He(Bill) lied to protect himself not you(Sookie) just like Eric said when he had cement in his hair. I think that and the whole we hurt eachother just as deeply are the only real statements I take issue with. What does Eric say "Hi Nan and _?_ stormtroopers"?

[luvtheviking]

@shinycrazy Gay stormtroopers. lol xD

This is awesome Bill and Eric working together. Can.t blame Sookie there both lying assholes.

Nan totally overplayed her hand. She became so drunk on her delusion of her own power, she forgot to be prudent and diplomatic. Did she really think that insulting and threatening Bill and Eric would get them on her side? Tsk, tsk, Nan Flannigan.

@trixiedoor First, it's a different story with Eric & Sookie on TB. Second, she doesn't tell Bill & Eric that she's choosing to be alone. She doesn't tell them that she wants her life to be a Norman Rockwell painting, which is a recurring theme in the books and TB. She says that it's the best decision for ALL of them. She is thinking of them. Sookie had never listened to Alcide. He doesn't get her at all. And her gran didn't tell her to be alone-just not to be afraid if it happens.

[trixiedoor]

@askarsfan2011 As written, her decision is about herself, not them. SHE loves them both, and SHE's confused. Alcide tells her we should trust our brains not hearts, Gran says it's not so bad to be alone. Result: since she can't choose one, the only way is to leave both. That's it. And I agree with the need to be on her own and sort herself out, it's just that her emotional journey to that decision was poorly built up and just tacked on at the very end... she's an afterthought in the story.

[trixiedoor]

@askarsfan2011 seriously, who is "a normal human being" on TB?? Yet everyone is way more understandable and consistent than Sookie. BookSookie makes perfect sense in her reasons for not telling Eric about what happened and for fearing it couldn't work. Her reactions are emotionally believable and organic. On TB it was a mess. There's not an inkling in the writing that supports her "letting them go" and even if so it's just so sloppy and unfocused that it didn't come through in the scenes AT ALL.

[askarsfan2011]

@trixiedoor It makes sense if she's not rejecting them but letting them go as she does w/ Eric in Book 4. AB just extended this to Bill as well. Sookie doesn't think like a normal human being, which is why her actions are strange. She doesn't get how much Bill & Eric VALUE her. You need to really think about the book character, and how AB is translating her WEIRDNESS on screen. Remember we don't experience the show thru Sookie's eyes like the books, but thru the eyes of a human.

[trixiedoor]

@askarsfan2011 Also, I think her reasons for rejecting them both are, once again, sloppy and not adequately built up in the previous episodes. In fact it's all so confusing and poorly written that I'm not even sure what the writers were aiming for. We're probably supposed to think that since she loves them both and doesn't want to hurt one, and because of what gran/Alcide told her, she decides being alone is best. That's it, anything else is rationalization that's not in the writing...

[trixiedoor]

@askarsfan2011 Sorry, but that doesn't work for me. her being "strong and compassionate" is too broad and vague to explain her actions and development throughout the season. My issue is that she's too superficially written and emotionally implausible in the way her reactions change so quickly and with so little insight offered to us viewers. She simply doesn't act like a real person would, and that makes unrelatable to most people, because they can't empathize or follow her train of thoughts.

[askarsfan2011]

@trixiedoor I had a revelation & changed my mind about Sookie's emotional portrayal in S4. I don't think she was hollow. She was trying to be strong & compassionate to Eric & Bill when they needed her and then let them both go when she decided that they no longer did. Sookie's courage and compassion are a big part of her personality. She just doesn't understand how much Bill and Eric need her...and not just when there is a crisis.

[askarsfan2011]

I think the season makes more sense if we view Sookie's actions as trying to be strong for Eric and then Bill in their hour of need. Sookie's compassion is a big part of her character. I don't think Sookie understands how much they both need her. She never does in the books because she can't read their minds & access their feelings. That's why she ends it with both vamps here. But we can see by her hesitation as she's leaving & and crying outside the door how much she's hurting.
