If they are staying true to the story arcs found in the books then the first couple of episodes in this season is groundwork for the crises of conscience that some of the characters are about to go through. Jason in particular is an idiot but not a mean to the bone sort of idiot. The really evil people who run the camp, the fairy who is messing with Sam, the deep problems of Andy Lafleur (the policeman), hypocritical politicians and so much more are coming up. Granted Sookie's sex life could be considered Springeresque in it's diversity and perversity but there is so much more..The Eric of the books stokes my estrogen levels as does Sam but if there is one thing missing from the show that is found in the books (and there is more than one thing missing)it would be the humor. Imagine Buffy the Vampire Slayer without humor. Ugh. Not that you can't have serious episodes but humor is like salt in a recipe. You might not taste the salt but it brings the flavors together.
