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.

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).

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
that is interesting, bonny. i was surprised reading the books how non-whiny she is. i wasn't expecting to like her.
completely agree about Lafayette, Rayne. i was disappointed when i read the books that he was killed and he also was never really utilized the way they have used him in the show. he's definitely one of my favorite characters.
as for not wanting to read ahead, i understand, but i really don't think you'll have to worry about being spoiled. just look at book two and season two. very few things were the same. season three actually seems to be pulling in stuff from books three and four too. (maybe even more.)

I JUST came over here to pimp that. (Heh.)
It's not good, yet it is awesome just by existing.
Oh, Snoop. I love you.

No comment on tonight's Trueblood?
I'm amazed.

Some of us may have been watching the Leverage premiere. I know I was.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I totally enjoyed True Blood tonight! Interesting developments. I don't know that I like that they are making all weres out to be V addicts, though.
And who took Jessica's corpse ?

Cashmere, I'm pretty sure Pam took the corpse. She could be playing mentor to Jessica and was the only one to know about it, I think.
My question is, did Sam's brother set him up to get hit by the truck? Or was that about Sam learning that shifters can take on more than one shape ?
Nice to see Godric again. It would be nice for that trend to continue.
I must, once again state, I heart me some Lafayette. Oh, and Terry too.
My biggest chuckle was, "I ain't that blond."
