Definitely not. In books Sookie is much smarter, than to go barging into Fangtasia and accused Eric of doing something. That´s, what I dislike about show. That Alan Ball make Sookie so stupid. He clearly mistakes bravery with complete stupidity. In first season Sookie was bareble, but in the second I had to fight the urge to strangle her every five minutes for her stupidity. I hoped that season 3 would be better. Well, obviously not.

I guess that is what is good about opinions. Not everyone has to have the same one. I don’t view it the same way. I think that she is a lot more naive and immature in the show. Although I personally loved the scene where she slaps Eric and the scene where she announces she would rather have cancer. IMHO Both of those were naive and immature to do/say. Naive part would be slapping a very very old vampire, that you already know has no regard for humans. The immature part is saying she would rather have cancer… really? Does she even realize how horrible cancer is?
PS I know it is a show and that the writers are providing the lines. lol

I have to dissagree with you on that. Eric in the books is nothing like Eric in TB. Alex seems to be choosing to play TB Eric like Bill in the books. The way that he talks, smooth and quiet are very book Bill. His mannerisms, very still and emotionally distant, are very Bill in the books. Book Eric was quite fun and flirty and didn’ keep a dungeon of terror in his basement.

Is Eric completely nekkid?? I’m not so sure I could have kept a straight, face –eyes in the proper area –the way Sookie did…boyfriend kidnapped or not!

Oh, I like Sookie here! I figured she’d go to Eric for help in finding Bill, but I love that she actually accuses him and Lorena of being behind Bill’s disappearance (they’re on my list too).

And she accuses Eric without even the benefit of knowing that it was really him who called in Lorena. I wonder how more she will detest him when she finds that information out.
I really hope she eventually does.
Unfortunately we are supposed to be surprised at who really kidnapped Bill. Eric and Lorena seem to obvious.

Okay, how could Alan Ball possibly hide Alex’s 8-pack from us for 2 whole seasons. Now, if only the camera man happened to accidentally slip and tip the camera down a wee bit… How the heck did she keep her eyes on his face for almost the whole clip?
I love how very ‘Eric’ he is in that clip. Insulting Bill’s sexual skills while complimenting his own (6 hours and still going… wow!). Reluctantly agreeing to help find Bill while stating his intentions towards Sookie… I’m actually kind of surprised that Sookie didn’t start defending Bill when Eric questioned his stamina. Man, 6 hours in a dungeon with Eric. However would we pass the time?

Eric needs to learn that it is not about the 6 hours, but the quality of the time spent with each other! Pillow talk is most important and intimate. Bill and Sookie do it right! She had not need to look below – she knows that what she has with Bill and she has no need to look any further.

Eric: What brings you to Fangtasia on this balmy, summer night?
Sookie: Bill’s been kidnapped and I think you did it.
Eric: I didn’t. Any other theories?
Sookie: I’m still on this one, thank you very much. Where were you tonight around 11 o’clock.
Eric: (Immediately) Here with Yvetta.
Sookie: Doing this? For the last six hours?
Eric: You seem surprised. Is Bill’s stamina not up to snuff?
Sookie: Tell me where I can find Lorena. If you don’t have him, then she does.
Eric: Solid theory, but given the tenor of your last run in with Miss Krisegia, I think it’s better if I dealt with her, instead.
Sookie: How do I know you will?
Eric: Because if Bill was in fact kidnapped, by either human or vampire, I am duty bound, as Sheriff of the area in which he resides, to find him. Even if I do want what is his.
Sookie: Then do it.

I’ll give it to Eric, nice abs, nice shoulders…but it dosen’t take away from his obvious ickiness that he is portraying. I hope AB dosen’t draw out this Eric/Sookie stuff for 7 seasons or I will gag. I know what to somewhat expect in season 4 so I’m okay with it.
If he is behind Bill’s kidnapping….it won’t come out for some time I’m sure…..love how he is trying to portray how he takes his job seriously as well.

well, that could be just Eric covering up for his real "human like" feelings he has for Sookie (ie., his mental denial of that thought and something he is fighting to reveal) … this will allow for sookie to realise her feelings all on her own in the end….(his strategy).

This is the difference between the two guys. Eric has his chick tied up in chains hanging on a metal rack like a pork butt for 6 hours and Bill and Sookie do it in a bed.
I found this typical of how they write the character Eric. There is no romance there, no love. He showed more emotion about Godric, than with women.
When we see those ‘dreams’ of Sookie & Eric, they are always HER fantasy – they are loving, beautiful and gentle. I would like to see his perception of how sex would be with her.

I wouldn’t even compare it to the books at this point. Complete opposite. Granted I’m sure we will see a different side to Eric but I also think what we see is what we get, its not as complicated as fans think. he is being portrayed for a reason. AB has clearly stated that, dosen’t mean he dosen’t have a soft side but Eric and Bill are soo opposite in alot of way and also very similar. We need both of them…what we will see is Sookie’s battle between the two men.and possibly a third.
I do think Sookie and Bill are meant to be and eventually lead down that road.

If everything is as it seems and nothing will change and stays the same throughout the show then to me it will become boring. I want the characters to change, I wanna see drama, and shock, betrayal, heartbreak, love, and all those good stuff. I think the show to change things around and completely turn everything upside down is what will make it interesting. Otherwise, where is the character development and then where do you continue on with the story? I’d be a disappointed fan of the show if there weren’t many changes to come.

I hope you don’t mind if I disagree with your statement that how Eric is being portrayed is what we’re going to get. I believe that Eric will become softened and more loving once he starts spending more time around Sookie, just like Bill did.
Remember that Bill was noticeably cocky and irreverent around Sookie when he first met her ["oh but you have a very juicy artery in your groin that's a particular favorite of mine" he said to a shocked and offended Sookie]. It was only once he started spending time with her that he became the Bill we see at this point in the story. Bill even acknowledged to Sookie that he hadn’t loved since he became a vampire until he met her–she was his miracle.
I think the key driver of change for both Bill and Eric is/will be “time with Sookie”.

at this point in the show? yes you are correct. I think he is intrigued by her, curious and yes wants her but if he does get any feelings for her, he’ll push it aside because he will not want to fall for anyone especially a human. Same happened in the books, in book 3 he says “I hate having feelings” within time, he’ll realize that what he feels is more than that and he won’t be able to continue pushing these feelings aside. I don’t think the ONLY reason he wants her is because Bill has her. If she was some pathetic human he did not find interesting then he wouldn’t even give her the time of day.

I don’t mind the dungeon sex with Yvetta. She’s basically a fangbanger from what we’ve seen. Fangbangers just want sex and to be bitten – they don’t want any sweet romance or whatnot. I’m pretty sure a bit of bondage in a dungeon would be up her alley. Besides, no matter how much of a prick Eric can be at times, he isn’t cruel.
I didn’t find his ‘I didn’t’ cringeworthy – he answered her question in a straightforward manner. She stated her suspicion, he denied it. What was he supposed to say?
And yes, Eric wants Sookie. Maybe part of it is because Bill has her, but he wanted her even before Bill declared her as ‘his’ (remember, he was intrigued before he asked about her ‘ownership’). He himself has said that being surprised by a human is unusual for him, so it makes sense that he wants to kind of hold on to that, which in turn, fuels his interest in her.

I remember Lafayette, but don’t forget: Lafayette was dealing V, which is a grave (har-de-har) offense to vampires. And as Eric stated to Sookie (and which Bill did not deny) is that most other vampires would have done much worse to him then keep him in a dungeon to later question. Really, aside from having Lafayette in the dungeon, he wasn’t that bad to him – it was Ginger that shot him, and Eric did offer him the option of whether he wanted to die quickly (by vamp) or painfully from the infected wound. Yes, they drank from him, but really – vampires! They also (originally) suspected that Lafayette knew something about Eddie’s disappearance – also cause for vamp alarm (and in a way, he did unknowingly have a hand in it, thanks to getting Jason started on V and being followed). So to them, Lafayette was at first thought of as a V dealer, user, vampire kidnapper and possible murderer.
Eric, as the vamp leader in the area, needs to keep his area safe for other vampires, which includes teaching lessons to those who do harm to vampires. And also, don’t forget – he knew Jason did V and kidnapped Eddie, but let him off with a warning .
[Reply]
willkill4Bill Reply:
May 24th, 2010 at 19:01
You may have missed it because Eric spoke in Swedish to Pam but he said he wasn’t going after Jason for kidnapping Eddie and the V because he is Sookie’s brother and she is too valuable to them. Pam agreed but said it could have been fun.
He wants Sookie to come to him willingly as she did with Bill. He knew if he hurt Jason that would never happen.
Eric behaves as if he were a law unto himself most of the time. Only when he stands before higher authorities( SA, Godric, Magister, Nan) does he remember his place in the hierarchy. He has abused his postion as Sheriff in the past and that he will do so again is a good bet.
His decisions and actions are based solely on what is beneficial to him.
That is not befitting of a Sheriff with obligations to the vamps in his area. I am not trying to impose human morals but as you say there are laws and rules within the vampire world. I believe Eric has an overinflated view of himself and can’t accept that Sookie prefers Bill over him. Aside from her very useful gift that is what really attracts him to Sookie. He wants what is not readily offered and belongs to another vamp that is willing to fight to keep what is rightfully his.
All his posturing and posing has not enticed her away from Bill so the viking resorts to trickery and manipulation. As Bill said pathetic.

TEAMPAM Reply:

Well isn’t that what he is supposed to do? When he is around those with higher authority he shows them the necessary respect and knows his place. But when others are beneath it, he acts with the higher authority because again it is how it works.
I’m asking because I am curious, how did he abuse his position as Sheriff?
[Reply]
willkill4Bill Reply:
May 24th, 2010 at 21:15
That is precisely what he is suppose to do but in the absence of said higher authorities he should not be a law unto himself. We do not run red lights or rob banks just because a cop isn’t watching. He adheres to vamp laws when it benefits him and if it doesn’t he ignores the law.
2 examples:
1.Even though Sookie was there at his “request” to help him find the thief he stood idly by chastising Bill for his fondness of humans and killing Longshadow to save Sookie. Did he have to report Bill to the Magister? No but it was an opportunity to get Bill out of the way. He chose to follow the law. He made no effort to protect Sookie and begrudging gave favorable testimony for Bill a vampire under his protection. He offered to ignore the law if Bill gave him Sookie. Jessica was sacrificed as a result though I suppose she might have met her end anyway that night. Lucky for her if she had to be turned she has a sympathetic maker.
2. As I mentioned previously he chose not to impose vamp justice on Jason because it would have negative repercussions for him in his pursuit of Sookie and use of her gift. He chose to ignore the law.
He is using the vamp law and system at his discretion for his personal gain. Even in the vampire world that doesn’t flush as does the presence of the Magister indicates.
Abuse of position as Sheriff and as it turns out against vamp law and customs that also are punishable offenses:
To name a few:
1. From the moment he met Sookie both Bill and Sookie clearly declared she was Bill’s. That places her off limits.
Eric has pursued Sookie both openly and secretively.
2. He called in Lorena to detain and hold Bill hostage a vamp under his jurisdiction and is suppose to be under his protection as Sheriff.
3. He sent Bill out to pursue the humans after the bombing in order to trick Bill’s human into ingesting his blood thus forming a blood bond. Poaching if you want to put in baser terms because Eric could not win her away from Bill based on his own “charms”.
4. Promises the queen to take care of Bill personally so that their illegal activities remain secret and heads do not roll. So he may well be involved in Bill’s kidnapping but that remains to be seen.
There are other examples but I am not writing a dissertation on it. All one has to do is watch and pay attention because they are glaringly obvious.
[Reply]
TEAMPAM Reply:

There are also many things that I see glaringly obvious on the show that some fans seem to ignore. Although, a certain secret hasn’t been revealed well seems like we’ve seen more than enough hints about it between season 1 and season 2. But I also don’t turn around to fans and say “All one has to do is watch and pay attention because they are glaringly obvious” and this is what I meant before about how you act towards Eric fans. There was no need for that, we are having a conversation and I asked you a question, I would think we can discuss the show without such remarks just because we have a different favorite character.
I won’t even get into this whole Eric involved in Bill’s kidnapping business because I’ve seen enough to know it’s not him. It was called a red herring, he never said he would cause any harm to Bill, he said he would take care of the situation.
well let’s also not forget that Bill didn’t exactly come let Eric know that he was in the area, and don’t all vampires have to check in with the Sheriff.
Now if Eric turned around to Bill and said “You MUST give me Sookie” then that would be an abuse of power.
I don’t think Eric said “Hold bill hostage” if so then I missed that part. I think he thought that Lorena can get him to go to her.
It is just speculation to say that Eric sent Bill after the humans simply so he can trick Sookie. If that was the case I would think he would’ve tricked Sookie soon after, instead we see a little bit of time go by while Sookie checks for Jason. How do we know he didn’t come up with that idea during that brief moment. Nobody can say either for sure, it would be based on opinions and not facts.
Also, yes I think he HAD to bring him in to the Magister. Would a cop see a murder and not say anything? And if Eric wanted to be a jerk he could’ve let Bill screw himself over when he made his comment about “there are those of us who feel differently” it was also that moment that the magister saw that he listened to his Sheriff.
Yes, Eric has showed an interest in Sookie. But this isn’t what I put into the category of abusing his position of Sheriff. He would’ve done that no matter what.
Is Eric this perfect character who never does anything wrong? of course not but none of the characters are either. I can say things about the other characters too, it goes both ways. They all have their good and bad sides.

We actually do not know how this will play out, if it play out at all. Bill has withheld info from Sookie but Bill also fell in love with Sookie, head over heals in love. That he didn’t fake and he proved that….he walked into the sun,killed the rattrays before they killed sookie, he killed longshadow hense had to go before the Magister. Had to have the god awful ordeal of “making” a vampire…..Bill has more than redeemed himself as far as I am concerned, especially for a scenerio that has yet to be played out. Its only obvious to book readers, because we all think we know what to expect.
What Eric has done thus far seems more abusive to me. IMO.
I do agree that all the characters, human and vampire are not perfect. AB likes to bring that out in his shows….that is his brilliance. Human flaws, human tendencies, humans and sex. Its all there.
Its late, I hope that made a lick of sense.

Wow I thought I was having an conversation. You asked and I answered. Perhaps you did not care for my answers. This is twice in one night you have attempted to read more into my post than was there. I do not know if it is the content or wording or both that is the issue. You have your opinion and I have mine and they differ. I do not have an issue with that. Apparently my style of writing offends you. I can assure you I did not write in an inflammatory manner. I do not even remotely know where this “how you act towards Eric fans” comes from. Why would I have an issue with someone being an Eric fan? Please in the future refrain from giving my post extra content or meaning. I feel I am able to convey my thoughts clearly enough.
What makes you think Bill did not check in with Eric upon arriving in the area? I do not recall that ever being mentioned.
Eric was across the hall I am pretty sure he could hear Bill trying to get away from Lorena. It is a bit disingenous to say Eric called her there to do anything but detain Bill in some manner. He clearly stated “Bill has something I want”.
We have no idea what the secret will be. AB may follow the books or veer in an entirely different direction. No doubt in time there will lots of things come to light.
Stay tuned as will I.

Willkill4bill, certain lines like “All one has to do is watch and pay attention because they are glaringly obvious.” can come across the wrong way, especially when I asked, how does he abuse his power which hints that i don’t see it that way. Now if I am wrong then I apologize
To answer your questions:
When Bill takes Sookie to Fangtasia, its apparent that this is the first time Eric see’s Bill in a while. So shows he didn’t check in.
Eric said to Lorena that he is very loyal to his maker, so seems like Eric expected Bill to obey. He was wrong and probably didn’t expect Bill to react that way to his maker.
LOVELYLAVENDAR-Maybe not you but many many fans believe it wont be revealed on the show, and if you even say there is a possibility they say no. Not saying on this site but in general I’ve seen this on many sites.
I don’t question whether or not Bill loves Sookie. I believe he does but I also believe that just because somebody loves you, doesn’t necessarily mean you should be with them. My ex adores me and still loves me but means nothing to me. What bothers me even more now on the show that he would propose and about to marry her bc his intention was to go to vermont right away and get married. But he wanted to enter into a marriage while keeping such a huge secret from Sookie. Now I understand some fans will forgive and that is fine with me, you are more than entitled to feel that way. For me though, I think it was the wrong move and makes it even worse to me that he would do that. Dating is one thing but marriage is another. I didn’t forgive bill in the books and if it is revealed I won’t forgive him on the show but again this is just how I feel. I’m not gonna knock people and say “what is wrong you, who wants a man like that” just stating the facts is enough without questioning why anybody would like this character bc then that would be putting down his fans. I will admit that Bill on the show is alot better than book Bill.

“When Bill takes Sookie to Fangtasia, its apparent that this is the first time Eric see’s Bill in a while. So shows he didn’t check in.”
Eric and Pam were well aware that Bill had been mainstreaming and it was probably just a case of Bill not having come into Fangtasia for a while. Bill isn’t into posturing for humans and he has been working on his house at night. If he had not checked in prior to that night Eric would have said something.
I agree they weren’t expecting Bill to resist or disobey his maker. He put a real dent in their plan.
TeamPam I appreciate the apology. It is easy to misinterpret someones words, I have done it myself. Just so you know I have neither the need or desire to bash Eric fans. If I were so inclined I would be very direct about it. That kind of behavior is frowned on here from both sides. There are other boards that relish those exchanges. I think it best we move on from this subject but I am sure we will have other discussions along the way. TB offeres a wealth of material.

When Bill gets to Fangtasia he is the one who tells Pam he is mainsteaming, and Pam says it’s been a while. Bill also is the one to tell Eric he is mainstreaming and Eric tells him to sit and catch up because it’s been a long time. So since he’s been back in BT, I don’t think Bill let Eric know he was there. This was episode 4, so Bill had just recently gotten there so if Pam and Eric said it’s been a while, im guessing he didn’t check in. But Eric didn’t seem too upset about it when he saw Bill.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not justifying Eric calling Lorena in. I hate this part but what can you do. Just wanted to point out that he didnt say to hold him hostage.
I agree, things can come across the wrong way on a message board and I don’t really care to argue with fans, we’re all fans of the same show so we should all get along even if we agree to disagree.

Does that justice include Vamps selling V or rather forcing humans to do so?
In the scheme of things a vamp dealing V is committing a worse offense. He tortured Lafayette for doing what he and the queen are doing and to find out who Pussylover may be. Possibly someone crossing over into their territory to deal?

But we don’t know yet why the queen has him dealing V. This will be the central focus of season 3, well the whole V dealing will be. We see both QSA and Russell involved somehow with this. Queen is supplying Eric with V to have humans sell it. Russell has V addicted were’s who personally work for him. We see there will be tension between the two states, so right now we can either assume that Russell wants to take down QSA for dealing and maybe goes hand in hand with his plan to consolidate his power. But then maybe QSA is dealing to somehow get to the were’s who are addicted to V and take him down. It’s possible that it can be both. It’s also likely that it is the reason Bill was kidnapped. Why the magister will also be on the show and not sure if ppl saw info on season finale spoiler so i wont ruin it.
Eric followed orders, it is the queen doing this. He basically is just screwing himself order because he is the one who can go down with QSA, maybe why we see the Magister at Fangtasia.

I really don’t think his wanting her is because Bill has her. I really don’t think he gives a hoot about Bill. Sookie has stated her desire to be with Bill and not with Eric, so he is somewhat respecting that. I think he wants her for the reasons you stated, he is surprised by her and of course there’s that intangealbe attraction that he feels and doesn’t know why. I think he’s interested in figuring that out….

If Eric didn’t give a hoot about Bill why has he gone to the lengths he has to neutralize him? He sent Lorena to hold in Dallas. Admitted to her that Bill has something he wants. Manipulated Sookie into taking his blood. He told the Queen he would take care of Bill in regards to the V trade. Throwing out the stamina thing. He’s not respecting Sookie’s choice at all. If he wants Sookie, he needs to get Bill out of the way to have an in, so to speak. I’d say that means he does give a hoot about Bill.

What I meant when I said that he didn’t give a hoot about Bill was that Eric does not want Sookie simply because Bill has her. Bill is a non-issue in that regard. I think he is being somewhat respectful of their choices, because if you remember, he said “if I want Sookie, I can simply take her.” He could, but he is not.

Sookie is smart enough to know that Eric could well have taken Bill, and might still be involved despite his words here. And if not she is smart enough to know that if Bill is beholden to Eric, then Eric is responsible to Bill. Lots of people care about that precious farmer (thank you, minion, I love that description). Bill is the name that is heard most in all the adds. To the majority of viewers, who haven’t been exposed to the books, Bill is a central character. In an American show, who should the American public root for? A “farmer”, one of their own? Or an arrogant foreigner, who so far shows no respect for humans.

Let’s put it this way, the show you seem to like ( otherwise you wouldn’t be here ) wouldn’t be around if it weren’t for Americans …. The Books Writer is a born, bred and a corn fed American. The Showrunner of the series is a brilliant American that without his insight , this series never would have come to fruition. The cable company ( HBO ) that put this show on it’s airways is an American Company under the umbrella of it’s principal, Time Warner… another American Company.
Yep, Americans are farmers … we farmed this land, then industry , then technology and science and now the world.

You’re right of course, but I was commenting on the general public who don’t have the biases that book readers have. Some will like Bill and some won’t, they’re not sheep. But so many book readers assume that everybody should see things their way. And they’re sometimes not very nice about it. I had to be told last summer that Eric was a real option for Sookie and not a red herring – it’s still not obvious from the show through season 2 that he is relationship material.
Still if you ask one hundred citizens of any country – do you root for
A. the local boy/underdog or
B. the outsider/authority figure.
If anywhere close to half pick B I’ll eat my hat. (safe bet for me, I don’t wear hats).
I like foreigners – I am one. I was born in one country and became a citizen of another – I’m a foreigner wherever I go.

Do people really still believe that Eric kidnapped Bill? Then what? Left him in the woods for Russell to find him somehow and then have Sookie go to Jackson to look for him and then he shows up too? I understand you don’t like the character but that is a bit much.
If you’re an Eric fan, you’ll look at things Bill does with a different outlook and Bill fans will look at Eric’s actions from a different outlook so goes both ways.
Look at the scene we’ve been seeing of some stripper on top of Bill naked. I wonder what this scene is all about, considering we see now it looks like it’s in a strip club and Lorena is seen with this woman too. It’s not a flashback because last he has seen Lorena was 70 years ago and don’t think we would see a strip club like the one we see in the scene.
I think we should wait unil the show actually starts to really judge, we don’t know yet what will be revealed and what everyone will do.

It is new to her, so it is expected that she would be naive of it and sometimes come off as a tiny bit immature.

We have a pretty good idea where Bill is but Eric could still have a part in his kidnapping. There hasn’t been anything shown or written yet (that I’ve seen) to rule him out. We still don’t know WHY Bill was kidnapped, so it’s all up in the air as to motive. Eric DID say he would take care of Bill and he certainly has motive…he’s said more than once that Bill “has something he wants” plus Bill now knows Eric is involved in the selling of vampire blood. He has opportunity, since he is sheriff he could send anyone to do the dirty work for him. I’m not ready to rule him out until I see what plays out onscreen. Do I think, if he is involved, that he will be punished or have to answer for it? Heck no!! I would rather he not be involved than to have him be behind it (as with bringing Lorena to Dallas) and not have to be exposed for it or answer to anyone for it…just getting away with it. So not right and not something I care to see on my favorite program.
Just my opinion

He was determined to form a bond with her and got that oppurtunity when the bomb went off in Godric’s lair. It’s way to obvious that he is involved in the kidnapping. I can’t wait to see the Queen’s reaction to all this also. And the Magister is making another appearance this season…hmm.. for who? Eric, the Queen? the King? Interesting, bring on season three!

I believe the Magister will be in town (at least the first time in S3) because of Jessica killing the trucker. The vamps usually kill someone who brings bad press upon them by doing foolish things. They’re trying to mainstream, to live openly in human society and when you have vamps biting guys in truckstops where there are security cameras, you have a big problem.

That would be interesting. From the trailer it seems like the Magister is in Fangtasia and he doesn’t seem to be happy with things going on in Louisiana.
That would be bad because we all know that a stripper gets drained by vampires at a strip club and then they also find other fangbangers drained. Humans are going to start going against vamps and we will see hatred crimes against them, this from casting calls I noticed. So Jessica does have to be careful now. Although, it does seem like everybody is in trouble this season.

Sorry viking lovers but anyway you shake it using that reeking filthy torture chamber for sex games is revolting. Was the nearest sewer pipe not available? No matter that Yvetta is probably a fangbanging skank she is human and deserves some consideration. With the torturing and dismembering of humans and s**t buckets in a airless dark dank place like that you know it will forever reek.
I thought vampires were suppose to be super sensitive to smells and sounds etc.. They consider weres to be smelly beast. I thought it odd those 3 jumped on poor filthy Lafayette and fed from him after he had been held down there for weeks. It is not like they were starved and had no other options for feeding.

I agree, that we’ve been seeing Eric being established as a specific character so we can see the change in him later in how he behaves with Sookie. I also think if they go the book 4 Amnesia route, that presenting Eric this way will STRONGLY contrast with how he was in that storyline.
Up until now, we’ve seen how men/women just lust after him constantly, he has to make no effort at all to get blood/sex any time/any place/any way he wants. The guy is BORED.
Now he meets this girl who intrigues him , but has no interest in him, is in love with a vamp underling that he sees as inferior(i’m sure) ,talks back to him, and presents for the first time in years a CHALLENGE.
Times they are a changin for Eric, he just doesn’t realize it yet.
And yes, having sex in that nasty dungeon is icky. IMO its worse than the graveyard. The graveyard was just dirt after all. The smell alone in the dungeon would make me never want to have sex again. Just saying. LOL!

That is fine, willkill4bill, but there are different ways of expressing yourself without so much hate for Eric or his fans. I dislike Bill but I choose to be respectful and try to word it a bit differently, and not put the fans down.
But if you want to compare, didn’t Bill have sex on top of a dead woman or wait no next to a dead woman and rolled over in her blood. They’re vampires, I don’t care which vampire it is on the show, guess what they all did some evil and disgusting things along the way. As far as disgusting things go, I think we can move past this since I don’t think any vampire is above any of this.

This is no offense intended to anybody else’s commets just my opinion of the clip.. I am a Bill and Eric lover! :0) Hell there all HOT!
I don’t think Sookie storming into the bar questioning Eric has got anything to do with her being or not being immature but instead her being angry, hurt and scared. Her first instinct is to seek out who took Bill or what happened to him. Obviously with her encounter with Lorena in season 2 and there being tension between Eric and Bill through seaons 1 and 2 she’s going to seek him out first not just to question him but to find out how to track down Lorena, she has no one else to turn to even though she doesn’t know if she can trust him.
It’s fun to speculate how season 3 is going to go but honestly these little second long clips don’t really tell us to much except there’s going to be alot of twists..Knowing how AB twisted up the first and second seasons I think it’s safe to assume the third will be no different. In fact I get the impression that the “obvious guilty ones” will probably not be the true master minds! AB did state that the season is going to start out closely to the book storyline but he didn’t say it would end that way! Just my opinion:0)

I agree, even with all the information we’ve been given and shown about season 3, I still think we are in for many many shocking moments. I also hate that most of the time the only topics are B/S or E/S. Sometimes, it seems like that is the only thing about the show lol. This season wont even be about Bill or Eric, they will both have big roles of course but there is so much more going on and it won’t even be about “who gets sookie this season” I am actually excited about everything else on the show. It’s gonna be true blood meets scarface lol. It’s a vampire show and I’m glad the focus is NOT just the relationships although sometimes you would think it is the only focus since it’s the only subject haha. I dont think I would watch the show to just see vampires in love. Thats whats so great about it, we have everything in this show to keep so many entertained for different reasons. The 2nd half of the show seems to go completely away from the books.
I agree about your comment regarding Sookie. Infact, I would’ve been surprised if she didn’t go to Eric and question him.

Agreed,
Some further points to add to yours about Sookie going to Eric:
Other than popping fang, Eric had never laid a hand on Sookie in the past. He’d saved her life by bringing in the right doctor for her when she was mauled. In Dallas he’d tried to help her escape the church and obeyed her twice when she’d told him not to kill someone. He’d saved her during the bombing AND she’d been plenty sassy with him before and survived.
Also, she’s had his blood…they each know a little of what the other is feeling…she could probably pick up on him wanting to kill her and would have chosen her venue and words accordingly.
BUT If those points don’t work for you then there’s the fact that she’s still suffering shock and grief…she’s still wearing that lavender dress for goodness sake! If someone just took your loved one and you didn’t think the law could help but you thought you knew who did it…you might/probably wouldn’t have any thoughts about your own safety in pursuit of theirs. Especially, right at the moment it happens. Just saying. Was it smart? Maybe not. Was it understandable? Yes. I’d go after a cougar if it had my huband or child (or even if I just suspected it was hiding them in a dungeon somewhere while it had sex with a hot Russian;))

Actually this opinion will not be popular, but I thought Sookie storming into Fangtasia’s was stupid. I mean honestly after what happened in Dallas with Lorena and getting all up in her face. She was almost killed until Godric stepped in. Sookie seems to forget they are vampires and could kill you as easily as have sex with you. I understand her suspecting Eric but she is just not cautious, ever, with what she says! She certainly didn’t learn her lesson in Dallas.

I agree that Sookie sort of didn’t think that through. And exactly what would have happened if he did have Bill in the dungeon? Not sure that approach would have helped really. I think Sookie still is under the impresseion that she can’t be harmed because she’s his.
But she probably also isn’t worried about Eric hurting her. Like she said in Dallas, he’s not going to want to make her upset if he wants her. I think she likes to push her limits, which usually ends up being dangerous.

Wow! The new season hasn’t even aired yet and it illicits this much discussion! I like that Eric is devious and the Bill has been involved in less scrupulous things. The little smirk that Eric flashed as Sookie was sucking the bullet out of his chest was so telling. And it looks like, from the promos, that Bill will do at least one thing that he regrets … again, this season. It’s all good. It’s all moving the story along and developing these characters.
Why does every discussion have to degenerate into who’s the better vamp? They are what they are … fictional characters. If I want to get upset about something, I’ll watch a Met game!

Bill is the perfect Southern Gentleman.His beige Henley and Khaki slacks makes him fit in with the BT locals(somewhat), then all of a sudden he is dressed in leather and jeans when he goes to see the Queen.* RED FLAG*.Bill is a WOLF in SHEEP clothing and (not in a good way).With the viking what you see is what you get and is the bad boy everyone warns you about.On paper Bill is the The BEST choice after all he is Mainstreaming and everything else is up to par with him, life for him couldn’t be better.

He was dressed in a leather jacket and jeans when he went to Merlotte’s before the tribunal.

Exactly, before he met the gullible telepath. I have got to hand it to Bill though, he is doing a great job, very convincing.

Um, he was already with Sookie if you recall. He was going to the tribunal because he killed Longshadow. They were already a couple. So to say that he wears certain clothes as if he is a wolf in sheeps clothing is really inaccurate.

I don’t remember seeing so many comments to one post before – OMG !!!
This clip has sure fired up passions in our fan group. I loved the clip.
It certainly shows a tete-a-tete between Sookie and Eric that has a confrontational tone. I think this will change as the season progresses, and Sookie will become more civil, even nice, to Eric, as he protects her in upcoming circumstances. This is all conjecture on my part. It just seems to be the way it will go this season. Can’t wait for the show to start. June 13th is getting closer!
