I'm aware some people here haven't read the book or finished them. So I'm starting off on the series anticipating that is what led some here. What did you like about the series? Favourite characters? Anything you didn't like? Who do you want to see more of? Just tell us your thoughts etc.

In the first series, what really got the hook in me for it was Eddie. His story and everything just made it more real, like perhaps it could really happen out there. There was no magical power that made him a sex god after he was turned, he was just himself, only now a vampire. I would have loved to see Eddie make it through, and was really sad that he was killed. I liked him.

The first series? Hmmm, I would have to say I really liked Gran, she was so sweet and it was so sad when she passed! And I would have to agree with Deja, Eddie is the perfect example of how some plans backfire. Not everyone is cut out for being one of the dead. Poor Eddie. I was gripped with curiousity trying to figure out who was the killer, not to mention, I watched it with all of my cousins at a family reunion and one had read the books (and got me hooked on them) but I had to keep telling her to shut up and don't tell me the next episode!
I really did like meeting Eric the first time, and of course, Bill was a sweety and that captured my attention. Also, the series doesn't hold anything back, it's not like Twilight (excuse me while I puke at that thought) and everything that is done is gory and gross and realistically dark and dreary and it's great! Although I don't know how I could be Sookie and sleep with Bill the SECOND he came out of the grave like that, I think I would want him to take a shower first...ick.

For me, I absolutely loved the development of Tara. She was my fav female of that season; she was real, gritty, funny and vulnerable. I jumped to the Tara/Sam ship and I'm hoping they will get back together as soon as she kicks her MaryAnn habit.

I really liked the gran, gutted that she died. But my fav character has to be Tara! She is just so FUNNY! Gutted shes not in the books though. And i can't believe that the first book is the whole series, they've REALLY added in a LOT.

My fav character is Sam, I really want to see him grow. I also would have like to see more of Eddie. As Sue has said, nothing is held back, which is good. It's great to get a series which has so much in it.
What do you guys think of Maryanne? And what about Eric's new look? Personall I think his new look is sooo much better lol

What did you like about the series?Guh everything lol. The realism, the metaphors and analogies. Great writing and characterisation. Favourite characters? Lafayette!! A thousand times Lafayette ;D Tara was also brilliant and I loved there raport. Sam was just too adorable for words and as the show progressed I totally fell in love with Terry. Eric and Pam's debut scenes were fab and perfect too. Anything you didn't like? Can't really think of anything other than Eddie being killed off. Like everyone else I really liked him a lot  Who do you want to see more of?Pam, Hoyt, Terry

What did you like about the series? I just love how brutal and sexy it is. It just reminds me exactly of how vampires would be if they were in the real world. Favourite characters? Andy Bellefleur, d**n that man makes me laugh. I love it when he's drunk, he always makes a fool out of himself x3 He thinks he knows so much but he knows nothing. I also fell in love with Sookie. I'm inspired to eventually dye my hair blond thanks to her. Anything you didn't like? I don't like the flashbacks...  Who do you want to see more of? Honestly, I'm going to fricking piss myself the moment they bring Alcide on the show. I'm anticipating it so badly. SO badly. Just waiting. Waiting. I can't wait to see who they pick to play him. I wouldn't mind seeing Bubba making an appearance but where do you find an actor that looks ridiculously like Elvis before he died? O.o |

^ Another Alcide fan ;D Ima squeal and wet my pants next season, so long as they cast him right.  Bubba would be awesome, I just adore him in the books. Bruce Campbell is the only guy I can think of that could pull it off physically. But he's busy on Burn Notice, though I do think Bubba is best kept to the books. |

I see alot of you would have liked Eddie to stay, how would you have envisioned his role progress through the series?
I also agree Bubba is great though best kept to the books.

I would have loved to see Eddie and Jason become friends outside of the basement. Jason is such a good soul who seems to only want to help, but he is also a little too guilable and believes everyone in everything they say. I am not sure how Jason is in the books, but on the series sometimes I think he is a little too, slow minded. But he makes up for that with his good looks and boyish charm. lol
Jason is just so curious, he seemed to just soak up everything that Eddie was telling him about being a vampire and I guess life/unlife in general.
I am so going to have to get the books.

Even though a lot of people think she's psycho, I thought Amy was really cool! Even though she got high off V to the point of hallucination frequently, she was like the only person who saw the good in Jason and they were practically perfect for each other! I loved how they were holding hands when they were sleeping, that was just so cute! It was a bummer when Rene strangled her and I can only imagine what Jason felt like when he woke up to find her dead.

Hmm I agree. Also in a way I would have liked to see how her character progressed, especially if they had kept her and Eddie...now that would have been interesting.

I quite liked Amy too and despite her issues I do think she truly did care for Jason and he her. I also love the hell out of Lizzie Caplan, she was the only character in Cloverfield I wanted to live  |
