Hoyt (Jim Parrack) is also cute.. They just portray him as a plain, slobby, blue collar kind of guy.
Got any of him you can also post??

He does. I feel so bad for him. He fell in love with a brand new vampire and she doesn't know how to behave yet.

^^ LOL, yeah because those mature vampires are so well behaved  ... I do feel bad for Hoyt though, and Jessica. I think the poor girl is trying really hard but like you said, she's new at it and doesn't know how yet. I don't like Bill and like him even less this season but I loved his scenes with Jessica in one of the previous episodes this season when she felt guilty about "cheating" on Hoyt. I hope they will explore their "parent/child" relationship more in the future, but I think if anything they are more likely to focus on his human family connections with the Bellefleurs. The other character I always feel a little bad for is Terry ... and am I the only one just a little concerned that the show put colored contacts in that baby's eyes to make them so black? Another character I really enjoy is Lafayette - his dialogue is always funny and I loved his additions in the "prayer" Maury was making in this week's episode. |

I liked Bill the first season, but I haven't read any of the books so I had no knowledge of what he is really like. At the end of last season is when I really started to question Bill and now I don't want him anywhere near Sookie.
I do feel bad for Terry. That baby creeps me right out. I am hoping the baby's eyes are digitally altered and not contacts.
I LOVE Lafayette. He cracks me up! Between the wardrobe and his dialogue he just over the top!

I felt like in the first two seasons of the show, HBO went out of the way to make Bill seem nearly perfect and wrote Eric even worse than in the book ... now they are making Bill even worse than he is in the book. It's a weird choice to me that HBO would want to write eiter character more extreme when both are shades of gray characters in the books. In the books, there are subtle hints from the beginning that Bill isn't so good and that Eric isn't so bad so it just seems like a natural evolution/reveal of their other sides, but in the show it comes off as a bit of a shocker because they built Bill up so much in the first couple of seasons.

Maybe they are finding that so many people are Team Eric! The attitude that if that is what the people want, then let's give the people what they want.
So they start the changes gradually. I know I am fine with this as I was never a Bill fan!.
Now the baby. I thought in reality the baby was just fine and now it is looking like maybe it isn't?? I am confused!

^^That's true, they could have been planning on more people backing Sookie and Bill and when they saw that so many were interested in a pairing with Eric they shifted it back .... or conversely they may have always expected Eric to be a hit and that they needed to whitewash Bill in the first two season to give him an edge.
I don't think there is anything wrong with the baby; I think there is something wrong with that doll. If you look close, it was sitting beside the baby. I think it may be possessed or something and that was what wrote on the wall.... but now Terry is going to start thinking there is something wrong with the baby too just like that nutty Arlene. They don't know that Jessica and Hoyt both tried to get rid of that doll before Jessica ever "gifted" them with it.

That makes more sense it's the doll... Wonder where Hoyt & Jessica got it? Where it came from? Has to be from a witch! The one that burned at the stake and that's why the doll looks burnt too?

^^ Maybe so, I do think it is tied into the witch somehow. None of this was in the books (well Eric being cursed by witches was but the details are all different and there was no doll or even a new baby for Arlene) so I don't have any insight from there - this is all new storyline for me too, but it just seems connected to that same spirit guide that is working through the head wiccan.

I just hope they don't have Sookie get back with Bill just because Anna Paquin is married to Stephen Moyer in real life.

^^Ditto!!!
I try not to read a whole lot into what is happening. I just watch it for what it is worth and let the surprises come.
Debbie has me wondering as well. Something is up with her too. She is just too nice after her little escapade last season.
