True Blood - Darling... King.

[shipperx]

I think I love Talbot. He's hilarious. And did like the King cutting Talbot's arguments off with "Darling... King." Heh.

Poor Tara. Franklin Mott is terrifying. And honestly, she won't be safe unless he's dead.

Terry looks so damn happy that you just know he's going to have his heart shattered in a million pieces.

Sookie is more interesting around Alcide. Which doesn't mean that I think they have any chemistry, just that in this storyline she has a bit more spunk than usual. I do think there's nice chemistry (thus far) with Lafayette and Jesus. Jesus is pretty. And Lafayette is all bashful with him. Awwww.

Hoyt is dating TBBT Wolowitz's girlfriend! And I guessed that Sam's little brother was going to be there to cause problems with Jessica and Hoyt... like they don't have enough already.

So I guess we know why Eric and Godric were hunting werewolves in WWII.

Yeah, but not until much later in the series. This was obviously moved up to beef up Kwanten's role (otherwise he'd have nothing to do). Ball must really be in love with him...

I kind of think he is. But it also doesn't bother me much that Ball borrows from later books and departs from them. While Ball has gone overboard with the sheer number of storylines, I don't think that that the show could survive on Sookie alone. Plus shows tend to establish casts in early seasons, fans develop affections for those characters, and so it makes a certain amount of sense to keep their stories going.

That said, he's overloading storylines per episode which was really why last week's episode was so horrid. You had all of this vicious incidents with women one on top of the other because they were all going on simultaneously. Ball needs to learn to edit. But, I'm guessing he won't because OTT has become True Blood's calling card. However, if TB is going to have this many storylines, AB needs to push them along now. They've been treading water on every front but the vampire king stuff (which, the vampire King has actually been somewhat amusing).

I think it helps that I haven't read the books. I don't have much in the way of expectations and no original text to compare it to but what I google. (I keep trying to make it through Book 4 and I just keep stalling so I doubt I'll ever get around to reading the books).

Oops! That was me!
