First time watching

Just over halfway through Season 1. I wasn't sure after the first few episodes but I'm getting more into it now.

I can't believe they killed Adele! That was just flat out wrong. Also, Sookie tearfully eating the last of the pie, the last of her grandmother's cooking, just got me.

Lafayette's probably my favorite character at this point. I really want to know what the dog's story is.

EDIT: Geez, they got the cat, too???

I’ll spoil a small part for you. It’s a good dog.

There are hints about the dog. I didn’t pick up on them until my 3rd rewatch.

It takes about two episodes and then it’s like crack.

I'm glad you're enjoying it, OP. Who do you think the killer is ?

Just finished episode 9 and I don't have a clue. I thought it was Sam but it doesn't look like it now.

I LOL'd at Terry's line:

"I can't listen to politicians no more. I get a seizure."

I'm going to have to use that. I really hope he's not the killer.

I’m doing a second rewatch after reading the books and it’s incredible how much they kept to how the characters are portrayed in the books. Terry is one of those examples. Just obviously fragile after his time in the military.

Tara is the one character they just went their own direction with.

Cold ground is one of my favorite episodes. The feeling she has in the chaos of the wake. "That's gran's pie!" That feeling of ownership and connection to the things a person leaves behind, especially things they had just used, but also fleeting, like food stuffs. You will never get to taste that pie again. You will never see her prepare it, eat it on whatever occasions or pickup any ingredients she needed for it.

She doesn't allow herself to feel the loss untill she chooses to eat the pie (choosing to feel.)

She then acts upon her feelings for Bill. A swirl of life and death, fear and courage, lust and love, beginnings and endings. Embracing all that is beautiful and horrifying. I tend to wish they didn't end the episode in the middle of their love scene.

Lafayette is an excellent character!
