Hell no.

In the books, and I can tell you this because the books are very different from the show because Alan Ball is insane, Bill doesn't even love Sookie; the Queen sent him to seduce Sookie so she could be used and he only falls for her around the time she risks everything to save his life and then rapes her for sex and blood while half starved and trapped in a trunk with her because Debbie Pelt shoved her in there with him. The character of Bill is flat, and the television portrayal of him is similar enough that I wonder how the hell people can like this guy!

Eric is a much better, more three-dimensional, character. At least he is upfront about being a manipulative bastard, but one who finds himself actually caring about a human when he has spent centuries not giving a damn about a single one of them. His illogical obsession with Sookie scares and intrigues him. To me, that's a whole lot better than someone as flat and unemotional as Bill Compton. (I'm sorry, 'growling' "Sookie" does not do anything to make me believe he actually cares about her on a personal level)

interesting opinions... We don't really dislike any of the characters, but we do enjoy the sequences from Eric's past, since we can understand the words that are being said (spoken swedish is close enough to Norwegian for us to understand it)
It also helps that we like vikings...

Anyways, there's lots of potential in many of the characters... Even in Bill...

There is plenty of potential in Bill. I just doubt any of it will ever be used. ](*,)

...I'm a bit jealous about the language knowledge... 8-[ I also like vikings...

Just finished season 3, some great stuff in it, loved the twist with Bill having been sent by the queen, and fact he set Sooki up for a beating so he could save her the first night they met, kinda spins the whole thing round again. But overall Bill is still a dull character, also if really wanted to kill Eric why didnt he finish him off when he had the chance, and why send a 2nd rate assassin to kill Pam, and why challenge to queen when a surprise attack obviously makes more sense against an older stronger vamp.

Eric is clearly the star vamp, and the more interesting character with a better history, but again why didnt he kill Bill, and encasing the King in concrete seems very short term.

I would like to have seen more of Jessica learning how to be a vamp, she has great potential if they would just cut out the lovey dovey crap with Hoyte. If we're lucky Hoyes mum will shoot him by mistake when she tries to kill Jessica, then Jessica will go on a mad killing spree :lol:

Not sure about the fairy stuff, great that Sooki gets new powers but the whole garden/pond stuff was boring

Guessing the witch theme is up for series 4 now with Lafayette and his boytoy now they've done vamps, warewovles, shapeshifters etc, still havent seen Sam turn into anything interesting, Im mean really if you were a shapeshifter why a lame little dog, I would like to have seen him be a bear or lion taking on the wolves.

Still think its a shame they killed off Godrick so early, I see they regretted this and tried to bring him back in Eriks visions, wonder if they will try to bring him back a bit more.



Overall still a great show and loved the series, cant wait for more evem though the ending was bit lame. Lets all hope HBO dont do their usually trick of canceling it like they did with Deadwood & Rome.




I sing it everytime the episodes starts, so sing it with me :lol:

When you came in the air went out.
And every shadow filled up with doubt.
I don't know who you think you are,
But before the night is through,
I wanna do bad things with you.

I'm the kind to sit up in his room.
Heart sick an' eyes filled up with blue.
I don't know what you've done to me,
But I know this much is true:
I wanna do bad things with you.

When you came in the air went out.
And all those shadows there filled up with doubt.
I don't know who you think you are,
But before the night is through,
I wanna do bad things with you.
I wanna do real bad things with you.
Ow, ooh.

I don't know what you've done to me,
But I know this much is true:
I wanna do bad things with you.
I wanna do real bad things with you.

Mezzanine I had to ignore most of your post as we don't yet have season 3 in the UK :neutral: but you can get that song, I downloaded it - it's called Bad Things by Jace Everett. It's good full volume in the car :D

I loved seasons 1 and 2, my fave character is either Erik or Lafayette (spelling?). Bill can be annoying but I think the actor is great, and he's british and married to Anna Paquin so it's not all bad lol.
