Angelic1302 said: 2-The woman who bailed her out is some type of goddess of mischeif - She is trying to turn girls with no family/friends into her slaves. Not sure how the books or series play it, but I've heard she is a maenad. If that's true, maenads weren't themselves goddesses, but female human followers of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, drunkenness, revelry and unchecked passion. Makes sense, then, that she'd be attracted to Tara, huh? I bet she does try either to enslave Tara or recruit her as a sister.  Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

In the book, the naked woman with the pig is a maenad and she is a supernatural being. She is being treated much differently in TrueBlood than she was in the books. The whole Tara storyline is so different from the books that until I had read more of the books I thought they'd made Tara up so what will happen next...I have no idea! 
If anyone wants to discuss the books w/ me...Pls .orgnote me! I won't discuss them here to avoid any spoilers.

i'm curious if u started reading the books prior 2 this being on hbo NOPE...I started reading them afterwards. I actually thought TrueBlood was a Twilight rip off on HBO's part  and I thought I'd watch it because I've enjoyed Twilight. My friend had told me about the books, but I wasn't really into vampire stuff My oldest has read them. I saw the first TrueBlood and started reading.
As is the case w/ most book adaptations, the books are even better than the show, and I LURVE the show. I'm firmly planted in denial |

It's got nothing on Angel or Buffy, and I didn't like it at first, but now I'm slightly addicted to it

Too bad you live on the other side of the country, I'd tape an episode and mail it  I'll catch it someday. I have a feeling it's gonna end up on sci-fi, like how Stargate started on showtime the ended up on sci-fi. |

Yeah, kinda...I burn through them to find out what happens. I'm one step better than skipping to the end (CHEATING IMHO). But then I'll find I've missed something. I also go back and re-read parts I like 
I've read books 1-6 since TrueBlood started on HBO. I've also read Wicked and The Book Thief. Those last two books took me a very long time to read. They are certainly not "light" reading like the Southern Vampire books are. I can burn through a So. Vamp book in a day. I'm firmly planted in denial |
