Jason loves a damsel in distress, and does a lot of stupid shit for/because of women. It's exactly the kind of situation that he would get wrapped up in because he's an idiot and has a greatly exaggerated sense of his own competence because he's gotten lucky a few times.

Hot Shot was way more interesting in the books.

i'm beginning to get apathetic about the show. i basically only care about Eric, Pam and Lafayette and even the latter's storyline was doing little to entertain me.

let's have a Eric/Pam spinoff show! Sookie can come, but only if she shows more of the badassery we got a glimpse of in the finale.

but only if she shows more of the badassery we got a glimpse of in the finale.

Unfortunately, her badassery is often accompanied/a direct result of her stupidity.

Although I greatly enjoyed her negotiation with Russell.

No Humans Involved (that's a really gross expression, actually, used in the old days by cops about crimes on junkies and prostitutes and such...people who don't count...some probably still say it, but they are not supposed to. You can just stuff them in the bottom of your mental file drawer, basically. It makes me feel like a horrible person thinking that, but that show has given me no reason to ever think even those pitiful children in Hot Shot will ever be worth a crap, no matter what Jason does. If we are supposed to care, they should have humanized more than Crystal, cause she's cute.

ITA, tiggy! We might need to keep Bill around so Pam can complain about him messing up her hair. Without other storylines taking up screentime, I'm betting the Lafayette and Jesus witchery could be a lot more fun.

no Bill allowed! i'd stake him myself if it were possible. i really didn't like the character in the book, but they've managed to make him even MORE unlikeable.

Oh, if Pam stakes him and then occasionally reminisces about staking him, I think I'd be satisfied.

How is that possible?

not sure, le nub. Alan Ball has a special talent.

So can someone explain to me as observers and readers what we are supposed to believe about Bill?

1) he is a pretty solid rat-bastard. This is established.

2) did he really feel remorse over his behavior with his maker?

3) if he did, then what explains his involvement with Sookie?

I mean, does he regret rampages, but still likes power? I get gray, but Eric seems gray to me and who has motivations I at least understand. Pam, too. Bill's are incredibly puzzling to me.
