Lets hope Jessica gets all kinds of naked in the season premiere.
Please. :whistle:
Amd they should have waited until next season to show
Eric got out
. Would have been a good cliff hanger.
I actually prefer the one we got. It's more in line with the books, I think, and gives us more Eric/Pam.
Though of course having that cliffhanger and then just having him show up halfway through next season naked on the side of the road also would've been funny.
So, is Eric/Sookie eventually to happen now pretty much a sure thing?
What will the role of Bill be?
Well, since Book Spoilers are warned of in the thread title I guess I can include them.
Bill basically disappears after book three, once Sookie finds out the reason he came to Bon Temps.
It's basically the Sookie & Eric Cavalcade of Supernatural Hijinx from Book 4 on.
However, Stephen Moyer is married to Anna Paquin, so methinks they're going to include him quite a bit more.
I don't know how the Eric/Bill relationship went in the books, but I imagine that he'll spend at least part of next season trying to kill Eric and Pam. Possibly also anyone else Sookie makes friends with once she gets back from the Fairy Town Soul Train Dance-Off.
I don't know, they were hinting at Alciede getting his taste of the pie pretty hard. Also, he's not a vamp and has been very trust worthy for her thus far.
At this point I wouldn't blame Bill if he just drained Sookie in the season opener when she's rolling around with Werewolf Guy. Then he can focus on teaching Jessica and interact with Eric and Pam more.
Even if he had all the time in the world to teach Jessica I don't believe he has much caring to do so, so far he has mostly put up with her because he was suppose to do so and ordered to do it as punishment.
For the most part he's been happy to do everything but teach her.
That's just because of stupid Sookie. He's always having to save her and whatnot. He's not just going to forget about Jessica totally, he wouldn't have basically thrown his life away to save her from Russell if he didn't feel responsible for her to some degree.
I feel bad for Jason this season. I guess he got too much badass time last season that he had to be shelved this time around. The setup with him trying to become a cop was great, and he got to deliver one of my favorite lines of the entire season ("If you and I are gonna be roommates, there's a certain amount of.. pussy overflow you're gonna have to get used to dealing with"). But I never bought his sudden falling in love with unattractive shifter bitch, and him caring so much about the inbred kids... Surely the DEA would be able to deal with helping those people better than he can?

It's not at all the DEA's business to help people.
Best case scenario, everyone would be shipped off to foster care / mental healthcare facilities / prison.
In a series that has some of the most amazing cliffhangers on a weekly basis, I thought this season finale was weak. Other then the doll in the house nothing was the least bit exciting really.
Season three pretty much felt that way to me - I guess I really like season two that much better.
Heh, will always be hard to top Russel closing off that one episode with "And now the weather!" Yeah, season 3 was better than season 2 IMHO but to me that is like saying one gem sparkles a bit more than another, still fun shiny shit either way.
It seems silly to spoil episode details, and not spoil future book happenings.
As for the finale - not close to last years, but still pretty good. Although burying a guy for 100 or so year, seems a bit - dumb. Yes, staking him is too quick, but there surely could be other more permanent prisons for a Vampire.
No, staking him isn't too quick. They should have staked the hell out of him while inside a silver coffin, then thrown the goop in the sun, then sprinkled silver water in it and sealed it up with silver chains and tons of C4. That has silver chunks stuck all over it. And THEN buried it.
Which makes me realize how stupid Bill's assault on the Queen was. Yeah, it gave us the measure of how he has nothing to lose and is willing to just go head on, but: 1)It looked cheesy as hell 2)if she had walked into the house and into some kind of death trap or just a shotgun blast of silver/wood it would have been damn awesome.

Seriously, my wife and I just burst out laughing at the Queen/Bill thing. I don't know how anyone working on that show wouldn't realize how fucking stupid that looked.

I haven't read the books but my understanding is the show has deviated from them so much by now that book spoilers are just as much speculation as anything we hypothesize on our own.
I hate spoilers and go to lengths to avoid them myself, but I don't mind the book spoilers for that reason, they're just extra fluff from an alternate universe. Apparently Lafayette's supposed to be dead, Jessica isn't supposed to exist and Russell doesn't do any of the crazy stuff that went on this season. Hearing stuff like that just makes me glad the HBO writing staff knows what they're doing

:^: after Bill's surprising, awesome, and in-character betrayal of Pam and Eric, I was disappointed to see him confront The Queen head on. And it looked terrible. They're going to have him win via plot armor too, which is the dumbest thing of all. If you're going to do something like that, follow it out to the logical end: have her defeat him and have him back under her thumb. Now he has to balance being under the Queen's control and dodging whatever tail she puts on him to keep him in line, with his stated desire of protecting sookie by murdering motherfuckers with extreme prejudice. Is she Queen of LA and MI now?

My fondest hope is that they do not follow the books, because in my opinion after about book 3 Sookie becomes a completely unlikeable fickle shallow person.
edit: Actually she's always been pretty fickle, it just didn't annoy me until after book 3.

Well, the logical conclusion if he loses is she rips his head off. So....yeah, Plot Armor. Or, they could read this thread and have him cheat somehow the second we return to that scene. Like, say, he now has illusion powers too and it's not really him! THAT'S how he did Eric's voice so perfect! This all seems to obvious! Or...where did Sookie go? To right between them and she'll hand-blast the Queen! I almost buy these...
Or they could have re-enacted the Kuei-jin ending from VtM.

Man if Bill wins it'll be so dumb. Especially since the second line out of every vampire upon getting into any sort of conflict with another vampires is "I am older and stronger than you."

i'm beginning to get the sense, however, that while that is a standard form of vampiric penis measuring, it might not be as simple as "lol i'm higher level nub"
especially when you get vampires who have been dandies and princesses for much of their un-life vs. those that haven't.

I know Kung-fu!
It reminded me of the Matrix spoof scene in one of the Scary Movie movies.
It was a pretty horrible special-effects bit. They both just... hovered. And they didn't look good doing it at all. It just made me laugh, and I hope that's what everyone working on that scene was going for. >.>
The internet has calmed my fears that I was the only person in the world who didn't get the doll thing.
It was specifically mentioned that Whatshername likes dolls. The doll on the floor might be a sign that she's been snooping around, leaving behind dolls the way other people leave fingerprints. Maybe she's a supernatural with doll-based powers.

remember in like episode 2 or 3 of season 1 when sookie asked bill if he could levitate and he said no, such a liar.
also my bet is sophie-anne and bill end up fucking
I don't know if I was in a bad mood or what, but it seemed like latest episode was full of Dues Ex Machina bullshit.
Something cool is going to happen!
but we won't kill Eric or the King
and then!
eric magically escapes the cement with no explanation
and of course
Sam runs across his brother who has at least a 12 hour head start.
I'm also getting really really really fucking tired of the sookie/bill I love you, no i don't, yes i do, no i don't, yes i do...ad naseum

I thought season two went on forever when it could have been done in half the time.
This season was so much better then the last in so many ways, the constant "Oh shits" in the finale helped with that.
He's not gone, they literally stored him for later usage
