The intricacies of vampire politics are being kept away from the audience as well! It works well for taking us on Sookie's journey but I'm beginning to be frustrated with it. I just want to know what the real deal is so I can understand what the hell is going on.

Absolutely! Bill seems really deluded to think that he could keep that from her.

Hee re. you loving Eric and Pam! I'm not really finding Eric attractive yet, but Pam seems very cool. However they've also successfully grossed me out so I'm in a weird place with them.
