in all fairness, in small town Louisiana, she is.
Oh, I'm not doubting that being broad-minded is a rarity and virtue in small town redneckville. But the way that Harris coyly hammers home with anvils (writing in the first person, so it's the character's self-assessment) how gosh darned broad-minded and tolerant little Sookie is just makes me want to stab someone.
However, I have (after a couple of years) ventured into reading some more of the books, and I think that the prose gets less irritating. I don't think Harris is a bad storyteller, and her prose isn't anything remotely approaching the awfulness of Laurell K Hamilton's writing or characterisation.
I'm laughing my ass off at the Enquirer headline on True Blood.
Is Tara a compulsive lier or does she just say stuff to get a reaction from people?
And Bill's accent is much better this episode.
I don't think that Bill killed the Ratrays--if they were dealing v-juice, I suspect that the same vamp that killed Maudette probably took them out, too. But there has to be a misdirection, I suppose.
Jason's not really bright, is he?
Well, he was
justified
because they were hurting Sookie.
I think that the dog is another vampire who can change form.
I couldn't decide to be amused or disgusted when Jason pointed at himself in the mirror when he was having sex with that girl.
I chose disgusted, Vortex. That boy doesn't have a lot of redeeming qualities.
I'm wondering about Bill inviting Sookie over if those unsavory vamps would be there. I'm totally hooked into what's going on now.

I have a theory about the dog:
- The dog seems to want to look out for Sookie
- the dog does not like Bill
- there is a picture a very similar looking dog over Sam's desk
- it took waaay too long for Sam to run from the bar, out into the parking lot when Sookie took off after the Ratrays...but the dog was there the whole time
- Sookie does not hear Sam...of her own volition?
- Sam said, "It must be very relaxing for you to not be able to hear the vampire
- Then, when Sookie refused to listen to his thoughts he said,"You might be surprised by what you hear."
Therefore: Sam is the dog.
I was bummed, by my research into this theory, to discover that Sam is
only in 4 episodes.
I like him.

well, maybe he had uninvited guests.
Sookie does not hear Sam...of her own volition?
Sookie has heard him before. He kept thinking how much he loved her.
I noticed the dog guarding the sleeping girl in the painting in Sam's office, too. I wondered if it had significance.
I also thought it took waaaay too long for Sam to find Sookie when she saved Bill from the Ratrays.
I'm not looking at spoilers but I'm tempted.
