He doesn't even have the hero thing going for him anymore. WTF?
Bill is anal. He has to control his women. He could ask "Do you have a red balloon?" and it would sound like an accusation. He lectures like he's Sookie's dad and Jessica's dad and it doesn't help that Jason calls him Mr Compton. Even when he tells Eric to stay away from Sookie, it sounds like it's coming from Mr Compton, Sookie's father, not Bill, the anygry boyfriend. It's just that adding Jessica to the mix made it more obvious. I think what they need to do with him next season is give him a sense of humor so he doesn't come off so rigid. Eric gets funny sarcastic lines. Jason gets funny stupid lines. Andy gets funny bombastic lines. I have no idea how to make Bill seem like less of a scold but they need to do something. Even Sam, the boss, isn't so rigid.

So who do you think will be the hero (male or female) of the finale? Who will save them from Maryann? Is it going to be Jason and Andy? Sam? Eric? Sookie? Tara? Lafayette? Tara's mother? Some character we haven't seen yet that will set the stage for Season 3? Hurricane Katrina (only kidding - could see Maryann's meat statue floating away and everyone on the roof of Sookie's house )?

Marianne could be pretty funny if she had not taken over the whole story line...

It's sort of like when Ali McGraw was on Dynasty with those annoying earrings. She was killed off in the chapel massacre - one critic wrote:
"Ali can't act, must die".

If a hurricane floods that far up into Lousiana then we in Vampire Lounge-y Dallas are in trouble!

Spoiler Alert:


If they stay even half-way true to the books, Bill will not be the center of Sookie's life any longer. But they have taken so many liberties with the books, you know what's going to happen. I think the media hype about Anna Pacquin being engaged to whoever-Bill-is-in-real-life may dictate more Bill in the future.

I am guessing Eric. Like I said, it will set him up perfectly to absolutely rule season 3!

I re-watched Season 3 over the weekend and noticed a few interesting things that may tie into the finale.

Lafayette reads Tara's tarot cards, says she will have to make a choice and the end result will be justice.

This got me thinking that maybe since Tara summoned Maryann in the first place, she will be forced to do the killing herself and/or make a choice of who will be sacrificed - like between Sam, Sookie and Eggs? Since I have a feeling we won't be seeing Eggs around - my choice is Eggs and another relationship down the crapper for Tara!

This is just my take on what might happen to pass the time until next Sunday - any thoughts?

Well, since the storyline with Maryann has gone way beyond anything in the books, I'm thinking Eric will play a major roll in her death, which will set up perfectly for Season 3/Book 3.

A kinder, gentler, Eric is on the way.

I like the idea of the conflict between Bill and Eric over Sookie's affection. I don't think they should mess with that. Conflict is good.

I'm thinking Eric (or Sam) might be the hero but I wouldn't rule out someone coming in from out of nowhere to save the day and to insert himself/herself into the series for the third season. Maybe the devil comes to take Maryann home. Also, how about Tara's mother (Adina Porter) coming in to save the day? I see she's never listed up front with the rest of the cast and I don't know why not unless they're going to kill her off. I don't think of her as a minor character. Maybe she'll sacrifice herself to save others. I'm ruling out everyone with black eyes, from the last episode, as the hero.

I have yet another question. Can shifters shift into other humans or beings or is it only lower life forms?
