True Blood

Any True Blood fans out there?

I've still got to get caught up on the 1st season, but I've read all of the books. Although they differ greatly, I'm a total fan!

I watch it. I think it is pretty good. I LOVE the opening song. And Erik.

We're fans! We are watching season 1 on Netflix. We don't have cable so it'll be a whilebefore we see season 2. But I've read books1-8 and Russ is on book 6. I'm waiting in book 9 from the library.

I'm totally on team Eric!!! From the books at least...I haven't seen enough if him in the show...

I don't like Tara's character on the show. And there are a couple of other deviations from the book that I also don't like. But overall we are enjoying it.

The song is by Jace Everett and is called "Bad Things.". I bought it on iTunes.

Oh and the fact that it's in the Shreveport area/NW Louisiana is reallyneat!

Davita is trying to get me to watch it. I started to go catch up via HBO On Demand, but they only have S2 on there .... will I know what is going on?? Is it worth bothering? I'm really not into the effort to rent S1 ...

You can usually rent the DVD from your library, but I am sure you could catch up even if you didn't. I love the show ad Erik is really growing on me. I am going to start reading the books soon. Oh and the opening song is a must on the Ipod!

Jenn, I think it's worth it to watch Season 1.....I haven't seen Season 2, but I've read the books and I don't think even reading the first book will give you everything because of the differences.

I just got into season 2...caught up on demand. I was going to go back and netflix season 1, but...should I read the nooks first? I had no idea there were books!

[Michele]

I like the books. BUt I don't think you need to read them to understand the show...especially since there are a few differences (that IMO affect the story line). If you want quick fun reads, then pick up the books. There are 9 written, 1 due out in May and then I think she's contracted to write a few more (it's been about a year between books).

So I thought the season premiere was kinda boring... So who do you think took Bill?

[madeintaiwan]

Are you referring to the finale? I am pretty certain it was Eric and company that took him. But who knows, there might be a twist there.

[bokelley]

OH yea I mean finale, It was late LOL

There was an interview with Alan Ball....

I didn't see season 2.

Is there anything I’m forgetting to ask you?
BALL: I’m surprised you didn’t ask who took Bill. Who took Bill?
BALL: It was Hoyt’s mother.

My coworkers speculate though that it was orchestrated by SophieAnne and Eric.
