Heh. If he's a werewolf, then he's got a pretty lousy way of showing it. Either in his human form (not quite tortured enough), or in the canine form (I mean... that's a shitty power to have.. to just transform into some mutt).

I think he's just the token nice, normal guy that you kinda want to cheer for, but is probably going to get screwed.

Oh you're probably right but I think the dog stuff is going somewhere. It's fun to speculate.

Ookii probably forgot to flip the switch on the Developers group to allow you to use the spoilers tag.

A surprisingly large group to miss as well.

Apart from that one would think it would be surprising that a 100 year old vampire wouldn't know that mind-readers and werewolves wouldn't exist.  He clearly didn't know that the dog was when he first mentioned it, and was also equally surprised at Sookie's powers as well.

But he was also seen with the dog, twice now. Maybe not a werewolf but something else?

Yeah, I noticed him with the dog there too. That's good actually. Being a were-housepet isn't even remotely cool.

Not even a dog "whisperer" either. I mean, he was talking to the dog, but the dog didn't..really say much. He's like anyone else.

So what the fuck is up? The barking is a mystery...

Remember, this is based on a book series.  30 seconds of Googling will give you the (probable) answer.  I won't spoil it if ya don't wanna look.

Half my coworkers have read the books. Apparently you can't trust them for anything. This isn't following the books all that well.

They could be telling lies though. I don't know for sure.

The barking in the sleep was funny.

I gotta chime in and say that the characters on this show have really grabbed me. I had one strange thought that her dumbass brother would end up wanting to fuck a vampire really bad, and somehow Tara finds that out and uses it as her in. Ok, there is no way in hell thats happening but I aight scared to come up with shit. :)

So far, Tara is probably my favorite character. Can't wait for show 4.

Yeah, Tara is funny.

Favorite character is Bill. Or maybe I mean the actor. The world weary civil war + vamp angle makes for a cool characterization. I have one gripe though... The guy comes off sort of childlike and innocent. The way he always approaches Sookie, for example.. Or how he let those addicts get ahold of him in the first ep. Yet, the other vamps respect him. How the fuck did those people in the restaurant lure him outside at first? He eventually fucked their shit up and all, but that he got trapped doesn't make sense. He's an asskicker. I kind of want to think it was all intentional.

Yeah, he got took out by two breathers? It didn't seem to add up, as powerful as he showed himself to be later.

Just a cool ass episode all around really. The gout was funny as hell, but I'm glad they showed more of the vamp culture. Can't wait for more. Oh, and Bill's "charming" of that cop was badass.

Wtf with the sheet smelling.

Brad from Generation Kill as an old ass vampire FTW?  Awesome.

Also apparently "Brad" is a Skarsgård as his name is Alexander Skarsgård.

I thought the actor was Scandi, just by the accent (the foreign language sounded like it too). It'll be cool if the vamp character Eric (better yet, "Erik") is an old Norseman too.

While having some serious misgivings about aspects of the show, I find myself eagerly anticipating the next episode, so I guess I am hooked.

I've never worried a lot about spoilers but if someone who has read the book spoils the Mystery of the WereDog Bartender for me I'm gonna be pissed off.

I liked the flashback stuff tonight. Pretty unique/creepy "turning" scene with the neck slicing.

I'm beginning to hate the bartender dude. Time for him to die, I think.

But do you think he's the killer? Who would have the motive to do the latest one?

I also liked the flashback scene. Look forward to more.

Great ep. If I wasn't before, I am defnitely hooked now. Glad to see grandma go- she was annoying. Hope Bill's sire shows up again during the run of the series- she was fun.

I'm thinking she's the "she" referred to in episode three, which I hope means that'll be true.

Yeah, the series has been ok, but that was the episode I'd been waiting for. More about Bill's civil war stuff, and the hamburger with aids scene was great. Nice touches to just about every character, but I hated seeing granny get it in the end. (That's what she said)

Having lost a grandparent I was really close to, tonight's episode really got me pretty good. The whole bit with the pie was intense, imo. A few wandering moments compared to last week's.

Really enjoying Rutina Wesley (mmm) and Nelsan Ellis is turning into a pretty good character (though I'm not sure they can beat the aids burger scene).
