***Yes, I’ve seen it. But that’s not a dream that says “love” She’s attracted, excited, scared..but that’s it.***

She’s known Bill for less than 24 hours at that point. Of course it’s not love. But it is like.

***She’s angry with him alot, mostly when he treats her like a child.***

In season 1 she seemed to be angry with a lot of people a lot. Not that I blame her, what with all the stuff that was going on. In season 2 she was angry with Bill in the first couple of episodes, and again, not without reason, but she’s forgiven him, and she hasn’t been angry with him since.

***That was more than curiosity. And, there’s been blood exchange, Bill KNOWS what she’s feeling. And he doesn’t like it.***

Bill doesn’t always know what she’s feeling. He doesn’t even always know when she’s scared or upset (he didn’t know she was upset about finding the voodoo woman’s body until she called to tell him, for example). It really only seems to be when she’s in real, physical danger that he picks up on her feelings.

******And how do you know she does? She readily accepts his “coercion”. Her protests are weak, and never reach her eyes.***

Well, her comments certainly imply that she doesn’t like him. And honestly, if she can forgive him that easily for what he did to Lafayette, my respect for her would take a serious nosedive. And she doesn’t readily accept his coercion, she’s a trusting person who tends to believe the best in people, and makes the mistake of taking him at his word. And that last part could just as easily be AP’s acting.

***Good point. So her wanting to save Bill & Eric are just a product of her big heart. She saved them both for the exact same reasons.***

Isn’t that what I just said?

***Whoa. Bill is manipulative and he kills or threatens at a pretty rapid clip.***

Has Bill killed or threatened anyone (in the present) who hadn’t already hurt or threatened Sookie? And what has he manipulated?

***He’s also a loose cannon. Eric had Lorena hold Bill because he’d cock up the FOTS rescue…***

Eric had Lorena hold Bill because, in his own words, “Bill has something I want, and he’s in the way.” He just told Sookie that to make Bill look bad, and because he didn’t want to admit that he was basically having Bill held prisoner against his will.

***and booom as soon as he’s free he runs into the church screaming SOOOKEH! with 0 plan.***

Of course Eric was doing so much better, what with being chained with silver and all.

***People would have died in great bloody rivers if it had been left up to Bill.***

Except for the fact that Bill didn’t kill anyone, not even that kid he caught and then showed mercy by letting him go.

***Eric is devious but a liar? Other than the “tiny falsehood” he immediately owned up to when has he lied? He’s also smart.***

Well, saying that he was dying just to get Sookie to drink his blood seems like more than a tiny falsehood to me, but it’s not so much the fact that he lied, it’s the reason for it. He’s trying to steal Sookie from Bill, and he doesn’t seem to care how underhanded he has to be to do it. And what does smart have to do with anything? Does intelligence excuse the cruel things he’s done?

***However, we’ve seen Sookie and Eric discover layers about each other and still be interested.***

Well, we know Eric is interested in Sookie, there’s no doubt about that. It’s only your belief that Sookie has a thing for him in return. Just as it’s simply my belief that Sookie had feelings for Bill right from the start. Neither one of us can know for sure. But it is fun to debate. 🙂

**They’ve had a couple of fights, and it seems like one is always brewing. Of course, this whole season covers what? A week?

***Her comments do, but I just don’t see it in her actions. And what Eric did to Lafayette? That’s vampire business. And Eric let her find him – you don’t think he’d leave Sookie in that bar with GINGER if he didn’t want Lafayette found? Yes, he knew he was a chip, but Lafayette easily could have gone the way of Royce. On top of it all, Eric did save Lafayette’s life in the end. With ulterior motive, but he did it.

***Good point. So her wanting to save Bill & Eric are just a product of her big heart. She saved them both for the exact same reasons.***

Isn’t that what I just said?

*** Yes, I was agreeing with you 🙂

Has Bill killed or threatened anyone (in the present) who hadn’t already hurt or threatened Sookie? And what has he manipulated?

***Killing people for Sookie doesn’t change the fact that he kills when HE wants to.

*** I don’t think Eric was lying. He always has more than one motive. He was right in this instance.

Of course Eric was doing so much better, what with being chained with silver and all.

****Yes, willingly chained in silver when he could have taken out everyone in that church. Remember how fast Godric could kill at Eric’s age?

Except for the fact that Bill didn’t kill anyone, not even that kid he caught and then showed mercy by letting him go.

****But he would have if he ran into that church like that before. What choice would he have had. Bill never has an endgame. He is, as Eric says, not logical when it comes to Sookie.

***Eric is devious but a liar? Other than the “tiny falsehood” he immediately owned up to when has he lied? He’s also smart.***

***He just knows how to get things done. What I love about this show, is that these people are who they are before they are turned. Eric is a Viking. His life has been straightforward and brutal for over 1000 years. Bill is a southern gentleman steeped in the kind lies of gentle life. They act like that.

But it is fun to debate.

*** It is fun to debate. I thank you – I see these things get so brutal on other boards,and I’m just not interested 🙂

People, AB has already said the triangle is going to play out in various interviews. Also at Comic Con he deliciously hints that he is going to use the betrayal in the books (as someone who has read and loves the books, this is to frustrating as there are several key plots his hint could be applied to).

Now to those of you who say Sookie has no interest in Eric, arguing is a great stimulus and is a great cover for attraction since they can cause simmilar reactions to the heart rate.

Also, does Sookie seem like the type to want to be in 2 relationships or attracted to 2 men at the same time? I think not 🙂

Shayne September 4, 2009 at 12:10 am

*** She was attracted, our poor telepathic waitress seeing her first vampire. And then she went home and dreamt about him….threatening her?***

In the dream, as soon as she spots him out the window she runs right on out to the yard to see him. She says “I didn’t think we’d be havin’ sex so soon,” which means that it was obviously on her mind. And his reply – “Who said anything about sex?” – and the implication that goes with it, obviously indicates that she’s nervous, too. He’s the first vampire she’s ever met, and everyone keeps telling her how all he wants to do is drink her blood, so of course that would be on her mind.

***And I LOVE the back and forth when she says that about cancer. Sparks are flying between them in that scene. Pure heat. Every exchange they have is like that. There’s an equality about them that her exchanges with Bill seriously lack.***

Maybe her exchanges with Bill don’t have the same spark because most of the time she’s not angry with him.

****** Go back and watch the very first scenes at Fangtasia. Even Bill notices.***

Of course she notices Eric. How could anyone but a blind person miss him, since he’s sitting on a throne? And considering Bill’s feelings about Eric, is it any surprise that he would immediately assume that Sookie was interested in Eric for reasons other than simple curiosity?

****** FOTS scenes as one example. All the way out of the church, and the way she and looks at him…and stares at the space he was standing in after the whole confrontation goes down and he asks if she’s okay even though Bill is right there. She STARES at that spot until Jason steps in.***

Okay, I’d forgotten about those. But I’m pretty sure those are the only ones where it’s just the two of them. I’m not sure why it would be odd that he would ask if she’s okay when Bill is there, nor am I sure what her staring at the spot he was standing in is supposed to mean. He did offer himself in place of Godric, and by extension, her as well, which would probably have her thinking of him in a slightly different light. But he sort of lumped Sookie in with Godric – I doubt he would have offered himself for Sookie alone.

*****When you add it all up you think she would. But she doesn’t. She always finds a way back into his sphere.***

How do you know she doesn’t? She never uses the word ‘hate’ specifically, but the things she does say (“I could just kill him”) would seem to indicate that she certainly has no honestly good feelings for him. And I hardly think being coerced into helping him is ‘finding her way back into his sphere’. She makes it clear to Bill in 1.08 that she doesn’t want to be anywhere near Fangtasia, and he says that they should do what Eric asks as long as he doesn’t ask for too much. In 2.03, Bill takes her to Fangtasia to save her life – she has no choice in the matter.

***It also didn’t take her all that long to want to save Eric’s life.***

She was tricked into sucking those bullets out, plain and simple. That’s not ‘wanting to save his life’. Or, if you’re talking about getting the silver off him while he was on the alter, of course she wouldn’t leave him there to die – in her eyes he’s a ‘living’ being, and she has a kind, generous heart. She’d known Bill for all of five minutes when she ran out into the parking lot to save him from the Rattrays – that was far more dangerous for her than pulling the silver off Eric, since she had no backup, but she did it anyway, because, to paraphrase what she said to Bud later, no matter how you feel about vampires you can’t just let people go around killing them. Saving Eric was the right thing to do, and for Sookie it wouldn’t take any other reason than that.

***As vampires both Bill & Eric are incredibly manipulative. Bill’s capacity for death and mayhem is (at least on screen) equal to or bigger than Eric’s. Eric’s capacity for deviousness is higher for sure, but he’s never caught short. Bill is full of secrets, but the good guy. Eric is right up front even when he’s being bad.***

I don’t understand how you can say Bill is manipulative. He loves Sookie and does everything in his power to protect her. Yes, he’s killed people, but you have to look at the reason for killing, as well as the action. He killed the Rats after they’d nearly killed him, and were in the process of killing Sookie. They deserved it. He killed Uncle Bartlett because he couldn’t stand that he’d hurt Sookie. And he ‘killed’ Jessica because he was given no choice. And he’s a very different man now than he was when he and Lorena killed those people together – he’s only a teenager in vampire terms, but he’s already changed and started trying to repent. Eric is five times older than Bill, but he’s still selfish, manipulative, and a jerk. And being up front about being bad is not a good trait in a person. All it means is that Eric doesn’t feel a need to lie, because he’s not afraid of getting caught for what he’s done. He’s devious and deceitful, and is trying to steal Bill’s love away from him simply because he wants her, not because he actually has any love for her himself.

***When it comes to Sookie they both bring it out in her in different ways. She wants the perfect love story that she’s created with Bill, but she also never backs down from the challenge of Eric.***

She doesn’t back down from Eric because she’s not afraid of Eric. She does have a certain amount of power, knowing, as she does, that he wants to use her telepathy for his own ends. That means he has to take a certain amount of abuse that he wouldn’t put up with from anyone else.

***And now, with Eric’s blood exchange, they’re on equal ground.***

How are they on equal ground? Bill loves Sookie and Sookie loves Bill. Eric wants to use Sookie’s abilities, drink her blood, and have sex with her, and Sookie thinks Eric is a “lying a-hole”, and her only affectionate feelings for him are a product of his deceit and trickery.

***And we don’t know Bill’s whole story yet. There are certainly screamingly loud clues that we don’t have it all and that maybe it’s NOT quite as sweet as you’d think.***

Or, AB is setting up the audience – most of whom have read the books – to think he’s going to go there with Bill and the queen, because he knows it’s expected, and then give us a much simpler explanation. (He has made Bill look guilty before – in the first season finale he made it look as if Bill fed on Lafayette, which was obviously not the case.) According to the casting call for Sophie-Ann he’s already changed a good deal about her character, and judging by the little we saw of Hadley, her character is different from the books, too. When CH introduced Bill’s secret, it seemed believable, because in the books Bill never seemed all that invested in his relationship with Sookie. But Bill on the show is totally different from Bill in the books in almost every single way. He’s clearly invested in his relationship with Sookie, he’s clearly in a man in love. For AB to change so many things about Bill in order to make him a much more likable character – to create Bill as his own vision, in other words – only to stick with CH’s vision about this one thing just doesn’t make any sense.

*****When you add it all up you think she would. But she doesn’t. She always finds a way back into his sphere.***

How do you know she doesn’t? She never uses the word ‘hate’ specifically, but the things she does say (”I could just kill him”) would seem to indicate that she certainly has no honestly good feelings for him.

What does Sookie *really* know about Bill?

Eric is devious but a liar? Other than the “tiny falsehood” he immediately owned up to when has he lied? He’s also smart.

That’s the whole point of their characters. They are essentially who they were before they died, and their ages fill out the profile.

**He wants more than her telepathy, and it’s obvious. He likes her and she likes him. Sparks.

***And now, with Eric’s blood exchange, they’re on equal ground.***

***We know Bill “loves” SOokie, but we don’t know if Sookie would love Bill without the blood. 24 hours of attraction. That’s it.

However, we’ve seen Sookie and Eric discover layers about each other and still be interested.

***And we don’t know Bill’s whole story yet. There are certainly screamingly loud clues that we don’t have it all and that maybe it’s NOT quite as sweet as you’d think.***

***Maybe. I try not to think about the books, and I don’t remember a lot of the details. I like that I don’t know where this is going. But they’ve been laying this down since S1, so it’s going SOMEWHERE. We don’t know anything, really.

I actually like the depth and differences Ball has brought to the characters. The show is so much better for it.

Finally, I think no matter what, you’re going to see a triangle. It’s hot, it’s interesting — and lets face it – Skarsgard is the hottest ticket in town. Ball isn’t going to drop it. NO way.

cgpunker September 4, 2009 at 7:28 am

Even though I hate when people reply to themselves, I’m going to do it anyway just to clarify lol

My comment about Skarsgard in no way was a slam against Moyer. I love Stephen Moyer – I think he’s fantastic. Just wanted to say that before anyone misinterpreted!

BLF September 4, 2009 at 10:08 am

Dont worry 🙂 Its not like the Forrum where you are able to edit your responses.

I have to agree, Steven is great! But whomever is handling AS’ publicity deserves a raise! He is not being over exposed but letting the fans do the talking. We truely are the powerbase here

This whole cast is amazing and the fact that you have so many talented ppl in one place blows my mind constantly. To be corny “the stars were aligned” when this core group was hired and we are seeing magic on the screen. It has been a while since i felt this way about a show.

Shayne September 3, 2009 at 8:35 pm

***Sookie was attracted to Bill – intrigued mostly by the silence – in the less than 24 hours she knew him before the blood exchange. Everything after – the dreams, the intense “True love” – could all be blood related.***

Sure, Sookie was intrigued by the silence, but she didn’t find out she couldn’t read his mind until after she’d saved his life. Their first interaction in Merlotte’s happened before that, and it was clear that they had a spark right from the word go. As opposed to Eric, who she actively loathes (“I’d prefer cancer,” is a pretty definitive comment on how she feels about Eric, I’d say). Also, she dreamed about Bill the first night they met, after she’d saved his life but before he’d saved hers, which means that she was dreaming about him *before* she drank his blood.

***And I also think the show has been pretty clear that Sookie has been at least a little attracted to Eric all along***

I would completely disagree with this statement. What evidence is there to support the idea that she was attracted to Eric before she drank his blood?

***- ever notice how she only gets all up in his face when Bill’s around?***

Aside from the scene where she was sucking the bullets out of Eric’s chest, have there been any scenes between Sookie and Eric when Bill wasn’t around? (Dream scenes don’t count, for obvious reasons.)

***I’m not saying she was pining, but she didn’t hate him lol – not at all.***

She probably didn’t hate him in the beginning, even though he nearly got her killed by Longshadow and then stood there and did absolutely nothing about it. Then he screwed Bill over, by forcing him into that situation with the tribunal when he didn’t have to. Then he kidnapped and tortured Lafayette. After that, although Sookie doesn’t know it yet, he’s the entire reason for Lorena being there and nearly killing her. And then he tricked her into drinking his blood when it is made exceedingly clear that she didn’t want to, and wouldn’t have if she didn’t think that he was going to die right on the spot (“I can’t. It’s so gross. And it’s you”). When you add all that up, I think that’s more than enough reason for her to hate him.

I can’t WAIT for season 3. Why oh why is it so far away?

erin marie September 3, 2009 at 5:38 pm

I am just going to assume HBO hired Evan Rachel Wood without her having to read for the part. She was terrible. She reminded me of a neighbor I had who was a meth addict. Truely disappointed in the choice for Queen Sophie Anne.

Isis_Nocturne September 3, 2009 at 6:18 pm

Has it even occurred to you that maybe the queen is playing so that she gets a different reaction from people who come to see her? I have friends who act like that – totally immature and snooty when they meet new people to see how they react to them, rather than acting like themselves. People react differently to different people, and how they react says a lot about them. Plenty of actors do it as research for the roles they get on tv shows and movies.

BLF September 3, 2009 at 9:10 pm

Isis, well said.

If we took the scenes at face value, we all had the what the hell were they thinking? Then I realized, when has this show ever really given anything at face value and my reaction became WTF is going to happen now…

this Finale is going to be a heartbreaker for us because we will need to wait till next summer to see these characters come alive (ok… ackward word choice when aplied to a show with vamp characters). Again, thank goodness for DVDs.

EAS September 2, 2009 at 4:44 pm

Oh okay fewww I was worried for a second that she was dead or something. I am so excited for the last episode!!!

Ashley September 1, 2009 at 11:18 am

This what I believe… Sookie is a Ferry and she doesnt know it yet until season 3 that why she did that to Maryanne.. she might have inhereated that power from one of her family members. The queen is like Sookie is the sence that she can read vampires minds and her n sookie have some kind of connection.

BLF September 1, 2009 at 1:15 pm

Actually Sookie doesnt find out about the fairy blood until book 6 Definately Dead. So i am not sure if they are going to address it in Season 3

Side note… do we have any idea when Season 2 is being released to DVD?

EAS September 1, 2009 at 4:55 pm

Sookie is part fairy??? what??? I have not read the books but I am obssesed with with this show. And what do you mean definantly dead?

BLF September 1, 2009 at 5:51 pm

EAS, sorry for confussion!!!! Definatly Dead is the name of Book 6 and should not fully be a part of the tv story line for a while. Just forget everything else i posted until then 🙂

BLF August 31, 2009 at 11:30 am

This ep is going to be the death of me. I have to many unanswered questions from last night and the preview for 9/13 worries me. We will definatly not be bored wating for season 3 because we will have plenty to talk about with season 2.

Theresa August 31, 2009 at 10:16 am

Your right Val, AB is surely swaying from the book and yess Eric character is cruel, but he has that softness (in my eyes anyway) when it comes to Sookie. As far as mentioning Bill’s perfidy, I think a bit of it was led to when the queen said to Bill “I am looking forward to meeting Sookie.” Bill gives her quite a nervous look I thought.
Any way I agree on MaryAnn, hoping the finale is the last we see of her. I also agree on the long long wait for Season 3. It will be the death of me I swear. I do not watch much TV, so my set will have a very long wait before it is turned on for True Blood. I will fill in with other Vamp stories and True Blood reruns. I have Season 1 on DVD, and I will no doubt pickup season 2 once it is released.

Isis_Nocturne September 3, 2009 at 6:16 pm

The queen may have NOTHING to do with Bill and Sookie being together in the show. Remember, Sookie’s cousin Hadley was just introduced as part of the queen’s court… I’m sure Hadley has probably said things to Sophie-Anne about her family… Sookie included.

Theresa August 31, 2009 at 9:34 am

I was hoping for a little bit more action in Frenzy. However, I love the way Lafayette sees Eric whenever he is tramatized. This just cracks me up. Dream scenes for Sookie are always sexual, and for Lafayette they are torturous – love it. I thought what the heck is Sookie doing laying on the floor with Mike. I really did not see much in that. She should have hit him over the head with the pan to begin with. The queen dragging out telling Bill what he needed to know regarding MaryAnn was kind of lame I thought. Playing yathzee! Give me a break. Anyway I think Sam’s ally will be Bill, and I think our cliff hanger might be leaving us to think Sam is dead. I have not quite figuered out why Eric is having Lafayetee sell V, except to hurt the people he is selling to. If that is why he is doing it, I would think he would not be all up in arms with Bill telling the queen if he does not stay away from Sookie. Loved the scene between the 2 of them, Bill leaving the queen and Eric coming to see her. Bill suggesting Eric wants to look like a hero in front of Sookie, I don’t understand why he just could not have said Sam came to him. Sophie is not all that much older than Eric, he should have the knowledge on maenads. I guess this is all just keeping the saga going. Loved Eric spelling out that Bill pretty much did the same thing he did by giving Sookie blood that night the Rattrells beat her up. Sookie began dreaming of Bill almost right away (sexually). He’s just as underhanded as Eric is because his agenda for Sookie was delivered to him by the queen. At least Eric is up front and not hiding something. All the hype about Sookie on the vampire side started with her cousin Hadley. She was the one who bragged about Sookie’s telepathy which got the queen to thinking Hey I could use that talent. Bill was sent by the queen to seduce Sookie for her use. So if it weren’t for her Bill would never had gone to Bon Temp. Eric was already in Shreveport and I think eventually they would have met up. Anyway on an end note, what the heck was with the Egg (or whatever it was). That has me wondering WTF.

Val August 31, 2009 at 9:53 am

Well I think you gave a good synopsis of the books Theresa-but the show is certainly departing from them again!AB is only using the parts that work in his already created world and I am beginning to wonder if he will even mention Bill’s perfidy. Eric’s character seems crueler and more selfish than the books but maybe that will change in the last episode and Season 3!
I hope Mayanne will be dispatched in the last episode so poor Lafayette can be free of her- at least! The worst part will be the long,long wait TILL Season3-yikes!!

Isis_Nocturne September 3, 2009 at 6:14 pm

Theresa, you have to remember that Sookie was attracted to Bill BEFORE the blood exchange! Such is NOT the case for Sookie and Eric.

cgpunker September 3, 2009 at 7:24 pm

Sookie was attracted to Bill – intrigued mostly by the silence – in the less than 24 hours she knew him before the blood exchange. Everything after – the dreams, the intense “True love” – could all be blood related.

And I also think the show has been pretty clear that Sookie has been at least a little attracted to Eric all along – ever notice how she only gets all up in his face when Bill’s around? I’m not saying she was pining, but she didn’t hate him lol – not at all.

There’s no cut and dried here – and no clear path. Well done Alan Ball.

Isis_Nocturne September 3, 2009 at 8:09 pm

I dunno, I just don’t see any chemistry between Eric and Sookie, and the romantic in me believes in love at first sight, especially between Bill and Sookie…

cgpunker September 3, 2009 at 8:29 pm

Oddly, I feel the same way – but about opposite couples.

For me, Sookie & Bill = No heat. This season I can’t even watch their scenes. But I look at that scene where Sookie slaps Eric and it’s like she’s going to explode right there (in a good way. The parry and thrust is amazing.)

The romantic in me loves that Sookie & Eric might find something real. The believer and the non believer. The one who knows too much about life and the one who barely knew anything until recently. The crazy waitress and the one who accepts all of her

That’s why I say well done Alan Ball. It’s not easy to write a compelling triangle.

After watching frenzy

“Sam places his trust, and his life, in a most unlikely ally.”

I’m 99% positive it’s Bill.. I think Sam & Bill devise a plan to hand over Sam & try to defeat her… meanwhile everyone else probably thinks Bill betrayed Sam.

So after watching frenzy.. what are our predictions for season finale? Why the Queen is telling Eric to keep Bill quiet?

Is it true that the season 3 will start in 2010? that long? no way. many fans would probably dissapoint. this is too long for us. I love to see more of eric and sookie affair. i hope allan ball make a way to compare Eric to Bill. I haven’t read the book yet. don’t want to spoil the story. anyway according to fans online, allan is not really following the book. so im looking forward for more eric in the scene. Fans of Bill don’t get mad, i like him too. its just eric is too irresistible. Eric is like the Mc-Steamy and Bill Mc-Dreamy. 🙂

Jenny I agree, I would love to see more of Sookie and Eric.

The whole “Sophie-Ann orders Eric to keep a lid on Bill’s inquisitiveness” leads me to believe that Alan Ball won’t be following the storyline in the books (He only follows the books about 50% of the time, anyway). I’d be willing to bet this has something to do with Sookie’s “talk to the hand” moment with Maryann in the most recent episode. Bill probably mentions it/asks if Sophie-Ann knows what would cause it while he’s there asking for advice on how to deal with Maryann, and because of her hidden agenda, she gets Eric to make him back off. The reason I believe Alan Ball is not going to follow the books is because, if he was following them, Sophie-Ann wouldn’t need to go through Eric to get Bill to back off. If he was a part of her agenda, she’d just be able to tell him directly. Not to mention, if he was in on it, he’d likely already have some idea about Sookie’s deal, and wouldn’t have to ask.

I guess it is Eric. Oh well, we will just have to wait!

Alicia August 24, 2009 at 9:30 pm

I wonder if Eric needs to keep a lid on Bill’s inquistiveness has something to do with Sookies cousin Hadley?

Elisa August 24, 2009 at 3:15 pm

“Sam places his trust, and his life, in a most unlikely ally.”

Maybe they will introduce the Weres?

cgpunker August 24, 2009 at 3:34 pm

Ooh. Could be. After the preview for next week with Sam going to Eric for help, I guess I just thought he was relying on the Vampires….

Michelle August 24, 2009 at 8:55 pm

NO I think it Eric who he turns too. But I see where they are going and how they are making match the books storyline. I love it. I have readed each book twice. My husband gets mad because he doesn’t want me to spoil it for him lol It is so hard not to talk about it.

BLF August 24, 2009 at 3:12 pm

They are so evil to do this to us!!!! Cant wait to see it!

natasha874 August 24, 2009 at 3:09 pm

This makes me go hummmmmmmm……

cgpunker August 24, 2009 at 3:05 pm

“Sophie-Anne warns Eric to keep the lid on Bill’s inquisitiveness”

Maybe it has to do with Eric dealing V? Now Bill knows – and he wouldn’t have found out if they weren’t using it.

Matty August 24, 2009 at 5:02 pm

I don’t think so because Eric is dealing the V to find out which are the humans buying it …

Also I think this spoiler has to do with the real reason Bill first came to Bon Temps and befriended Sookie, if Alan Ball follows that storyline on the books …

cgpunker August 24, 2009 at 7:22 pm

Or maybe the queen can answer the “what is Sookie” question!

Lisa August 24, 2009 at 11:22 pm

I am thinking that maybe Alan might change the storyline from the books and make Eric be the one that will seduce Sookie and Bill might be trying to find out. I really hope that will not be the case.

Loleaf August 27, 2009 at 10:22 pm

Lisa. I don’t think that is the case either! Because if you remember Bill told Eric that Sookie needed to be protected. Eric replied that it sounded like an edict(an order), but that it couldn’t be because he would know about it. Then Bill to her that is anything should happen to her in his absence…he would be without her useful skills!! I just believe that is Sophie-Anne’s way of covering her bases with Eric. Also, Bill is a follow orders type of person, now he is thinking for himself and she doesn’t like it. But that is just my opinion.
