I heard so much about it that I went and bought the DVDs without really knowing why I wanted to see it so badly. *spoilers past this point* I'm not the biggest fan of Vampire Bill, either, but I've heard spoilers that somewhere down the line in the novels he's not as major a player as he is now. He and Sookie break up from what I've heard, so that means that we get freed of his monotone delivery hopefully in the series, too. ;) That’s kind of how I started, too.

I quite liked the first season. After the second season, I kind of lost interest. I do really like parts of the show, and some of the characters are great, but I can't help but think it would be better if Sookie and Bill were killed off. I realise that killing off your main characters isn't generally the way to move a story forward, but I find them quite insipid. .-= Jasyla´s last blog ..<a href="http://cannotbetamed.blogspot.com/2010/05/definite-vs-defiant.html">Definite vs. Defiant</a> =-.

I can justify saying that because there was a very complex narrative woven that season and the sex never took from that. I can't say it enhanced it, either, except maybe in the case of Jason.

But it enhances the show and makes some characters--Jason, in particular--more developed because of it.
