“I do not respond well to threats” *giggles* Just bite her.
If the synopsis for the first three episodes are anything to go by, we won’t see Eric or Pam until the THIRD episode. I swear to god, I will have a damn fit if that is the case. I will stage a revolt. June 14 is far too far away as it is.
*shakes fist at Alan Ball*

“*shakes fist at Alan Ball*”
LOL
[Reply]
Can’t wait to see what Sookie is threatening Eric about – she looks genuinely frightened. Any ideas?
[Reply]
“If you don’t help me, I will….” ??
LOL
[Reply]
“I do not respond well to threats.”
He flashes fang at Sookie! Oh Eric … time to let her know who she’s dealing with! Go my golden vampire god!
*I must confess, Bill looks very sexy too*
[Reply]
excuse me~Alan Ball…
Can you give me more Bill/Sookie scenes?
Please~~~~~~~~
[Reply]
Bill “I refuse to apologize for what you have awakened in me”
OK, I think I just melted, awww!
*Now imagining someone ever saying that to me. Sigh*
LOL

That’s a great line, Sanna. And did you see that when Alan said the second season was more romantic, we saw shots of Bill and Sookie? *squee*

Yes, I too noticed the “awakened in me” segment and footage with great interest!
[Reply]
Bill: “I have a guest coming over.”
Jessica: “Can we eat her?
Bill: “No you may not!”
LOLOLOL, that cracked me up so much. What a great recap of season one and (small) tease for season two. About the only quibble I had was that Alan made it sound like Bill came back to Sookie two weeks after being burned, but we saw him come back before the two-week jump happened. I wonder if they’ll rewrite the timing or did he just goof a bit?
Thanks, Shad! I’ll watch it on HBO again tonight, but it was fun getting a sneak peek.

I noticed that too! I actually had to pause the video and watch that part of the episode just to check, haha. I think he just made a little mistake

I did! Squeeing right with you :-)
[Reply]
I noticed something interesting in this video. There is a very short clip with Sookie and Ginger in Fangtasia at the end. They seem to be in a basement of some sort, and it looks like the same room where Eric comes face to face with one attacker. Maybe the Fellowship will come to Fangtasia!
[Reply]
Seriopusly, I keep replaying and replaying that awekening line by Bill over and over again. What he says there is defiantly after she says she always thought they could be together. No woman (at least not a sane one) can say such a thing AFTER a man says that you have awakened him. That just can’t be done!
So so romantic. I have they will make me cry when that scene comes, hahaha
LOL LOL

I was wondering about the order as well, and I think you’re right. I wonder if some of the feelings that are awakened are the “protective” feelings over one he loves, and therefore he couldn’t apologize for getting rid of Uncle Molester. Sigh..It’s gonna be a great scene!
[Reply]

May 25th, 2009 at 10:33
Well, I was just fooling around. She could very well say what she says after he has said the awekening thing. I was’t being serious, lol. But I just ment that most women would be pretty speechless if a man said that to you, lol lol
[Reply]
I ment that I have a feeling they will make me cry, hehe
[Reply]
Wow that was amazing….and Nora if you are correct and the Fots makes an attempt at fangtasia, Sookie’s brother will be there that won’t go over well.
[Reply]
Lou Reply:

If the FOTS attack Fangtasia very early in the season, Jason may not be there yet. I get the impression it takes an episode or two for him to make his way there at the beginning of season 2.

When is the “scratch my back” episode? Is it number 3? Would that be enougn time? I was wondering why Sookie would be holding a gun on someone in her Fangtasia t-shirt, and this would make sense.

well that’s episode 3 she is wearing the red shirt..
[Reply]
I must have a one-track mind. I particular moment where I went Yeah! was Bill and Sookie getting slinky on the big bed.
[Reply]
Lou Reply:

It was such a quick shot of Bill and Sookie going for the bed, but also very hot. We’ve seen a bit of that scene in all of the promos, it looks freaking epic. So exciting.

epic f*****g!!!!
[Reply]
You didn’t go yeah! and swooned when Bill said she had awakened him?? :-) :-)
Honestly, right now, it’s competing with the “I can smell the sunlight on your skin”
[Reply]
At that line I was going, “Man, I wish I was Bill, I wish I was Bill…”
[Reply]
I have a theory…You know in the trailer when Sookie says: “you should be ashamed of yourself to what you did to him”, maybe she was refering to the guy Eric attacks in the trailer. Maybe Eric gets attacked at the beginning of the season, looses his hair in the attack and desides to have the guy in the basement as punishment…Maybe the guy even contributes to Sookies medical treatment after she herself is attacked. She is angry because she discovers the man while she and ginger goes looking in the basement…Still don`t understand the gun though, but she seems to be pointing at a woman with painted fingernails.

Ooh, maybe. I kinda assumed she ment Bill, but you can be right, hehe

“This is my people, this is my town!!”
Wow, geesh Sam, talk about control issues….!
lol
[Reply]
i can finally move past episode 11, alan gave me closure haha. it was so great to hear the alan rendition of events to see his perspective.
[Reply]
I agree. I didn’t even think of that Bill thought that she chose Sam instrad of him. Didn’t enter my mind, so I’m glad Alan told me so. I believe everything he says, no questions asked, LOL LOL
[Reply]
I don’t buy it. If Bill thought Sookie chose Sam over him, why did he show up on her doorstep in epi 12? To beg her forgiveness? I love me some Bill, but I don’t want to ever see him beg again, after epi 11.
[Reply]
Lou Reply:
May 26th, 2009 at 2:47
Well, she did cry her eyes out over Bill when she thought he was burned to “death.” I could see that being a reason Bill shows up on her doorstep. And I’m glad he did! Sweet reunion and yummy kissage. :)
I would like some talk about the Sookie/Sam indiscretion in the new season, but I don’t see that happening.
[Reply]
Maybe to check if she still felt that way, I guess. I wouldn’t actually mind some beginning, haha. Not that I think what Sookie did was right. Far from it, but as Alan confirmed that he loves her very much, I bet he wanted her back, despite of what she did. True love right there, people!
lol
[Reply]
no “I don’t want a man to beg”, yea Shanna she is fickle she changes her mind every 24 hours. I have a few issue with AB comment last night..Sookie didn’t think Bill was coming back(what 2 days)so its ok for her to start kissing another man, I don’t by it..especially after AB said they both were in Love with each other..there is no excuse, bad writing in eps. 11

I like that Alan Ball writes his characters to be imperfect and not always use good judgment. If he’s writing a fantasy fairy tale, he does it with a big does of reality.

I’m also glad AB cleared things up regarding ep.11 but I’m with most of you, Sookie kissing Sam was done to further the story and was not conveyed right. It came across as Sookie acting more like Jason!
[Reply]
He never said it was OK, though. Just her reason to it. I’m pretty proud that I seems to be the only one who can see it from her POV, LOL
She was very emotionally unstable at the time. Over almost two weeks she has found her friend dead, fallen in love for the first time with a vampire, found Gran murdered, her cat murdered, almost got killed herself. I don’t liek what she did, but I can understand it

You’re not the only one. I totally understand Sookie’s behavior for all the reasons you cite and more. She’d had a hell of a two weeks, and her judgment was often clouded by “V”. I sometimes don’t like Anna Paquin’s delivery when she’s angry, but that doesn’t happen too often.
[Reply]
You’re right Sanna, she had been through alot, so I guess she can have a momentary lack of judgement. I don’t expect to see it again, though. At least, I hope not. I did like that AB pointed out how much B/S are in love, like we didn’t know already.
