I watched the whole season, and found it interesting and unique at first. But once "shapeshifters" came into play, it went well beyond what I feld I had originally signed up for, and I've lost interest. I did TiVo the rest of the season and watched it, but only after the fact, and I just wanted the episodes to be over. The only character I remotely like is Sookie.

Moonlight was a far better show. True Blood is better than crap like John from Cincinnatti, but it's extremely overrated. It's not close to being as interesting or entertaining as Fringe, which is not all that original itself.

If you've read the books, I think you know what the new creature is...

A drama golden globe?? Drama? More like comedy!

Hell yeah I'm watching it! I guess there's no news on Lafayette. It's probably wishful thinking on my part to think that he might still be alive after that last scene in the finale. And I'm not looking up spoilers online to see if he died in the books.

I watch it because for some odd reason it sucked my husband in. I could care less.

I only read this so I could tease him. LOL

remind me, which one is Sara? is she the teenage vampire?

and when you say Bill and Sookie travel to Dallas to find one of their own, what does that mean? Another vampire/ human couple????

Lafeyette better still be alive, or chances are I wont be watching...

I love the show! I am a huge fan of the book series and some of the storylines that are not in the book are pretty good, too. Although I have to say I like Tara better in the book than on screen. I'm glad the next season goes into the second book when they go into Dallas. That was one of my favorite storylines. I hope they stay true to it and I hope that they actually film some of it here in my hometown!

True Blood is my favorite new show, too. I can't wait for the second season. It's great to hear about the nomination

DVD comes out on May 12, 2008?

I better go back in time and buy that, Jane :-P

True Blood is indeed one of my favorite new shows this year. I love the conecpt and the characters. I'm a little nervous about how they are going to incorporate all the new creatures from the books into the show, but I'm excited.

Relly - Thanks for catching that 2008! Just changed it.

cdawg - I'm a little worried about Lafayette, too. I haven't read the books, so I'm watching from a purely TV series perspective. I'll be bummed if he's not around, because he's a great character.

These spoilers suck! (pun intended)

We wanna know about Lafayette.

i haven't read the book and don't care to, but if the book says Lafayette is dead, they had better change it.

sometimes you have to recognize the talent in the actor, and the actor who plays Lafayette has what you call in the industry "IT". he steals every scene he is in.

i don't know where this guy came from, but based on the commenters above, Lafayette is a keeper.

i will quit watching if he is gone.

any amens??????????

Show is okay, not great. I did and will watch it, because it is more interesting than a lot of what is on, even though it is far from perfect.

One thing that was close to perfect was Lafayette. My theory is that he is not dead in the human sense, and has instead been "made" and is a vampire. Clearly, he was attacked by Bill, and I suspect Bill wouldn't leave him for "dead."

Is he in Dallas? Is he the "one of their own?"

I can't wait til they get to the 3rd season- the 3rd book was my favorite.

All I wanna know is will Lafayette be back?

Haven't read any of the books but I hear from someone who's read them that Lafayette dies...some of these series have been known to divert very much from the books they're based on...if he's dead...well...I don't watch it any more...know what would be fun, if they made him a vampire!

Can't wait until the next season! In the mean time I've really started to wonder if Sookie will become a vampire in the up coming season, maybe Bill has to do it becasue a vampire or the new unknown creature is out to get her. Do you guys think it's possible?

im not telling what happens, but really? you wont watch if lafayette is dead? youre right he is a great character, and actor, but dont you want the show to keep a storyline going? dead or not, im watching every season they make.

and if you havent read the books, i highly recommend it. no, theyre not exact to the show, but you get so much detail, and so much back story, and theyre very well written, and enjoyable. i like that the books and the show differ like they do...i think it kinda keeps you tuned in to each a little more because you dont always know whats going to happen next, even with the knowledge you do have.

great job harris. and great job ball.
ill be tuning in, for sure!

I just love, love, love the books and I have fallen in love with the show.

I really like Eric (if you read the books, you'll understand....)
