I really respect this show - I'm not such a big board reader or writer, but I find myself so enthralled with this program, I couldn't help but take part in the feedback!
My husband works in production, and I'm a dancer... I spend a lot of time around art - especially performing art. And this show is worth it to me. I have so much respect for everyone who takes part and it really shows - both in season one and in season two. I think different is good - I read the books, and I like how things have changed and grown. I think it was a really strong, smart choice to keep Lafayette alive. He's just too good to get rid of. I find myself looking forward to sunday evenings, even though it means a return to work the next day. So, a million thanks for that.
What I am dying to tell you is... Evan Rachael Wood is almost unwatchable. It's so sad and embarrassing. I'm sure this is something people have talked about on the forum, but it's hard for me to sort through all the different strains, so I'm hoping this gets seen here. I can't imagine what on earth happened, but let me tell you, it is a disaster. She is so effected, so unbelievably disconnected. And it makes it worse that the people she is sharing her scenes with are so sharp onscreen. It just highlights how awful Ms. Wood is.
I can't stand it. Please don't bring her back. I would do anything to not have to watch this painful performance anymore... I have enjoyed her work in the past and I'm sorry to say this - but I was almost in tears with repulsion watching the episodes she performed in. Do her a favor, it will ruin her career and your show if she continues. Please, please please. It doesn't match. And it's a smear on a lovely and very well thought out piece of art.

NO! 1st season was great, 2nd season became repetitive, almost boring and very silly. The writers need to pay more attention to the character's and their personalities. A little more true to the books. Bill has become a wimp and Eric to demonic. Where is Pam's sense of humor, or for that matter Eric's. If this keeps up I am done. I will try out one more season.

I loved Season 1. I thought Season 2 would be the same and all we got was MaryAnn. Michelle Forbes is a great actress but a whole season of mostly her was too much. My favorite episode was when Godric met the sun. Why couldn't we have more of Godric? I hope Season 3 isn't more of one character like last season.

a side note: The diversity of the characters feaured in the Sookie Stackhouse books are a big part of the story's charm! I personally fell in love with Sookie's sense of adventure and the characters' somewhat dark sense of humor in this series, and I hope the show will recapture some of that in seasons to come. There is no need to "reinvent" anything here!

Season one was great; most of the characters were portrayed brilliantly and although the show was different from the book, all the crucial details of the story were there along with some complementary material. But I feel like season two started off on the wrong foot! Some of the changes made affected the integrity of the story. (possible spoiler) Bill's marriage proposal to Sookie was completely out of character, and so was her response. It's hard to imagine how the story will progress from here. It seems that some awesome characters may be left out, which I'm hoping is not the case but I can't see how some crucial details are going to be worked into the show. It seems like the show will be moving in a completely different direction, in which case I personally will stop watching along with a slew of other people who feel the same way. I strongly recommend everyone reads the books!

There is a couple of people here in particular that keep saying that, but there has been no confirmation.
The people (they shall remain nameless because, well, they like to run around and state their opinion as fact) that say that just really like Fairuza Balk. One of them even put out that info on a facebook page.
I really like Sara Brown from General Hospital for Debbie Pelt. She has the right look and she plays an awesome b*tch.

I heard (several places) Fairuza Balk has been cast as Debbie.

We know nothing except that Franklin Mott (the vampire Tara dated) has been cast.
Supposedly they are looking for someone to cast as Debbie Pelt.
No mention of Alcide yet.

I've been checking around town and haven't found anyone who even knows what it is. Even our biggest beverage distributor had no idea what it was.

I think there is still time for the writers to redeem Sophie Ann.
We haven't seen alot of her yet so her character isn't cast in stone. I know ERW has copped a lot of flack for her portrayal but I think she did improve in the finale. When she first appeared in Ep 11 it was a rude shock - I wasn't surprised to see her different from the books but I WAS surprised that she just reeled off her dialogue and it looked like the director had gone on a tea break while she did those scenes.
If you're going to make her "insane" - then let's see it. Make her freaking batshit crazy.
I think we saw a hint of that in the finale.
