I've been watching - and the last couple episodes have been great. With one major exception, at least for me.
Sookie has got to stop being such a whiney, helpless, annoying chick. Yes, I'm used to the book version, who kicks some serious ass over the series (she killed Lorena on her own in the books, albeit with a lot of luck, and that was just her first of several supes that die at her hands), but the ever annoying Tara should not have been the one getting them out of that situation.
I'm kinda wondering where they are going with that too - Sookie can get away with killing Lorena, due to both her 'special' nature, and her connections, but Tara? No way the vamps would let her live after killing Franklin.
So how long before Eric manages to kill Russell? He's a character that's a whole lot more interesting in the show than he ever was in the books...
