I thought it was good. Not my favorite, not my least favorite. I actually cheered when Maryann was FINALLY killed off…I really hope (yet doubt) we have seen the last of her. I am also interested to know what happened to Bill.

Charlaine looked great, I wonder if we’ll see more of her in Bon Temps.

TR September 15, 2009 at 10:41 am

I think most of season 2 was a huge disappontment.
The Maryann storyline got very old and tedious and
I felt as if each episode was more of the same from the previous week.
I hope that season 3 turns out better. However I did enjoy the
Eric and church story but Maryann and her obnoxious posession over the town
Were too over the top.

JANE September 15, 2009 at 10:33 am

i loved the finale ! goodbye maryann, finally. and bill is the one who thought of the plan, and convinced sam to help. great that they worked together. the romantic night bill arranged for sookie was wonderful. bill is classy, graceful, and beautiful ! his broken hearted look, after sookie didn’t say yes, was wrenching. true blood is my one true addiction. it is the most original, exciting, and fun show i’ve seen. and i am a real bill fan. i’ve read all the books. and he’s different in the show, but i love him in both. the whole cast is just perfect, and a joy to watch !

This show is just great tv!! The season finale was Incredible!
Alan Ball and the writers and producers really have a winner here! I thought the Sopranos was a hot property but this buries it! Now, I find myself thinking of TB a lot!! I thought that Twilight was ultra cool~~part of it is~~ But now everything else just leaves me Cold!! I find that TB has become “my own personal brand of heroin” to borrow from Edward Cullen. I crave more and more! The show is just awesome!! Is there any treatment for TB
addiction? Would we Want one?? LOL 1 last thing in June of next year True Blood will face off against Twilight Eclipse (my fave TL book BTW) AS far as im concerned again TB Wins hands Down!! Thanks to everyone involved for a great season! This website is Awesome!! it feeds my TB fix!! Wonder when season 2 will be on dvd??

micaela September 15, 2009 at 1:42 am

the finale scene with the dancing, the romantic atmosphere and the proposal was just so perfect! I love Bill Compton character and I’m reading the books therefore I know in the book he is different but I still like him very much!And Sookie should have said YES without thinking about it!then Anna and Stephen are awesome actors!I already miss the show…

Nia September 15, 2009 at 12:33 pm

I so agree micaela!!!!!

Abby September 15, 2009 at 12:36 am

I really enjoyed the finale. I was happy it tied up some ofthe stories. Maryanne is GONE! (Michelle was a great actress but the storyline was getting old)

Seeing Sam this season justs solidifies my belief he is one of the good guys through and through.

My heart was torn over Eggs’ devastation and desperation.

The real gutrenching, smash my heart moment, Sookie not getting back in time to tell Bill yes. I loved the dancing, the proposal. Bill has shown his true love for Sookie over and over and Sookie has returned his love. Obviously I am a HUGE fan of Bill and Sookie. I do not believe (this is strictly the show) Bill ever intended to tie Sookie to him with his blood, he did so when she was dying. I believe when Sookie saw Bill and Bill saw Sookie you could see the sparks fly and it began their love and interest in eachother quickly. Bill, well I guess I wish I had a man who loves me and is devoted to me and respects me as Bill does for Sookie.

Eric seems to be under the queen’s thumb. Her interaction with Eric to me seemed to imply Bill was not as involved with the queen as Eric is…I look forward to seeing how this plays out. My favorite part is when Eric rolls the dice and the queen says “you suck at this” 😉

I love Evan Rachelle Wood as the queen, she is doing a very good job and I look forward to seeing what she does next season, even if it is just for a few episodes.

One of my most favorite moments, it rates up there with the dancing and proposal scenes, Bill holding Sookie. It melted my heart.

I am so in love with this show, its my escape from my life and I have found myself completely entertwined with the characters. Especially Bill and Sookie. I can’t get over how devastated I am over not seeing Bill’s joy when Sookie said yes.

The show implicates several suspects for the kidnapping of Bill. Eric told the queen he would take care of Bill personally, so he’s one. Lorena’s vieled threat when she last spoke to Bill after Bill told her she was dead to him, and she said “I wish you hadn’t said that” it just screamed threat to me. So did Eric do it? Lorena? or are we to be taken by surpise and blindsided by the real culprit.

Wasn’t it a sweet moment between Jessica and Bill…ruined a bit by Jessica becoming a “man eater.” Poor Hoyt too.

Season three shall be interesting, werewolves, Debbie Pelt, Mississippi King, Bill being held, Eric, Sookie’s search. Sam’s searching for his biological parents….so much and sooooo long to wait…ARGH

Thank you to all who created this site, keep it up by providing news, pictures, the ever loved Spoilers, and the opportunity to speak with others who share your love, devotion, and passion with True Blood! My most sincere gratitude.

Lizzie 1701 September 15, 2009 at 1:44 am

To Abby – Totally agree with all your comments! I love this show and I love the Bill and Sookie romance! I wish it could happen to me – I do want me a BILL!! I am also sad that Bill d id not hear Sookie’s YES. It would have made his abduction a bit more bearable knowing Sookie said yes. Now, he will be tormented (yet again!) by being abducted and not know Sookie’s answer. He will certainly feel alone! Poor Bill!

I have printed a copy of the dance scene for me to look at to get me through this TB drought!

antonio September 14, 2009 at 11:34 pm

No 1 hardly mentions Sam Merlotte. He is 1 of my favorite characters. Maryann was just a big bully..picking on Sam and then Sookie. Both Sam and Sookie have special gifts plus they are compassionate,trusting and loyal. I like Bill too he can be a hot head at times but he cares for Sookie and he wanted to help Sam and Sookie destroy Maryann. I feel that Sam and Sookie would be a good match. Sam has more heart and good natured Eric is a cruel sadistic bad-ass…Why would Any1 choose Eric over Sam?? Sam , Lafayette Terry even Jason are likable. Eric is cool but not very likable. At least Bill has a semi-human side.
I’d probably be team Sam even though Bill kicks butt!
Both Sam and Sookie risked their own lives to help nix Maryann.
I’m glad Bill got involved it seemed Eric didnt give a shit!

Constance September 15, 2009 at 1:50 am

Eric can only do what is written in the script…in the books (which this definately is not) it is actually Eric who Sookie asks to accompany her to the sex orgy involving the maenad (Maryann) and it is Eric that saves the day, not Bill….though things weren’t to the extreme they were in the show. The maenad was more of just a mischief maker and lustful for the sex thing in life and chaos. So Eric “sitting on his ass” not caring is just a wee bit different than the books.

Bill and Sam get to be the heroes only because that is the way Alan Ball is writing his screen version of the books. If he followed the books exactly, it wouldn’t be a surprise at all…though I wish he’d follow it more to some degree..ie Eric..

All we get is “GOOD” Bill and “EVIL” Eric…but, I’m still holding out faith that Eric will be redeemed in the coming seasons…because Eric actually helps Sookie find Bill, and actually saves her life…again…as he does on numerous occasions. Eric and Sookie go through more together in the books, than she and Bill ever did…the only thing Bill has on Eric is he was Sookies’ first…as $I said, this is AB’s version and I am enjoying (most of) it. All the actors are wonderful and have done a great job of bringing their characters to life.

Bring on season 3…and hurry! 🙂

Jaxx September 15, 2009 at 8:04 pm

I couldn’t agree with you more. 🙂

Jaxx September 15, 2009 at 8:03 pm

Antonio, if you read the Ausiello post mortum interview with Alan Ball, he says there is a reason Eric was not present to help out Bill, Sookie, Sam, etc. and it will be revealed in Season 3. If Eric is portrayed correctly, you WILL start to see what all of us Eric lovers are talking about.

I do also love Sam. I would also be happy is Sookie ends up with him.

antonio September 14, 2009 at 11:19 pm

I thought the finale was Awesome! I enjoyed it immensely! It keep me riveted to my seat! I certainly was in No Way disappointed..but then i am a latecomer as just started watching in the early going of season 2. I have not read the books.
It looked like someone or a couple of people were gonna get it!
It looked to me like they were gonna get Sam and Sookie (Maryann seemed to be obsessed with her because she could not control her) I’m glad Bill was involved he helped Sookie and Sam. As for Eric he acted as if he couldnt care less What happened in town!
He feels something and who knows what that is…and yet he was willing to stand idly by and let her be killed by Maryann?
I dont call That love. Well I soppose queen sophie-ann will take up the slack as the bitch now that Maryann is gone Thank Goodness she is! As for all of you who are all for Eric Newsflash!! If it werent for BILL Sookie and Sam would have been killed!!!Bill let Sam drink his blood so he could help destroy Maryann by shifting into her sick delusion. Bill Sam and Sookie helped bring her down!! Eric was NOT involved Dont exert yourself Mr.Northman!!!

cgpunker September 15, 2009 at 6:37 am

Curious Antonio – Did you feel the same way about Bill when *he* was being detained by the Queen? Or just Eric?

Nia September 15, 2009 at 9:07 am

But Bill was constantly asking to leave to go help Sookie!!!!!He was going to take off even without the queens permission and information on how to defeat the maenad. How quickly we forget.
Wasn’t it Eric who said “I do not love Humans”. If he does care for Sookie, why does he not grow a pair of balls and tell the queen that he wants her??? And when Sookie was screaming and in trouble, why did not Eric insist he go to her rescue??? He can fly! Nice to see Eric subserviant for a change. Now he knows how
Bill feels!
I hate doing this. But when I see such sad and pathetic posts about these great characters, I can’t help myself but respond. I love Bill and Eric. They are both teriffic characters and have their respective roles to play on the show. One is good, the other bad. Ying and Yang. That is drama. There is so much yet to come. Eric may still prevail, and win Sookie for a while. The triangle is inevitable. Just let the show play out and enjoy it. I can’t imagine a world anymore without True Blood!!!!

cgpunker September 15, 2009 at 9:19 am

Both Bill & Eric are under the Queens control in her presence. Bill spent plenty of time just sitting around – you just saw more screen time.

THIS is the problem with the writing on the show right now –
“One is good, the other bad. Ying and Yang.”

Neither is all good. Neither is all bad. They are just different people with different approaches – Eric’s a killer. So is Bill. Bill has some humanity left – so does Eric. Simplifying them to good v. evil is bad writing or bad interpretation.

Nia September 15, 2009 at 11:23 am

Unfortunarely and as much as I do not agree, things sometimes need to be simplified for those who may not get it.
The fact that Bill is trying to be “good” and regain his humanity and has a dark side is what makes his character so deep. Calling him names like a charicature or shmoopy is just isn’t right. This is the negativity I have been talking about. Many times it becomes a reflection onthe actors themselves.Can we not discuss the story and characters without the name calling.
Eric is a terrific character and has layers as well. He has just been bad for a much longer time than Bill. I loved the episode with Godric and seeing the vulnerable and loving side of Eric. Too bad it didn’t seem to last. With hopefully at least 5 seasons left who knows how it will play out.
I am giving True Blood the chance it deserves. I just wish those that say have said they will not watch anymore because it does not conform to the books, will do the same. It has only been 2 seasons. In the books, and I dislike bringing up the books because this is the show, Bill is prominant. Who knows what next season will bring. I am a true fan and will enjoy the show no matter what Alan Ball does. I wish all fans could say the same.

Jaxx September 15, 2009 at 1:08 pm

cp, I agree with you. That’s what I said earlier, good v. bad. Remember Bill was married before, Eric was not. Being a viking and being at war all the time, I don’t think he really had time for a wife and kids. Remember, he said he really doesn’t know what love is, when Sookie said he loved Godric. He’s not sure himself why he feels what he does for Sookie or how to handle it. That’s why I think he says he doesn’t love humans. He’s learning himself what love is. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t feel anything for her, just not sure what that is right now.

Jaxx September 14, 2009 at 11:09 pm

Did anyone else feel they were watching Anna and Stephen’s life and engagement as opposed to Bill and Sookie???

I was glad Maryanne was finally destroyed. About time.

I liked Sam finding his real family in Season 3. I think the Jessica story will get interesting. Poor tortured Jason, more adventures for him next year. We will meet Alcide, Hot Shotters, and my favorite nasty girl, Debbie. Also, more weres and vamps in Mississippi. Tara will be another tortured sole.

Anyone could have taken Bill–Eric, Lorena, a were hired by Eric or even Sophie Ann, staff at the restaurant. They had thick gloves on so I’m guessing it’s either a were or vamp since neither of them can touch silver. Maybe Eric called in a favor from the were community??? Hmmm, we’ll just have to see.

I, for one, want the Eric/Sookie relationship to start to unfold and Bill’s secrets coming out in the open. Hopefully AB will go that route.

cgpunker September 15, 2009 at 6:48 am

Jaxx, I did feel like the engagement was about Stephen & Anna and not Bill & Sookie. I hope they don’t ruin this.

Nia September 15, 2009 at 8:34 am

Alan Ball would not play out Anna’s and Stephens real life on screen. That is delusional. There are those who are just looking for an excuse for the show not going exactly where you want it to go. Alan is way to experienced and a professional to allow that to influence his decisions in any way. Alan saw the chemistry between those two from the beginning and is playing that angle. This story is probably completely written out to 7 seasons already.
We all have our favorites, and unfortunately the book lovers will always be at odds with the show any time it diverts from the books. The thing is, how exactly should the show follow the books? Where do you draw the line? There will always be those who will whine and complain when they do not get their way. Can’t we just enjoy the show and not constantly compare it to the books? I read all the books a year ago and I love the changes Alann has made. I salute him for making this show his own. Even the actors agree (this was said by Alex S.) that the show should be different.
I for one am so grateful to Alan Ball and HBO for taking on this project. Without them it may never have been brought to life.
Be thankful we have this show at all and please stop all the negativity!!!

micaela September 15, 2009 at 9:19 am

I’m with u Nia, I love Bill character because he’s multilayered, a full portrait of a vampire that once was a human and that has found his “human miracle”, Sookie, who awakened feelings he didn’t remember to have! Eric is funny but far more simple and as a bad boy quite predictable. real villans are different! All actors are great however in playing their characters!

Brittany September 15, 2009 at 1:09 pm

This is where I have to say that AB has missed his mark, because we should have at least started to see that Eric isn’t that simple. I love that AB makes Bill more made him more lovable and has given him more range, but it seems to be at the cost of Eric’s depth. AB still has time. It sounds by the way he talks in his interviews that he’s just pushing Eric’s development back until a later date. Can’t wait. If they push his character in the direction CH has set up for us, it will be worth the wait to see.

Nia September 15, 2009 at 2:38 pm

Hi Brittany, I really think there will be so much more developement to Erics character, just be patient. I know that is easier said than done. We started to see that with the Godric story. But it will take time. We know Eric as an authority figure, an old vampire who is used to getting his way, and a bit of a player and bad boy. But that is what makes his character so much fun. I would hate to see him lose that. But there is more to him than meets the eye (and he meets the eye well!). I do not see him turning into a “Bill”. The Bill who wants to be human again and try to live a normal life. That would just take away from Erics charm and just wouldn’t fit him. I do see him changing somewhat because of his desire for Sookie. Where exactly this will all go I have no idea but it will be fun to watch. This is just an opinion of someone who loves this show and all the characters and actors involved.
Waiting for season 3 will be H, E, double hockey sticks!!!!!

cgpunker September 15, 2009 at 9:23 am

Nia – I’m sorry, but your response is the most negative thing I’ve seen on this board in this discussion.

I am not delusional – but I do think that was a wink and a nod. And I’m not the only one who’s worried about their real life relationship screwing up the show. It happens. I hope it doesn’t – after all they are all pros.

How about when people like or dislike something onscreen we don’t *assume* it’s because of the books unless they say so?

I really like most of the differences between the books and the show. The diversions from the books are some of the greatest points of the show (I for one would never ever give up Jess or Lafayette!) The only thing I don’t like is the oversimplification of some great characters. Frankly, I wouldn’t like the simple versions if the books DIDN’T exist. It’s just not my preference. I like strong women and complicated characters. You may disagree. Tomato/Tomahto.

There are alot of great comments on this board on a lot of different opinions. To simply dismiss them as whining is rude.

Nia September 15, 2009 at 12:04 pm

I am sorry too cjpunker, that you thought I was being negative when I only try to right an injustice, as what happens unfortunately too often. I have this whipcord that tends to flash out and sting when I see negtivity towards Alan B. and/or the actors/characters. I will do my best to keep it in check.
Perhaps delusional was to strong. Maybe I should have said not seeing clearly. I just want harmony, but in this, perhaps I am being delusional.
So I will bury the hatchet and hopefully so will you (just not in each others heads, LOL), and we will happily agree to disagree.
I am a huge fan of True Blood and will always be so. I hope you can say the same!
Team True Blood

Jaxx September 15, 2009 at 1:03 pm

Nia, I didn’t mean Alan Ball was portraying Stephen and Ana, that would be silly. I just meant that their personal relationship and love seems to be seeping into the show, unconsciously. I’m happy for them and you can tell they are really in love and that’s great, but I just think it is inadvertently oozing into the show whether they want it to or not. I felt I was watching S/A not B/S. It’s not negativity, just an observation.

Bill being kidnapped in leading into Season 3. I know it cannot be verbatim of the books, I just want the heart of the story told. How AB portrays it, we’ll have to see. There are a lot of new characters coming in Season 3 and new situations and I just hope he can incorporate them. No matter what, I will watch. It would just be nice to see what I’ve read translate to the screen. I just don’t like the fact that Bill is mostly the hero and Eric is mostly the bad guy. Hopefully, in Season 3 and 4, things will change and we will see more and more of Eric’s good or this will become dull and monotonous. Bill and Eric both have good and bad in them. We need to see a little more of Eric’s good side and Bill’s bad side. We need to mix things up with Alcide and Eric as love interests.

pam September 14, 2009 at 11:08 pm

i was a little disappointed with the finale.it was a little boring at times.and where is vampire bill.hes to mushie and what happen to the love seanes.i think vampires would know when someone is sneaking up on them whats up with that.on the other hand sam and jason are so awsome its about time to see more of them both.i have not read the books but even though it was a little boring i love the show cant wait till season 3!!!

Nia September 15, 2009 at 8:19 am

More than likely Bill had thoughts full of Sookie and did not focus on what was sneaking up on him. Such a lover, takes my breath away!

Jaxx September 15, 2009 at 7:49 pm

I’m guessing whoever abducted him might have been in the restaurant already, maybe a were hired by Eric, Lorena posing as waitress/busboy??? Whoever it was wore heavy gloves. To me that means someone who couldn’t touch silver, like another vamp or were. hmmm, just have to wait and see.

lee September 14, 2009 at 11:04 pm

I’m a bit disappointed. I thought it was less of a cliff hanger and slightly more scattered. I mean nothing is fine in Bon Temps, the city folks are confused yet ok w/ that but isn;t the “city” still messed up? Jason shot someone-woah! And the topper on the cake, bil propses and disappears all in the same blink pretty much.
I am glad mary ann is dead and gone. I’m sorry to mention this but I have to say that knowing the possiblities of what could happen (ie book) affect my view of the show. Love them both but somethings i do want to see repeated or ultimate senerios to occur.

Jaxx September 15, 2009 at 7:46 pm

Me too, Lee, you cannot read the books and not want to see what you read. I agree 100%.

Nia September 14, 2009 at 10:43 pm

I am glad the whole Maryanne thing is over. I thought it was overdone. I understand they needed filler but…. We cannot have our favorites on the screen all the time.
I love Bill and Sam teaming up. I always believed they should become friends. At the end of season 1 Sam helped save Bill, now Bill helped save Sam. Two really great guys!
Eric selling vampire blood for the queen? What for? It doesn’t look like she needs the cash. What she needs is a good spanking. Too spoiled for my taste. What could be her motive? It was nice seeing Eric have to be subservient for a change (at least he learned how to play Yhatzee, even though he sucks). Now he knows how Bill feels. When Eric said he would personally take care of Bill, why (Eric is awesome as the Bad Boy, he plays it so well)? Why did not the queen take care of Bill herself (well she did not find out about Bill knowing about the selling of V till after he left)? What does the queen ultimately want Sookie for? How is Bill involved (if he is involved, more than likely it was an order and against his will)? I will not go into the books because this is the show. Alan B. could do just about anything. I love him for that, love the changes. Anyways, many unanswered questions here.
Jason and Andy, best new hookup of the season (they practically stole the season), next to Jessica and Hoyt. Too much fun.
I wonder what will happen to Tara now that she lost Eggs. Will she lose it and revert to her anger, drinking and drugs? And what about Lafayette. I am so glad he is still a part of the show. He is awesome. Why have him sell vampire blood, because Eric can always track him?
Now Bill and Sookie. I adore Bill. Remember we are discussing the show here. I had read all the books long before the first season ended and I prefer the show hands down. Bill is handsome, sexy and has a big heart. He is still learning to use it again, but it is there (Its this “learning” he is doing with Sookie that has made the show wonderful). He proved that at the finales end. Some people have said they were bored with the ending. I was enthralled. Why, after all they have been through these past two seasons, can’t they get a break. Bill loves Sookie so much, he would do anything for her, even meet the sun. The man is a keeper in my book. Yes he has kept things from her but it was always to protect her, remember he is still learning to be in a relationship.
So, now we wonder who kidnapped Bill. More than likely Eric is involved. Perhaps he called in Lorena again, after all, a woman scorned………………….
Truly we will not know for sure for another 9 agonizing months. But for now, I will keep the image of our handsome Bill dancing and asking Sookie to marry him, close. I am after all a romantic at heart.
I ubderstand though that to keep the storyline fresh there will be drama and triangles, etc. That will be fun too.
Team True Blood!!!!!

Lizzie 1701 September 15, 2009 at 1:33 am

Totally agree with you Nia. I love the Bill and Sookie romance as well! I am so sorry that Bill did not hear Sookie say yes! It would have given him hope whilst abducted!

I cannot understand the hatred for Bill and the bashing that goes on. This is not Book Bill and guess what! I read the books and like AB, felt there was more behind Bill that was not fully developed in the books by CH. I think he is misunderstood,like Book Eric is, as CH said in one of her interviews, that she thinks readers have read Eric wrong.

Anyhow, can’t we just like who we like without others going for our jugular and giving book reasons to hate that character?

Just enjoy the show!!!

cgpunker September 15, 2009 at 6:45 am

My reasons for hating Show!Bill are purely based on the show. Actually, Show!Bill makes me like Book!Bill better. Book!Bill had a life, character, job and balls. He did some crap things to Sookie, but he was a man and owned up to them and took his medicine. He also didn’t apologize for being a vampire.

Show!Bill has this hypocritical self hating human thing going on – hypocritical of course because Bill can be a violent vampire whenever he wants as long as it’s for Sookie then it doesn’t count. Um, I thought he got all good after Lorena? Can anyone explain Diane & friends? Doesn’t this guy have anything to do but yowl “SUCKEH IS MIIIINE” all night? Thank god he’s a vampire or Sookie would have him nipping at her heels all day.

micaela September 15, 2009 at 6:57 am

on the other hand I think that Eric character, especially in book 4 is quite disappointing and boring! He’s supposed to be a very bad guy and suddenly he becomes innocent as a child, so romantic and all! I hope the show won’t portrait him like this in future. I like the opposition between bad boy vampire eric and good one Bill(my favourite!), no matter what the books say.

cgpunker September 15, 2009 at 7:09 am

I liked the opposition of Bill & Eric in S1 when Bill wasn’t a caricature. He used to be cool – the man had an agenda and internal struggles. He didn’t hate himself and he even had cooler clothes. Then they introduced Eric and he became almost childlike in his infatuation with Sookie. I for one don’t think they needed to make Bill bland to give him opposition to Eric. They were different all on their own. Different – but still interesting.

I do kind of hope they do the amnesia in S4. Skarsgard will act the sh*t out of it.

micaela September 15, 2009 at 7:21 am

@cgpunker: I do not agree, to be in love doesn’t mean to become infatuated or a caricature! I just think he(Bill) became more sure of his feeling for Sookie as she showed up her love for him, that’s all. I still like his character and his development very much. and I still think that Alan Ball will develop all Bon Temps intrigues around Bill and Sookie love story, of course not alway a happy one otherwise there would not be anything to be thrilled for.

cgpunker September 15, 2009 at 8:15 am

I have cats. More of an equal playing ground kind of love. Maybe that’s it? LOL

What was the first fictional couple that really had you? Books or tv? I have a theory that couple sets our course for fictional couples forever.

My first, and still favorite, love story was Wuthering Heights. The good girl and the dark brooding anti hero. The one you have to fight for and against. My tastes always run this way! 🙂

cgpunker September 15, 2009 at 7:46 am

What is Bill & Sookie’s love exactly? We’ve heard from the Queen that her blood – her “otherness” will cause a vampire to fall in love. And we know that Sookie had 24 hours of like before she started guzzling his blood and creating a blood bond. Is it real? We don’t know! They haven’t given us any reason to think its any more than desperate infatuation. There’s no there there. Just schmoopy puppy dog.

I want more dammit! lol I was all into Bill & Sookie before they took the interesting stuff out of it. Life is complicated, and love is too.

micaela September 15, 2009 at 7:54 am

LOL! I just think that this show is really awesome because it portrays so many aspects of life,and it is loved by many different fans for that reason. each one of us finds something passionate and interesting in it and its various characters.I never noticed before such a deep and real interest in a show!I’m passionate in Bill and sookie lovestory and I’m craving to see what’s next!

Lynn September 15, 2009 at 8:39 am

cgpunker, you had me laughing SO hard!! SO TRUE! I think tv Bill and tv Eric leave much to be desired.

cgpunker September 15, 2009 at 7:55 am

Oh, that’s it! I’m totally replying to myself, but I think I just solved the mystery.

It’s her blood! That’s why Bill lost his edge and became her love slave! Bill’s in Bon Temps to woo her & bonds her to him with his blood. He doesn’t know that her blood will tie him to her equally. It’s since that ep that Bill has started this free fall into schmoopy. Wow, I bet I’m one of the last people to figure this out. LOL

So, Eric & Sam love her without the blood tie…interesting….
Maybe I will come back for S3. Maybe I DID misjudge Alan Ball!

micaela September 15, 2009 at 7:58 am

if Bill is Schmoopy…well I’d love my boyfriend to be Schmoopy too!!!!LOL

LOL If I wanted Bill schmoopy, I’d get a dog. I’m just not into clingy needy. Never have been.

micaela September 15, 2009 at 8:10 am

I already have 2 dogs actually! so I’ll take Bill, thanks.

my favourite love story is in Out of Africa, Karen Blixen and Denys Finch Hatton! sooooo romantic even if very sad (he dies after just a few months they finally get together). he was a romantic and charming gentleman!so…maybe that’s why I love Bill…he reminds me of that kind of absolute old fashioned love!:)

With you all the way Lizzy! The Bill bashing is horrible. Its one way for some to play out their frustrations when the show doesn’t exactly go their way.
Bill is a wonderful character and contrary to what others may say, DEEP. He is not a caricature, and for godrics sake, why pick on his clothes??? That is so funny its sad (little quote from Lorena). It was mentioned by someone that Bill was supposed to be “good” after Lorena. Its foolish to think that he could just switch off 60 years of Lorenas conditioning. I applaud his character for wanting to be different. Now consider that he is probably the only vampire (in the 1930s)who feels that way. How do you survive? Bill had a long way to go and probably not any support to get there. He is still on that path.
As for Bill being in love with Sookie only after he drank her blood, I believe that some may have to go and rewatch episode 1 and 2 of season 1. He may have gone into Merlottes to find Sookie (we do not know for sure till the SHOW story plays out), but became enthralled with her right away. Same with Sookie. She was drawn to him. They had a connection from the beginning.
Sookie dreamed about Bill BEFORE she drank his blood. She started dreaming about Eric only after she was RRICKED into drinking his blood. Many seem to overlook this fact.
OK, enough, lets just all enjoy the best entertainment on tv and give Alan B. and the ENTIRE cast our support and admiration for giving us this great show.
Team True Blood!

I was a little disappointed with the finale. No scene that I want to go back and re watch (like I have with other episodes). Bill was too good, where is the Vampire in him? Eric made to look like Evil Eric, YAWN, the lead female getting engaged, that’s a new concept. The Queen needs a makeover, she needs to be more Vampire Queen instead of a spoiled teen and what’s with the Ellie May Clampet look on Hadley?
Did they really have to kill Eggs by have Jason shoot him in the head? Couldn’t he have just run away or killed himself?
I did like Sookie’s reaction to Bill proposal but instead of continuing her inner conflict, they had her put the ring on her finger and poof inner conflict resolved, yup she wants to get married. Maybe it was a magic ring. I liked the way that Maryann was finally killed but Sam turning into a White Bull, where’d he imprint on that? I like that Sam is going to find his family, that may be interesting next Season. Maybe they’ll have Jessica take the place of Bubba and I hope they give us more Pam. “she’s like a cool breeze on a summer day”.
What I did find interesting is that both Seasons ended with something to do with Bill and Sookie getting married. Season 1, Arlene, after the news that vampires can marry in Vermont, Sookie now you and Bill can get married and Season 2 Bill proposes.

oh hey Deen!!
i forgot the link to vermont from the end of the first season..and the plane tix before Bill proposed! thanks for reminding me!

Vero September 14, 2009 at 9:47 pm

It sorta fizzled out… too predictable.

Theresa September 14, 2009 at 8:51 pm

I love what everyone has to say, it gives food for thought. I did not read the books until season 2 started and did so because I felt the show was just going to slow for my taste. I have to say the show egged me on to want to have more and more. I thought the finale lacked that certain something (I don’t know what though). I too was hoping that Eric would have appeared in the bathroom with Sookie, I really thought that was going to happen. I think she has feelings for him and just does not know it yet. I felt there was something there upon them first meeting (and I had no idea there were books at that point). Just the way she said to Bill “Who’s that” and his reply was “oh you noticed him huh?” Anyway I too believe the show would be boring if they made it the Bill/Sookie or Eric/Sookie hour and I look forward to the obstacles that hopefully will come their way. I look forward to seeing the werewolfs and weretiger and all the other new characters that should be appearing to make Sookie’s life mayhem. That is what is exciting, all the trouble she gets into and the supe’s who help her get through it. Here’s to season 3 and sure hope 9 months fly by because I am such a fan I just cannot sit still. I will fill time by watching Vampire Diaries and will go see New Moon (2nd movie to the Twilight Series) and am anxiously awaiting Charlaine’s 10th book.

I was disappointed at first -it seemed to go along just as I had expected though I WAS glad to see the end of Maryanne! Then about half way through,it got interesting! Thats why I love this series-I have read all the books but the series continues to surprise and amaze me! First Rebecca than Jason-WOW!!!
I think Eric kidnapped Bill because of what he said to Sophie.

Jessica September 14, 2009 at 5:05 pm

I really don’t care for ERW as the queen but whatever lol! The Andy/Jason couple is great they really make me laugh..I love Lafayette and Sam and of course I jus love Eric 🙂 I’m definately on team Eric I’ve never been a big fan of Bills and I especially dislike him in the books…I’m finishing book 7 now and I can’t wait to read the next 3! I do love the complexity of all the characters on the show and I don’t think people should take it soo seriously lol!!! It’s a fantasy/supernatural show people 🙂 I think 9 months is way too long to wait for season 3 for sure! And I’m sure happy Maryanne is dead I was soo sick of her. I’m hoping Allan Ball does bring in some characters from the books like Alcide, Quinn and I know the nasty Debbie Pelt will show up ya! For now I’ll keep updated on the coming season 3 on Twitter and finish books 8-10 book 10 due out this May 🙂

Victoria September 14, 2009 at 5:05 pm

I didnt liked at all how jessica ends up on the season finale.
But the ending when someone kidnapp Bill, is killing mee!
i already want to know what will happen in 9 monthss!
i hope Bill’s alright!
i love true blood!

Jessica September 14, 2009 at 4:59 pm

I was also kind of disapointed in last nights show…i

teresa September 14, 2009 at 4:54 pm

I loved the season finale, love Bill, how can anyone have a heart and not want Sookie to end up with Bill. I don’t mind a little flirtation with Eric just to keep it interesting, but Bill is so sweet, and truly loves Sookie, I’ll be upset if things change to much. I can’t wait for season 3

Jaxx September 14, 2009 at 10:55 pm

That’s all I can say is I don’t know how Bill will be portrayed in Season 3. I DO know how he was portrayed throughout 9 books. And, I KNOW, we’re not talking books here and I don’t know if you’ve read any of them or not, BUT I think you would feel differently if you read them first. Eric is loving, giving, caring, feeling and a lot of other wonderful things that, for some reason unbeknownst to me, this show doesn’t want us to know about. Hopefully, this will all change in Season 3. Hopefully. Bill has a couple real dark secrets and I don’t know if AB will expose them or not, but if he does, I think you would change your mind. Let’s just see what Season 3 brings.

micaela September 15, 2009 at 11:34 am

actually I’m reading the books, I’m on book 4 and I still like Bill character even in books although his dark sides. Eric is quite predictable instead and that’s quite disappointing. but maybe in future books I will change my mind about him. the show we know is different so who knows what will happen

Jaxx September 15, 2009 at 12:50 pm

michela, once you read all the books, you may understand where the Eric fans are coming from. In book 5 there is another secret of Bills and Eric shins in future books.

Jaxx September 15, 2009 at 12:52 pm

Oops, I meant Eric shines in future books, my typo.

micaela September 15, 2009 at 12:54 pm

we’ll see…actually I’m a faithfull girl so I doubt I would change my mind on Bill but maybe I will redefine my image of Eric

Tumblingweed September 14, 2009 at 4:48 pm

The sociology is fascinating, especially the Team Eric fervor. Is it just that these women haven’t HAD their ‘bad boys’? What is Sookie supposed to DO with Eric if they were to be together? Tame him into Bill?

This IS just entertainment but I’d like to see something done with the concept of immortality besides ennui and yatzhee. Doesn’t anyone put the opportunities to good use? I can think of a number of people for whom long life would prove beneficial, for us AND for them…

Bill hasn’t been a vampire long, in the vampire scheme of things, but long enough to think about Sookie changing over time in ways he will not…is he willing to settle for such an evanescent and increasingly May-December affair or will they both have to really consider Sookie joining him in vampiredom?

If so, at what point in her life? And is Bill just a fluke or could Sookie cross over with a decent amount of humanity intact?

Which brings me round full circle, I guess. If Stephen Hawking had been bitten (before the als got bad) would he still want to do physics?

Brittany September 15, 2009 at 10:01 am

Without giving anything away if you haven’t read the books, not to say the AB will stick to the plot, but Eric is supposed to be a complex character that slowly unravels over time. Remember that Bill constantly reminds Sookie that he isn’t human and that sometimes his instinct is just to act like a vampire. In the scope of things Bill is a fairly young vampire compared to Eric. Erics spent centuries becoming the way he is now. At his core, he really isn’t just a “bad boy” and we will probably start to see that if AB continues in the same general direction.
