Woo! That is excellent news.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Because books.
Seems like bold words, but I guess they're basing it on the extremely vocal and appreciative fandom that came with the first season.

Even if they aren't able to follow through for ratings reasons or whatever, I like that that is the attitude going in.

Oh, me too, absolutely.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Okay, so forgive me for having a cynical view of love, but has it occurred to Sookie that Eric may not really "love" her, but that he is attracted to her elven blood and the way she smells? I don't buy, as depicted on screen, their "love affair." I might buy it from her perspective (but not really). I definitely don't buy it from his.
He doesn't have a memory, so does he know what love is?
Am I just a grump?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
I don't think Sookie thinks Eric loves her. he's never told her that. he just told Bill. she's just been fighting her attraction to him for years and now that he's turned into this sweet, tortured vampire she's finally giving in.
I don't know why you'd need a memory to know what love is. love isn't really about memories. it's about feelings.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, I don't think you need a memory to fall in love. I think he's fallen for what he's seen of her since he woke up funny, and I guess an argument may be made that it's soon for that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
but aren't feelings based in something more than 1 week's acquaintance? I think "love" involves really knowing a person. Eric can't claim that about Sookie, can he?

Love at first sight is a very oft-used trope.

that was NOT right. At all. I'm in a huff.
