True Blood

Promo pic for the next season of True Blood: Jessica semi-straddling a large snake while gazing lecherously at Sookie. Okay, a purist might say that she's almost certainly staring at Bill, not Sookie, but feh, I say.


Speaking from the part of my brain that isn't drooling and panting after Sookie/Jessica porn fic, judging from the photo I'd say there's an 85% chance that Jessica will try to make the moves on Bill this season. Whoever designed this photo really went all out. Aside from the snake (I mean, really?), the whole lady in red/woman in white theme is just screaming out of the screen.

Clearly I need to read this book. Someone actually does it the right other way around. Suka decorations? Really?

Well the books are both a LOT more full of crack and a lot more romance novel-y (they're also way worse on Issues, if I'm not mistaken Tara's family isn't black and Lafayette shows up for about 3 paragraphs and gets killed off in book 1). I'm told Sookie is a lot less annoying in them than in the show, but in return everyone else is extra... romance novel characters. For one thing there's no Godric. Eric's backstory is that he was turned by a vampire who'd previously been a Roman citizen who wanted Eric as his personal plaything and, it is strongly implied, basically raped him continuously for a good long while while they were together.

On the other hand in book 1 you have a pretty major character named Bubba who follows Sookie around as her bodyguard who turns out to be a Zombified version of Elvis.
