Yeah I got that in the ep.
I must say the tv show does not have me pining for the books.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

One thing I'm absolutely hating in the tv series is the use of guns against vampires. I don't care if they have wooden bullets, vampires are insanely fast and can just run away before a human even pulls the trigger. That's been used twice this season already. First with the queen and then with Tara threatening Pam. I have no clue why the queen just stood there and allowed herself to get shot.
I loved this line from the TWoP recap:
At which point Tara and Jesus storm Fangtasia! to save him, promise to hand over Marnie within 24 hours, and then Tara and Pam basically turn to the camera and scream at you, "We are going to do it with each other pretty soon!"
And wow, what does Alan Ball have against fairies? He totally destroyed that storyline!
le nubian - the books are completely different from the series. I'd recommend reading them after the series ends. I read them between the 3rd and 4th seasons and I find myself yelling at the show a lot more now than I did before. They really are a lot of fun. Just a fun, light read if you can get past the first book (which suffers from being too much like the tv show).

did anyone else notice that Sookie was reading a book by Charlaine Harris when she was waiting for Eric? I was kind of amused by that.

In the book - panther thing:
Jason was captured and tortured for a very long time by a were-panther who hated him because he thought that Jason took Crystal from him. There was no plant to make him a panther to have little panther babies because that's not the way the shifting stuff works in book-verse What Jason becomes is a weird partial panther thing not an actual panther. He did get kidnapped in the book where Eric winds up as Sookie's amnesiac guest.

I saw the Harris book Sookie was reading and kept going back to try and see the cover. I don't think it was a Sookie!book...I hate to say it but, I recognize all those covers.
It was a cute moment. Made me think of the old 'subliminal advertising' stuff from the 70s.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That interview is about the latest book, so way spoilery for the series, BTW.

I did not read the interview, so thank you for that, ita.
