You know what this show's problem is? Bill and Sookie are the least interesting characters out of the entire cast. They are pretty much only interesting because of their hysterical normality. The show itself even seems to realize this. Why are they the main characters?
I wish Lafayette and Tara were the main characters. ;; They're awesome. And - okay, uh. Am I the only one who finds Lafayette ridiculously hot? I'm just sayin', okay. I am ready for him to have an actual love interest instead of just a string of dirty old man clients. I hear this actually happens in S3. AWESOME.
I wiki'd for who was playing him (Nelsan Ellis) b/c oh my god that man can act his ass off? And incidentally discovered that in the novels, Lafayette dies at the point that the first season ends. Why am I not surprised, ugh. Black AND gay? Jfc it's a miracle he didn't implode on the page. =_=;
Anyway, in closing, Lafayette will, in fact, make you eat the AIDS BURGER.

non sparkly vampires such as Ericplot, marathoned half of the second season and third season in a weekend :D :DYou know what this show's problem is?

I do not care for their Tru Wuv at all and in Season 3, I had serious problems with Sookie's characterization. They should make the show all about Eric and Pam and Lafayette and Tara *nods*
And yeah, True Blood is a show where I alternate between OMG SO ADDICTIVE and OMG WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON DID THEY REALLY JUST GO THERE. I...I have a complicated relationship with it, what can I say.

Seriously, so much of this show's draw is trainwreck appeal that I wonder if I should feel embarassed for enjoying it, lol.
True Blood's most delightful aspect is absolutely that 'train-wreck soap opera' thing it has going on.
I am deeply crossing my fingers to get a serious reduction of Bill and Sookie. I actually find the characters far more interesting when they're apart than when they're together. When they're apart, there is far less truewuv and far more 'I'm a young Southern Gentleman vampire' and 'I'm a psychic waitress', which leads to more hijinks!
Lafayette, Tara, Pam, Eric and even Sam are characters that I find far more interesting than the Sookie/Bill show. Luckily, latter seasons have far less Sookie/Bill show. :D
...Wow.
The times I like Bill and Sookie are the times like the scene where they're flailing around at the vampire hotel check-in. Basically, when they are being hilarious. Otherwise, they're kind of... zzz. Really, every single person, even Jason, is much more interesting (regardless of relative likability).
