who is better, n all that forever…

It doesn’t matter I guess that Eric was going to let Longshadow drain Sookie? He just stood there folks, with Pam, watching the whole thing go down….does he care about her? mmmmm, no, doesn’t seem to ….. Eric is just so much more honorable than Bill because he didn’t lie to her in the beginning. Does everyone forget conveniently that Bill has to do what his elders tell him to do? And that is Lorena, the Queen, and Eric and anyone else…
he started out to do what the queen told him to do, he has paid for it over and over by saving her life, by loving her, by risking his own life….did honorable Eric have to send him off to get punished for killing Longshadow, no, he told Bill straight up that he didn’t even look into it whether it was necessary or not…..but he did anyway to get Bill out of the picture possibly. He loves to admonish, humiliate, punish Bill anyway her can…can’t he win Sookie over on his own?? Does he have to get Bill out of the way to do it? Would oh-so-straight-up Eric be so straight up if he had anything to lose, like Bill does,(he never wanted to lose her after he fell inlove with her so THATS why he didn’t tell her the truth)…..Eric has all the power over Bill because he’s so freakin ancient and decrepit. Yeah, I don’t think I want to chose a raping, pillaging, crude Viking over a Civil War soldier who told Lorena NO when she wanted to have sex with him that night she turned him…he just wanted to go back home to his wife and kids. But, hey, that’s just me… I think Sookie sees the good in Bill, and in Eric (now that he tricked her into taking his blood…hmmmmm, a rather desperate act by such a “viking” (a straight up honest viking..?) wouldn’t you say? Now in Eric she is totally sexually attracted to him because of the blood. In the book, nothing was said about Bill having Sookie beat up by the Ratrays and only having heard Eric say it to Sookie while pissed for being buried in cement, (which was a totally slick move for a lowly 173 year old rookie to overpower a couple thousand year old VIKING) I pretty much don’t believe Eric. And, because this is like a soap opera, she didn’t give Bill a chance to explain anything, it’s all about keeping us hanging…. Yep, the queen told Bill to investigate Sook and do whatever needed to get to know her…he didn’t glamour her, she ran to him because she wanted him, needed him. They love each other….and undoubtedly because of Eric, she and Eric will have lots of sex this coming season. I’ll just have to deal with that….. 😉 And Bill didn’t try to KILL Eric, he knew the cement wouldn’t hold him forever. Eric is 1000 times more cruel than Bill is….he had no problem throwing Bill’s lie right into Sookie’s face, just so he could be in a better light with her, regardless of how much he tore up her heart. Was it his call to determine that she had to know the truth?? I mean, is he the Dr. Phil of Bon Temp? He is all for Eric, and only Eric.
All the Bill bashers can say what they want, really, say how much you love Eric and how you prefer him and how you think he’s so sexy and attractive….that’s cool. He’s not my type. I like Bill’s dark eyes and his voice and the way he whispers “Sookay!”…..yum. But don’t go pinning any medals on Eric for honor and integrity. He’s a conniver, a con man, arrogant, bloodthirsty, and an egomaniac from another century. Cool.
And what’s really cool and keeps me in good spirits when I read what some people like to make up and keep harping on is that, hey, in real life, Sookie married Bill. Sooooo, Eric is all yours…. Sookie prefers Bill just like I do…..

Elise January 24, 2011 at 3:35 am

I think you are right, Sheila. I just finished reading the books and the TV series has been messing with my mind a bit. Yeah, I agree, I can’t stand liars and Bill is just that. Bill had her take his blood so that he could take her to the Queen, Eric did it to get close to her. I can’t wait for season 4. We should see lots of romantic passionate connection between them. My only regret is that the directors did such a poor job building a friendship between Eric and Sookie so it would be difficult for them to build a solid connection come season 4. Still, I’m going to stay positive!

Elise January 24, 2011 at 2:01 am

Personally, I think the stuff that Bill did is far worse then the stuff Eric did. I think that entire love part of Bill is a façade, something that he wants to be, but I don’t think he even understands what love is. Love is not saying it over and over again, its proving it with your actions. I think the reason I’m so antagonistic about Bill is because he is a liar. He is incredibly secretive, he never discloses any information to Sookie about the vampire world, his life, his responsibilities, he lied to her why he is in her town, how he met her, why he met her. Think about it: its not that he just met her under pretense; on the first night, people tried to torture and kill him, and she saved him. He offered her his blood, but she refused. The night after, he purposely stayed away, watching two people brutally beat her until she was near death, so that he could force her to drink his blood. What kind of a person, who is looking for his humanity, watches the woman who saved him the night before get pounded, so that he can further his agenda? He betrayed her with Lorena – yes, I think he has to man up to that. She put herself in serious danger in Mississippi, trying to save him, and he makes that disgusting phone call with Lorena in the background. And what exactly has Bill risked for her? What has he done for her that is contrary to his own agenda? Do you really think he was trying to kill Eric in the end of season 3 because he just didn’t want anyone to know about her blood? Really? Eric has had her blood already and he didn’t go berserk, and the only reason she was able to save Bill in the first place was because he assisted her, with Alcide, with support, checking on her time and time again. Do you really think that Eric would hurt her? Or, perhaps, he just realized that she is not taking him back after his second transgression and decided that Eric shouldn’t either? Interesting how Eric helped her save Bill even though that was against his interests, while Bill couldn’t even let Eric live. I am extremely suspicious of Bills protection of Sookie, its clingy and obsessive and it reeks of jealousy and mistrust. I think that Bill has a façade of a nice guy, but that this façade is cracking to show us a liar, a habitual manipulator. He holds a certain position in the vampire world, he has certain responsibilities – does she even know who he is? Oh, yeah, he did take her virginity and told her that he loved her, and killed two humans after they beat her and drunk their blood – drinking them must have been such a sacrifice. And giving her blood – he enjoys that, that’s no sacrifice either.

Eric’s biggest flaw, if you think that’s a flaw, is his brutal honesty. His view is, I want to do her, so he tells her that, very explicitly. Why does that make him the bad guy? That makes him better then men who manipulate women into thinking they want something more. He gives this outer appearance of being ruthless and relishes his power, but that shell continues to crack. Its not just Sookie; its how he protects Pam. He values his relationships deeply, and his behavior in season 3 shows how he takes responsibility for people in his life. His job is to find Godrick, and he sends her to Dallas, forces her to do so. Well, Eric is not her boyfriend, he is a leader, a sheriff of Area 5, and Godrick is his family. He sends her because he is trying to save his family member, and he owes her nothing. He also follows her to Dallas to protect her. He did make her take out the bullets and made her drink his blood, but that only leveled him with Bill. Again, immediately afterwards she finds out about it. It takes her two seasons to find that out about Bill, and, again, from Eric. He chains Lafaette below, but then explains to her that if another vampire caught him, he would have been dead, while he choses to keep him locked up for 4 months. Eric follow the vampire laws, and by those laws he is loyal and trustworthy. Bill doesn’t like to tell the truth. Bill treats her like a puppy, but Eric, somehow, treats her like an adult and an equal. He levels with her, tells her what he really thinks, explains things about the werewolves, possibly hatching up some difficult history. Have we forgotten who it was that drunk her blood, walked out into the sun, and handcuffed Russell to himself to protect her? Where was Bill? Watching him? Planning his demise just in case he survives?

Sheila January 24, 2011 at 1:48 am

Sorry Isis, I get carried away sometimes, I have tried some of the other sites but this one is the best by far.

Melody January 23, 2011 at 6:52 pm

I get what you mean Elise. But, because I read all the books in a row in the last couple months, and then got the season 1 n 2 dvd’s, and THEN got HBO and watched the series 3 on demand, I’ve found it kind of hard to differentiate and keep up with which Bill and Eric I’m thinking of ! lol…..I don’t like how they’ve had Sookie throw Bill out and the attraction she is feeling for Eric, without giving Bill any chance at all to explain WHY he lied, why he did what the queen told him to do, how much he loves her now and has tried so hard to protect her.
Annnnnd, how about all the nasty stuff Eric has done? Okay, so he cried for his maker when he died (the real death) so does that make him all of a sudden expunged from all the crap he’s done? Iknow, I know, he’s all sexy and all that, and most people just love him, but I really prefer Bill and his protectiveness and the way he absolutely cherishes Sookie. He lied in the beginning…..okay. So? Is that worst thing he’s done? Yep.
Eric is using his age and his position to castigate Bill….real nice guy. He threw Sookie’s heart under the bus by telling her the truth…he knows Bill loves her now, was it necessary to tell her the truth? Just for is own sake, so she will turn to him …and hate Bill. I hope it doesn’t go that way….I’ll be pretty disappointed in Sookie if she is that shallow…not to give Bill a chance to express how he feels…and realize he HAD to do what the queen says, just like he has to obey Eric.
Okay, I think I’ve said enough! lol…

Antonio January 16, 2011 at 2:34 am

Season 3 of True Blood was about a “Meltdown” charcters were seen Devolving and Breaking Down. Bill was Still trying to hold on to his humanity….Something for which Lorena castigated him for. Now, It seems That which Bill So Desperately fought to hold onto has been taken from him. He has devolved into what he despised Most! Eric,Sam,Tara and Jason and Sookie Also experienced a Meltdown of sorts!
This Season Was about Who Can You Trust? I think that the writers did That Very Well! IF Bill is NOT what She thought him to be,Then What? Where does She Go from There?? This will set up Something unique….Sookie On Her Own! Surely, She will have some time to Re-evaluate her life with Bill and a possible hookup with Eric. I’m sure there will Also be a growing attraction with Alcide as well…Will His dark-side be revealed Next year? Who knows?
I think Sookie needs to realize that she needs to grow up and toughen up She doesnt Need to depend on a Man(Supe or Not) to be happy and fulfilled. She needs to feel good about Her Own self Without Bill or maybe even Eric! Perhaps Quinn will be introduced before S4 is over? One can Only wait and see

Sheila January 13, 2011 at 2:22 pm

Okay, so now is probally not the time to mention that there are always contests for that sort of thing Huh?

~ Caitlin January 11, 2011 at 3:33 pm

Hi Mich,

Heres the order of the books if you need the list. I think the order is listed in book. Target has the books for $6.00 and Kmart sells them for $5.00 I think.

1.)Dead Until Dark
2.)Living Dead in Dallas
3.)Club Dead
4.)Dead to the World (one of my favorites)
5.)Dead as a Doornail
6.)Definitely Dead
7.)All Together Dead (This one was interesting)
8.)From Dead to Worse
9.)Dead and Gone (I think you will really like some of that book)
10.)Dead in the Family
11.)Dead Reckoning (comes out in May!)

Yes, TB is addicting your not alone. I’m not ussually addicted to shows but TB changed that. Enjoy the books.

mich January 11, 2011 at 7:46 am

Ok Melody… I didn’t buy the book because I wanted to ask all you guys which one starts first, and now i’m kickin myself because it was IN MY CART!!! Now i have to go back grrrrr…. i want to get my gf De on here she’s an alcide freak too and he is soooo hot, however i dont know what it is about eric and the fang!! all started with twilight, omg how high school that was when i found TB!! now anyone who says “twilight is the best movie omg” (talking like a valley girl lol) I have to laugh when thhey say they’ve never seen TB!! I almost get mad, that’s how retarded i am… dont tell me twilight rocks because true blood would kick all thier ass’s and omg…. VAMPIRES DONT SPARKLE!!!

Melody January 10, 2011 at 9:05 pm

Mich, okay, so by my estimation, you bought the book about 2 1/2 hours ago, so how far are you into it???? lol…..You are not alone. I have all the books and am now re-reading them. Mostly because I cant live without some Bill/Sookie/Eric drama in my life daily, and because the TB series is quite off the books in my opinion, so I have to keep going back to see what really went on…the library option is a good one. I did that for the first book and then went to Wallmart for the rest of them, bought them in bulk! Husband watches with me also, of course all the nudity and sex doesn’t get by him for a minute so I don’t think he’s all that into the plot as much as he is the “sex”. Alcide….just, yum yum yum….he is just too hot for words. BUT, I am still loyal to Bill… so, have fun, enjoy the amnesia. It’s really hard to put it down once you start.

mich January 10, 2011 at 6:27 pm

So i went to walmart today to try and find the book that ended season 3 and starts season 4…. i think i found it but not sure, anyone wanna clue me in? THE closest i came was to the one where eric is walking down the street naked… is that the one that is starting season 4? HELP!! thanks again for all your help everyone, gonna start reading as sooon as i find out wich book to start with

Sheila January 9, 2011 at 3:20 am

I know what you mean, you’re not the only TB junkie. My honey is pure beefecake, but believe me when I tell you if he suddenly grew fangs, it would be on and I have made no secret of it He even plays along I used to be a star trek junkie and it was Worf all the way, and if he played along at Halloween I am still not sure who would have more fun, but at the moment, It’s all about the Fang! I have always been a neck girl So rest assured you are not alone. Have fun reading the books, I am sure you’ll have a great time learning all about our favorite Vamps and Supes! I have the whole set, and am waiting for the next two to come out later this year.

mich January 8, 2011 at 3:44 pm

OMFG I got so many replies to my posts and all of you said i have to keep reading, well there goes the bank , heading to walmart to get the rest darn it!! Melody… i have to say we are one in the same in so many ways!! On demand we got just for true blood too, we can barely afford freakin bread but god forbid if i dont have that foreplay to watch “on command” lol. This is a great sight, a bunch of freaks just like me and i almost feel human again knowing i’m not alone. Ok, time to be real ya’ll,,, i cry at the end of every one i watch !!! Really? ok beat that. why do i cry? because i love the freakin show so much, cry and clap lol. grow up !! I haven’t read as far as the amnesia thing, now i’m dying to know what you guys are talking about… Alcide????? one of ya brought him up to me, and yeah, who wouldn’t think he’s hot!! my bff claims him and i’m a straight up fangbanger… he’s smokin but missin the fangs. And dont get me wrong, my husbands hot,,,totally satisfied with every aspect of my marriage in every way, but wtf, TB is barney land for me. and thanks for all of you responding, i could live for waiting for responses just knowing they’re all regarding TB!! Anyone go on you tube? go there and type in eric northman taking a shower lmfao…. then type in what ever your imagination brings you, they have it, all TB stuff you wouldn’t believe!

Chocoberrysrtcake January 4, 2011 at 4:56 pm

You have got to continue reading, the books and different from the show. I have to say, I am happy I read the books because it allows me to have a double dose of pleasure:D

I hope they bring Quinn in….*drools*…

oOOo and Alexander Skarsgard is the perfect Eric for moi!

Melody January 4, 2011 at 11:57 am

Oh, you need to keep reading! Especially if you are an Eric fan. I’ve read them all and I’m sooo ready for the next one. I, personally, love the books more than the series. But, I still love the series. Have you read where Eric has amnesia from the witches? You need to read that, they get together….ALOT! YOu’ll love it.

mich January 4, 2011 at 8:50 am

ok…. WHEN IS THIS??? I”M DYIN!! watched erics scene on youtube but not together

mich January 4, 2011 at 8:39 am

first off, i’m a 37yr old married mother of 3, way WAY beyond obbsessed with this series. I mean like, NOT ok obsessed lol. My husband loves the show too,,, funny he’s a master diesel mechanice, redneck , hard working family man… imagine it lol.anyhoo… i starte3d reading the books and made it to the 3rd. however, i started watching on demand, fell in love and never finished the books. Being that I AM erics, now i’m wondering if i should re-start the books hearing Sook ends up with him. They never showed where he beat off on her back!! I was waiting for that for sure lol!! Anyways, i think i may pick up the 4th book because it doesnt look like eric and sook are ever gonna get it on and i need that FIX bad!!! Hope i’m not the only freak on here that wants her husband to say ” I want what is Bill’s” then bite her lol!!– being a “Vampire’s”….. priceless!!

jaz January 3, 2011 at 12:41 am

Can not wait for the Sookie Eric shower scene…

Faith January 1, 2011 at 6:30 pm

I read the books first and then started watching the series,,,I love them both equally for what they are and aren’t. They really went in-depth with some of the characters which I appreciate. The fact they kept Lafayette thrills me to death, he is one of my favorites! I’ve added all the books and dvd’s to my collection and hope to add more. Keep ’em coming HBO and Charlaine!!

kate December 24, 2010 at 1:07 pm

I love that the books and series differ in some ways… the whole orgy Tara plot of series 2 bored the hell out of me but generally I think the changes are awesome. Keeps it fresh for the readers out there. Really hope they do the amnesia plot but they can ditch the damn faeries for me. I always found those books to be dull compared to the others Nd I was really hoping the series would drop them entirely. On a separate point have any true blood fans read any Kelley Armstrong? Similar in that they include supes in modern times but they haven’t “come out”. I always hoped someone would serialize them…

Danielle December 13, 2010 at 9:45 am

Are we sure they are even going to include the amnesia parts? They could just have witches just to have them and be interesting.

Either way I am REALLY excited about next season! Bring it on!

Chica November 30, 2010 at 11:41 pm

CORRECTION.. meant to say.. if i am not mistaken…

LaceeeDogg :] November 26, 2010 at 6:49 pm

i love how they kept Lafayette 🙂 he gives the show pizazz

Sheila November 23, 2010 at 3:57 pm

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, that is part of what makes this forum so great, I have read the books because of the series, and think they are both awesome in their own right. I have read that CH loves the direction that AB has been going with her books and besides, if those of us who have read the books knew everything that was gonna happen all the time, it would be pretty boreing. That being said, they say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, CH is a writer, AB took her written word and brought it to life, now everytime I re-read the books between seasons, not only do I see other possible situations and outcomes, I can gain new insights into what I think may happen on the show next season. Hope you continue to enjoy S4 next year.

sara gamal November 18, 2010 at 11:02 am

i love true blood so mush

Presto November 18, 2010 at 12:06 am

Hey the books and the show are pretty different. I was hoping in the last episode of season 3 in the last moment ((BIG SPOILER AHEAD DO NOT READ THE REST IF HAVEN’T SEEN SEASON 3!)) that he hadn’t truly waited for the rat ray to near beat him to death. I like the near saint bill he was portrayed compared to book. Well still is compared to book but still… Series is great!

Lizzie1701 November 6, 2010 at 10:51 pm

Hi Loleaf – no, you were not pushy??? We are just giving our opinions and standing up for our views and our Vamps! LOL! Life would be boring without these debates!

Nia would like to join it too, but her time is strapped, unfortunately.

Til the next!

jaxx November 6, 2010 at 6:06 pm

Lizzie, I agree. Bill will try to win her back so you are right, the romance is not over yet. Season 4 is a long way away yet, I hope we get spoilers soon. They should start filming near the end of this month. YAY!!!!

jaxx November 6, 2010 at 11:47 am

Hi everyone!!! Good discussion and points being made all around from everyone.

I think we’re all forgetting that all three seasons have taken place over a very short period of real time. I know for us viewers it seems like 3 years and even I forget this from time to time. Maybe only about 2-3 months and I’m saying this based on Arlene’s sonogram where the Dr. said she was about 10 weeks pregnant and it’s with Rene’s baby back from S1. Season 2 was only about a 2 week duration and then season 3 followed immediately afterwards. Sookie has not know these vamps all that long then. She was with Bill then only about 3 months and has known Eric a little less. Sookie is building relationships with all these characters: Bill, Eric, Pam, Jessica, Russell, etc. She really doesn’t know them as well as we think she does. She thought she knew Bill inside and out, finds out she doesn’t and there were a lot of secrets there all along. She is building a relationship with Eric and Pam and Jess at this point. How many times do you get the wrong impression of someone at first and then learn you were wrong as time goes on? I think Sookie is now learning about her first impressions with both Bill and Eric and Pam and they are starting to reverse. The more she gets to know Eric on a personal level, the more she will start to see she got a wrong first impression and she’s already painstakingly learned that about Bill. Same with Pam. I think in S4, Pam and Sookie will get closer.

I also hope to learn more about Eric’s and Bill’s history. That would certainly explain a lot.

No I don’t think Bill set up the Rattrays to beat Sookie to near death, but the disturbing point is that he let it go that far to begin with. He wanted to gain her confidence to trust him to find out what she was, but I think he could have stepped in a little sooner than he did. She was attracted to Bill at first sight but also she was attracted to the first vampire she had ever met in her life, so that also should be counted as a factor. If any other vamp walked in that bar, I think she would have been intrigued also, i.e., Pam, Eric, Franklin. Bill’s good looks was just the icing on the cake for her. She knows she is different from other humans, so I think the idea of meeting a vamp, who is also different, was appealing to her. She said she waited 2 years after the vamps came out to meet one, any one of them would have done at that point, it just happened to be a handsome Bill Compton.

Yes, I would have to agree, seeing Eric running anywhere Naked, that has to be a delicious sight to see. I guess, we will just have to wait to see what AB has in store for us next season. Until then, I’ve got some reading and writing to keep me busy.

loleaf November 5, 2010 at 5:59 pm

Hi Lizzie.. Yes she did notice Bill a first, because she’d been waiting to see a vamp for a while, and in walks one into Merlotte’s. Curiosity of not being able to read his mind maybe, or just the pure fact that he is hot (being a virgin, who wouldn’t dream of him)!! Either could be a good guess.. 😉 But if he was waiting to see if she could protect herself.. why wait until she’s beaten nearly to death before he intervened! They wailed on her for a while and with such severity that the only way to heal her was to give her his blood. You know what they say curiosity killed the cat.. and almost Sookie for that matter.

You also have to remember that Sookie had almost the same reaction to seeing Eric the first time a Fangtasia that she had with seeing Bill at Merlotte’s..
I do remember Eric’s reaction to hearing Godric’s name at the hotel, but he was also listening quite intently when Barry said that he had a message from Sookie first. Yes, the head jerk came with Godric’s name, but he knew Sookie’s life was on the line, and that she was doing all of this for a vamp that she’s never met. For a breather that show’s him that she’s as protective a he is, and to do it for him, he wouldn’t have let anything happen to her. Hence wanting to trade himself for her to Newlin.

God.. I’ve forgotten how fun this was… 😀 and only 7 1/2 months to go!! LOL!

Hello Sheila,
I don’t think Bill “arranged” to have Sookie beaten up by the Ratts. Apparently (and I say this because I am still not convinced that it’s true because Alan Ball said something about nothing being like it seems, and I am an optimist) he did not step in to save her soon enough, so he could get his blood into her.
We have already seen examples of Eric’s lies. He lied to the Magister about who was selling vampire blood. He brought Lorena to Dallas, and I can hardly wait until he gets his comeuppance for that one. He also did the dirty on Bill for not stepping in to stop Longshadow from killing Sookie and arranged to take Bill to the tribunal for doing it. I’m not saying Bill is perfect, don’t get me wrong. But Eric is definitely not “brutally honest,” he is self-serving, as I would expect any decent vampire to be, LOL.

Lizzie1701 November 5, 2010 at 3:16 am

Loleaf,

Eric only made a move at the Dallas Hotel AFTER Barry said Godric’s name. He did not flinch when Barry said Sookie.

You forget! Sookie noticed Bill straight away when he first walked into Merlottes and the second time. She had her first dream of Bill BEFORE she had Bill’s blood. She had to have Eric’s blood before she had a dream of him. So, she was VERY ATTRACTED to BILL PRIOR to any blood exchange!

Also, it was quite obvious that Sookie was attracted to Bill – everyone noticed at Merlottes! Bill knew it as well, so I don’t think he needed to get his blood into Sookie by way of the Ratt’s beating – come on! All he had to do was wait it out because I think Sookie was hot to trot! IMO, Bill, after seeing her deal with the Ratts ie chain, when he arrived to meet Sookie, I think waited to see if she used her powers to deal with the Ratts but when she did not, came in for the kill. Look at this face and listen to his voice when he urged her to drink – TO SAVE HER LIFE! When it was obvious Sookie could not save herself, Bill was worried and did the only sensible thing – to give her blood to save her. It was all about the power that interested Bill. As AB said in the video – all is not as it seems. JMO!

Jana November 4, 2010 at 2:13 pm

Damn, i forgot. I was reading along and saw Summer, and than eight months and i was like what, but summer is only in like december. Haha, whoops, America, not Australia. I had a hate love feeling for the end of S3. Everyones going on about Sookie and her love triangle. But what i really want to know is, whats going on with lala, tara, sam and that wiccan lady. How are their characters going to play out.

jaxx November 3, 2010 at 8:31 pm

I guess you have to look at the individual circumstances and weigh whether Sookie should have been told or not or to what extent would Sookie get hurt. Yes, Eric didn’t divulge everything in Dallas and there were consequences to that, but Sookie was told of the risks and went anyway. She made that choice herself. This is the difference. Sookie did not have a choice in what Bill did with the Rattrays by having someone beaten to almost certain death so you can come in and be the hero and save her. This far outweighs the Dallas incident in my book. While it has been said by Amy Burley and Jason about “not divulging equalling lying”, there is a very fine line there, jimo. Yep, we could argue this all day. LOL. 🙂

sheila November 3, 2010 at 2:37 pm

I agree with you both. We will just have to wait and see. Thanks as always for the imput to ponder till S4. Till next thought…..

~ Caitlin November 3, 2010 at 12:42 am

Sookie is just as stubborn and strong willed as Eric sometimes. She didn’t listen to Eric or Alcide when they said that the Nazi weres were dangerous she just ignored them. Eric knew Sookie wouldn’t listen to him that is part of the reason that he sent Alcide with her. Also, he chained her up because he knew she wouldn’t listen. I still think they might skip ahead a couple months next season or start the show on that night and then skip ahead. The way AB ended last season makes that possible with Sookie and Tara leaving. I still think Eric will be the one to have amnesia. The amnesia storyline could continue to affect Eric down the road and maybe even future seasons.

loleaf November 2, 2010 at 8:24 pm

Another thing that I was wondering about. Sookie gives her word to Eric and sticks to it without any second thought. As she did to save Godric. But she also gave her word to Bill that she would stay a Lafayette’s when he went to see the queen, but left going back on her word to him. What c o u l d that mean! Hum any thoughts?

~ Caitlin October 31, 2010 at 11:55 pm

Hi loleaf,

I do agree with you. Yes, I think Sookie and Eric do have similarities. They are both very loyal people and so I think that also attracted him to her. Eric saw how loyal she was to Lala and other people. She showed her loyalty to him again and again by keeping her word. I never thought of the warrior thing but you are right Sookie is like a warrior. I also think Eric liked that Sookie stood up to him when they first met. People don’t usually stand up to Eric. I do think Sookie stands up to Eric more than Bill. I think that they are more equal. Eric/Sookie have more of a battle of the sexes situation. Also, I think Eric likes Lala to an extent (as much as he can like a human) because they are like in some ways. Personally, I enjoyed the scene when Eric came to Lala defense. He even tried to give him some useful advice.

~ Caitlin October 31, 2010 at 8:11 pm

A lot of fans would be ticked off if the story was drastically changed. The fans do have to be taken into consideration. Hopefully, us Eric/Sookie fans get at least a little bit of what we want. Eric/Sookie relationship is a big part of the books. That shower scene did seems as though they were sticking it to Eric/Sookie fans a little bit. Thats just my opinion. I do understand that they need to slowly build the Eric/Sookie relationship. Actually, Eric was in more of season two than he was in the books. That was a plus. I think it’s a good thing that Eric came off more ruthless in the beginning because he is 1,000 year old viking/vamp.

~ Caitlin October 31, 2010 at 3:25 pm

Hi everyone,

Seasons two and three were a lot different from the books so I’m sure this next season will be no different. I’ll probably be disappointed in some things so I’m going to try not to get my hopes up with the storyline. I think some things will be better than the books though. Some people are speculating that Sookie might even be the one to get amnesia. If that is the case, I don’t see how she and Eric will get together. I’m all for them changing things but I think there is nothing wrong with leaving some things the same. I just hope they don’t try to cram as many storylines into the show in season four. Then some of the main characters get put on the back burner. This season Jessica could have been used more. It would be nice if Arlenes “little teaccup humans” make an appearance next season. Their so funny. Actually, I think Eric has more respect for children than adult humans because their more honest and less corrupted.

Have a happy Halloween!

jaxx October 31, 2010 at 1:42 pm

I’m with you Loleaf (waves hi) and Rose. I love my viking and want to see what I’ve read, but AB has a way of bursting my bubble sometimes. lol. 🙂

Loleaf October 31, 2010 at 1:11 am

Hey Rose we know what you mean, and I agree wholeheartly!! **wink wink**. I just don’t know if AB will go the direction us Eric lovers hope, for a while at least **stomping feet like a toddler not getting her way** lol!! I sooo hope that I’m wrong… want to see this season follow the book with the Sookie/Eric storyline so badly.
Book four was centered around the Sookie/Eric dianamic, unless AB completely changes the whole storyline, but if he does that where would that leave him for the upcoming seasons!!

Loleaf October 31, 2010 at 12:16 am

Hey all how’s it going!! I also hope that AB and staff delve deeper into the backstories of Eric/Pam as well as Eric/Bill.. But it may take a while since there are so many other stories taking place at one time. They are really not leaving enough time to properly explore those dianamics properly IMO. Not that I’m saying that I wouldn’t/don’t like seeing the other characters, I’d just like to explore the backstories a little more without interuptions.. I know I know shame on me Lol!! It all boils down to seeing more of our georgous Viking and southern gentleman without comercial interuptions ****wink wink****!!!

Oh and btw. Happy halloween all!!!!!! Have a safe one..

Rose October 30, 2010 at 9:23 pm

I still want to see my Viking running down the road half naked, with amnesia, in Sookies bed and her shower. There is a gracious plenty to look forward to…if you know what I mean.

~ Caitlin October 30, 2010 at 1:10 pm

Hi jaxx,

Yes, I really want to know Bill and Eric’s history. This season would be a good time to show that in a flashback. I remember those first lines Eric uttered to Bill. It sounded like there was an edge Eric’s voice when he said it. There has to be some bad blood there. I think something happened or they just never liked each other. Eric probably wondered why he was back in town because he was suspicous of Bill. Also, a Pam/Eric flashback would be nice. I thought in season 3 that they would have showed one.

~ Caitlin October 29, 2010 at 11:53 pm

I don’t think Eric intended to kill Bill. He sent someone to bring Bill to him. However, that is still kidnapping. When Eric arrived at Sookies house in the finale, he did not know that Bill sent a hit out on Pam. Eric didn’t find that out until he got back to Fangtasia and Pam told him. I’m sure he is fuming over that because Pam is his little girl. I agree that Bill and Eric need to learn how to be more civil to each other. They are vampires so that is going to happen anytime soon. Who knows maybe they actually got along better before Sookie came into the picture. Probably not though.

MsJoanne October 28, 2010 at 1:52 pm

We don’t know what became of Eric after watching his family being murdered. He may have become a different man from what we think we know of him. The TB writers will probably handle that in Flashbacks. Also, Sookie and Eric have a bond, which I’m sure will be explained in season four and may or may not be vastly different from the bond they have in the books.

jaxx October 26, 2010 at 6:18 pm

Yes, vamps heal but if a spell by a witch is put on them, I think that’s a different scenario.

sheila October 26, 2010 at 3:07 pm

Yes, he could get Amnesia. But let’s wait to see what AB comes up with. I kinda like some of the scenario’s I have seen on here and think a certian waitress may be the one with the memory issues on the first go round. Bring on S4!!!!!

AngMehigan October 26, 2010 at 2:00 am

I just really hope SO4 has Eric running through a field lost, confused and not knowing who sookie is….oh and naked of course lol.
Ahhh good times ahead I think -season 4 will be the best ever.

sheila October 26, 2010 at 12:26 am

Hi all my fellow TB fans/junkies. I agree with you Jaxx. I think that the personality was always there, but due to the Vamp stuff that Eric’s position reqires of him, He always walks a real fine line between helping Sookie, gaurding his personal feelings, as well as balance his responsibilities to the Vamps he is responsible for overall. I think that S4 will let Eric have a chance to relax for a second and show Sookie he’s got some good in him once in a great while. Although he has gone to great lengths to make it clear he is a Vampire first and will stay true to that. I think they find a new balnce in S4. JMHO

Jean October 20, 2010 at 2:49 pm

You are all lucky, I haven,t seen season 3 yet!. Still waiting for the DVD to come out. I think the series is brilliant and I hope they cover all the books so that we have true blood around for a long time!. Please don,t take so long between series, its not fair on the fans and as I am in England we have to wait even longer!!! Alan thank you for a great series.

Bladerunnernyc October 18, 2010 at 2:29 pm

Eric having amnesia goes along with the book series. The entire point is a continuation leading up to Sookie ending up with Eric. Look for Crystal to get pregnant in Season 4- marry the imbecile Jason (He becomes a were-panther btw) and eventually she ends up getting killed and Jason is back to chasing dumb women again.

Either way they have to wrap up the Sookie/Bill romance. After she found out that Bill let her be beaten to near death just to ‘save’ her, she later tells Bill that it was over for them the moment she found out.

Bill does love her, but it is over and he will find a different path of problems suddenly presented to him.

Lena Tum October 17, 2010 at 8:12 pm

I became a fan of True Blood this year. I watched Season 1 and 2 to catch up. I just got done watching Season 3. I loved it so much I bought season 1 on DVD and i’m going to be Sookie Stackhouse for Halloween. What I don’t understand is why do they make you wait soooo long to see the next season? Why won’t it come out this year, like other shows? Waiting till next summer will make me forget everything that’s happened so far. Are they only showing one episode per year?
I love it so much. I want to see more now… not next year. 🙁
So dissapointed that I have to wait that long.
True Blood is like my drug. I’m an addict and I don’t want to wait.

Sandy October 16, 2010 at 12:15 pm

Come on Lizzie – Eric is a Vampire Sheriff! So ya, he has a lot of bad-arse to him! We forget that he is a sheriff since he is so busy doing other stuff on TB.
Bill is/was a procurer for the Queen – not much better!
You know I love ’em both!
Go Team TB!!
Cheers
Sandy

lizzie1701 October 16, 2010 at 5:59 am

So, Eric has to have a “personality” change for her to like him. How sad. I don’t think amnesia brings out the ‘real’ person. The real person is who they are – bar owner, Vamp, maker, employing assassins, wheeler and dealer etc etc – that is who you are. So what happens once the amnesia goes away? Will Sookie dislike the ‘other’ Eric? Very complicated.

Nancy October 14, 2010 at 1:50 pm

These next 8 months are going to be awful! 🙁 I hope that Eric get’s amnesia and not Sookie, even though Sookie getting amnesia does sound like fun. But I believe that the only way Sookie will truly get to know the “real” Eric is by Eric getting amnesia and not having all those barriers up. I loved book 4, so I hope AB pulls some of the main plot from the book and puts the AB twist on it. But then again, I would also like to see Sookie get together with Alcide. That would be amazing. Go True Blood! Question, why can’t the season be longer than 12 weeks? 12 weeks is not enough.

loleaf October 14, 2010 at 10:34 am

Great minds think alike.. That’s what I said a couple weeks ago. We know how Alan likes to redirect from what we think to something from way out in left field.. Evil Evil little monkey he is ;).

jaxx October 14, 2010 at 10:27 am

Good possibility Isis. The twist would be Sookie having the amnesia not Eric. Maybe Claudine will make her forget all the pain she’s been through the past couple of months by giving her amnesia. That would be an interesting twist to see how she then sees everyone in her life, Bill, Eric, Alcide, Jason, Tara, Arlene, etc. I could see this happening. Good speculation. 🙂

lizzie1701 October 14, 2010 at 7:31 am

Yes. Eric would be pissed, but so would Bill if he ever found out that Eric had sent an assassin to get him whilst he was dining his girlfriend. I mean, if Eric wanted Bill, why not call? To send an assassin, so that Bill would not reveal that he was selling V, did not bode well for Bill either. Pity Bill will never get to know Eric’s intended treachery (unless Pam or Yvetta let it slip) so he could get even, but then I guess he did, with the cement thing!

Let the best Vamp win.

jaxx October 13, 2010 at 10:45 pm

I really don’t think it told us all that much more. We guessed where Sookie went, we know what Bill did, we know Eric is vengeful, we know Sookie is confused. Did we learn anything we already didn’t know???

roman October 13, 2010 at 4:15 pm

Sounds good, but it really just seems like a summary of what happened at the end season 3.
