fans of Eric's amnesia story line from the books will have to wait for at least one more season.

That makes sense since it deosn't happen until the 4th book.

I have to say, if Ball is such a huge Bill fan I don't understand why he doesn't try to make him less boring. I know he doesn't have much raw material to work with since Bill is just as dull in the books, but I don't really understand where all this affection is coming from and he has a terrible way of showing it to us on the screen.
