Isn’t that what happened with Claudia in Interview With the Vampire?
That’s the only cool thing I can think of about becoming a vampire. If you could time your transformation for that one day a month when your hair looks just right – that’d be awesome.
Eric works for me. He’s hot.
Can someone spoil for me how one becomes a vampire in this show’s universe? I saw (human) Bill forced to drink that vampire’s blood, but Sookie also did that.
Apparently, a vampire had to drink most of the victim’s blood, the victim has to agree or ask to become a vampire and then the victim has to drink the vampire’s blood.
EofA and AuntiePam I guess I just pictured in my mind that Eric would not only be tall but thick and muscular by Sookie’s so often reference of his big hands in the book. I think I personally took that image b/c my husband’s hands are so big and thick that his ring won’t even stay on my thumb. I agree he’s hot, just not what I mentally pictured.
It would be just my luck that the day I transformed to a vamp that I’d have a quarter sized bright red zit on my forehead and a bundle of nose hairs drooping down to my upper lip.
If you have any interest in the show’s music (I’m a huge fan of it), this is a great site that details all tracks/scenes in which they were played. I have a great playlist going of all my favorites.
I’ve already filed the paperwork.
But even I was a little put off by the graveyard sex. Well, not put off so much as pulled right out of the scene when I immediately thought of the old joke “How do you make a hormone?” (Put sand in the vaseline)
I guess we’re just suppose to pretend that he wasn’t covered in worms and maggots and…ugh. Though I did like how instead of the neck he bit her on the boobie.
I loved that line.
OK, that’s gonna drive me crazy, because I don’t remember. What was his reason?
Sorry people, I disagree, Alexander Skarsgard is beautiful- just not in that wig. He’s Brad “Iceman” Colbert in *Generation Kill *, and damn fine too.
And Rutina Wesley is one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen.
I’ve just had a thought…
I’ll be in my bunk.
Somthing to the effect of: “I don’t like typing on the number keys.”
It’s probably been used lots of places, but I’m pretty sure that footage was used at the end of the video for Nine Inch Nail’s “Hurt”. Or maybe somewhere in “Closer.”
The slightly defensive way he said it struck me as funny. You’d expect old vampires to struggle with technology, and Eric is much older than Bill.
Is anybody else who’s read the books hoping that the show omits a certain deceased celebrity as a vampire? I thought that was one of the most silly, annoying subplots of the books.
I had never read the books, nor even heard of them before the show. I picked up the first one and, due to time constraints, I seem to be reading it at about the same pace as the show. I got just far enough ahead this morning to read that character’s entrance. It really depends on how they handle this, but I could also do without the celebrity vampire.
I doubt they will b/c of the licensing (or whatever laws govern that type of thing) issues it would bring up. I’ve read through book five and I believe said character has been in everyone of them. I suspect Charlaine was a fan and that’s why said character appears??
**irishgirl **no one has said that Skarsgard isn’t a hottie (if you like tall thin blondes)just discussing whether or not he fits the description of Eric in the book.
Is the dead celebrity Elvis? That’d fit, and I’d love to see it, if only for a few seconds. If he had a long scene – not so much.
I wouldn’t mind if Bubba showed up if they kept it minor as in teh books. I remember the books as being a lot funnier than the show
Eric hasn’t done much so far. Probably once he gets to do stuff instead of just trying to look ominous I’ll like him better.
Yeah, a kind of retarded Elvis. It seems that when he died, a vampire fan tried to turn him and did a bad job of it, so he’s not quite right. And they call him Bubba.
It was a big fan of The King that worked in the morgue. He’d been dead too long to be properly turned, but the fan tried it anyway and that’s way we are left w/Bubba. Bubba prefers cats to humans.
So am I gullible for believing this Elvis thing or did it really happen?
