Spoilers: leave a heads up at the beginning of the comment.
The end.

Sidenote, after seeing how they began season 4, TrueBlood seems far more of a fanfic than a representation of the novels. Its as if the writers maybe looked at the book covers, and *just maybe* read the summery on the back. There is enough similar in themes, but I think at this point the plots are two different stories all together.

ugh, noo.
i don’t even know half the stuff their talking about.
the website is called WATCHtruebloodseries.
this got nothing to do with the books.
everybody knows the books are going to be different then the show.
_anyways i think lorena was in the dream because,
she was there to prove to bill she was the one for him , and sookie was a cheater.
anybody agree.?

Why are you even posting on this website if you dont like the show(not intended to be rude). Of course the True Blood will be different than the books (its like that with any show or movie that is based on a book) but in no way can the books and the show be compared. I agree with you that the Sookie Stackhouse Novels are way different than True Blood but that is what makes the show so good. True Blood is full of refreshing suprises for people who have and haven’t read the books, yet it still follows the main plotline of the books. If the show were to be exactly like the books, it would feel like we’ve read the books for no reason, only to have the book reenacted on the T.V. screen. True Blood would feel redundant and boring for those who have read the books and the show would loose alot of veiwers. In my opinion, I think you should find out what you are missing and watch the show.

i have read every book and the more i see how the books have been raped and ravaged, the plots are NOTHING like the books and i will never watch the series. i tried watching an episode last night with hugo and sookie, the most inane dialog and nothing like the book. i changed tha channel after 5 minutes. if you haven’t read them, do, as they are far superior. plus, i disagree with every casting of the characters, not the least, that tara is black????? eric is not goodlooking enough and puhleeeze… stick with the xmen, girl, she is the worst sookie i could ever imagine. sookie is a natural blonde! well, i just had to let off some steam, i hope all of you who like the series, find out what you are missing and buy a book!

I think we should be able to talk about whatever….I stand by my earlier comment that there should be a post for spoilers only. That way if you read it, its your own fault. There could be one each week just as the other posts about the last episode. Label is spoilers and let the people who have read the books have at it.

There should be no reason we can’t talk about it. Whether or not they follow the book to a T, its still based on the books and people are going talk about the differences. How could you not? I think the people who vote no are the ones who maybe haven’t read the books. They see no point in talking about it because for them True Blood is all there is.

Its hard because when you fall in love with a series and it gets put on TV or film you have certain expectations and can be very surprised and sometimes pissed that its not the way you thought or know the first source to be. You want to talk about it with others who feel the same…hense the 51% yes votes right now.

Im babbling now…I say yes but only in a seperate post for spoilers only. Other spoilers should be blocked.

either way… this poll is running pretty damn close… right now its like 51% for the block to 49% against it.

personally, i think that they shouldnt be allowed… or perhaps something that would be a spoiler, could be marked as such and if people wanna read it, they can click to read it from a drop down menu… kinda like Hulu, if anyone who has been on that site to watch shows knows what i mean

IDK, I think there is something inherient (sp) in human nature to want to know things. Even when there is a warning that the post contains spoilers, most of us who say we don’t want to know will still read it. So I guess that leads me to say leave the spoilers in, give a warning, and allow each individual to decide whether they want to read further.
