I like Anna Paquin's earnest approach to Sookie. She centers the series. Give her some credit -- this is not easy to do, and a lesser actress would be chewing up the scenery in this role. She's not unlike SMG using Buffy to center BtVS -- and then let the whacko sidekicks run the show. Until it's time to strike, acting chops-wise. Bill I could take or leave. He's no Spike, that's fer sure, but he is slightly more interesting than good Angel in the early days. Maybe that's why I'm not alone in fixating on Maryann. Or those of you with Lafayette for that matter. Eric even. It's going to be the Scoobies and Big Bads that illuminate this series, and Sookie as portrayed is spot on for making that happen. I completely agree with your little Buffy analogy. Sookie is totally the center, and the glue that holds the whole thing together. You really wouldn't have a show without her.

LOL at you asking this question. :) I like Sookie and I don't mind Bill. I just can't stand them together. Their relationship is too one sided. Bill does something, Sookie gets pissed so Bill apologizes. He's a pussy whipped Vamp. But we can't have love/hate threads here!!! If we could that would rock. I would be having a BLAST in a Sookie/Bill/Jason hate thread. P'ha...do I need to explain in excruciating detail why you are wrong wrong wrong? Ok. Now know your place, young (?) man (?).

Wait -- is one of them a natural gingerbeast? I'd be up for Jason hatred though. Bill, too, under the right circumstances.

She's awesome. <3 As one of the articles from a few days ago pointed out, I prefer a strong Sookie holding her own with the vamps than the horrible message sent to teen girls by the subservient Bella.

You're talking about Twilight, right? I don't read the books (lol, sound familiar?) but I saw the movie and it was terrible. I can't believe that anyone would compare Twilight to True Blood because True Blood is leagues ahead of Twilight.

Of course, I wasn't comparing the books or the Twilight movie to the True Blood tv series, but I was contrasting the two main female characters in terms of the discussion regarding Sookie pussywhipping Bill.

There is NOTHING natural about being a gingerbeast :P Now, are we all on the same page as to vampires being completely make believe?

This is exactly why I don't like Vampire Bill on the show. I do like that he's a little stiff/formal and has had some funny lines like the recycling bit but when he's around this Sookie, I want to barf.

I actually find him hilarious when they aren't in a scene together. Like with that teenage girl he made into a vampire. Their scenes are extremely funny. Then Sookie gets in the mix and sucks whatever chemistry was in the scene right out of it.

Turned his penis into a kumquat and still couldn't sell the deal with Tara. Easily distracted. Got the cutest chick in the history of the series kilt. Moron. Just dumped his paedo uncle's life savings into a Ponzi scheme. Asshole. Whenever given the choice to do something smart, he does something dumb. Professed that Rene remains his best friend despite the motherfucker trying to slaughter his sister. Works for the state highway administration, just like Twila and Chris Daugherty. How does he pay his bills on $4 an hour? Annoyed Lafayette. Annoyed Pam. Annoyed every single person he ever met, dead or alive. Andy's right for once: I hate this douchebag.

I especially love him for this reason you list. - Whenever given the choice to do something smart, he does something dumb.

Does he realize that Rene was a psycho for killing fangbangers and not on a crusade for the Fellowship of the Sun to rid the darkness that he now believes that he needs to do?
