Godric is an amazing character and when he showed up, he didn't disappoint after all the waiting, which for TV is REALLY hard to do. <br /><br />I didn't hate Maryann as much as you did. I liked the interesting inclusion of Maenads into the "True Blood" mythology, and I REALLY love the actress (Michelle Forbes, amazing). However, my main complaint with the storyline is how long it dragged on for. A lot of shock value and no substance. I am happy it is over as well. <br /><br />Can't wait for season 3. Alan Ball apparently plans on starting production before Christmas, so it's not too far away. In the meantime, there's also Lost and Fringe, right? Haha. I pretty much agree with everything you said.

It's the single most addictive show I've watched since I started LOST. The serialization is spectacular, and it always leaves me wanting more. <br /><br />Even being low on cash, I splurged on the first season DVDs, and I don't regret it. It's well worth the $40 it costs (or whatever the conversion is for you crazy people whose money is actually worth something, hehe). Definitely.

I take it you'd recommend buying it? I'm kinda in the mood for some vampires :) I stopped reading because I want to get season 1 on DVD when it comes out here in the UK in October.

Season one was close enough to book 1 to be considered related. Season 2 way off the mark. There are random elements or scenes that seem to be reproduced, and I am sad to say that Godric has only a small part in the book. So as a fan of season 1, and a fan of the books. I need to consider season 2 as a seperate entity of the books, as I will be forever comparing it and getting disapointed. I am very much looking forward to watching season 2 though.
