During the series I have re-read all nine Charlene Harris books. I can tell you that the first book ends with the resolution of the killer's identity and the second book opens up with the discovery of Lafayette's body in Detective Bellefleur's patrol car. So they are going to start up the second season on the second book. I am so absolutely in love with this series!!!!! Yet it is taking liberties with the book, changing things around and adding things probably for the sake of television. But it is staying close enough to follow.

I haven't seen this yet (no HBO), but hope to see it on DVD at some point.
It seems that many series based on books take some liberties. They use the books as a starting point, and then modify as needed. The Blood Ties series was like that.

Just a note to hardcore True Blood fans..... I just found out that the 'behind the scenes,' the 'making of,' and the 14 different three minute interviews with various cast members will only be available until December 21st. This is the stuff mentioned at the beginning of the season and in the first couple episodes. Online at the HBO website.
Gee Labradorian, sorry about spoiling your day. But, um, on whom else in Bon Temps would you find long, shapley, well manicured, fire engine red polished toes on an African American male? When they showed the painted toenails that was a total giveaway...... But okay, if I ever talk about the show again here I will play the spoilers alert card.

I agree that the second season has been loads of fun- though it's already taking a break? I think and hope it's just for one week.
I know you hadn't read the novels during the first season, Labradorian. Have you since then?
I won't spoil anything, but I will say that the TV series and novels are now so different that one could discuss the events in one without necessarily spoiling the other.
Still a risk of spoilerage, I suppose, since you never know when elements from the books will be adapted whole cloth for the series.

They're like parallel universes, really.
No i havent read the books, and yes i would agree that the tv series and novels are different which is understandable. Spoiler Spoiler' Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler
Seeing Lafayette locked up in the dungeon was a sigh of relief for me, i like his character and to throw that away after the first season would have been a waste. I loved the dungeon scenes, eric ripping apart one of the captives which was a crazy scene. I wonder what the story with Daphne is, and what the hell was that thing that attacked sookie and apparantly at some point Daphne. I think the creature was Ensign Ro, cant remember her name at the moment

They let him live????????? Yay! I was really disappointed when he was killed in the books, and I was hoping they'd make a change for the show. Hopefully they won't cut out the "gay" Eric in lycra scene, though. Eric's so much fun in the books.
I haven't seen any of the tv series yet. Is it out on dvd? I just ordered the newest book from the SFBC.

If any True Blood fans are over on Twitter, they have a fansite where a group of very talented people, writers, are roleplaying a constant soap opera as characters from True Blood. Check out the goings-on of the whole gang, it's very well done. Yours truly plays one of the regular cast, and life is always exciting in Bon Temps. Our biggest honor so far, aside from hundreds of thousands of Twitter followers, is that HBO thinks we are doing such a good job that they recommend us on their website for the show!
