I agree that Jason is just dumber than a rock. As we say here in the south, "Bless his heart" (translate: He is so fucked up!)

I just plow through each book and I am glad that the show is following pretty closely to the plot of the books. The creative licensing I see is done well enough to keep me watching and engaged, waiting to see what happens next.

Erik is smokin - there is something about his comfort in his power that just draws one in. Pam is smokin in the portrayal of a strong woman who submits because she is inspired to - something I can relate to. Sookie grates my last nerve sometimes because even as much as you want to hug her, I just wanna shake her and tell her that it aint all about her all the time!

I am a tad disappointed in the show's portrayal of Sophie. She wasn't quite the obnoxious bitch in the books.

I still see interesting parallels in the vamps and othering and the LGBTIQ worlds. Russell's words to Erik in the limo about (paraphrasing here) "If we vamps would stop infighting we could conquer the humans in a day" could easily read, to me, "If we queers stopped infighting, we might be surprised at how we could change the inequities we face."
