I can't believe I'm only going to do one more of these until next year!

The confusion over Lafayette suddenly claiming Eric's blood gives him sex dreams simply has to boil down to bad writing. This show is FULL of it. It'd be one thing if their writers coordinated ever, and they had some kind of plans for what they want to do over the season, but anything seems to go on this show, and it's obvious when the two main characters act completely different from one episode to the next. Just because it's set in a fantastic world doesn't mean their shouldn't be some cohesion, y'know?

You know she was like "Ok, it's time to stop being sad and start being awesome instead! Go put on a suit like the GQMF that you are and I'll wear something sparkly and it'll be fabulous!" This is TOTALLY something Pammy would say. And Alex completely gets everything about his character, so that quote was no surprise. He's also one of the very few characters who can somehow manage to remain consistent through this show, even with all the fucked up writing.

I do wonder how Eric knew about Bill, but Eric's always given the impression in the books that he knew a lot and kept his cards close to his chest. Come to think of it, ALL the vamps do (Bill's big lie, Sophie-Anne's drama and murderin', etc.).

I agree about the Sophie-Anne/Hadley relationship. It was portrayed in the books as being pretty epic, in the ways you mentioned. The emotion over watching her murder again, Hadley being completely distraught over the Queen's arranged marriage, etc. I'm not sure why they've introduced her so early, but I guess it'll play out later. The Queen's too early also, but whatever.

On a lighter note, did you see the summary for Book 10? Charlaine completed it this week, huzzah! And addresses Eric's real maker, huzzah!

I think it's especially hard with this show since there are so many "crazy" elements to it, so you definitely have to sit down and be like "WAIT? DOES THIS EVEN MAKE SENSE?"

I think maybe it would have been more interesting if they said that the blood just intensified feelings that were already there. Like in whatever way you just felt more strongly connected. So Lafayette would just be haunted by Eric and always have him in his thoughts but in a more "scary" way considering their history. And Sookie would have sex dreams because...lol, she secretly thought he was hot.

Oh defintiely. I have no doubt Eric always has a hidden agenda, but I can't even think of a way (besides talking to Sookie directly) that he would ever know that. lol

I kind of like that they've introduced The Queen and Hadley so early. Maybe next season we'll get to see a bit of their relationship and how it eventually ended. I always really liked that storyline. By introducing them early we could actually see the story that we only heard about in the books after the fact.

I did! I'm so excited! Now I feel like Eric's real maker has all of this stuff to live up to because Godric was so awesome, lol!
