True Blood Question
Why is it that in the book-to-TV transition, Eric is the only main character that wasn't made more likable/sympathetic?
They made Lafayette and Tara funny and gave them much bigger roles in the TV storyline.
Jason went from being a greedy, completely self-centered @$$hole into a much more tolerable character that even goes so far as to defend his sister.
Bill was given credit for rescuing Sookie from Longshadow and is portrayed as much warmer than he came off in the books...
But, aside from the dubious implications of his behavior towards Godric, Eric has been made out to be much more sadistic and conniving than he was in the novels - involving Loretta, torturing Lafayette, Sookie's attraction to him being construed as a result of the blood...
Does Alan Ball know something we don't about where the books are headed? Why such a pro-Bill/anti-Eric stance?
