I like the show a lot but wish they would keep it closer to the books

Not really possible. 60% of the books is Sookie's thought processes. Shows with heavy voiceover narrative tend to be pretty boring. Also, since they are doing the show from multiple perspectives, they need to fill in all those blanks about how the other characters get where they wind up later in the story.

Laughed when the king busted out his cigars and quoted Kipling about women and cigars.

Loved the cigar smoking scene the week before last.

You could tell that the king was an actual cigar smoker, while Bill was not. Just look at how each of them was holding the cigar. You could see how uncomfortable Bill was. And the king actually knew how to light it. LOL

The wife and I love this show. :-) We're catching up with the previous seasons, too. We're halfway through season 2 now.

Or just good acting (e.g., Bill was acting as if he wasn't really a cigar smoker).

I've never read the books, so the twists and turns of HBO's True Blood, keep me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to see if/when/how Eric gets his Vikings revenge! Also, what's with Sokkie's new power? Is that in the books?

She is a Fairy.

Should probably give spoiler warnings before posting things like that. They've changed a number of things from the books, but still.

the same POWER happened in season two.

Yup, she used it on Marianne.

HBO is really good about ending a show when it is done. Think Six Feet Under for example. They could have easily scripted a few more seasons out of it. I really wish I could have seen the end of Deadwood and Carnival though. Apparently both were just far too expensive to produce. Oh well.
[Reply]

Yup, I am still miffed with the way Deadwood left us hanging. :-)
[Reply]

Me too, but it could have been worse. The way they decided to end Rome was to shove 3 seasons worth of story line into two episodes. Horrible.
[Reply]

I thought that HBO did a great job of ending The Wire. I hope True Blood goes for at least 5 seasons as well.
[Reply]

I'm with you. I thought I heard that the final episodes were to appear on-line, but I never saw anything.

Originally Milch said there would be two 3 hour movies, made for HBO, that would wrap up the series. Then he got more interested in "John From Cincinnati".

One of the greatest lines

"Say Hello to the true DEATH"

Just caught up and watched the last three episodes.

Great storyline...really enjoying it. The fight between Sookie and the werewolf chick was utterly idiotic though. I literally was laughing out loud at how ridiculous it looked.

I love this show.. but I really think Anna Paquin is a terrible actress. Favorite characters are Eric, Russell, and the red headed vampire, I forgot her name.
