There I said it. It's out there.
I have been denying it all season, hoping for the best. Maybe it's just me. I couldn't stand the wait between episodes last season so started on the books. I read pretty much all 9 (that were out at the time) in a few weeks. Maybe that was my mistake. But they were so damn good I couldn't stop.
I understand why they have had to deviate from the books so much. The books are Sookie's POV and they need to have stories that are about all the characters but I feel that they lost some of the essence of what I liked so much about the characters.
Maybe I'm just sore because they seemed to have skipped over the development of Sookie dumping Bill and hanging out with Eric like in the 4th book 'Dead to the World'. My favourite of the books. Sorry if you didn't want to get spoiled.
What don't I like about this season? Russel Edgington, the whole Talbot mush in an urn is a bit OTT, and that scene with male prostitute did not resonate with me at all. Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill - nothing I'm liking about him - and the Lorena back story was boring with a capital B. Illicit V selling, yawn.
What am I liking? I thought they'd keep Franklin Mott around a bit more, the terrorizing of Tara was boring but he had some of the best laugh out loud moments of the season. "Hey, Tara, see how fast I type "motherf**ker." Cool, right?". Lafeyette, anything with him really, he's great. I'm glad they kept him around (which they didn't in the books).
One more episode to go in Season 3 and the series has already been renewed for a Season 4. Ratings are better than ever pulling in 5.39 mil for the episode before last. Maybe I'm being too harsh but my expectations were/are so high. Season1 and 2 were amazing. Who knows, this last episode may pull it all together and blow me away. Bring it on!
