Not to offend, but how, when talking about all of the goodies in this ep, you could leave out Lafayette’s menage `a redneck humiliation and smack-down combo?
This show is addictive
I’m not a huge fan of Fangtasia either, but that whole sequence is in the book. Right down to Sookie’s “Look at me, I’m a virgin” outfit. Actually, the way the place is described in the book, I pictured something a little… nicer. More like a nightclub than a roadhouse.
And, yes, Sookie is inconsistent in her behavior. It’s one of the things that bothered me about the source material. That and all the crying she does in the book. Yeesh. At least they’ve toned that down for the series.
@ Micahel:
I know. I totally left out the “hold the AIDS” moment. I kind of feel like that’s something best enjoyed when you watch the episode. Anything I say about it wouldn’t be nearly as good as just watching it.
I freaking LOVE Lafayette. Also, I love that he plays up the queen aspect, but he’s still a big, muscular man who will kick someone’s ass when necessary. LOVE him.
@ Robin
I just started reading “Dead Until Dark”, and I agree that Sookie’s characterization is better on the show than in the book – though she hasn’t done much crying yet in the book…
Escape from Dragon House is the title of the Cambodian song playing in Bill’s car, which Sookie doesn’t like and turns off.
I’m not feeling it, I think Bill’s taste in music is great. Tuvan throat singing! Rock on!
