The Awkward moment where you learn you’re just like your mother long after she was gone. Yes sometimes we’re JUST like our parents without any influence from them.
Watched this today for the first time. Very disturbing movie.
Kill your darlings right? I heard it was good I never seen it. in some of those pictures I almost thought Alex looked kinda like Steven Tyler ha.

I'm not from Sweden: TVLine: Alan Ball on why there was no Sookie/Alcide this season
“The decision to not do it this season [came about because] every single season, it’s been all about Sookie falling in love with this person or that person,” exiting showrunner Alan Ball tells TVLine. “It seemed like she had…
I think the even though he doesn’t want to admit it part about Eric, wasn’t about the words Eric says to Sookie, but how he acts in front of others. We’ve all made similar comments about Eric’s personality and feelings. We’ve all noticed how he was trying so hard not to admit he loved Sookie still this season. After her big rejection. And Eric has NEVER admitted that I know of at least, he cared for her in actual words in public. He’s always avoided words that showed she meant something. He had disguised it with things like she has value alright, and always admitted he wanted her and she fascinated him. But simply wanting and fascinated by aren’t the same as fully admitting in clear words I love her or I care for her. He had always gotten defensive when someone called him out prior to his memory loss. So the only times he’s ever truly admitted it were when it was her ears being the only ears that heard it. And at the beginning of season 5 he was “fuck Sookie” and then told Salome he healed quickly when she could tell he was hurting. Eric went right back into that I won’t admit a thing mode. And though everyone and their mother knows he loves her and cares for her and carries a big torch for her, that doesn’t mean he’ll open up about it all the time.
Also actually that’s not why I watched to see her constantly fall in love. I personally wanted her to have some single time. She did have ENOUGH on her plate and it would seem forced to me to have her fall so in love with another man after she kicked the other two to the curb. Or at least so soon after. If she had then fans would be complaining oh there she goes falling in love again so soon. Or some anti Sookie fans would accuse her of being a slut. You couldn’t be happy either way. I think Sookie just needed a break from men romantically period!
Eric didn’t say in public that he loved her, it’s true. But he showed through his actions and made it pretty clear to some people who can add 2+2. For example let’s take season 4, episode 11 - Eric willing to give up his own life to protect Sookie? No problem. And this happened in front of Pam, Bill, Jessica, Jason and Marnie. And of course threatening Pam which came later. Then in episode 12, in presence of Bill, he had no problem to show Sookie how much he cared for her right before she dumped him. So I don’t agree that Eric doesn’t/didn’t want other people to know that he loves her. Because in fact, Eric doesn’t really care about what people think of him. And as for his behaviour in S5…I would rather say that the only person he wanted to convince of not having any feelings for Sookie, was Eric Northman himself ;p
I wasn’t saying he did it because he cared about what people thought. That’s not what I meant. I agree with what you said. I do think the only person he wanted to convince was himself and his line to Salome wasn’t for her. I wasn’t trying to say he doesn’t want others to know he cares for her. He’s shown it in actions. My statement of everyone and their mother wasn’t just talking audience wise. I don’t think he gets defensive because he cares what others think. Or that he used to get that way. I feel he hadn’t admitted it in public was because he was trying to convince himself as well. He doesn’t do feelings. Or doesn’t want to do feelings. The Eric before season four didn’t know exactly what that was he felt for her but knew it was something, and all his actions for me personally were related to the book quote “I don’t like feelings”. To which he said pretty angrily to Sookie. I also feel the don’t use words I don’t understand line was the show version of this. It’s not about caring what other people think of him. It’s about not liking having feelings. Not wanting to fall for her. Now I don’t think he minds as much and the convincing himself came from being hurt. YET he still hasn’t admitted in words to others he loves her. It may come in later seasons or it may not. But the point wasn’t why he didn’t say the words specifically but a perspective on Alan Ball’s comments. His actions do prove he cares but they weren’t really “admitting” in words except to her. I took his comment to mean nothing more than things all of his fans have pointed out. But that’s just me. Everyone has an opinion but that’s how I read his comment.

You know I hate bringing these here cause of the dramatic flair each one has. But, When I gotta say something I’ve gotta say something.
I am actually in total agreement with this, until the part about Eric being compared to a controlling man. We have to give him a break here, because it’s been like a week since she has been back and most of that time either he had no memory of owning the house or was being held captive at the Authority. So again, I say, I agree with Sookie not being with vampires romantically as a rule (cause wow they cause a lot of trouble for her ((as she does for them)))
But let’s not get all crazy talk when Eric has literally been unable to. He said to Sookie ‘I’ll do it tomorrow’ in the same breath he was asking for her help to save the ‘world’. So obviously it’s not a controlling method, it’s more of a
“Well when I get a free moment from not being controlled by witches or attacked by a psycho false-God. I’ll get right on that.”And really, people can say whatever they want about Eric, hell, some of it I agree with (he does have his faults after all) but he has always tried to protect Sookie. And owning her house was nothing but keeping it for her and from her dumbass brother who would sell their Grandmother’s house after less than a year of Sookie missing… so yeah…..pretty sure it was more generous than you’re making it seem.
ThANK YOU Miss Peach :D. He was too busy this season to give it back to her. The only time he probably remembered he owned it in all this Authority mess was when he was able to enter it without an invitation. Which was two times and the first time he was looking for Russell and didn’t exactly have time to give it back to her. And the second time he had to go try to save the world from Bill and Bill from himself and take down the Authority. So between asking her for help it and worrying about Sookie it slipped his mind again. You know if they didn’t have Pam also and he could’ve stayed longer in Louisiana he would’ve probably thought to give it back on his own. And as was pointed out he promised Sookie he’d do it tomorrow if they survived. And we know they did because if they were not going to then they would’ve been most likely killed off in the finale. Which means first chance Eric gets next season between dealing with Billith and the possible civil war between humans and vampires, he’ll give her the house back. Which will be sometime the day after the Billith for that will be “tomorrow” and Eric is pretty good on his word. He does things when he says them. And thanks for pointing out various other things Peach :D. I’ve always said that one of the main reasons why Eric bought Sookie’s house (He had to have known most vampires could get into her house but he thought Russell was in cement and with Russell buried he was the oldest vampire in LA at least) is so that some stranger wouldn’t buy it and refuse to sell it back or not let her live in it. The way I see it he was saving her house for her. HE was the only one that KNEW she’d be back. Was positive she’d return and here her brother is selling her house off. A house that means a lot to her. Eric knew this. So he bought it under a fake company’s name. And under his ownership she could come in and out of the house as she pleased. You this confession said “No matter how good their intentions” well being controlling isn’t a good intention. SO he’s hardly a controlling man in that regard. Also if he just wanted to control things he wouldn’t have EVER said I’ll make sure to give your house back tomorrow. I agree as a general rule she should stay away from vampires romantically because they bring her trouble and she brings them trouble. Not on purpose. But generally yes it’s a good rule. And in all honesty Sookie has tried to stay away from them for that very reason and this season all the vampires were COMING to HER. As she said she walks away expecting a normal life but no it just can’t happen. And even though she tries to stay away she has a good heart and says okay I’ll do this or that. Because she wants to try and help them out of their messes. And they go to her because they trust her and she goes to them because she trusts them. I feel that the only vampire she can genuinely trust is Eric. He has never truly wanted her simply because she was Fae. He may have seemed like that at first but out of all the vampires he’s the least likely to love her just because she’s a fairy, upon watching a little more. So if she were to end up with a vampire I would want to be Eric out of them all. But I do agree she should probably try to find someone whose not a vampire. I would root for Sam in that department myself.

ASkarsfan4life: maggiesview submitted: Lilith and the screech owl
I found an interesting article about biblical Lilith which states that she was deliberately removed from the bible and the term screech owl replaced her name. It makes for interesting reading for anyone that wishes to pursue the nature of Lilith for clues as…
I loved this whole post. I DO think they did use bits of the legend to create their Lilith. And the similarities are not coincidental. However I agree I don’t think theirs is necessarily the same Lilith but more of a version of her that will cause a war more than share power.
Many fans are asking if Bill will ever come back to his humanity (whatever humanity it was that he really had). He was going to kill Sam here, a very dear dear friend to Sookie. I dont EVER see him returning back to what he was. Not just because of this incident, I am sure there are more irredeemable acts to come. However, Alan Ball is a Buddhist which practice an in-depth amount forgiveness. He is not the show runner any longer however the foundation has already been set. The writers will redeem Bill and nice people like Sam will forgive him for trying to kill him -OR- Bilith is killed in the coming season 6 and of course this would mean the series dies along with Bill/Bilith. What will be the outcome?
That’s what’s scary. It would appear that Bill’s death would equal the death of True Blood too. He is the second major leading character next to Sookie…
I don’t think they’ll Kill Bill. Bill turned into “Billith” I think if they kill off billith they’ll still find a way to keep Bill alive and “back to normal” I think that is the plan. I do think they plan to make him come back from all this as Bill. Alan Ball was asked if Bill could come back from this? And his response was I believe people can come back from anything, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be at a huge cost. I think there are different types of forgiveness. The kind where you learn to forgive, let go and move on instead of being consumed by hate for a person or holding a grudge. And the kind where you forgive them with all your heart and actually keep the person in your lives. I am sure if such a nice man like Sam really did “forgive” Bill then they wouldn’t be best friends with him. I think Bill will find some form of forgiveness and be saved, but as Alan said at a cost. Also I don’t think this was written as a means to end the show. The writers have always said they had plenty of story to still tell and obviously it was always HBO who made the call for a series ending. And most of the time we do not know of renewal news until the middle of a season. And you have to also understand that sometimes on this show the dead doesn’t always stay dead. If by some chance they wrote it that way thinking it COULD be the last season but HBO did renew it for a 7th they could always find a way to bring Bill back. But I don’t think they turned him into that just to kill him off.

hsm7:
Alan dropped a few additional nuggets about True Blood season 6:
- Steve Newlin made it out alive.
- Anna Paquin will be back right away when production begins in January 2013.
- Alcide may still be carrying a torch for Sookie.
- The “parents” Jason saw in the season 5 finale are the result of being thrown across the field and hitting his head: “It shook something loose in his subconscious, which is using his parents as a way to communicate his more violent and vengeful impulses.” Expect to see them in season 6.
- Other characters we know and love “are pursuing a less than generous agenda.”
- We’ll find out what the Elder Faerie meant when she told Sookie, “There’s a reason you give your heart out to every fangster you meet.”
I already have an answer to the last one - how about…BECAUSE SHE CAN’T HEAR THEIR THOUGHTS? And 2 men don’t really count as “every fangster”. I don’t recall Sookie being in love with Pam, Jessica, Russell or Godric
And Alcide…gtfo already. He’s “carrying a torch” for Sookie every damn season. I hope Eric will finally kick his ass
“Other characters we know and love “are pursuing a less than generous agenda.”
Wait, so Alcide broke through Eric’s glamoring him into thinking Sookie’s gross? HAH.
And to be fair, Sookie did kinda fall for Godric. Or at least, she pitied/sympathized with him enough to cry while he met the son.
Sookie unglamoured Alcide (faires can do that)
And ekhm..she didn’t fall for Godric o.O She sympathized with him because he was a decent vampire when she met him, saved her life and wanted peace with humans. That’s why she cried when he died. If he was a human/werewolf/fairy she would react the same way. It had nothing to do with his “vampirism”. This idea of Sookie “falling” for vampires because it’s some kind of magic working, is ridiculous.
So ridiculous! Sookie didn’t have any romantic feelings for Godric what so ever. Compassion, empathy, understanding, even pity are not “romance.” Are people that emotionally stunted that they cannot see a distinction?
And since when is everything a fairy says is taken at face value? The fae have their own agenda, and the Elder lady said a lot of things. Some of it downright hilarious. We don’t have to buy it “wholesale.” Ke$ha is not a poet. Just to clarify for those who did. :))
Sookie did not fall for every “cute boy with fangs.” In fact, she was very reluctant with Bill at first, and it’s his blood that sped up the process. And she resisted Eric for a long while, as well. She may have been attracted to him, but she sure as hell didn’t tumble head over heels like she had no choice in the matter. By the same token, vampires aren’t the only males she found attractive in her life. She also found Sam appealing enough to consider him an option for a while. Ditto Alcide.
Anyway, what the Fae Elder implied was that there’s a certain amount of pre-destined possibilities in Sookie’s future, and that, depending on which path she takes, it may or may not lead her to end up with a vampire. It’s your usual vague nonsense, but I doubt Sookie’s preordained end is to be Warlow’s slave. I am sure she can combat that, if she holds on to her light, whatever that means.
Sookie is not a slave. Not to her history, her origins, or her preferences. Yes, she has a “type.” And it has to do more with their “quiet” minds than fangs. And yes, she was manipulated once. But it doesn’t have to be an inevitability. If Sookie ends up choosing to spend her life with a vampire (and I hope she chooses Eric), it’s absolutely a choice.
What she said.
Yes, well put:)
Personally I took Alan’s comments to mean we’ll find out why that is, as to mean we’ll find out why The Fae Elder thinks it is. Not the actual reason. But more of a statement of we’ll discover where her words were actually coming from. And as far as less than generous agenda by those we might know and love. I am betting on the fairies. They got fans already and something seems to be up with them. And well not everyone likes Nora but she has a few fans so people have theories she won’t be very loyal next season to Eric and that something is up with her knowing Warlow. So for some people she could be a “someone we know and love” character. Also Alcide will always have a thing for Sookie. That’s straight from the books. Until book 12 when she said Bill and him were not in the running anymore. That she only saw him as a friend. And I know they change many things from the source materials but I see a pattern of not changing the love interests or those who are attracted to her. So for me the Alcide thing doesn’t bother me because I just see it as something they kept from the books. I mean Sam Trammell also said that Sam still holds a torch for Sookie in an interview. And that’s pretty canon towards the books too. But yes that was very well put above about Sookie and vampires.
