...and I'm really pissed and I feel cheated! I do love Alan Ball for creating True Blood and for the cast and for making it one of the best shows ever! I've seen every episode out so far and I've seen Season 1 and 2 at least twice. Apart from that I read all the Sookie Stackhouse books from the lovely and talented Charlaine Harris. So I can consider myself a little mature fangirl.
I adore adore AdOre! This poster,
I would love to hang it in my office but ..
well my workmates are just lame!
So I have at as Desktop background and on my iPad.
True Blood is undeniable different from the books, although they try to take the essence of the books and stay true to them. I don't mind the changes, no - not at all! I'm happy that all the secondary characters have so much more story and appearance than in the books. I'm happy that Lafayette didn't die at the end of Season 1, because Lafayette is an awesome funny and a great character. I love that Bill had to create Jessica since she's a great addition to the show!
this just serves the
purpose to pretty up my post...
I waited anxiously for the start of Season 3 and I loved the first episodes! Russel is awesome and I laughed my ass of my ass of Franklin and Tara. How hilarious!!! I like the sidestory with Eric and learn more about his backstory. But hey, I do love everything about Eric....
Would you please come in Mr Northman?
Ok now, why I am so pissed at the last episode after I declared my love so clearly?
I'm talking about Episode 30 I got It Right Into The Blues. I was excited about to see this because I read the books and I knew (at least I thought I knew *frowns*) what was coming... As I said I don't need them to stick perfectly with the books, still it would be nice to let the importance scenes in... *frowns more*.
But after watching - I was and felt so freaking cheated! Sookie is at the King's house and needs to get out there and help Bill to escape. So far everything is right. Now comes the change..: Since Tara is also held hostage from Franklin ( *giggles*) in the same house, Tara drinks Franklins Blood to be strong enough to rescue herself and Sookie. Hu?!?!?!?!?!
Yes, it was Tara who helped Sookie to flee. Tara?!! What the Fuck?!!?! This is where I couldn't believe it ...
In Club Dead, the third book we have the same circumstances, Sookie is in Russels house and needs someone to help her to flee. But, it was ERIC.fucking.Northman who helped her and even more he gave her his blood so that she has enough strengh to flee and even rescue Bill. And *takes a deep breath* it was one of the hottest and sweetest scenes between Eric and Sookie so far.
I even looked it up in the book, just so that I didn't dream that:
Club Dead
Paperback
Chapter 10
page 188 - 189
He carefully eased me up against him, my chest to his back, and wrapped his arms around me.(...) Then she starts drinking... (...) Eric moaned, and I could tell quickly that he was once again pleased to be in such close contact. (...) Eric pressed against me harder, and suddenly he said "Ohhhh" and relaxed all over.
I wanted to see this! Not Tara rescuing Sookie! I wanted to see Sookie drinking Eric's blood and him getting excited about this. I even think it was important to show how Eric feels about Sookie. Yeah , I know we get all his daydreams about her and his weird acting and pretending he doesn't care about her makes sense and doesn't really bother me. But I wanted to see THIS. I mean, obviously (if you follow the books) Eric and Sookie will get together. They cannot change that, or will they??? I'm afraid now.
I might overreact a bit, but really I felt really REALLY (like really really) cheated. I so badly wanted to see this interaction with Eric and Sookie and I didn't get it. *shakes head in frustration*
How is it for you?
Did you read the books and can feel my anger over this?
Or do you just watch the show and care more about *cough* Bill?
Logging you in...

But you're right of course :) And Franklin plus Russel are so deliciously evil that it makes the whole "detour" a little easier to take, doesn't it? ;)

Really, it normally doesn't bother me either that they change so much and even brought up already the WerePanther, totally fine with me but some things - crucial things should be in...
I can't wait for Season 4, I desperately hope to get what we all wish for!! Endless Eric and Sookie scenes.
But this is why I'm also so afraid, I hope they let them get together. Whole Book 4 is based on Eric's interest in Sookie, they can't cut that out...

p.s. Danny, do me a favor, fix the first word in my comment, it should be "first". drives me crazy ;)

DAMMMIT! i'm pissed that they didn't show it. BOOOOOOOOOO! i'm really trying hard to separate the books from the show - because they just aren't the same. really, in anyway. it's more like, "oh! Wow, that part was like that book!" more often than not it has it's own story line and agenda.

Normally I'm fine with seperating the books and the show. They have to do that since the book is only told from SookiesPOV but they need much more than just her part of the story.
But please SOME things need to stay true to the books, like the tension between Eric and Sookie!!!
You know that you can always watch them without having HBO, well I obviously don't have it, I couldn't even if I want. So just tell me and I can tell you where you can see it :)

In my eyes of course I wanted to see that scene, but as I said, I gave up long ago that AB will make True Blood as romantic as the books were to me. ( I mean the developing relationship with Eric/Sookie).
But, yes... that scene would have been something else to have watched on the big screen in HD. :)

I've given up comparing the show to the book. Jessica is not in the book and she is a great character. Lafayette was supposed to be killed off, but luckily he is still around. Tara did not have a big role in the books, and I think they should have stuck to that.

I cannot wait to see where this season is going. I haven't read any of the books yet, only because I don't like my seasons ruined. (I'll be reading 1 &2 soon though.)

I wish they had stayed more faithful to canon with the Eric/Sookie relationship. It's deliciously drawn out in the books. And really, isn't Bill basically history after the third book. I wish they would axe him. I really really dislike Bill/Stephen moyer.
They are totally taking liberties that I don't like. Especially with the wolves. They did not have that relationship with russell in the books, did they? They really are skeezy. I was excited about Alcide, but that's not really turning out to even resemble how it goes in the books.
And please, Jason? Could he be any bigger of an idiot? Sure he's hot as a baker, but I just want to fast forward through anything with him lately.
The changes with Lafayette and Tara aren't so bad, I can suspend canon faithfulness for them, but not with Sam. His story line is just soooo far away, i just can't see what that has to do with anything. He's another one who's role expanded when AB realized he was a fan magnet. He is kind of cute.

OK, on to True Blood. I agree, I was a bit shocked too. I rememer the betrayal I felt in this book. This was the episode that really changed things for characters. It seemed so anti-climatic. Also the revealing of Claudine and Sookie's lineage felt a bit shortchanged to me. I am wondering how far the Sookie and Eric thing will go. Maybe they don't really have any on screen chemistry (at least with Moyer watching-akward)
I have to say though....alecide herveau oh baby. yummy.
