    I finally saw it. I thought it was going to be bad. I watched the first episode, and got pretty hooked.

    I didn't really like the first episode, but have really enjoyed subsequent ones. It's an interesting show.

    Finally finished all of them.


    SPOILERS
    Vampire Bill. LMAO!
    The detective likes bill, but doesn't like the brother. The sheriff likes the brother, but don't like Bill.

    I think the bar owner is a werewolf. That's why he was running around the swamps naked. Why did the bar owner kill grandma? I reckon he killed the other 2 girls because they were sleeping with vampires?

    Why did Sucky let the vampire bite her? Why hasn't she turned into one? Bill is still evil. Look what he did to uncle wheelchair. He's just looking for an excuse to eat humans. He's no different from the rest of his nesting compadres.

    Why do you think the bar owner killed the grandmother? As to why Sucky (that name's a bit ridiculous for a girl dating a vampire) let the vampire bite her, it was simply the next step in her relationship. Basically, she was just "putting out", like any other girl.

    Sucky the blood sucker, Rogue, or whatever - Putting out finally is one thing, but it did seem strange about wanting to be bitten already. This show is unsusual in that vamps can drink some blood without killing the person. Also, they are able to bite without converting the other person or affecting them it seems. So if biting a person doesn't convert them, what does?

    Apparantly, drinking vampire blood can change a person. We saw Sucky get heightened senses in an earlier episode, but then, they never brought it up again which does not give closure to that plotline.

    These murders are definitely mysterious. I do think the bartender is a werewolf, but is he the killer of all these people? Not sure. Very speculative at this point. We know that the coroner's new assistant is a vampire also, but seems to be harmless. I'm sure reviewing the events, we can find some clues that make it clear who did it, and what their motive was. Grandma's death seems she might be a different case from the other two considering the disimilarities.

    In interview with a vampire, a person had to be drained of enough blood to kill them and then, as they were dying, drink vampire blood. As their human body died, they were reborn as a vampire.

    Based on yesterday's episode, I'm starting to think that you're right about the bar owner being a werewolf. Also, it looks like we may just find out how you convert someone into a vampire.

    I hope he's not a werewolf, as they have been signalling that too strongly. I'd like to think the show is more clever than that. I'd rather they be more subtle about it if he were a werewolf.

    I've got to say, I've never been too impressed with werewolves. A man turns into a wolf. Which is basically a big, mean, dog. Big, frickin' deal. It is cool in movies when they show someone turning into a wolf. Nice special effects. But in the end, what do you have? A big, mean dog. Doesn't really strike fear in my heart.

    Detective Andy actually called the nudist colony. My first inclination that he was a werewolf was when he banged black girl. Black girl said something about barking in his sleep. The first thing that came time my mind was werewolf.

    The brother is clearly an idiot. He actually let that white bitch drag him into kidnapping and possible murder. If gay dude didn't want to sell the blood to the Sucky's brother, why didnt' the new white girl just go ahead and buy it?

    I don't see Sucky having such a great time by being taken to Fangtasia, and used as a lie detector. Some date. She should have told him to kiss her ass. Then go find somebody to take her on a real date. Not the werewolf though. He's creepy. Also, wtf was Vampire Bill doing naked in the dirt? And couldn't they have at least showered before going at it? That was gross.

    I would speculate that the vampire bartender who stole all that money will get sent to vampire prison as they all agreed upon. Police will get more suspicious of Mr. Merlotte. Still, who could have stranglated those women, and kill grandma steakhouse?

    I had the feeling that the bar guy might be the dog that we always see, but I dismissed that in the episode when they showed him playing with that dog by his trailor. What's up with that?

    As he explained, there needs to be a real dog for him to use as a model.

    Bloody shapeshifter. And he loses control at a full moon. Why was he sniffing around the bed of the girl that died. I still can't seem to figure out who tried to kill sucky at the bar. Might be Sam. Sucky found out his identity, and wants to kill her like he did the others who probably found out about him. Maybe shapeshifters have a need to kill in order to keep their original human form together. Who knows?

    Maybe it wasn't him. Sucky ran right outside, and there was Sam fully clothed. Then you hear footsteps of the badguy running out there.

    Who was that white woman that Tara almost ran into? I think she was bold. It looked like Dawn actually.

    Ever see The Cat People with Nastassja Kinski and Malcolm McDowell? Cool David Bowie soundtrack and lots of Nastassja nudity! Anyway, that's how it worked with the cat people. They would change form from human to panther when sexually aroused and could not turn back into a human until they'd killed someone.

    Never saw that. When Jason was talking to the 2 white guys outside about his girlfriend being addicted to V, I figured it was one of them that was the killer, but I guessed that tall blonde one. It turns out, the black haired one is the killer who killed his own sister. But for what?

    What is going on with this lady taking Tara to live in her big huge house? She looks exactly like Dawn.

    Why did that gay dude go talk to that senator against vampire rights?

    What will become of this new vampire girl?

    NOOOO!
    Not the gay guy. He's my favorite character.

    I hope they find him, and bring him back to the show. Sucky should kick Vampire Bill's ass for what he did to gayness.

    The detective deserves what he gets for finding a dead body in his car. I wonder who it is. I'd guess it is that shapeshifter lady. And Sam did it. Or something is going on that is making Sam want to flee. Perhaps he was on the run, and this shapeshifter congregation tracked him down. I'd say Benedict Egg is one of them too. Evil shapeshifters.

    I don't get it. If all these vampires can heal people with their blood, why haven't they just startedimplementing it as part of society? Obviously they're selling human blood like a soft drink. Vampires can open up clinics and make money healing people. There would be no major need for doctors other than biology or gene research.

    And why the hell didn't Vampire Bill just heal Lafayette when they rescued him? Why didn't Sookie just free Lafayette in the frirst place instead of bargaining with Eric? It's that damn easy. Just rescue him, and make Eric back off. They caught his ass red for stealing the black man.

    Otherwise, what exactly is it that is holding these vampires back from taking over? Apparently they're a highly organized community with well defined power structures and rules. Not only that if they're so powerful that they can just kidnap and kill people and get away with it, all they have to do is tell anybody else to kiss their ass.

    Vampires still get their asses killed, even the very old ones, older than Eric. They are even concerned when Godfrey disappears in Texas, and he's supposedly the oldest vampire in North America.

    As for why vampires don't heal people, there are a couple of reasons. Mostly, I imagine they don't care to. Sure, they could make money at it, but who needs money. Vampire's should generally be rolling in dough. The magic of compound interest works especially well over the course of centuries, and as for a nest egg (A) thouse people you feed on likely have assets, so there's the simple robbery route to wealth and (B) you should start saving your stuff now, as nice furtniture today become fabulous antiques tomorrow.

    Second, as soon as the public learns that you have magic healing blood, you become a target. People don't care if they drain you dry and dead, vampire, as long as they are healed. What's that? You say "No, please stop taking my blood, I don't have any more?" Silly vampire, pleading and sympathy are for those with souls, unlike you.

    Do you think the government would not have captive vampires in storage, if their blood could be used to heal wounded soldiers and turn them into supermen?

    As for Lafayette, Bill likely just doesn't care enough to share blood with him. As for bargaining with Eric...how far would Lafayette have made it without the bargaining? If she had released him, Eric might have just killed him first, and then asked questions. It seemed prudent to me.
