Here it is. THE LAST ERIC PICPSAM UNTIL NEXT YEAR!

I'll be sobbing and mumbling in Swedish and wiping blood off of my cheeks while typing up this whole entry I'm sure.

ERIC, DON'T LEAVE ME!

P.S. This entry will also make ONTD cry.

We already talked about a lot of this, but, whatever, I need a distraction from a frustrating Bones ep. (LOL, though I guess this show has it's frustrating elements, too!)

Alan Ball claims that there was a plot-related reason why Eric had very little screen time in the last three episodes. Well, honestly, IDAF

And I don't think that's okay when we're not going to find out UNTIL NEXT SUMMER. It's one thing if we found out in the finale that there was some really awesome reason for Eric's lack of screen time. But how are we supposed to be content with that kind of vague answer?

Unless Eric is there in pink spandex. If that is the case then all bets are off.

YOU KNOW. They really did miss so many opportunities with that. First of, the internet might've literally exploded if they put ASkars in spandex! Secondly, if Eric had been the one to save them all? What would've that done to Bill? To Sookie? Even to Sam? Having Bill and Sam be the heroes is just boring compared to that.

Do you think that maybe her blood is so powerful she is ( ... )

But how are we supposed to be content with that kind of vague answer?
Exactly. And sadly, I think the problem is that there isn't really an answer. I'm sure that Eric was probably involved in whatever the Queen was doing with the blood somehow. I heard that the King of Mississippi will also be involved with whatever that is too so it's bound to be something huge that all the most powerful vamps are involved in.

BUT STILL, if we can have all these completely useless scenes of people just being ridiculous that have me looking at the clock and thinking "Why is this necessary?" then there could have been a way to deal with more aftermath to the Dallas storyline.
I mean, the reason why there was no after-math in the book was because Eric didn't have any direct involvement with it, nor did anyone else. Although they did deal with the after-math of Sookie having Eric's blood and learning to trust him more.
LOL IN FACT, ERIC IS THE ONLY REASON THE MARYANNE STORYLINE WAS EVEN INTERESTING IN THE BOOKS!

Having Bill and Sam be the ( ... )

You know, I really did think we'd at least get some of that this season. Eric/Sookie didn't even interact (except in the dreams) after Godric! Even taking any shippiness out of the equation, I feel like that's SUCH a bad decision! Like let's say Eric actually IS the dangerous guy Ball's comments implied. Let's deal with that. What would it mean that Sookie's had his blood?

I think that is the problem if you want to follow the plot and try and make Bill/Sookie actually work. Their relationship is barely ever progressed beyond the first book (except for negatively in 3 and 6).Okay, seriously, what DOES Alan Ball see in Bill/Sookie??? Like, I guess I was biased even in the early books, having heard about how awesome Eric/Sookie are, but I just don't think I'd have ever fallen for them. They probably wouldn't been on of those bland, "okay, they're nice enough" couples for me. I guess I'm just not seeing the epic love story he is ( ... )

starryeyedmagic September 18 2009, 18:13:52 UTC

Exactly. I mean, that plot point that was a pretty HUGE thing in terms of her relationship with Bill even, and it was virtually ignored beyond her one conversation with Lafayette. And even then she didn't really talk about how she was feeling about any of it, she was just like "oh you too ( ... )

katayla September 18 2009, 19:58:38 UTC

And what with it being nearly a year before we got more episodes, I guess I do worry that we're never going to get much dealing with that aspect of Eric/Sookie. I suppose the blood will always be a plot point, but it would be weird to go back to the Godric stuff, sigh.

OH. That'll be awesome! One of my LJ friends is watching the show for the first time and is in the middle of the second book and is actually a big Bill/Sookie shipper, and doesn't get the Eric fuss. And I'm, like, KEEP READING.

starryeyedmagic September 19 2009, 05:36:45 UTC

Oh gosh, I didn't even think about that. But you're totally right. It would be weird if randomly in season 3 Eric and Sookie have a talk about her being there for Godric specifically. I mean, she can still mention how she saw how much he loved him in a general way, but it would be hard to bring back that specific moment. Especially since it was in episode 9 and not the finale ( ... )

katayla September 19 2009, 07:14:43 UTC

Yeah, I think it'll probably affect whatever happens with Eric/Sookie in s3, but I don't think they can talk about it specifically.

If anyone can finish book 3 and still ship Bill/Sookie I will totally judge them though. haha! That includes Alan Ball.

Haha, but YES. It's not really one of those "we can agree to disagree" ships. I mean, I can (sort of) understand the book readers who don't ship Eric/Sookie, but I don't get the book Bill/Sookie shippers AT ALL.

starryeyedmagic September 19 2009, 18:28:53 UTC

Exactly, and that's my biggest problem with the whole Bill/Sookie thing ( ... )

katayla September 19 2009, 20:55:24 UTC

I wonder how many books Alan Ball DID read before he started developing the show. I know it wasn't all and I think it might've been just the first two ( ... )
