If I want to comment on your ridicules fucking argument I will Are you done now? Or does McWolcott still need you to defend him/her? Anyway, I wasn't making personal attacks, I was commenting on the books vs. the tv show, or is that not allowed if it involves McWolcott needing to actually consider another's opinion? Here I was thinking everyone was allowed to comment. Someone just needs to let me in on these rules so I don't make these mistakes anymore. Thnx! <3

And even though the show does stray quite a bit from the books, this is still a series based on the books. And what makes the books good are the characters, all of them imperfect, most of all Sookie, but they are so unique and the way they interact gives heart and soul to the books. If the series isn't going to try to capture that in some way, why not just make Buffy the sequal series or something. Anna is playing Sookie so true to the book's character--she can be selfish and foolish and petulant and irrational, etc etc but those of us who have read the books have a better understanding of why she is that way because the books put forth her perspective more. For example, for those who think Sookie is dumb, there is stuff in the books about how she didn't do well in school because it was hard to keep other's thoughts out of her head while still focusing on schoolwork. There's quite a bit about that in the book that makes things more understandable. If you haven't read the books, it's just like watching any new show, you watch as the characters develop. If you've read the books, the characters are already developed for you and because just about every character is pretty true to the book, we feel we understand them better than non book readers do.

Imprisoned with Hugo at the Light of Day camp, Sookie uses her telepathic powers to reach out to Bill, who's being detained at the hotel by a stubbornly obsessive Lorena. After crossing a church line, a fearful Jason tries to sever his ties with the Fellowship of the Sun, but gets plenty of resistance from Steve and his lackey, Gabe. 208: Timebomb (8/09/09) Sookie's captivity takes an unexpected turn when Eric arrives to do his master's bidding. In Bon Temps, Sam finds himself in hot water after making a gruesome discovery at Merlotte's. Sent home by Bill, Jessica and Hoyt learn that when it comes to sex, every time is the first time. Tara and Eggs get physical after partaking in a "Hunter soufflé" prepared by Maryann. After Jason pays off his debt to the vampires, Godric looks to enlighten his more single-minded followers. 209: I Will Rise Up (8/16/09) A wounded Eric plays Sookie for a sucker, to Bill's dismay. Later, Sookie and Jason reflect on their recent adventure, and end up bonding. Blaming Eggs for Tara's bruises and bizarre behavior, Lafayette and Lettie Mae try to figure out a way to pry their kin from Maryann's clutches. Hoyt defends his relationship with Jessica. In Dallas, Eric and the vampires defend their recent actions to Nan Flanagan, and are shocked when Godric decides to take the fall for their PR disaster. 210: New World in My View (8/23/09) Sookie, Bill and Jason return to a Bon Temps turned upside down by Maryann. Bill discovers that traditional vampire techniques don't work on Maryann; Hoyt and Jessica try to keep a lid on Maxine's madness; Sookie tries to push through the darkness consuming Tara. With all hell breaking loose, Jason takes the bull by the horns to rescue Sam, at least for the moment. 211: Frenzy (8/30/09) With the crisis in Bon Temps careening out of control, Bill seeks out the advice of Sophie-Anne, the Vampire Queen of Louisiana, but must exercise patience before she gives him critical information. Meanwhile, Sookie and Lafayette find that protecting Tara from herself is more difficult than they anticipated; a desperate Sam turns to an unlikely source for assistance; and Hoyt's allegiance to Maxine is put to the test by Jessica.

My only issue was him having not read the books and saying they have nothing to do with the show. He said the books might as well not exist wjen it comes to understanding their characters which is silly IMO because Sookie is played pretty much identically to the character in the books. That's all. And No, I don't need other people defending me, I was sleeping.

Our opinions shouldn't be discounted, especially given the fact that the show has been proven to not be a direct play-by-play of the books. I would even venture to say that the book readers are somewhat biased (not sure if that's the right word) and that (depending on what Ball has up his sleeve) the readers may find future plot developments to be in direct contrast to what a character may have done in the books. You may even (who knows really?) find that your reading of the books will be a hindrance to enjoying the development of the show. Given that the show =/= the book I think it's rude to tell someone they are wrong. Last Edited By: Carboys Desire 07/02/09 5:42 PM. Edited 1 times.

But we can still base our opinions of Sookie by what Sookie has done ON THE SHOW and not be wrong. ETA: OK, I did go look and he did say that but I think you kinda twisted his meaning. His point, I believe, was that the characters should be able to stand on their own (in the show) regardless of what is written in the books. I agree. Last Edited By: Carboys Desire 07/02/09 5:49 PM.

I expected it was going to be more like gossip girl where they followed the book in the first episode and then went off on their own at least plot wise.

Her parent's didn't accept her, nor did anyone else, who blames her for finally getting to be who she is? She's not afraid of Bill or the rest of them because they need her and she knows it. Good on her. And this is the post that started it. I didn't think I said anything to warrant that.

I wish you would have just said that so we could actually, ya know, talk about it, instead of giving me ~attitude~ which escalated this. Not every disagreement has to be a huge fight. <3 And I still think that's true. I mean, those of you have read the books are completely fine to compare it and say whatever you want, but there are a lot of people who have not read the books and the writers are going to take that into account. They have to make a show for viewers who don't have the books to rely on for background information for the characters. And so unless the show gives us certain information on Sookie, I think it's fair for someone to believe something that may not have been true in the books. As for how Sookie is played compared to the show, I don't know. I never had anything to say about that, but I would think that if the show and books are different so far, not everything about Sookie on the show would hold true for the Sookie in the books. That's all.
