Speaking of height....I always thought they must have had Allan Hyde standing on a box during most of his shots!
I don't know his true height, but when he was holding up Gabe...I thought..oh yeah..show us the box he is standing on...

You know, that's a real good point and one I've thought of several times but I was kind of afraid to admit, I think.
Her whole 'relationship' with Quinn kind of proved how selfish she can be.

They're constantly playing with camera angles. This happens on all shows and in all movies.
For instance, when Bill and Eric are sitting in the bar in the Vampire Hotel in Dallas Eric is slumping so that he and Bill are head to head for the two shot.
It probably made the conversation a lot easier to shoot. I don't think it was suppose to imply anything.
The scenes outside of the Queen's palace were probably shot the way they were shot to emphasize the size of the palace entrance(or more like distract from it because in reality it's quite small for a palace) and not necessarily to show how tall or short either of the characters were in the scene. Again, that's just my theory based on the handfull of film production classes I've taken.

I concur I think peple saying that the queen wants Bill dead need to go watch the scene again or they are just looking for an argument with no real point to it. Here is the clip

I was thinking it was more of a "David and Goliath" thing, actually. With Eric being the taller and physically stronger one...but never underestimate Bill Compton.
Moyer's around 5'10" (sadly I haven't met him, but I know people who have). About the same as Trammell, and while I thought Kwanten was a little taller, they looked about the same height during the man-hug-of-destiny scene.

rclaurel-I don't see where any one is saying the queen wanted or the queen EVER said she wanted Eric to get RID of Bill. The queen nor Eric never mentioned "getting RID" of Bill. So why do you continue to make this statement as if it were an actual plot to *kill Bill* or *do away* with Bill.
What you fail to understand here is "taking care of" can imply NUMEROUS things most of them nothing associated with getting rid or killing anyone.

Hi trublud
This is from the original pilot that AB scraped and changed Tara. He cut out Claudine after he realized there was no context for her in the pilot. I'm not sure he will bring her back.

Sanomara happy to hear you got your Germanic hunk.
Malorn what's a piece of paper anyway. Look how it worked out you are doing better than millions with paper.
Aposmel second times a charm
As for me I was single 16 years until I met my guy. I call the 1st one H1N1 (husband one noaccount one) He was like a virus every woman caught him.

Again if the Queen sent Bill to get Sookie, Why would she want Eric to get rid of Bill....She would do it herself, Bill I think works for some other Authority....maybe in the books he worked for her, but not on the show..
