There have been quite a few opinions rendered by True Blood viewers about the “Bill and Sookie and Eric” triangle. Non-shipper people are dreading it going any farther but the majority seem pretty anxious to get the party started, so to speak.

I’ve read all the books and as I’ve said before and as the author of the books, Charlaine Harris has stated, they are entirely separate mediums for entertainment.

Alan Ball bought the rights to the books and has said repeatedly that he wishes to remain true to the “spirit” of the books with about 50% of the television show this season being taken from the books.

SPOILER!!!

In the books the Eric and Sookie dynamic is changed drastically by at least two distinct situations. One, Sookie repeatedly drinks Eric’s blood and two, the maenad currently called “Maryann” puts a hex on Eric, causing him to forget “who” he is. Sookie ends up caring for him having “found” him about 20 miles from her home, and the two fall for one another. Bill has made this easy as he is quite deceitful—a practice that he’s probably had to hone having existed as a vampire for 170-odd years. At the time Sookie beds Eric she is not dating Bill. Let’s keep in mind too, as Bill said in last night’s episode after Eric tricked Sookie into sucking “silver” bullets from his body, Eric has had 1000 years to hone his own mad prevaricating skillz.

Certainly of the two Bill is the better man but that would make for a boring story so expect True Blood, Season 3 to have a prominent triad element to it. For you Bill-lovers however, Alan Ball has said that ultimately, Bill and Sookie will prevail as a couple–but will we have to wait until the final season?
