True Blood

If the series is following the book series, we will find out that Sam is in fact a shapechanger.

Shapechangers do not have to be Were-Creatures in this storyline. But there are were-tigers and such in this Universe. Sam can change into any animal he sees. Notice all the stuffed animals in the bar. His prefered form is that of a collie. And shapechangers in this Universe all are drawn to change when the moon is full. Sam is one of my favorite characters in this series I can't wait to see if the show him changing that could be an awesome shot. Would love to see him change into a gorilla or such and beat the shite out of a Vamp right in front of everyone.

There will be mentions of Faeries soon also and witches. I won't spoil anymore of it tho.

As for the Vampires sireing sp? other Vamps. I assume that it is like most Vamp stories and the person must be brought to the egde of death by the Vamp that bites them and then offered the blood of the sire. If they do not drink of the blood like Bill's sire told him they will die from blood loss. Just drinking the blood or taking V will not change the person into a Vamp.

I want to hear more on the back story of Eric also.

I never really read into vampire mythology but I always thought vampires could always chose to change a person or just feed on them and didn't have to bring them to the brink of death.

Kinda all depends on the writer I guess. Different writers use different mythologies. In the old Dracula movies with Bela Lugosi he only had to bite the victims.

Another great episode last night. i won't discuss it yet for those of you that have it recorded to watch later.

I found this on You Tube, a bunch or in character news type interviews of the cast of True Blood thought you people might like to take a look. I enjoyed it alot.

Guess some questions about Sam are perfectly clear now.

Sure hope HBO picks this up for another season.

Sam scared the crap outta Sookie didn't he. Can't wait to see if what happens to Jason in the books happens to him in the series. Let's just say that will be really cool. But don't think it will happen in seaon 1 anyway.

I hope HBO keeps it too. I did read FX picked up True Blood, but don't know when they will start showing it. Not sure if this if for good or just the syndication. Let's hope HBO keeps this going.

A little info, the show is differeing is some aspects from the books. For instance in the books Bill didn't stake Longshadow, Eric was the one who killed him and he didn't go on trial like Bill is going to do next week . Eric just paid Longshadow's sire a fine. Also in the books, Sam wasn't adopted like in the series. They also have introducesd a few character new to the story in the Series. As well as taken a couple out. In the books Sam wasn't Sookie's protector when Bill has to leave , it was a character named Bubba but we haven't seen Bubba yet in the series.

My GF and I are hooked on this show, and since neither of us have HBO we watch online at some live stream sites. Pretty cool actually.
