Show Tara vs book Tara

I didn't read the books but I'm doing a rewatch of the show.

I am not done yet but almost.

And I'm wondering is book Tara this terrorized??

I feel emotionally exhausted for show Tara like I keep wanting things to get better and easier for her and they just don't....

For those who have both read the books and watched the show, how do the vampires differ between them?

Watching for the first time, is there scenes trimmed/cut or is editing just bad?

Hello I'm watching the show for the first time on Max and keep noticing scenes ending abruptly as season 1 progresses and they seem to be getting more common. Otherwise enjoying the show but was wondering if anyone had any insight into this.

Eric in Zoolander

Watching Zoolander for the first time in awhile and I completely forgot Alexander Skarsguard plays one of the gasoline fight models! So funny to see him in this kind of role.

I love that Godric got the glory of being the only vampire to not explode upon death.

How would Jesus’ grandfather get his head?

Like maybe he knew he had died thru their magic connection (if there was one) but I’m assuming he was buried by Lafayette and Tara bc they didn’t seem to involve the police. And that means grandpa brujo just knew he died and drove up there to grab his head? I wish it was a bit more explained lol. Unless I missed something lmk!

Most Attractive Cast??

Seriously, why are there so many exceptionally attractive, beautiful people on this show. Even compared to other shows. Literally everyone is hot, there's a fair amount of diversity so that no matter what your type, they're probably represented. Everyone has a rocking body. You have your obvious ones like Eric, Jason, Alcide but then there's Terry, Jesus, Eggs, Lafayette, Sam, etc.. Same with the women. Even the "everyday, average" character Andy gets hot by the end. My husband and I are basically bi for True Blood, we revert back to our monogamous hetero selves after watching, but if we're binging we just are objectifying everyone of either gender constantly.

Too many Storyline

Season 1 was great in my opinion. Season 2 is up there. season 5,6,7 but what is happening? There was a lot going on from all ends of the earth.

We had Terry and (Jake Ballard/ Scandal) I forgot his name on the show, just know him from scandal being cursed by a witch. Sam meeting a shifter pack and Luna. Tara being ABUSED by a vampire. Sookie chasing bill for the 20th time. Lafayette and his boyfriend messing around with spirits, that whole witch drama. Andy and his 4 fae daughters. Bill becoming Billith. Crazily Psychotic. Tara and Pam starting to fall in love with each other. Alcide becoming pack master, next thing you know they are trying to take Emma away from Sam, because Luna is dead, just for them to lose her to Russel and Steve as a pet wolf. Sorry Jessica and Jason, never ever saw them being a thing. Never suited each other anyways. Eric and his “sister” having sexual relationships.

THE LIST GOES ON. Too much was happening that my brain has meshed it all together, because we had a minimal supernatural in season 1 and it became more full blown as we continued through the seasons.

ALSO TARA DYING! How you finna kill Tara off like that? That was a hot mess. Yh. Too much.

Most Iconic Moments

What do you think are some of the most iconic moments in the series? I think Lafayette's "AIDS burger" scene and Russell Edgington's monologue after he kills the news anchor ("Tiffany? 😇") are two I always turn the volume up for, but I'm sure there are more.

does sam ever get more likable?

just started watching. i cannot stand sam, he’s such a “nice guy”. does he ever get over sookie or at least stop being such a weird jealous asshole?

EDIT: i was half-hoping the replies would be filled with people getting offended on his behalf because that would mean he becomes likable to some degree. 😭 heartbroken to find most people saying he just gets worse 💔

Tricked by Google and questions about book canon

I watched this entire series through for the first time and just finished season seven.

I accidentally googled Sookie Stackhouse around season 4 or 5 and exited as quick as I could, but it gives her spouse as "Eric Northman" in pretty bold letters!

I was so disappointed when season seven dragged out and in the last forty minutes of episode ten I was like, well, I was skeptical from episode one of this season, but that Sookie/Eric romance definitely isn't picking up. Especially with a lot of Bill dialogue about how Sookie should never be with vampires, even directly telling Eric they're only drawn to her because she's fae. Ouch.

I do have a question. After season one, Bill starts gradually turning into a more evil character and there are actions of his that give us cues not to like him. Was this because of fan feedback? Was everyone rooting for Eric/Sookie?

How different are the books?

I'm on season 5, for the umpteenth rewatch, and I just can't with the whole lilith cult bullshit

I always stop around the time the witches appear, but I'm trying to force myself to push through...

But goddamn, this whole plot is so boring! I feel like I'm watching some evangelical cult crap...

Lafayette and the #5

Just finished my umpteenth rewatch and noticed something new. When Lafayette and Tara go to visit Ruby Jean, Lafayette is wearing a yellowish shirt with the number 5 on it. The morning after Jesus and Ruby Jean sleep over at LaLa's house, Lafayette is wearing a long dangling earring of the number 5.

I know the #5 is significant in many religions, credo's etc but does anyone know if it's anything specific to the character of Lafayette in the show?

Bill and Jessica

I love this show sm, I just started my second watch through and I just watched the episode where Bill had to become Jessica’s maker. It made me realize how serious of a father figure for her he was from day one, especially compared to her real father 🥹 the way he was so sorry for what he had to do, tried to glamour her at first and be gentle with her, held her in their grave, their dad/angsty teenage daughter dynamic when she was first learning to be a vampire, and finally how close they got by the end of it all. I just loved their dynamic.

Just finished my first watch through

And I’m not as disappointed as I thought i was gonna be. The only thing I’m still upset with is the fact they killed Tara. Her death was so pointless, and the whole gun thing was dumb. I never cared for Bill so I’m okay with him dying. I’ve always loved Jessica and Hoyt so him marrying her the day after he basically met her for the first time was so cute. I loved their wedding. I’m glad Jason and Bridgette married and had kids. And I really like Eric and Pam’s new business venture. Only thing I’m annoyed with is they didn’t really introduce us to Sookie’s husband. We sat through 7 seasons of this girls messy dating life, and we couldn’t meet him ??

Also I wonder is Holly and Andy’s kids are still messing around.

But I’m really curious as to y’all reasons why season 7 disappointed you guys ?

Edit: I’m actually annoyed as shit bc what am I supposed to watch now ?? I miss Lafayette already 😞Pls recommend me something similar and good to watch
