was not that excited about it. I know that the HBO series will vary from the books but it has just jumped way over the shark. Bill is just not that big a character in the books and Stephen Moyer probably benefitted from his marriage to Anna Paquin with his role being re-written because he married Anna Paquin. Pam has been turned into a whinny creature. Andy has been turned into a joke. The werewolves in the books have a more highly evolved society then the pack in the show where they are portrayed more like trailer trash.

The books provide a more well laid out picture of the supernatural world then the series. And how could they not put Bubba in the HBO show?
