This is a bit gutting, I was hoping for the usual 20 episodes or something

I hope it gets a few series though it is shaping up to be a great series.

By the way has anyone here ever watched Carnivale? I know that got a load of praise a few years back and was another strange supernatural type show although I've never seen it myself. Is it worth hunting down?

I was always insterested in that show but it was near the end of season one when I caught on. I have tried to rent them from the library but like most of there stuff it has been scratced to hell and will not play.

OK, so I forgot to tell someone I would cover for them tonight, so I ended up working a fucking double. Thus I wasn't able to answer my weed guys' calls meaning I didn't do anything but fucking bus tables tonight. I did get some bomb middle eastern chicks number though, that would be a new one. So no True Blood tonight.

I've got the 4 episodes now, looking forward to watching them this weekend

NEVER, say that outloud in public!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I just watched Episode 5, and damn it, I can't say anything yet, because I don't want to ruin it for Bilbo, since he has to download it.

But I can't believe the ending!!!!!!!

I will at least say, I'm glad that we find out how Bill became a vampire, that's not giving anything away.

And geez, that Jason, what a twat!!

Okay, Sam is probably a werewolf or something.

I still can't believe the ending though.

Not sure if any of you were aware of this but it seems TruBlood is based on a series of books called Southern Vampire Mysteries

A friend pointed that out to me this weekend. I doubt that I will read them until the series has ended. Whenever that is...

Amazon.com: southern vampire: Books

Definitely a cool ending. Suprised me because I always thought there was something odd about Sookies gran, she seems to be too much a friend of vampires imo.

I actually thought the girl who bit Bill to make him a vampire looked a lot like how she would have looked if younger and I still think there is something strange going on there.

I was expecting her to play a pivotal role later on, with some kind of revelations regarding Sookie's own creation, half vampire or something? Her death so early suprised me.

As to the third death, I wonder who is doing them? I don't think it's Bill, too obvious and like he said, vampires can't resist a fresh corpse so I guess Sam is the prime suspect, still not sure if he's good or evil.

Thus far I believe all the murders have been carried out by an as yet unintroduced character, probably non human AND non vampire.......

It's looking more and more like Sam's a werewolf though and was interesting to see the dog at the beginning once again spying on Sookie. Sam?

It was also interesting that vampire Bill could hear the conversations going on in the church. Not sure if he was displaying special hearing or if he was reading their thoughts like Sookie.

Meanwhile Sookie's brother Jason continues to live the dream

Ok another thought that just occured to me and might be relevant.

The first two victims were both bitten by vampires, that has been stressed. Also both female.

So will we discover that Sookies gran was bitten by a vampire?

I'm certain that we will and that obviously this could be a big reveal.

I mean presumably she wouldn't have shagged a vampire in the couple years that they have officially existed as she's in her 70's.

So if she has been bitten then it would probably have been years ago when she was young, so she must have come across a secret vampire.....

Ok this is wild speculating, but could it be Bill? Could she have had an affair with Bill 50 years or so ago? Can vampires impregnate women?

I just feel that something about Sookies mind reading condition is supernatural and is due to her gran.

There's definitely something going on with her, I'm suprised she has died this early but I do think there is something integral to Sookie's back story that lies with her mysterious gran.

One thing I'm certain about, is that Sookies gran was not just bitten by a vampire, which will come out in the next episode virtually guaranteed, but that she had a love affair with one. This would explain why she wanted Sookie to experience it so much.

I'm sure Bill knows something about this too. Maybe Bill and Sookies gran were once in love, or maybe Bill knows the vampire Sookies gran was in love with?

Also what happened to Bill's vampire girlfriend?

Also does anyone remember the very first episode when Bill was being drained by that couple and Sookie saved him with the chain?

Who was the girl who was watching and then helped tie the chain around the guys neck with some kind of telekines before running off?

Could that have been Bills's original vampire lover?

I'm going to watch it again now.

Damn I'm rambling on

[BoxingGorilla]

About the rolling on the bed scence...

Dogs like smells. My dog Mister will roll in a pile of my dirty clothes. So if Sam was good friends with Dawn he may have went there to remember her.

I've decided I'm going to watch all these ondemand tonight over a bowl, or two or three. Of course if I don't like it I'm going to turn it off and watch American Gangster or maybe Mosley Mayorga. The first episode better be captivating this is my first smoke in a loooong time.

Ploppie Flower, I hope you are right.

I went by
True Blood (a Titles & Air Dates Guide)

I always use them. If you went to an official site I would say you are right and I am wrong.
