Not really possible. 60% of the books is Sookie's thought processes. Shows with heavy voiceover narrative tend to be pretty boring. Also, since they are doing the show from multiple perspectives, they need to fill in all those blanks about how the other characters get where they wind up later in the story.

Laughed when the king busted out his cigars and quoted Kipling about women and cigars.

Loved the cigar smoking scene the week before last.

You could tell that the king was an actual cigar smoker, while Bill was not. Just look at how each of them was holding the cigar. You could see how uncomfortable Bill was. And the king actually knew how to light it. LOL

The wife and I love this show.

We're catching up with the previous seasons, too. We're halfway through season 2 now.

Or just good acting (e.g., Bill was acting as if he wasn't really a cigar smoker).

I've never read the books, so the twists and turns of HBO's True Blood, keep me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to see if/when/how Eric gets his Vikings revenge! Also, what's with Sokkie's new power? Is that in the books?

She is a Fairy.

Should probably give spoiler warnings before posting things like that. They've changed a number of things from the books, but still.

Wolfgang · 07-19-2010, 06:40 PM

the same POWER happened in season two.

I love this show..saw every episode and cant wait til the next..i think eric and bill are gonna end up taking over somehow

ade06 · 07-20-2010, 11:12 AM

I thought that HBO did a great job of ending The Wire. I hope True Blood goes for at least 5 seasons as well.

Brutus2600 · 08-20-2010, 11:29 PM

Just caught up and watched the last three episodes.

Great storyline...really enjoying it. The fight between Sookie and the werewolf chick was utterly idiotic though. I literally was laughing out loud at how ridiculous it looked.

I love this show.. but I really think Anna Paquin is a terrible actress. Favorite characters are Eric, Russell, and the red headed vampire, I forgot her name.

Yes!

This weeks show was good.... Eric can't die!

mosesbotbol · 08-31-2010, 10:03 AM

I like True Blood better than Sopranos.

Wolfgang · 08-31-2010, 10:06 AM

It is impossible for the plot (of the books) to continue without Eric.

Im just pissed I have to wait two weeks for the finale.

No sh*t, all the HBO shows do this....I don't think there is enough hype to warrant the extra week off for any show, it ain't the friggin' Super Bowl.

I havnt read the books. I bet Bill feeds Sooki, then she runs out with a silver chain or something to tie up Russell and Eric is saved...

Hell, she could just stake him and pull Eric back inside.

HBO usually breaks for holiday weekends.

That would be fine with me, as much as I have enjoyed Russell, Eric is the better of the two in my book@
