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.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
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?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
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.

Maybe Sophie-Anne likes Bill so much because he's as batshit crazy as she is?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
is she crazy though? From the TV series, I'm not ready to conclude that.

I would be happy with a Pam/Eric/Lafayette show, but I'd be happier if Jessica and Hoyt were part of that show too!
Now that the season is over, I decided to continue on with the books. I finished Club Dead last night and there are two things I NEED to see. 1) Bubba. (preferably played by Bruce Campbell) and 2) Sookie and Tara's "Love is a Battlefied" dance. That was a hoot in the book!
