As of now, Bill and Sookie are crazy in love. While Eric has Sookies emotions and feelings inside of himself after forcing her to suck the Silver out of Eric, Eric starts the Mind games with Sookie. Those mind games, IMO will end up being more EVENTUALLY, maybe not until season 4 or end of season 3. As of now their is NO REASON TO THINK SOOKIE AND ERIC ACTUALLY GET TOGETHER. And When Bill goes to the Queen on help/advice on how to kill MaryAnne, Either the Queen is 1. Dead from Maryanne, or 2. Just feeding on humans. People who watch the show DO NOT NEED TO READ THE BOOKS FOR THIS!!!! The Books of Sookie Stackhouse are just an OUTLINE for Allan Ball to make this series and continue it! Do not read too much into it.

Bill would never ever leave Sookie willingly. He will be forced or blackmailed (for her protection) into it, if he leaves at all.

She will be in the next episode I will rise, so it will be interesting to see if she will be a show regular going forward.

Bill said they will never meet up again has me to believe those two will be crossing sooner than he thinks because as she said they are immortal and forever is a mighty long time.

The way she is looking in the promo of the next episode she doesn’t look like she left town as was told to do.

Eric would totally move in on her then.

However, I actually find Stan sexy!! That outfit, the Texas standoff attitude, his beard. He reminds me a little of a Village People version of a Texan, but for some reason I still think he is hot.

I need medication…(too long until Sunday)

I think AB goes with the basic storyline of the books, but when CH kills off someone who is a major part of the cast, he takes things in a different direction.

I think AB also changes the story to shake things up and also when CH has made something a little to simple. AB likes to amp up the drama.

.What if Bill is actually going to get help re-Maryanne and Eric steps up to mess with Sookie, but then Bill is forced to get an actual position in the heirarchy (like the book) in order to keep Eric at bay? Then we know AB is going to go with the theme of book 3 in which Lorena and Bill’s disappearance happens.

Also–I wish they had gone the way of the book with Isabell and Hugo. I would like to see her again and do not want them to kill her off.

I don’t understand why everyone thinks True Blood fans need to read the Sookie Stackhouse books. I’ve read the first three, and bits and pieces from the rest, so I know that Alan Ball has made a ton of changes. For example, in the first book, Bill leaves toward the end to get into vampire politics so Eric won’t have as much power over him. In season 1, Bill is carted off to a tribunal because he killed Longshadow to save Sookie’s life. Not only does this change the reason for his leaving, casting Bill in a much better light, it also changes Longshadow’s death from being at Eric’s hands to being at Bill’s.

In the book, Bill wasn’t even around when Sookie was nearly killed by Rene. In the show, he nearly died trying to save her.

In the season 2 opener, Bill told Sookie that she was his miracle, his second chance at a love he thought he would never feel again. He doesn’t say anything like this in the second book. And, for that matter, in the books he always seems a bit cold, but on the show it’s obvious that he’s disgustingly in love.

In the second book, Bill feeds on someone ordered from room service. In the show, not only does he not drink anything but True Blood (aside from Sookie’s blood, of course), he’s scandalized at the idea of Jessica feeding off the young man she ordered from room service.

On the show, we get Lorena in season 2, when she didn’t even show up until book 3, and it’s made very clear that while she’s physically stronger than he is, she can’t manipulate him the way she could in the books. It’s also very clear that Bill doesn’t want anything to do with her, and will obviously not be cheating on Sookie with her any time soon.

In subsequent books, a big part of the reason that Sookie gets with Eric is because Bill cheated on her with Lorena. She actually develops feelings for Eric, which is understandable in the context of the books. But in the books Eric never chained up Lafayette in the basement of Fangtasia, which is a huge strike against him on the show. He was never so obvious as to call in Lorena to get between Bill and Sookie, either. And it’s clear that he doesn’t love her, he just wants her because she’s special. Also, up until episode 2.8, Sookie doesn’t really have anything good to say about Eric at all, so the fact that she starts to have feelings for him, combined with the spoilers for episode 2.9, it’s more than likely that the feelings on one side of the potential love triangle are a product of Eric’s manipulations, and not real.
