Is anyone watching True Blood on HBO?

[Kev]

Ok I've watched the first 3 episodes of this now and have a few hunches.

Does anyone else think that the barman (Sam?) is the dog in the courtyard?

The dog turns up every time Suki is in trouble, Sam is said to bark in his sleep, and he has a creepy picture in his office.

He's also said to Suki she can read his thoughts if she wants, which makes me believe she wouldn't be able to because he's not human.

Could he be a werewolf or some kind of shapeshifter?

Great show though, really enjoying it so far, and am hoping the twist is he is some kind of evil werewolf.

Any thoughts?

Sam's not the dog, remember he tossed a ball for the dog to go fetch. Oh wait, that might have been in the 4th episode that you haven't seen yet.

I didn't notice the picture in his office though, I'll have to look for that.

But the barking in his sleep was odd.

If I remember right, I think Suki has already read Sam's mind once.

I'm glad you're enjoying it Bilbo, it's a great show. Have you looked for the 4th episode yet? It premiered Sunday night, so you might be able to find it now. I can't wait to hear what you have to say about this episode.

I've not see the fourth episode, just watching the first 3 tonight. I think the show is great, I usually hate vampire stuff but this one is good because it focuses less on the nonsense and more on the real world relations.

Plus I like how its the first vampire flick to realistically potray how humans would respond to them, i.e half of them would treat them as the spawn of Satan and want them destroyed, whilst the other half would want to fuck them.

I've just watched the first episode again now and I'm sure Terra is a different actress in the first episdoe. I notice my episode 1 is labelled Screener so am downloading another version now in case there is another version out there. My first ep also has some writing that says 'Missing Scene 29' or something so maybe I've got a prerelease ep 1 that is missing a bit.


Back to Sam, there is definitely more to him than meets the eye. In the first episode when Suki meets the vampire and says she was suprised nobody else knew he was a vampire, he looked at Sam and said 'He Does.'

When we first see the dog and Suke tells Bill that she thinks he lives nearby he says 'No doubt.......' as if he knows something.

The fact it was mentioned that Sam barks in his sleep and that Bill seems to have some kind of wariness to him makes me think he's not human. He's definitely a werewolf, or shapeshifter or can talk to animals or something imo.

Also in the first episode who was the girl who was watching Suki when she had that chain and was about to hit that guy draining the blood from Bill?

I initially thought it was Terra but she clearly had some magic power because she swung the chain around his neck and tied it before running off?

I'm going to rewatch the second ep now and try and work out some more.

Really cool series though, and I love the title music at the start

Cheers for the heads up on it
