All I have to say is the books will answer alot of the questions asked and your all right ! I cant put them down and if the Tv show goes along like they have been WOW!!!!! Season 4 is going to be hot!

Cassandra January 7, 2011 at 10:13 pm

To be honest if something doesn’t happen between Eric and Sookie in the new season I will more than likely not be watching anymore. I don’t mind the new characters so much but it is starting to go to far from the books.

Sheila January 9, 2011 at 3:32 am

There is always something happening between Eric and Sookie. How much fun would it be if AB just let us see them in all their glory without a little work to get to the end result. Neither Eric or Sookie are easily won over, and what fun is it when people just suck up to you to give in all the time? Consider it Foreplay and enjoy the end result. I almost bet my left arm you won’t be disappointed! I mean truly, This is True Blood and AB. How much more could a girl really ask for?

sarah January 9, 2011 at 10:44 am

Hi First thing I wanna say is that is there any guys here who watch the show? We all seem to be female and I wonder if the show appeals to guys also?

Next thing is I do think that something will happen between Sookie and Eric in the next season. If not due to amnesia plot, maybe she will get with Eric as she is lonely, or as a rebound. In the books she doesn’t seem to love Eric as he loves her, she just loves the sex. One example I can think of is when he comes to tell her as her husband about how America is didvided between vampires, and the names of the areas, she didn’t appreciate his confiding in her. All she had on her mind was sex.

I think in season 4 she wil get with Eric but it wont be long term, it will be more of a fling. Whether or not Eric or Sookie will be in the right frame of mind I can’t say. We had the kiss last season finale, which shows more will follow next season. Or who knows, I may be wrong and Sookie may find a faery boyfriend in Fae land.

Hi Sarah,

I know for sure that we have at least one guy who comments here who watches True Blood. His name is Antonio, and he’s a total sweetheart. 🙂 Unfortunately, he doesn’t always comment here really often.

Marsha loves Eric January 10, 2011 at 6:14 pm

HA HA – I can officially use that as my name cause my husbands name is actually Eric… LOL
And my post is to say that he watches True Blood too, but he is not on this site at all. So any points he makes to me, I share with you.
Looking forward to S4.

Marsha January 3, 2011 at 9:39 pm

…just another thought too – when Godric died, he told Sookie that he wouldn’t last long out in the sun, because he was so old…2000 years… but when Eric brought the king out (for some reason I can not remember his name! shame on me!!) it took a long time for him to burn and he is older than Godric…
just something I thought of and wanted to point out…

And I have to agree with the comment that the books are one story and the show is another. Again, they have to make the show last longer than the books, and keep us interested…

With that said, due to what I have read here, I guess there is a shower scene in the book that is really sexy, and everyone wants Allan Ball to put it into the 4th season… I hope they do… it sounds like it is a good scene… LOL!

sheila January 4, 2011 at 10:30 am

To answer your thought, the reason that Russel was able to stay out in the sun longer without getting fried like an egg sooner is because he had drank some of Sookie’s blood. That’s part of the attraction for the Vamps not only is it intoxicating, they can go in the daylight for short periods of time so far. Otherwise, he would have been toast like Godric.

Marsha January 4, 2011 at 10:41 am

Shiela – RIGHT! I didn’t think of that. He had Sookies blood… and they had a lot too by the way she was totally unconcious… thank you for that. 🙂

Isis Nocturne January 4, 2011 at 1:36 pm

I think AB already did it (but between Bill and Sookie rather than Eric and Sookie), but even if he wanted to… shower scenes are hard to film, and I can see some of the difficulties in how that would be set up. It’d be hard to film and even harder to edit. JMHO as a film major.

Marsha January 4, 2011 at 1:45 pm

…are you referring to the shower scene where it was after Bill and Sookie made up and she got in first, then Bill and he healed her bite marks and then the end of the scene blood was going down the drain? That was a pretty good scene.

The best scene I think was when Eric staked Talbot… I loved it… and then Russell freaked out… it is SO good this show.

I know we get into trouble mentioning other shows, but in the meantime I am watching Vampire Diaries, and at the start, I couldn’t get into it cause it was so tame/mild. Highschool blah blah blah. But it is good for NOT being True Blood. LOL

Isis Nocturne January 4, 2011 at 4:08 pm

Yes, I was referring to that beautifully shot shower scene. (Film major = I love the how it was shot and edited together.)

Russell freaking out was hysterical! I couldn’t help it; I laughed for about 15 mins after that!

And it’s not that you get in trouble, it’s more that our focus is True Blood and in the past we’ve had people do long rants about Twilight, etc. You can absolutely mention what you’re watching to fill the void. In my case, I’ve been drooling over Henry Fitzroy on Blood Ties. 🙂

Marsha December 30, 2010 at 10:25 am

Okay, so this is my understanding,
Bill worked for the Queen. Sookie’s cousin hooked up with the Queen and told the Queen about Sookies gifts. The Queen clued in to this and thought that Sookie may be a Fae, which vampires love to drink and the whole walking in the sun thing. So she sent Bill in to get Sookie. Cause that is what he did for her. So Bill went to Bon Temps to procure Sookie, but when he met her, he felt something. Which I think has something to do with the fact that she is part Fae, vampires are drawn to them I think (but it could just have been that he was curious as to why the Queen wanted her). So Bill got to know her, and fell in love with her, and then was always protecting her. He didn’t share with her that he was sent to Bon Temps to get her for the Queen…but I think he felt ashamed of it after he fell in love with her. And he didn’t tell the Queen he found Sookie.
Bill tried to keep Sookie away from Eric, I think because once Bill knew Sookie and tasted her blood, he knew she was special. And Eric knew Bill was in his juristiction doing a job for the Queen. Eric worked for the Queen too, and since he is the sheriff he probably knew Bill was in his area for the Queen, even tho Bill never admitted that to Eric, always saying he is going main-stream in his home town. But how else would Eric know Bill was sent to Bon Temps by the Queen. He didn’t know it was because Sookie was Fae – but then again maybe Eric did know because he confronted Bill in Season 3 about telling Sookie the truth – and Bill said he did, that he told Sookie what she is…
Eric did fall in love with Sookie – and that was shown a few times. When he had a day dream about her (it was usually her about him, because she had his blood), when he kissed her because he thought he was going to die, when he told Pam he wouldn’t use her, and when he touched her face before feeding from her to kill Russell.
I think that they will do an Eric and Sookie thing, because they were putting the idea in here and there in the seasons… but I think they will keep Bill in too. I understand by these posts that the show isn’t following the storylines in the books (I have not read them) – but I suspect that is because they are making a series rather than movies so have to expand and change this and that so the story can go on longer than the books and keep us interested… reading we use our own imagination, with TV or film they have to create it for us. So, they have to keep things exciting for us.
I think that they may put Sookie and Bill back together for a bit…I am thinking that Bill’s fight with the Queen will hurt him pretty bad and Sookie will go to him…but this is just a big guess. They have to keep Bill there so we can love or hate him, and want them together or want Eric and Sookie together, but for us to keep guessing. That is the fun part!!
Alcide and Sookie may have something too… that would be cool…
OH, and I want to mention this too! The other Fae we met in Texas, the hotel worker guy – Bill took him out of the room after he knocked out his maker Lorena…and when Sookie and him were out for dinner (when he proposed) she mentioned the other Fae and said she didn’t even know where he was – and Bill reacted a bit – so I think he does know where that other Fae is!! But didn’t tell her… she may find that out and that will get her even more angry with Bill…
what do you guys think?

sheila December 30, 2010 at 12:19 pm

I think you may be on to something. That sounds like a pretty interesting thought. I’m not too keen on Bill and Sookie getting back together, only cause Sookie was pretty mad, and for the sake of argument, I really think she is gonna explore Eric and Alcide possibly for a second. But I still think that Eric may come out the man of the hour overall.

jaxx December 31, 2010 at 3:57 pm

Wow, you pretty much summed it up in a nutshell. Good job!! LOL.

I agree, I think Eric and Sookie will have their turn this year as well as Alcide and Sookie. Oh the choices, the choices this girl has. This is what will keep this series fun and fresh. It will be interesting to see if Sookie can forgive Bill and if they do get back together at some point. We also have Quinn to meet which I guess should be introduced at the end of Season 4, if we move on to Season 5. Bill will always be part of Sookie’s life in some way, shape or form. We will just have to wait and see how this one plays out. Can’t wait.

Loleaf January 1, 2011 at 1:39 am

Amen! I hope we get to see some Eric/Sookie moments. Yes..Eric used Sookie but so has Bill. I still believe there is something more to Bill than meets the eye… He mimiced Eric’s voice perfectly to put the hit out on Pam. Even Russell spoke of how surprised he was that Bill controlled his feeding urges when it came to Sookie’s blood. Can’t wait to see where this info leads us!! Want to see more of Sookie kicking but and standing up to people. Oh and more Eric and Sookie banter.. her and Pam are the only two women he allows to do that.. More please!! Lol I want to reread book 4, but it makes me want to pull out my hair to know that my fav parts my or may not be played out. So much for our infamous shower scene w/ Eric, and I don’t think that they will put in “gracious plenty” either! But Eric may take the bullet for Sookie as stated in book.. Because Eric did say to Sookie in graveyard about sucking out the bullet, “maybe next time you shoot me”! (kitchen scene w/Debbie).. Book readers know what I’m refering to.

sheila January 1, 2011 at 3:06 am

I agree, I think I will go re-read book four later tonight. It is New Year’s after all, and I can’t think of a better way to ring in the New Year, than one of the sexiest Vamps ever on the planet. Happy New Year to all my True Blood friends, you have become my new extended family so to speak, I have all of S3 on the DVR I could always watch that and get a new perspective. Fangs for a wonderful year!

justine January 1, 2011 at 4:09 am

i hope really hope that the shower scene is going to be in season 4 man it is to good too not be in there ( gracious plenty indeed )

jaxx January 1, 2011 at 12:58 pm

Hi girls and Happy New Year!!!

I think I will wait and re-read DTTW just before S4 starts. No need to torture myself for 5 more months. I want it fresh in my mind when S4 starts and then compare to see what is kept and what is left out. Oh please, AB include the shower scene. That was the highlight for us girls in the book. *Squeal*

telboy January 3, 2011 at 6:07 am

Me thinks you all forget one thing Vamps use humans, that’s what they do to them humans are food no more than that. Cant wait for next series. Without a doubt best show ever

sheila January 3, 2011 at 9:42 am

Nobody forgot they are vamps, I assure you. Without a doubt there is a symbiotic relationship, but in some cases, they are more than just a food source. I gaurantee it. I can’t wait for S4!

Simone January 5, 2011 at 4:25 am

I’ve don’t read the books myself. I like the idea of Sookie start read Bill’s mind after he drinks so many blood of her, he becomes a Fae. All series are about the relation Bill/Sookie, why stop it?

Anna Mauldin December 30, 2010 at 1:41 am

I think Eric and sookie would be cool but I like Bill /Sookie better I hope AB throws Bill in the story in season 4

AShley December 24, 2010 at 1:20 am

Why does everyone always use the “he’s a vampire, its in his nature” defense to excuse Bill? Eric’s a vampire too, therefore everything he’s done should be okay to, and not while in a relationship with Sookie.
Bill lied to the woman he was supposed to love many, many times. He manipulated her into falling in love with him by setting up the hero image with the rattrays rescue and making sure she got his blood. That is the true betrayal, not the vampire stuff he did. Lying and manipulation is NOT a vampire thing, that’s something humans do all the time. Vampires are all killers, but it’s the lying and manipulation that was the big crime against Sookie. This was done both to seduce Sookie and while in the relationship. Eric hasn’t been in a relationship with Sookie yet. Bill has to be held to the standards of someone who was in a relationship and supposed to be in love with Sookie. The bullet sucking thing Eric did, well he admitted it right afterwards and didn’t try to act like it was anything different or make excuses. Bill set up the rattrays thing specifically so Sookie would see him as her hero and not suspect that he was trying to get blood into her, and a lot of blood at that.

Sheila December 24, 2010 at 4:03 am

I hate to state the obvious, but they are vamps, and it is in their nature to do what they do. Yes, Bill being the one in the relationship with Sookie at the moment did commit the ultimate betrayal, especially when you look at the fact that Bill twisted her heart strings, asked her to marry him, and tried to come out the hero. Then things ended with Bill trying to cover his tracks and dispose of the people or vamps that could expose him. But looking at it overall, everybody has tried to get a piece of Sookie for their own ends. Some more blatantly than others, but it’s been at the top of every body’s Christmas list to get Sookie as the ultimate prize for something. (must be rough!) Did Bill truly love her, maybe, we’ll have to wait to see where AB takes us. If you remember, Bill told Sookie that if anything ever happened to him to go to Eric, he would take care of her. This may open the door for Eric this season, the question will be, because of the connection they are forming or admitting slowly is there, Will Eric be smart enough to hold on to Sookie for his own gains, or possibly for the bigger and best reason (IMO) But ultimately, I think Eric earns points for not lying to Sookie, he didn’t always have full disclosure, used her as bait, and put her in somewhat dangerous situations, but he did always have someone close by,and in truth, Sookie was and is always clear about who Eric is first, Vampire, Sheriff , Pain in the Butt, looking out for his personal interests. That has always been clear. Bill was deceptive. But ultimately was Sookie’s first real love interest. What will happen next? Only S4 will know. Yes, Sookie was betrayed by Bill, Used by Eric, but also helped by him too, nobody said Bill and Eric won’t be held accounable for their part in the whole thing, but in my opinion what Bill did was worse.

jaxx December 24, 2010 at 7:41 am

I agree with both of you. There’s a lot of Eric bashing lately because he used Sookie. To me, Bill did much worse, he seduced Sookie into loving him with ulterior motives. Yes he did fall in love with her, but that love started under false pretenses. As far as I can remember, when Eric does lie to Sookie, he tells fesses up almost immediately. Eric is loyal and will be loyal to Sookie when he knows you are loyal to him. All vampires use all humans to some extent, that’s the way it is. I think we will see an even greater, more loyal side to Eric as far as Sookie is concerned in S4.

~ Caitlin December 24, 2010 at 11:28 pm

Yes, both men have lied and manipulated. Like jaxx said, Eric will fess up right away or when confronted. Eric doesn’t really try to hide his bad side from Sookie. Eric is no saint either. I did not like that he brought Lorena to town.In some ways, Eric is brutely honest. Eric told Sookie that he wasn’t loyal to Bill On the other hand, Sookie has to interigate and pry the truth out of Bill. Even when Sookie confronts Bill, he still tries to lie his way out of it. Once, she asked him if he was keeping anything else from her and he said no. Sookie has had several conversation with him about his lying. He always follows it up by saying that he loves her and only wants to protect her. Part of that might be true but he was also lying to cover his butt. He didn’t just throw Eric into the cement to protect Sookie. Bill didn’t like Eric or Sookies growing attraction towards him.

sarah December 25, 2010 at 7:35 am

I agree that Sookie has know who Eric was from the start. But Eric has taken an interest in her also. In season 1 episode 4, when Sookie and Bill where in Fangtasia, Eric didnt know about her powers, so he couldn’t use her for his own gains, and it’s not like Sookie is extremely pretty, so there was something else about Sookie that caught Erics eye. I think Eric also loves Sookie, maybe more than Bill, but doesn’t want to admit it. All the time while Sookie was Bills, he didn’t try to seduce her or even kiss her. He protected her, even though he didn’t have to. In season 2 episode 8 I think, he was willing to sacrifice himself for Sookie. Yes in season 3 he did betray her, but he was doing it to kill Russell as he had a vendetta against him. But Russell had an interest in Sookie and wanted her for his own gains, so by Eric killing Russell, he was also protecting Sookie. And he did make Bill fess up at the end of season 3. Yes it may give Eric a chance with Sookie, but also he wanted her to know the truth, because he loves he, and believes she deserves it. So I think Eric is the better vamp.

Sheila December 26, 2010 at 2:14 am

I agree with you. I would only like to add that I can appreciate and would much rather have Eric’s brutal honesty any day over the lies. At least you know up front what you’re dealing with.JMO

Isis Nocturne December 27, 2010 at 3:20 pm

True Ashley, but by the same token, you forget that Eric did something that I just cannot forgive, regardless of his relationship status with Sookie. He CHAINED her up in his dungeon! That alone would prevent me from ever seeing him as a true suitor to Sookie, because a man/vampire who respects women would NOT do that.

sarah December 28, 2010 at 8:27 am

Hey Isis, I totally agree with you. By Eric doing that he will have most likely ruined his chances of being with her if this was real life. In the books, Sookie grows fond of Eric in book 4 as she has to look after him when he gets amnesia. I believe this is called nightingale syndrome. When you fall in love with someone you are looking after. I believe this could happen in the show. Then later on in the book series, Eric and Sookie properly get together, when Eric is in his right mind. That is due to the fact that Eric and Sookie exchanged blood 3 times, and therefore have a blood bond. Due to their bond Sookie feels happy around Eric, and looks forward to seeing him. She isn’t sure if she loves Eric or if it’s the bond. Alan Ball could also go down that route early in the show. Anyways all I know for sure is that so far in the books Sookies love for Eric isnt real. Who knows Erics love for her may be though. I am curious to see how Alan will get them together, cause its inevitable.

Isis Nocturne December 28, 2010 at 11:26 am

Sarah, you’re 100% right on nightingale syndrome. 🙂

However, based on AB’s comments at Comic-Con (which I heard in person), I’m not sure how the Eric/Sookie relationship will take place. I’m also not convinced that Eric will be the one who gets amnesia. In my personal opinion, I feel it could be done much more strongly if someone like Sookie or Bill ended up with amnesia instead. If it’s Sookie, we could blame it on her going to “faerie world” or whatever it is, which could create some excellent new story lines about Sookie slowly remembering everything that’s happened to her, and her new perceptions of the events that have taken place to date.

If the amnesia happens to Bill, then he could possibly get it as a result of his “fight to the death” with Queen Sophie-Anne. IMHO, either of those scenarios makes more sense than Eric randomly getting amnesia on True Blood, based on where the show left off.

As for Eric/Sookie, I have no doubt it’ll happen, but I think this may be the season where Sookie flits from man to man and could possibly test the waters with both Eric and Alcide. It all just depends on where Alan and the writers want to take the Bon Temps crew. 🙂

zanadefata December 13, 2010 at 11:52 am

season 4 starts on 12 june, check this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_True_Blood_episodes

Crystal December 11, 2010 at 4:22 am

Does anyone know when season 4 is going to start???????

~ Caitlin December 11, 2010 at 11:35 am

I think Season 4 is supposed to start June 5th because it said that episode two “You Smell Like Dinner” comes on June 12th. They started filming this season earlier than last. Most likely, the beginning of June it will start. The date could always change though but every season except the first one started in June. Hope that helps.

Crystal December 11, 2010 at 6:00 pm

Yes that helps thank you! Hate to have to wait so long though I miss it lol! I watched vampire diaries and thats already off till their next season guess i’ll have to find another show till then or watch past episodes lol.

~ Caitlin December 11, 2010 at 6:21 pm

Hi again Crystal,

It’s torture having to wait so long in between seasons. I wish they could have more episodes. Maybe they will have more minisodes like last season. I also watch the Vampire Diaries and it was just off a couple weeks then came back on for two weeks now its off again. I think it comes back on January 27th. I really like this season of Vamp Diaries lots of surprises in that show. I read the books and the shows so much better and very different from the books. I guess you will just have to watch Christmas movies till it comes back. Lol. Oh if you have HBO there is supposed to be a True Blood marathon on I think starting December 26th three episodes of this season a night.

Sheila December 25, 2010 at 12:21 am

Yay, my DVR is ready to go. Let’Party. Ring in the New Year with TB! Maybe we can get HBO to bump up the number of Episodes! I have been told that what you’re doing on New Year’s you’ll be doing all year, I can’t think of a better way to bring in the new year.

Hannah December 8, 2010 at 12:33 am

I can’t wait! I wonder how they are going to work this one! I think this is the one where Eric and Sookie finally do it. And the witch war OMG, in the book Jason also becomes a werepanther I hope they try and make it as awesome as the book.

lulu December 7, 2010 at 10:33 am

I love to read all the comments i feel like an extended family member of the truebloods,everyones all united in our love for this show and the books, it cheers me right up.

Jaimie Dalton November 28, 2010 at 12:31 am

Hey guys please remember to follow the comment policy. First and foremost we need to stay on topic which in this case is True Blood not the Sookie Stackhouse books. There are posts which talk about the books so feel free to chat about the books on those threads. Thanks everyone 🙂

sarah November 27, 2010 at 6:43 am

I would totally love a wedding in True Blood. Imagine seeing Jessica and Hoyt get married. That would be a sight. I wonder what Hoyts mam plans on doing though. I really want to know also if Sam killed Tommy. I hope not. I liked him, and if Hoyt and Jessica don’t work out I would like to see her with Tommy. Anything could happen as these characters (Jessica and Tommy) aren’t even in the book’s. I would only like the amnesia plot if at the end of the series Eric regains his memory. It would drive me mad to wait a few seasons(and a few years) for him to remember what went on.

Marsha November 24, 2010 at 9:52 am

I was told to watch Vampire Diaries while I waited for True Blood season 4. I have only watched one episode so far, but it looks interesting.
Also I heard that Lost Girl was good.
As for the Harry Potter movie just released. LOVED IT! It is fantastic. And of course there is a lot more detail in the books, there always are, but I think they did a wonderful job getting the main story line across. My heart always breaks for Harry and all he has to lose.
Back to T B. The Pam/Eric story would be great. How did he find her and why did he make her. Is any of that in the books? I plan on reading them soon.
I still like Bill and Sookie together, all thru the seasons he has protected her and I think it was sincere. I know he didn’t always do a good job at it, and kept things from her, but he IS a vampire after all, they are not known for their kindness. LOL.

jaxx November 24, 2010 at 6:17 pm

Hi Marsha, in one of the latter books, Pam tells Sookie about her past and the circumstances surrounding Eric turning her.

~ Caitlin November 24, 2010 at 6:29 pm

Hi Marsha,

****SPOILER of Book Pam being turned****

To answer the Pam/Eric question. Yes, Pam tells her story to Sookie in one of the books. I don’t remember what book though. It will be different in the show. In the show Pam sought out Eric in the book he came upon Pam. Also, Pam was a teenager when she was turned in the book. It was a really nice story. It gave Sookie/Pam a chance to bond. I don’t want to ruin it if your planning to read the books.

Kiki345 November 22, 2010 at 1:15 pm

I want to know wat happened to Sookie’s sister’s son who’s telepathic too

sarah November 27, 2010 at 12:49 pm

Yes I would love to see more of Hunter in the show. In the book’s he was hardly mentioned. And of course his mother Hadley died the final death, which she hasn’t in the show so far. I hope he has a story line in the next season. I would love to know what direction Alan will go in this.

Tina November 20, 2010 at 3:09 pm

i really hope Sookie ends up with Bill. Yes despite everything, I think they made a great couple. Also, it’ll nice for Sookie to gone for a while. to think things through and develop her powers! Cant wait for Season 4!!! 😀

Sheila November 20, 2010 at 3:36 pm

I loved Bill in the beginning, but now, I really think she needs to let Alcide and Eric rock her world and may the better Supe win. You have to admit, it would be a really difficult choice from where I sit. But a whole lot of fun……….

Antonio el lobo November 20, 2010 at 8:24 pm

In the books,Bill is found out to be not so nice. The show took a bit of a different turn with Bill. Mr. Ball is going his Own way with these characters and I think he does a Very good job!
The 1st season was just So Good! Even though there was a lot of violence,sex and language…the show Still had a warm “family-type” feel to it..i guess because Sookie’s Gran,Adele was So warm and kind! Anyway,I know what you mean,Bill was like a troubled vampire with a kind heart…Now a darker side has been revealed. As for Sookie’s chances for romance? I hope that Sookie and Eric get together..at least for a While! As for Sookie and Alcide? Who Knows? Perhaps AB will allow for them to get closer too. There was a lot of banter between Sooks and Alcide in book 4.

Annet November 19, 2010 at 8:17 am

Let’s not forget the witch that’s dating Lafayette…. I’m wondering what that story will be.

Antonio el lobo November 20, 2010 at 9:39 am

Perhaps Im a bit biased here.. Now that i have begun reading the books..particularly #4 And 5, It should be Quite interesting to see How AB will write these storylines out. Laffy and his witch bf? Hoyt and Jessica? Sam and Tommy? Sookie abducted by Fae?
None of these are addressed in the books. So it will be something to see Where the writers go with this! Its Funny How Jason is placed in charge of the werepanther group instead of being abducted and becoming one of them~~~that was from book 5 I believe.

Sheila November 20, 2010 at 3:31 pm

I know this may be taboo, so I will keep it short. Some of the things AB has done are to add to the story line as he see’s fit, thus keeping us book junkies interested too, as I have said before anybody starts to get upset, I watched the first epi and learned about the books and became hooked on both, but they are both awesome in my opinion, I get to have visuals to go along with what I already have read and see where it takes off from there. But some of what you think is not in the books actually is, I won’t say what, but you should re- read the books.

jaxx November 20, 2010 at 5:40 pm

Ok Sheila, now you have me curious. What parts are you referring to???

Sheila November 20, 2010 at 7:20 pm

Hey Jaxx, unless I misunderstood your comment, Sookie does indeed get captrued by the Fae, and gets rescued by Niall if I remember correctly, maybe I should re read the books to find out, if so Mia Culpa.

jaxx November 20, 2010 at 8:06 pm

Sheila, I just couldn’t figure out what you were referring to, now I understand where you were going with this. I agree. 🙂

Hey Antonio!! I wonder if while in charge of the werepanthers, Jason will be abducted by Felton, especially if he is already jealous of his and Crystal’s relationship and now he is in charge of the werepanther community. Just speculation but he has to be kidnapped and turned to make his storyline start to mix in with everyone elses, especially Sookie’s for the future. I really don’t like how AB is portraying Calvin Norris. He was a respectable man in the books.

Antonio el lobo November 20, 2010 at 7:53 pm

Hey Jaxx! You are right! Calvin Norris was a respectable and kind man in the books! Colonel Flood was also a nicer,respectable man in the books. Crystal and the Hotshot community are different in the books,too. Now, that I have begun reading the books…started with book 4 and am now on book 5,I can see that the books Are different than the show. I suppose that more things will be left out. It would be nice to see characters like Charles Twining,A vampire who is courteous and yet strong. In Dead to the World,There is a confrontation between Sam & Bill..When Bill walks in on Sookie & Sam in Sam’s office..I thought of the confrontation between these 2 guys near the end of S1..Was That from This book?
I would agree that Sometimes books do Not translate well to screen.
Anyway,I hope that AB at least will follow some of the book for Season 4! The amneisac Eric Storyline was 1 of my Favorites!
and the Developing “friendship” between Sookie and Alcide.
and Jason as a Were-panther…I hope Some of This stuff makes it into the show?

Antonio el lobo November 22, 2010 at 1:59 am

Excuse Me.. The confrontation between Sam and Bill was in Dead As A Doornail…Book #5…NOT 4!

Hi Antonio and jaxx,

I didn’t like how Calvin and HotShot in general was depicted in the show. I wonder if Calvin is really dead though? Jason can’t watch over HotShot forever. That would become boring and he can hardly take care of himself. I like the Jason were storyline in the books because it felt like he became a little closer to Sookie. Also, he became more involved in the supe world and Sookie could share more information with him. I hope we get to see some flashbacks of Gran. AB mentioned that she might show up again a some point. I wonder what Gran would think about Eric? Would she have liked him?

I hope this season isn’t as jammed packed with characters. I think it will be. Hopefully, the main characters are together. There is a lot each character needs to be filled in on.

jaxx November 23, 2010 at 12:55 pm

Hi Caitlin/Antonio, I’m guessing Calvin isn’t dead. He did ingest vamp blood which saved him the first time. Don’t know the time frame but I’m guessing it couldn’t be more than a couple of days after he ingested the blood. I’m wondering if there is still enough in him to save him again. Calvin’s character was essential in the books to helping Sookie (even though Calvin is portrayed much different than in the books in TB). I think Calvin will live on. I still think Jason will be kidnapped by Felton and/or Calvin once Calvin finds out Jason is in charge of his group. Should be interesting and make Jason a more interesting character in TB.

I will also be happy to see Gran in flashbacks. I think we will see her b/c Sookie went to her grave to talk to her in the last episode. Maybe she’ll see Gran in faeland??? We know how this is all connected in the books. It will be interesting to see how this is all connected in TB. I hope we go somewhat down the same path b/c we’ll see more Gran in flashbacks then. I also hope we get to meet Niall in S4. I imagine we will since she is going to faeland. Niall has to be there to greet her and tell her about her family history. Can’t wait to see who will play Niall. A David Bowie type would be great if not David Bowie himself. You never know.

I also am a fan of Twilight. It was my first love, but then TB came along. LOL. I will always have a special place in my heart for the Twilight books though.

Hi jaxx,

I remember AB alluded to Gran coming back to the show at some point but not in a flashback. I think your onto something. Yes, Gran might show up in faeland. It would be wonderful to see her again and for her to give Sookie some much needed guidence and support. I can’t wait! I want Calvin to be alive so can take back his wacky clan. Maybe Calvins character can gain some redemption. As we have seen last season, there are two sides to every character.

jaxx November 23, 2010 at 5:45 pm

I so hope it’s Eric that has amnesia so we can see more of his softer side.

~ Caitlin November 24, 2010 at 12:59 am

Hi again jaxx,

Yes, I really want to find out more of Eric’s past next season. The amnesia storyline would be perfect for reminiscing on time long past. It would be nice to see more of his parents. Maybe Pam reminds him of his mmother. It would be cute to see him as a little boy playing by the shore. Normally, happy flashbacks aren’t shown. Like I said before, I would like to see a Pam/Eric flashback.

Faith January 1, 2011 at 7:03 pm

I think you need to treat the show and the books as 2 totally different and great things. There are similarities between the books and the show, but the show takes everything in new and different directions. In my opinion, they are 2 great storylines in one. I get to put a face to my characters (and drool in Eric’s case) and see what AB’s terrific mind can make of each of them and the storylines.

dispie November 10, 2010 at 4:49 pm

After twilight and the emo vamps with Paris Hilton skin, i was very afraid that this was the new vampire..So I did not expect anything from true blood.

But after seeing 3 eps of season 1,
I just went to the store to get the rest watched them in a record time of 1 week totally great series, but the end of season 3 was so open I could not beleave a great serie would end that way.

so very happy to see season 4 is coming 🙂

Marsha November 9, 2010 at 1:21 pm

…I am sorry, I meant in my statement “dedicating himself to the King so he would NOT keep looking for Sookie (since he had figured out the Queen wanted her)… sorry typo. 🙂

Marsha November 8, 2010 at 1:01 pm

oooops, I meant so the King would NOT keep looking for Sookie, since the King knew the Queen was interested in her. Typos!

~ Caitlin November 7, 2010 at 6:35 pm

I agree with Isis, I don’t think that Bill and Sookie were in the fae world. She needed to go through the portal in the water to get to the fae world. I do think Sookie will be gone for a few weeks or months. Wouldn’t everyone be frntic looking for her?

jaxx November 7, 2010 at 8:14 pm

I also agree with Isis, they were in an “in between” world. They have to go through the portal to enter into fae territory.

Yes, it will be fun seeing everyone frantically looking for Sookie. I personally hope she is gone for a while and learns more about herself, who she is and finds herself there. I also hope she is taught how to use her powers to protect herself so she doesn’t have to rely on a were or a vamp to protect her. She needs to be able to do all of this before letting another man into her head and heart again.

Sheila November 7, 2010 at 9:02 pm

I agree with Isis as well. That would actually make perfect sense to have Sookie get Amnesia and give her time to recoup while getting to know the side of her life that she has only had bits and pieces until now, She could fill in the blanks while regaining her memory. Kinda like a 2 for 1 special True Blood style! I for one will be waiting to see what happens, cause you already know that once AB puts his spin on it, we all may be completely left with our jaws hittin the floor! I have said it before, I will say it again,. Bring on S4. Yay True Blood.

~ Caitlin November 7, 2010 at 9:41 pm

Also, time in faeland could be different than time in the human world. She could be gone a year in fae time and a few months human time. Who knows? Hopefully, Sookie if gone for a little while to give a calm before the storm. I think AB ended last season like that so that their could be a time lapse. The episode could begin with that night and skip ahead.

DTTW2010 November 6, 2010 at 9:35 pm

I’m wondering if Sookie is the one that gets amnesia. I think Alan Ball said something that season 4 will show what happens to those who go to the fae world. This will give Eric a clean slate.

sarah November 7, 2010 at 11:26 am

Hi DTTW2010 I don’t think Sookie will get amnesia in season 4. If you recall in season 3 both she and Bill visit the Fae world and neither got amnesia. I think she will be gone for a couple of months, and find that life will have moved on. Can’t wait till July for season 4. Or maybe Sookie will become less human and more fae, and we may see her powers have gotten stronger, the thing she does with her hand. She doesn’t do this thing with her hand in the books.

Isis Nocturne November 7, 2010 at 12:19 pm

Hey Sarah, I don’t think either Sookie or Bill have actually been to faerie world, only limbo. After all, in order to reach the other side, they would have had to pass through the water portal. Neither of them did.

BLAH BLAH BLAH November 7, 2010 at 1:41 pm

Eric is the one who gets amnesia…if you read the books the whole fourth book is about Eric….and it starts out with Sookie finding him running on the side of the road naked and no clue who he is….

Isis Nocturne November 7, 2010 at 7:06 pm

This is True Blood, not the books. Alan Ball may change the story however he likes, and there’s no definitive evidence as of yet that Eric will be the one with amnesia.

sarah November 7, 2010 at 1:43 pm

Hi Isis thanks for pointing that out. I forgot. I wouldn’t mind if Sookie gets amnesia in season 4. The first book I read was book 4 and read the series through the end but I still havent read the first 3 so I don’t know how different the first 3 seasons were from the books. If Sookie does indeed get amnesia in season 4 it could go either way. Both Bill and Eric will try to win her, and she wont remeber Bill’s betrayal. To keep the fans happy, she would have to choose Eric, and that way they could still be together without Eric getting the amnesia, and eventually Sookie will remeber Bill’s betrayal. But then where do the witches fit in? It would have to be Eric due to that fact. Eric gets amnesia because of the witches. Soom are suggesting Sookie might get it due to going to the fae world. Also will Sookie meet Niall her great, great grandfather?

Marsha November 8, 2010 at 1:00 pm

I realize that everyone says Bill betrayed Sookie, but really he did protect her thru-out the 3 seasons. Yes he was sent there to get her for the Queen, but he didn’t. He protected her from everything, as best as he could. He even broke up with her to protect her from Russell – dedicating himself to the King so he would keep looking for Sookie. It all backfired when he went to her to warn her to leave. Even tho he didn’t tell her why he returned to Bon Temps, or that he let her get beaten up so she would drink his blood – he is infact a vampire after all. It is in their nature. Considering that he is a vampire, I think he did quite good at loving her and protecting her. To me it seems Eric is more facinated with her abilities, because it doesn’t seem they have been together enough to fall in love yet.
Just my opinion. I LOVE this show – I didn’t get into it till all 3 seasons were done! I had to rent them all.
Cheers.

Antonio el lobo November 20, 2010 at 9:51 am

Good Point! They may have just “touched upon” the Fae world. However I do not think they were in a “limbo” but maybe experienced a glimpse of the Faeland. Bill BTW DID come up through a “doorway” into Faeland! I Still dont know whaat That signifies! It seems that AB has made the Fae to be More mysterious, Extra-terrestrial like…from a distant realm.
In the books…Claudine is more like a guardian…a bodyguard who can kick butt for Sook. I hope that key parts of books 4 and 5 are Not thrown out just to give more time to Sookies “abduction”! BTW in Book 4 its Jason who is abducted…NOT Sookie!

jaxx November 20, 2010 at 5:52 pm

Antonio, that’s exactly why I don’t think they are in the true fae world yet, more like in between worlds. In the books at least, there is a portal between worlds, you are either in one world or the other. It seems in TB, AB is using an in between spot because when they had to flee quickly to return to the true fae world, they all had to jump in the pond which is the portal. I don’t think Bill or any other vampire would have been allowed in the true fae world. Where Bill and Sookie were is somewhere other than the fae world.

Antonio el lobo November 20, 2010 at 10:08 am

Hello..Welcome! I Like your screenname…Dead To the World is 1 of my Favorite Books! Its just SO Good! Yes Bill Is Gone for Most of it…But there is Plenty to keep Sooks occupied in the meantime! The Amnesiac Eric Storyline is just SO much Fun!!
its Strange and yet Touching as well! As Many whove read This book can tell You, Eric is a better “Man” when he is cursed and loses his memory! Hes Much MORE Caring,Compassionate,Kind and Intensely passionate..Ladies You KNOW What I’m talking about! LOL
There is Also a developing “relationship” with Alcide. Alcide and Sookie Really Like each other…in fact at 1 point in the book,She “daydreams” about how Nice it would be if she Were His GF. For Some reason she develops a deep emotional bond with Eric and finds Alcide hard to resist! Thats a LOT goin On!!
Bill Does come back at the end of book 4 and he IS in Book 5
But he seems aloof and distant..except for a twinge of jealousy
when Sookie is asked to put up a vampire named Charles
The books Are Wonderful! The show is good too.
