UM. I WAS GOING TO DO SOME FLIST CATCH UP AND I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE GO TO BED EARLY FOR ONCE, BUT THIS IS CLEARLY MORE IMPORTANT! (My response is going to be ridiculously long, btw.)
lol when you put the caps together like that he looks he's giving Sookie the thumbs up for potentially hooking up with Eric.
Oh, this is totally what it was! Jason going, "GO SOOKIE! He's way better than Bill!" (Ha, now I want to see Jason and Sookie discuss Eric!)
And I love the look of sheer joy on his face. SO MUCH.
You know, I don't think I fully noticed this on the show, but YES. Blood-sucking is still an erotic thing for them. Oh, Eric!
Not that sucking on his chest isn't sexy, but still...that was not the point of the scene.
Yeeeeah. I think that was another thing I was disappointed in. I expected it to be more sexy. I guess that would be hard to pull off because sucking someone's blood is kind of gross . . . but it seemed sexy in the books!
What's also amusing is that she's not really that mad at him here because it's so far in the future
HEE. I just love that she even remembers it! It seems like such a couple-ly thing, you know? Like "I knew he was lying way back when!" Years in the future, she'll still be bringing it up. ;)
Oh the sarcasm here, this is book!Eric almost exactly. I love it so much.
RIGHT? MORE OF THIS, PLEASE! (Well, he can be emo about Gordric for a while, then back to this Eric!)
Like if I met a supermodel who was an asshole, I may hate him, but I couldn't deny that he was attractive.
That's what I keep coming back to. She just comes off as silly when she says Eric isn't attractive. WE KNOW BETTER, SOOKIE!
do you think it's possible that Bill manipulated the situation in the pilot so Sookie would need to drink his blood?
You're right, it's a horrible thought, but . . . I could see it. Not the whole thing, of course, but when he saw the opportunity . . . well, it's a very useful thing.
I think that's what is going to cause the Bill/Sookie breakup that is inevitably coming. (I think they might move up that plot point.)
Do you think they might do that this season? It might be nice to end the season with that and then open s3 with Sookie being single.
And on the show (which is only on s2!) they've already brought it up at least that many times already. Odd...
I still think it's weird it doesn't come up more often in the books. I mean, I know we have enough of the "make me a vampire!" angst with Bella, but maybe Sookie should've brought it up earlier. But then it kinda seems like people don't really ask to become vampires (in the books). Actually, how does that work, now that vampires are out in the open? I can't think the public would exactly be okay with people turning into vampires!
this is her "ideal" version of Eric. It's like she's just seeing the "good" part of him (which is only half of him).
I think that makes it more interesting! Both that she has an ideal version of him and . . . I can't think this is what she thought would happen when Bill told her she was maybe going to be sexually attracted to Eric. I don't think she expected so much ~emotion to be involved.
(HAHA. OOPS. I KINDA OF WROTE LIKE TWICE AS MUCH AS LJ COMMENTS ALLOW? IT'S ERIC'S FAULT! PART 2 NEXT!)
(Well, he can be emo about Gordric for a while, then back to this Eric!) I'm curious to see how he'll be in the next couple of episodes actually. I mean, I'm sure he'll be privately emo, but around others he might be even more BAMF than usual. He might just be really angry because he's going through so much pain. The whole thing is really new territory because Eric in the books never went through anything like this.
Do you think they might do that this season? It might be nice to end the season with that and then open s3 with Sookie being single. I'm not sure if Sookie will find out about it this season but I feel like it's going to be brought up. I think I heard Bill (and I guess Eric too?) might go to the Queen because of the Maryanne fiasco getting so out of hand. I'm not really sure though, but I guess that would be a plausible reason. If the supernatural world is going that completely insane you would think The Queen would have to step in in some capacity. And then maybe while they're there something about Sookie will come up. lol, I mean Hadley is still alive and she'll be there! Sookie has to be at least mentioned. Then if the Queen and Bill are there and Sookie is mentioned...I can see Sofie Anne at least alluding to Bill's "mission". Which would make Eric very "WTF?!" He'd be curious as hell and pissed that he doesn't know more. I'm sure he would make it his top priority to find out wtf is going on and then to make Bill confess all when he does find out. Inevitably causing Bill/Sookie to break up. Because really, that all happened in some way in the books we just ever saw any of it because Sookie wasn't around.
Actually, how does that work, now that vampires are out in the open? I can't think the public would exactly be okay with people turning into vampires! In this world you would think more people would actually want to become vampires. Like that would be a "thing". The chance of "immortality"? People would go insane about that possibility. I'm reminded of that episode of Buffy and that cult of people that all wanted to be vamps.
Yeah, I could see that. Eric's not the moping type, but you know it's going to have an affect on him.
I'm sure he would make it his top priority to find out wtf is going on and then to make Bill confess all when he does find out.
Oooh, that would be good. And hopefully they'd make a point of showing that it's because Eric cares about Sookie now. I mean, in the books, when it happened, Sookie/Bill had already broken up, so Eric made Bill tell her because he thought she should know, not to break them up. I hope that's still an element in what ever happens. Eric telling Sookie because he genuinely thinks she should know (and then taking advantage of it, as he's wont to do).
And even more so than that Buffy ep since you don't have to lose your soul to become one! Now I really want to see this brought up.
I think Eric saw the whole thing with The Queen as a personal insult because 1) He should have known about any kind of vampire politics going on in his area 2) It's a huge insult to Sookie
He might even take it like "You have to know because it's not right, I'm fricken pissed and you should be too!"
I think knowing that this could break them up would be the silver lining though. Because even in the books Sookie said, "Well isn't a part of why you made him tell me because you wanted to make sure I'd never get back together with him?" and he was like "Yes, that was part of it".
