Oh honey so can I... I hope I don't miss that episode. He so deserves to get some pudding... He hasn't had any since he joined that damn group. He's backed up...
I never read the books. Someone told me I should.. I mean a real fan. She almost killed herself to get the last book because ..."he turns her in to a vampire"... *screams then runs off to Barnes and Noble* ...scary I tell yah.
I don't think the stories are at all parallel. I mean the writer for the show is from six feet under so not much of a similarity might happen. I'm sure though it will be just as good even better.
