Weave Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 He looks very nice, but IMHO he is waaaaaaaaay to young. Terry is a Vietnam Vet and would certainly be much older than this delightful chap I think they made him look slightly older in the series Kimmy, I agree, he is nice Quote
Peacefield Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 In the TV show, didn't they mention something about Terry being a Gulf War vet? Seems like I heard that on an episode. Quote
frankie Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 In the TV show, didn't they mention something about Terry being a Gulf War vet? Seems like I heard that on an episode. Even if he was in the Gulf War and that would make it okay for him to be so young in the TV-series, I just think it's cheating for the sake of more eyecandy, that Terry isn't in his forties or fifties like he is in the books. I'm saying this even though I'm quite fancying the TV Terry (And by the way thank you Gyre for that pic ) Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Even if he was in the Gulf War and that would make it okay for him to be so young in the TV-series, I just think it's cheating for the sake of more eyecandy, that Terry isn't in his forties or fifties like he is in the books. I'm saying this even though I'm quite fancying the TV Terry (And by the way thank you Gyre for that pic ) I agree I always pictured Terry a lot older in the books and was quite shocked by how young he was in the show. Not that I mind, but I agree that I think they just did it for the eye-candy Quote
Nicola Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Well I never really realised the eye candy potential of Terry with Eric lurking but now you come to mention it, he does have a bit of something Maybe not as much as Eric but definitley more than Andy (Poor Andy! He's canny really!) Quote
Weave Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 I always thought Terry was older in the books, I can't remember if Sookie said he had been in the vietnam war, I know she said he had 'dark thoughts', I felt so sorry for him in the book but its good that in the show they are putting more to his character, the same as Lafayette .

Stephanie2008 Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 I love that! That's an avatar for the future Quote
Weave Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 I love that! That's an avatar for the future Yay Quote
Charm Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I love that! That's an avatar for the future Great pic Gyre! Quote
Weave Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Great pic Gyre! Not a problem, I am always happy to share Quote
Weave Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I am now watching episode seven, season two I hate Leona Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I just watched season one episode eleven...poor Jason Quote
catwoman Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 I am watching Series 1 Episode 8. Ok and I will admit, I am becoming a real fan! I LOVE IT! I have to go pick up the second book today from the library. I could have got it this morning but I wanted to watch some more episodes first! I am loving Bill more and more each episode. Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 The series is going to be shown on Channel 4 from next Wednesday I think I might have to rewatch again Quote
Kimmy619 Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 I went home to Cornwall to visit relatives this weekend, and when talking to my brother, he mentioned True Blood! It really suprised me, as he is a solicitor and usually quite serious! The phenomenon is spreading....!! Quote
lexiepiper Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 Yeah I was talking to my gran last night and she said she likes it, I was quite shocked Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 I don't know anyone else who likes it Apart from on here of course. Maybe it will get more popular if it is shown on Channel 4 I hope they don't wait too long to show series 2. Quote
Kimmy619 Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 I saw an advert on channel 4 last night as they are showing the first series in October I think! Quote
catwoman Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 I went home to Cornwall to visit relatives this weekend, and when talking to my brother, he mentioned True Blood! It really suprised me, as he is a solicitor and usually quite serious! The phenomenon is spreading....!! I agree it is. My OH who HATES reading loves the Sookie Stackhouse series of books and is obessed with the show. He watches it in America and says that he is missing it already. He keeps telling me to hurry up and watch it so were are at exactly the same point so when I next go over there next, we can watch them all together. I agree though some people who you would not believe would watch something like this are loving it. It's great. hopefully will make some people read the books and make them love reading in general. Quote
Peacefield Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 I have a couple of offline friends who love True Blood. One of them told me about the show and then I proceeded to tell her they were actually books first so she went and read all 7 of them, LOL. My other friend started watching TB at my urging and hopefully will start the first book soon. Quote
Charm Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 I had been on to a very good friend of mine to watch True Blood for ages (I just knew she'd love it ). She had recorded it on Sky plus but how ever hard I tried I couldn't get her motivated to watch it . She's also a reader and as her mojo had up and gone I recommended the Sookie books. Sooo, we were in town together one day and she bought the first three books , needless to say I haven't seen or heard much of her lately apart from the odd phone call saying 'OMG these are so good!' or 'I can't get my head out of these books, I've got nothing done!' I think she's well and truly hooked!! Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 I wish I was just reading the books for the first time. At least the short stories come out next month and the next novel not long after that I might have to reread the books again shortly. It's the last episode of the first series on Friday on FX Quote
Weave Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 I am scared to admit this but my husband is a bigger fan than me!, he complains if we go out on a Friday night! Quote
Charm Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 My OH loves it too (I wonder why ). It must be the only series he has suggested watching again and he never does that! Quote
