Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I liked where season 2 ended up eventually (almost everybody in Bon Temps going batshit crazy), mainly because it gave us the Jason, Andy and Sam show for a while there, but there was way too much rinse, later, repeat of orgy/decedance scenes leading up to it. I know they were trying to show it as a decline over a period of time (sort of like out of a Stephen King novel) but it just didn't work. I was basically sitting there saying "Just ascend already!" to Marianne.

ha! gotta love Buffy fans. The in-jokes keep on giving.

This is the point where I said: "this has got to be a dream." Bill does not say that.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
have you read the books, ita? if not, i recommend them. even more so than the show. book!Sookie is much less of a damsel in distress and is generally more likeable. not sure why Alan has gone the route with her that he has. i guess he likes his women whiny, holier than thou and constantly in need of a man to save her.

Compassionately intolerant
Interestingly, the audiobooks interpret Sookie as exactly as whiny as the tv show. There are loads of other differences, but the woman who reads the books makes her sound, well...unpleasant.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Book Sookie is far too vain and obsessed with playing dress-up for me to like her. Anna Paquin's version sometimes makes me roll my eyes with her naïveté, but I'm not usually rooting for the supernatural creatures to eat her.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire
I enjoy the books (I've only read the first two so far), but I LOVE the tv series, and a lot of it is because of the changes they've made from the books. Making Lafayette a significant character, giving Sookie a fried to talk to (she feels very isolated to me in the books), the addition of Jessica (at the end of season one, I honestly thought I would detest her storyline, and I couldn't have been more wrong!), fleshing out Jason (Hee! See what I did there?)
I'm a little afraid to read further into the series because I don't want to get spoiled for anything on the show (despite the fact that the show is VERY different).
