Members Juliajms Posted October 28, 2009 Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 You did not just go there. The books are basically fluffy vampire romance novels. Entertaining enough, but not exactly what I would well written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 29, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 29, 2009 That's what I found so disappoining--anyone who argues (and I know you weren't) that Alan Ball hasn't added another layer to the series that wasn't in the books has yet to convince me (but I won't read any of the further books until each season is done cuz of spoilers so maybe they're awesome by book 9 orwherever we are now--I was tempted to buy the new anthology collection of the short stories from various places) Fair enough not every change is an improvement to you. I'm an Eric fan, umm fanguy I guess but I don'tmidn the changes I've seen so far. And I LOVED Maryanne so so so so so so much that I didn't mind that I agree they carried her story on a BIT too far--still ti was way mroe interesting and organic to the plot then the Maynaed (was she nameless?) in the book who was attracted to that sex club.

Members MarkH Posted October 29, 2009 Members Share Posted October 29, 2009 Yup, that's why I'm staying away from the books. You're not an Eric "fanguy", you're an Eric "fang-guy", LOL. I think Eric is hot and all (obviously), but the character is NOT nice. I think he's the show's villain (eating children!!), and he remained so even in the face of losing Godric. That's fine with me...but I can't root for him to be with Sookie or anyone else...'cause he embraces his evil. He's "bad cop", by definition. Plus, and I'm so sorry to be admitting this, but I don't think I'll rest till Lafayette and Eric have a love scene, LOL. (Or maybe a Jason sandwich...I'm sorry!).

Members EricMontreal22 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 I agree it was if anything only an improvement on an already very good season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted November 5, 2009 Members Share Posted November 5, 2009 Then we shall not rest together. The moment Laf said he was having sex dreams about Eric I thought would it have killed Ball to have ONE LESS Maryanne orgy and let us see one of Lafayette's dreams? Come on!

Members BadZoe Posted November 6, 2009 Members Share Posted November 6, 2009 Marceline, it is probably coming but anticipation will add to it. I love that Eric is a villain. I hate pansy ass Vampires who don't embrace their evil and pretend to be above all that. Snobs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 LAFAETTE'S GETTING A BOYFRIEND!! SQUEEEEEEE! Ahem...sorry. My enthusiasm got the best of me. Apparently, TB has cast Lafayette's love interest for next season. And just look who playing his mother! So much win! http://justjared.buzznet.com/2010/01/04/true-blood-casting-lafayettes-love/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BadZoe Posted March 4, 2010 Members Share Posted March 4, 2010 So I wasn't going to read the books, but alas I got them for Christmas. I'm on the second book and they are a disappointment compared to the brilliance of the shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 4, 2010 The books are kinda like bad vampire romance. You realize the brilliance of Alan Ball, when you compare them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BadZoe Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 anyone hear the nasty rumour that Eric is going to be killed off because Stephen Moyer is jealous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted March 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 25, 2010 Moyer and *scandinavian name I can't remember* (Guy who plays Eric) have both laughed off the rumour--they even have a joint youtube interview on it. I wouldn't buy it for a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
