She's so hot. I wanna do bad, bad things to that 'dirty little whore'... she may bite my neck, but only a little bit.

We are in the middle of season 2 rental as we don't have HBO anymore. Loving it, grabbed me right back. I am delighted that LaFayette was OK, and enjoying the addition of the Sonny/Solita woman (I should remember her name, I have seen her enough times!!!).

Ya, they packaged it up here with Shotime and some other stuff we did not want.
We get Blockbuster online which is a good deal, all you can watch for $20 a month.

Michelle Forbes. I love her. Definitely one of my favorite GL alums. She's got an impressive body of work, and I'm always happy to see her in something (or hear that I'm going to...).

Right, I have seen her so many times and she is good. Just that she plays such a witch in this series, but a good addition to the cast. I can hardly wait until Sookie and the crew take down the sun worship church!

Yeah, I guess i will read about it as I am sure I will forget the spoilers by the time I get to rent it. Have to say it is kind of fun watching it in a marathon. Waiting for Dexter after this one.

It's funny.......I forget most of the spoilers I read too unless they're really critical like someone dying or something. Watching something on dvd or in a marathon is the best. You get so spoiled.

When does the new season of Dexter start? I read that Michael whats-his-name is cancer free now. Hope that's true!

Yes, Michael C. Hall is reportedly healthy now... hope that remains the case.

Dexter starts September 26th. Julia Stiles is going to be around all of this season...

September seems so far away at this point although I know it will be here before you know it. I can't believe it's' June already.

LOVE Julia Stiles. Do you know who she'll be playing.....what kind of character? That's cool!

The spoiler I did not forget is that Dex's wife was killed off this season! I am not telling my hsb though. I couldn't stand her so I am not sorry!

Really glad Hall is doing well, I like him a lot.

Not long before True Blood starts...and as much as I love the vamps, I'm loving the wolves too. I haven't seen any spoilers yet but from what I remember with the books...this might be the season of the Sookie/Eric luv...least I hope so anyway.

I watched the show this morning ...don't know why but it left me feeling a little bored. I think I may be mixing up things that happen in the book and what's happening in the show which is confusing me so that didn't help.

Like the full naked view of Eric-shame he didn't turn around. Did not care for the dream Sam had about Bill...thought is was strange and came out of no-where. But after some thought....didn't Bill give sam some of his blood last season? If so and I'm not remembering wrong- I think sookie had hot sexy dreams after she drank Eric's blood. So maybe that's why Sam was so hot for Bill.

I wish I had save it...have to re-record it but did I hear Eric on the phone yelling at someone and saying HE ordered Bill kidnapped? I didn't remember it like that in the book...but I've got so many different vamp storied on the brain...maybe I'm confusing them.

The previews for next week sure looked good so I'm looking forward to that.

Yeah the books are only tangentially related to the show plots. I wouldn't expect a close parallel. For starters, the whole V focus is much more prominent on the show (and the one weakness compared to the books, imo).

I will reserve judgment...but I LOVED Alcide and the Weres in the books, and I'm not pleased with the promo descriptions of the pack. It better not have been Weres in the car with Bill.....

For some reason Bill looked way hotter this season. Did they adjust his makeup and is he working out more? mmmmmmmm......

If this season follows Book 3 at all....a certain minor character will be sorely missed. I know Bell has said he's not going there, and I agree with his reasoning.....but......

The gore factor needs to be balanced with more of the fun/silly novel stuff. The tone of S1-2-3 is closer to the book tone of later novels.....

yeah I really liked the wolves in the book too. For some reason, was it in the books? I thought that someone in charge in another parish kidnapped Bill and that Eric sent Alcide to watch over Sookie because of it. I didn't think the wolves had anything to do with it.
Actually the guys in the car...if they were wolves..would they get high off the vamp blood? I thought only humans did that. And would they have died so easy in the car wreck?
Guess we'll learn more next week.

I don't know about Bill because I couldn't take my eyes off of ERIC!!! Holy crap, that scene with Sookie walking down the stairs to find him banging the hell out of that dancer. I need ice to cool me down please!!!

I hope Tara doesn't remain this much of a downer the entire season. I watched that little pre-show thingie. It is SOOO weird to see Jason talking with an English accent. I know Stephen Moyer is British but Jason just seems so......Southern. Good actor!

This show is so great......the previews look fantastic. :clap:

Theo Alexander -- Talbot
James Frain -- Franklin Mott

--

I liked the premiere, even though neither Sookie nor Jessica were naked.

lexilani >> thought it was strange and came out of nowhere. But after some thought....didn't Bill give Sam some of his blood last season?

Yes. (Bill mentioned the giving-of-blood to Sam early on in the fantasy, too, to remind us...)

>> I think sookie had hot sexy dreams after she drank Eric's blood. So maybe that's why Sam was so hot for Bill.

Also correct. Problematic side-effect of drinking a vampire's blood.

>> I wish I had save it...have to re-record it but did I hear Eric on the phone yelling at someone and saying HE ordered Bill kidnapped?

That's true (on the show - I can't speak to the book), but his underling on the phone was NOT one of the guys that DID kidnap Bill (they were too late, those dudes in the truck had already beaten them to it).

Thanks Dax...sometimes with 4 dogs running around I miss a few things and I didn't hear Bill mention it during the dream. I do find myself rewinding alot unless I watch late at night when they are all asleep.

ahhh...ok so then Eric did want his people to get Bill but they didn't do it. I thought he was yelling cuz they botch it up and let him get away. In the previews with the wolves chasing and fighting Bill...that makes it seem that it wolves that snatched him.

Minor book spoiler alert...




*****




Okay, so Sam's brother is a totally new story. That wasn't in the books at all. In fact, I don't think Sam looks for his family until later in the series, and when he does, the focus is on what happens when the Shifters and Weres finally "come out" of the closet, promted by the Vamps - who want some of the heat taken off them as the only "supes" around.

Sookie sees a tattoo on the dead guy in the truck, and somehow (google?) links it to a 'project werewolf'' (that was the term, wasn't it?')... I'm not taking that as confirmation that the kidnappers ARE wolves, just that it's... related somehow..

Bill's wandered around a bit, spent a bit of time at the lady's in Mississippi... I'm not sure that the pack that has him surrounded at the end is related to the kidnapping or not. But Bill seemed to express some alarm about BEING in Mississippi..

Being in Mississippi means he's out of his queen's territory. Maybe that in itself is enough to freak him out. The vamp "shadow govt" is murky at best in the books so it will be interesting to see how ball and Co play with that on True Blood.

BTW - TWoP states emphatically that Bill's kidnappers were Weres. :( Do they know something beyond what was in the episode?

I know what u mean about the tattoo might not really mean the wolves had him...it could also stand for a gang that hunts them and vamps too. KMI...that territory/king/Queen stuff in the books was muddled, at least for me it was.

Did anyone see a preview with Bill telling Sookie not to look for him? That he doesn't want to be "found"? If it was just the weres that had him...why would he feel that way? Wouldn't he just tell Sookie to get Eric and some other vamps to help him? Or was all that just the recap of what had happened BEFORE the show returned? I'm so confused lol

That (Bill telling Sookie not to look for him) is in previews (and for the season, not necessarily this Sunday's show - maybe the scene IS in #2, but I'm not sure...), not recap.
