Where did you get the idea that Lafayette had been missing for 2 weeks? I think you're confusing him with someone else?

Also, if the show is going to follow the book in S2, then I'm pretty sure that dead body was Lafayette.

^yeah pretty much dead. as the show is still going with the books

11/25/2008 7:47:50 PM

because after Lafayette got scared our by the dumpster and then bill shows up at sookies and tells her that he fed, then they start making out it cuts to the next scene and says "two weeks later," and Sookies face is a lot more healed from the beating and they are all at Merlots working, and Sam tells Tara that if her cousin doesn't show up soon hes gonna get replaced...

and again please keep possible spoilers learned from reading the books out of this thread

11/25/2008 7:52:42 PM

^oh yea, i remember that now

well then yea, regardless of how the book turns out, that dead leg is definitely Lafayette. he goes missing for two weeks and a dead black leg with painted toes shows up in the backseat of the sheriff's car. duh.

11/25/2008 8:28:06 PM

are you people really still dropping spoilers in here?

thanks, i dont like wondering what's going to happen


once was one thing but damn.

11/25/2008 9:19:36 PM

^^seriously, what the fuck?? really?? there is whole fucking thread to post spoilers, i mean, how can you not think that would piss people off??

maybe we should all just stop watching the show and instead have you give us cliffsnotes of the books

11/25/2008 10:16:11 PM

bitch is dumb

11/25/2008 10:18:34 PM

oh come on, it's an obvious thing.

1. Lafayette gets scared to shit and jumps on the dumpster.
2. then it's two weeks later, and Lafayette has been missing the whole time.
3. dead black leg with painted toes is sticking out of the sheriff's car, after Tara just made reference to Lafayette being missing AND not two episodes after we watched Lafayette painting his toes.

4. it's obvious.

i'm sorry if you feel that's a spoiler i guess ignorant people shouldn't watch tv!

I agree that all of that is obvious, and isn't a spoiler. what makes it a spoiler is this bit:

That's bringing up stuff from the books. Granted, it leads you to the same conclusion, so it isn't that big of a deal in this context, but it could cause problems otherwise

I guess the point is if we wanna get all Lost on this with theories and stuff, don't bring in any info that wasn't directly in the show

11/26/2008 12:16:45 AM

clearly its the obvious assumption that it would be lafayette in the car, you would have to be damn-near braindead to not jump to that conclusion, again, that isn't the point


informing everyone who doesnt read the books that it happens in the books is the issue, and it's a stupid thing to do


the fact that you want to call anyone else ignorant is mindblowing


keep the book shit in the book shit thread, its not fucking hard.

11/26/2008 12:32:19 AM

keep the book shit in the book shit thread, its not fucking hard.

11/26/2008 1:20:20 AM

So yeah even though the signs point to Lafayette they could have just been doing that to throw us off. Posting a spoiler wasn't necessary.

I was under the impression that sometimes writers of good television shows make it seem as if one thing was obvious so the viewer is even more surprised when it is not the obvious, but I guess people that think like that are the ignorant ones...

11/26/2008 10:14:16 AM

legatic is correct

11/26/2008 12:41:29 PM

thumper was in the wrong

11/26/2008 12:44:14 PM

It doesn't really matter if it was Lafayette...The real question is how the body got there. I'd think that if Bill fed on him he would have disposed of the body afterwards. He's not going to hang onto it for a couple of weeks and then stick it in the sheriff's car as evidence against the vampires. Bill is trying to be mainstream. That's just going to hurt the vampire image.

I don't think it is a given that Bill fed on Lafayette. Even if he did feed on Lafayette, there is still the question of who put the body in the cop car. Bill would not do anything like that knowing it would just upset Sookie. Someone else is responsible for that which means that if Bill did kill Lafayette there was a witness or someone found the body. Putting it in the cop's car was sending a message. The question is who did it and what is the message.

11/26/2008 5:24:30 PM

I'm guessing it was the redhead that Bill is now responsible for, though I'm not sure where she would have kept the body for 2 weeks (or kept him alive while torturing him and feeding on him) since she was supposedly staying with Bill.

11/26/2008 6:12:13 PM

It means you're retarded because you actually didn't think it was a spoiler when you posted. You would be a bitch if you didn't care.

11/27/2008 5:15:24 PM

I've just got into the show, watching HBO On Demand while I'm at home.

I can't stop staring at Anna Paquin's b00bs.

I love how there are so many horn dog thoughts about her

Of course I knew it was a spoiler when I posted it. I had just read it in the spoilers thread, and I came right over and posted it in this thread, because everyone was back and forth about who it really was. So that makes me a bitch, not retarded.

Also, just saw this on CNN. http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/TV/11/18/tv.hbo.true.blood.ap/index.html

Quote :

"Vampires, sex make 'Blood' a hit NEW YORK (AP) -- Catching the wave of a public fascination with vampires, HBO's "True Blood" has steadily increased in stature to become the cable network's most popular series since "The Sopranos" and "Sex and the City." Based on the series of Sookie Stackhouse novels written by Charlaine Harris and starring Anna Paquin in the lead character's role, "True Blood" has grown its Sunday night viewership by 66 percent since its debut in September. The first season finale airs this Sunday, with a second season already in production. "True Blood" casually imagines a world where vampires, telepathic women and "shape shifters" -- people who can assume the shapes of animals -- are a part of everyday life in a small Louisiana town. A steamy romance between Paquin's waitress and Bill the brooding vampire, portrayed by Stephen Moyer, stands at the show's center. The HBO series also benefits from proximity to this week's much-anticipated release of the "Twilight" movie, another spooky drama about a girl and the vampire who loves her. Another parallel: "Twilight" is also based on a literary series. (HBO, like CNN, is a unit of Time Warner.) Alan Ball, who produced HBO's "Six Feet Under," came to the network with the idea of adapting Harris' novels into escapist entertainment. "After 'Six Feet Under,' where as an artist and a person I got to explore my whole relationship with grief for about five years, I just felt, OK, I don't really need to spend any more time staring into the abyss," Ball said. Ball's pitch was basically all it took to sell HBO's executives on the idea, said Michael Lombardo, HBO's chief of West Coast operations. Ball kept the foreboding darkness expected in vampire stories, spiced up the sex and violence, mixed in humor and explored the theme of outsiders in society, he said. The novels are centered on Stackhouse, so Ball said he had to develop some of the characters around her to avoid overworking Paquin. Harris is unlikely to mind any artistic licenses; all seven of her Stackhouse novels currently rank in the top 30 of The New York Times paperback fiction bestsellers list. The fictional genre of women and their supernatural beaus was something new to Ball. Surfing some chat rooms, he's noticed that many women are connecting to the story of Sookie and Bill. The series averages 6.8 million viewers each week. As is typical for HBO, the viewership is scattered around in-demand viewing and reruns aired at different times during the week. But Lombardo said he's noticed that more people are tuning in for the Sunday episode premieres, a sign of anticipation among fans. HBO usually spends a big promotion budget to get people to watch the first episode of a new series, and hope enough viewers are satisfied to come back is subsequent weeks. The "True Blood" promotion included some approaches unusual for the network, including setting up fake Web sites and advertising a fake drink called "Tru Blood." But the series started relatively quietly and has built its audience week-to-week, Lombardo said. Even notable successes like "The Sopranos" grew more slowly, with a big jump coming at the start of the second season, he said. "We haven't gone out and made a lot of noise about it because every week the numbers would come in and we'd say, 'Wow, is this true? Will this sustain?' " Lombardo said. The timing couldn't be better for HBO, a subscriber-based network that lost some of its hipness factor when it failed to develop shows that could match the critical and commercial highs of "The Sopranos" and "Sex and the City." The failure of series like "John from Cincinnati" and "Lucky Louie" left HBO suffering on Sundays, generally its showcase nights for original material. "You start worrying," Lombardo admitted. "You see other networks putting on important programs on Sunday nights and you worry, 'Can you bring them back?' What has been fantastic is to see the subscribers have been waiting for a Sunday night show they can make appointment viewing again." The series will return for its second season next summer, and HBO is looking to build anticipation by releasing a DVD of the first season before that -- unusually early for the network. Ball said that by the fourth season of "Six Feet Under," he and his team were having trouble coming up with new stories. But he's optimistic about the future of "True Blood." The first season essentially followed Harris' first novel, and there are seven in the series with an eighth on the way. Ball said he's been impressed with how the stories keep surprising him, and how fresh the world created by Harris seems. "If I wasn't making this show," he said, "I'd be watching it." "

This means that you didn't think it was a spoiler. But if you're really that adamant about being called a bitch, then I think we can work something out for you:

Because you didn't think that was a spoiler, that makes you a dumb bitch.

11/28/2008 10:46:40 AM

Now that S1 is over, I suggest we spend the next 7 months debating just how much of a dumb bitch I am. We could also discuss the potential that I might actually be somewhat retarded, and we could even extend the retarded discussion to include my family if you want. Of course, this debate wouldn't be complete without insulting both my physical appearance and stature in life. Let's get on it people, we've got a long way to go.

why don't you stop perpetuating this nonsense in the thread?

you posted a spoiler and got called out for it, suck it up and move on

you don't need to defend every insult thrown at you, not only do you look dumber for doing it, you are clouding up a serious thread.

discussion over this should cease, just dont post anymore dumb shit please.

I have this problem with having the last word. So when you insult me, I have to come back with something, I can't just ignore it. Sorry if it means I keep dwelling on the obvious or whatever - it's just one of my many character flaws!

By the way, it's totally cool if you wanna tell me my family is retarded.

11/28/2008 1:03:10 PM

I doubt they're are retarded...but possibly related, considering how you turned out.

And it kind of goes against your theory of "having the last word" when your "last word" makes you sound even more stupid.

11/28/2008 5:31:53 PM

Please, for our sake, take it to PM.

More posts about boobies.

11/28/2008 9:30:34 PM

I think Lafayette got jumped by the crazy pig because if I were getting chased by a vampire I wouldn't hop up on a dumpster to get away from it. The foot in Andy's car was very narrow and I want it to be Lettie Mae's. Lafayette's way too awesome (AIDS BURGER) to kill. Bill said he couldn't fly anyway so why would he swoop in to Sookie's house unless he's taken to jumping everywhere?

11/29/2008 11:26:37 AM

Several people have suggested that the new vampire girl at Bill's house killed Lafayette (or whoever is in the car). I'd just like to point out that she didn't get dropped off in town until two weeks after Lafayette disappeared. So either Lafayette isn't the body, or he was killed by someone other than the new vampire.

11/29/2008 12:39:41 PM

not that i think bill did it (i hope he didn't), but

if it were bill, he would be extremely weak. he couldn't even walk when he was being weakened by the sun, and since he has yet to feed, he'd probably be crawling.

but i still don't think bill did it.

There's no evidence that the person found in the Detective's car is a dead person. They could very easily be alive.

1/12/2009 9:11:14 AM

There are 12 episodes. I'm considering rewatching them once I've finished reading the first book. I wonder how long they'll be available On Demand?

1/12/2009 10:59:55 AM

I watched the first season over the course of the weekend.

It's an enjoyable enough show, but pretty much all of the subplots (Sam and Tara, Tara and her mom, etc.) are horribly uninteresting.

1/12/2009 11:10:58 AM

I just checked HBO's website and didn't see True Blood listed there at all. Kinda bummed. Is it On Demand right now, and it's just not on the website? Or did I miss it?

1/12/2009 12:27:56 PM

Maybe it was cancelled!

Or maybe it's the first show listed under "Original Series" on the left hand column, which is right next to a huge picture of Anna Paquin holding her Golden Globe.
