Eric Northman Vs Bill Compton – Cast Your Final Vote
First off, a big thanks to everyone who commented on the Eric Vs Bill post from last week – you made it a lot of fun.
I received 171 comments and counting, and what is surprising, is the amount of votes for each vampire I received. I decided to make this more official and add a real poll.
So if you haven’t had the chance to pick your favorite vamp from the Sookie series yet, please cast your official vote. If you already left a comment on last week’s post please feel free to vote in this poll as well. Happy voting, and may the best vamp win!

How can Bill be so far back? I think Bill Compton is the best character on the show and in the books! Hands Down!
Bill never wins these polls. I believe the reason they went to a single vote poll, is the last one had so many of the same posters repeat voting to run the score up not realizing they can see individual IP address. This way… no cheating. (but I could be wrong)
Eric.
The books are canon, True Blood is fanfic and what Ball does in his world doesn’t count to me.
Book Eric loves Sookie, he puts himself on the line for her repeatedly – physically, emotionally and politically – he’s smart, he’s strong, he’s willing to do whatever he has to do to protect her, and he wants her BAD.
He can be manipulative and devious, but his motives are always transparent to Sookie and he never, ever lies to her. And more pointedly, he will not tolerate others lying to her either (Bill I am looking at YOU).
No contest with that other one as far as I’m concerned
Yeah!… what Aaine said. LOL
Well stated about Eric. I might add Eric told Sookie he does not lie to her, BUT he may not tell her everything. CH may still write something that is a “gray” area in this regard.
Eric also lets Sookie be Sookie and likes (loves ?) her as she is… he doesn’t tryi to mold her or change her into something she isn’t.
I dont hate Bill, just enjoy Eric more. His journey for me is the most interesting.
I’m all about Bill, but Bill will never win at any of these polls. His fans gave up a long time ago at voting, due to duplicity, so even stating it’s a one time vote will not bring in his fans.
I adore Bill Compton. Sexy, loving, intense, dark, evolving……and so much more. Stephen Moyer plays Bill beautifully. No other could have pegged him so.
He is my first favorite.
I enjoy Eric as well but he does not do it for me. Just my opinion.
Favorite vampire ever? The Viking of course!!!!
Eric is my favorite vampire ever! He is mult-faceted. He shows how much he cares about Sookie just by letting her be herself. He’s a bad boy with a heart of gold when it comes to Sookie. He’s always looking after her and giving her what she needs the most. I love how Sookie brings out a gentler, softer side to him that you wouldn’t normally see. Plus, he’s hot! Gracious plenty anyone? Who could say “no” to that?
My vote will always be for Bill,in the books and in the show he is the one who has my heart.And if I were to compare the Bill book from Bill the T.V. show I would not change my mind one bit.Bill now and always.
@Aqua *grins* That’s what’s so much fun. We can love who we want. Something for everyone.
I vote Eric of course. Why is it that Bill’s Babe’s are always making excuses for Bill not winning? Accept the fact that more readers and viewers prefer Eric. I love Eric in the books (loathe Bill) and love AS as Eric in the show. Curse you Alan Ball, you cannot make us love Bill no mater how you try.
Bill lovers do not make excuses for Bill. Maybe we do not spend all out time on the computer doing polls? Better things to do? Also, there are approx 5 – 10 mill people watching the show (in all formats) – do you get this many people voting on polls? I don’t think so. As I said, not everyone does these things so there is no actual way of catching who follows who.
Also, if Eric LOVES Sookie so much and cares for her etc etc etc how comes he NEVER TELLS HER HE LOVES HER!!
Bill Compton is the best vampire ever, and the best and most popular character on TB. But hateful Eric fans have turned so many Bill fans off the communities and polls by rigging every damn thing that Bill fans don’t even bother to vote now.
But whatever, Bill will always win for me.
So in season 1 when Bill won all these polls, was it b/c the Bill fans rigged/hacked them? NO. It was b/c Bill was the most popular in Season 1. Things have changed though. Go look at the numbers on facebook, livejournal, twitter, tumbler, etc and yes, all the polls (that can’t be hacked or fans don’t comment multiple times under different names not realizing that your IP address shows up). But Bill fans have nothing to worry about b/c Alan Ball is determined to change what Charlaine Harris wrote. That’s obvious to see. He is not going to show the real love story of the books, Eric and Sookie, but intends to develop his own love story for Bill and Sookie.
Why is there never poll with Andy Bellefleur?
Just saying’…
@konfetti ROFL I love Andy. Pig! Pig! We need more Andy.
@Mary Well said.
Another note: Come on people quit whining the poll’s are automatically fixed cause your guy isn’t winning. And to say you gave up because of hateful fans is silly. Some of both teams fans are hateful, which is sad. Enjoy it. There is enough to go around. I love Eric, but I’ll survive if Bill is the HEA.

lol, ok Bill fans, stop making excuses, bill never wins these polls because 90% of the public prefer ERIC, (and it’s going to get worse because eric will become a prominet character in S3), that’s just a fact, deal with it.

GRAZIE MILLE STEPHEN!

Nenja,
How can you say Eric is the most popular? Over 5 mill people watch the show and I reckon all those people do not go on Facebook, Twitter, polls etc.Not everyone is computer literate or don’t waste their time on it.
Also, in the books, Sookie admits she loves Bill and vice versa. Does Eric ever say that? Bill has laid his “life” for Sookie. When asked by Bill if Eric would lay down his life for Sookie, Eric was silent. It took Eric to have amnesia (and probably the same personality as Bill) for Sookie to sex with him and that was after he tricked her into his blood! Also, because of this blood she was hot for him. He tricked her many times – how come he was up front with her? In the series he tricked her again – and gave her dreams MIND RAPE!!! Also DNA changed her for ever! By doing these deeds – it was worse than all the lying Bill was supposed to have done plus the trunk scene and the betrayal! The actions Eric did on Sookie effected her physically which is more severe than lies etc! Read the books again – you have been glamoured!!! Alan Ball is doing a much better job that your precious books! Also, CH has said that Bill was to complex to write for, which is why she wrote more Eric – he was much more simple!
“Also, CH has said that Bill was to complex to write for, which is why she wrote more Eric – he was much more simple!”
Not true at all! Find the quote from CH and link us. CH has said that she found Bill hard to write b/c he had no humor, and Eric fun to write b/c of his humor.
“In the series he tricked her again – and gave her dreams MIND RAPE!!!”
If we’re going down that route (which I don’t believe the “mind rape” thing at all), then Bill gave Sookie “mind rape” in Season 1 and will do the same to Sam.
Eric hands down!!
No matter the show…Eric loves sookie in the books!
It’s better ten times do not say I LOVE YOU that say it unders false interest as Bill did!!!
I Don’t care where Ball is going, but in the books is clear, Eric put himself in danger for her all the time..Where was Bill?How many bulletts, silver chains, bomb did he take?How many time did he said to Sookie that she was beautiful and proud?
In Book 9 Bill saved her becouse Eric telled him, where were Eric??He was feeling the pain of Sookie, who was torturing, and maybe she’s alive becouse he took all her pain???Did everybody avere think about that…?
Charliane Harris wanted to kill off Bill in book 9, he said it almost 2 or 3 days ago…and she also said that S/B will never come back as a couple.
I Really can’t undesrtand how to love so much someone who raped his girl in a car, no matter how tortured he was…it’s the worst thing ever in a woman life…
The Viking never harmed her, always protected her, i think even payed her hospital bills..,made gift, he loves her the way she’s and he so proud of her, something that Bill never was!!
I don’t care about Bill of TB, the real Bill is the one in the books, as the real Eric!!
Team Viking all the way!
Eric, of course, there’s no contest.
I don’t see the appeal of Eric Northman. Simply can’t understand it. Bill is, without a doubt, the sexiest of the 2.
Nenja,
Only 171 people voted on this poll! 90% of the public??? 5 mil people watch this show – what kind of contest is it when only 171 people of 5 mill vote! Sorry – you are lying to yourself.
Did you watch the SCREAM AWARDS??? Did yo hear those women yell “I love you Stephen” when AB was talking? Did I hear silence for THE VIKING??? YES!!!!!
This is a poll from Eric and Bill from the BOOK!!!and not from the tv!!Honestly i don’t see the point saying who scream more or not…it’s really immature….
So remember that this is a poll from the Books and vote thinking of that…please and Thanks!!!!
So SORRY! It is people like you that make other people HATE ERIC!!!!
From Immature!!
did you know what i voted?
You would be surprise to know what i voted trust me…
I dont’ like when is pretty clear that is a poll from the Books and not from the tv show and there are people that keep sayin “did you hear that or di you hear this”
Who cares?!?!
I don’t care who hate who and why, stupid thing for me , i’m not a teeneger, nor more…..
That’s all….my opnion….and i’ve not interest in offending anyone but i’m just tired of reading that kind of things….
READ THE BOOKS PEOPLE… ERIC NORTHMAN HAS NOT COMPETTION HERE…. BILL COMPTON IS A PATETHIC CHARACTER NEXT THE CHARACTER OF ERIC NORTHMAN… AND ALEXANDER SKARSGARD IS NOT A MAN…IS A GOD OF BEAUTY AND SENSUALITY!!!
Selene – This is the BOOKS not the show – Alexander Skarsgard has no relevance here – check out Supe’s post above!
I like bill compton because in the show he woul never knowing hurt sookie. I mean in season one he did everything to protect her. He even faced the stupuid I like toruting people mastrate. He did what he did to return to her. I haven’t read the books and I’m glad i never did. I think the show is starting to turn. YOu are having fans of the show and fans of the book. I like eric but he is such a dick. He may be a man of his word but he is down righ dirty. He only wants sookie because he can’t have her. I mean if bill didn’t love her he wouldn’t even want her.
Yes I think he has lied but het give a guy a break. he knows how fraciel sookie is. she puts on a good front but if she really knew what bill knows then she would fall apart. Now I have heard the bill in the books was notthing like the bill on the show. Which leads me to think that maybe the old saying is true. The good girls love the bad boys. That’s why there are so many eric fans out there. Is is true bill raped sookie? If that’s so then that’s the book bill that’s not our bill. Also in the show bills maker released him years ago. Which means she had no more power over him. Well I’m a bill fan all the way. the tv bill now….hehe
Telsa,
I agree with you 100%. Lets clarify the “rape”. Now, in the books, Bill was kidnapped and was not allowed to feed. He was not himself and a delirious. He was in a trunk of a car and a character called Debbie Pelt threw Sookie into the trunk. Bill, being delirious and very hungry, well, his primitive urges came forth and he attacked Sookie for blood and sex. He woke up and realised what he was doing and stopped. He felt very bad about this and Sookie even realised that he did not mean to do it. I have read also that Charlain Harris also does not consider it true “rape” so I don’t know what the big deal is with the Erics. It is like the whole world got blown up the way they keep on bringing it up and using it against Bill ie “If you knew what Bill did etc you would hate him!” I, on the other hand, admire Bill, for realising what he was doing and STOPPING
I’m back, Telsa, I accidently sent my last message without finishing!
Yes, Bill STOPPED and was mortified at what he had done. Now, Eric, was he mortified with the tricks he played on Sookie? In the show, he callously did the bullet sucking without any concern for Sookie – he lied and he laughed and he was a real dick. How could the Eric people enjoy that scene? It says a lot for their personality if they could see no wrong with that scene and the actions of Eric – VIKING GOD or not! He did WRONG and he changed her DNA without her permission and did not stop (unlike Bill who did stop) and he feels no emotion that he did wrong – he mind raped Sookie – fullstop!
hey Lizzie,
Thanks for clear up. That wasn’t rape I didn’t think Bill could ever do anything like that. What you said just reminded me of a conversation between sookie and bill in season 2. She said she knew he had darkness in him, but he has good in him too. That is what she saw when she looked into his eyes. Now since that was in the books I wonder if alan ball is going to put that into season 3.
I mean that would make a head turner. I looking forward too it and at the same time I hope he doesn’t stay with the books all the way because I hate that bill and sookie break up. What was the writer thinking? God I love bill even on this page bill is so much hotter then eric. I don’t know Bill is a bad boy too but he is also good and that’s why I love him.
**Contains book spoilers**
@Lizzie=The moderators on Charlaine Harris’ site issued a statement several months ago after talking to CH that the trunk incident equals the legal & physical description of rape. There is no maybe/maybe not rape. Rape is rape.
Ok. Rape is rape. He stopped and was remorseful. Sookie understood. What about Eric and what he did? Is there a term for that type of mind rape??? Just curious.
Also Mary, haven’t vampires been raping humans for eons? Even the Viking? That’s what they do. So what is different? Why do the Eric lovers condemn Bill for what Eric and his kind have been doing since conversion??
Telsa,
Alan Ball may not do the rape as he was against a suggestion by Stephen Moyer in that episode where Bill and Lorena killed that couple and had sex on the bed that Bill should rape that girl. Alan said that he did not think the audience would go for it, so keep our fingers crossed.
I am glad Alan is doing True Blood as he has given those books a brilliant lease of life and the show is full of surprises and not boring> If he followed the book, I would not be watching – too many fairies and supes andthe Eric and Sookie relationship was yuc. Plus, I did not like the book Sookie – she was low class and dumb. TV Sookie is more virtuous and even though she can be dumb, just plays the role to perfection and she and Bill are so obviously suited for each other. Alan read between the lines and saw the true relationship between Bill and Sookie and even though Charlaine decided to go with the money. She did book Bill a great disservice – he deserved better than what she wrote. Shame on her. Hail to to Alan Ball and his fantastic vision! Don’t worry Telsa, Bill will be with Sookie. There will be ups and downs but love will prevail!
If you want to go to other sites, there are plenty of Bil friendly sites out there were we don’t speak ill of other characters – do you belong to any?
Lizzie,
Sorry ,I don’t belong to any. do you know any I could go with. OH and I disagree with mary about the rape. I know what text book say on rape but if the guy isn’t fully aware of what he is doing like bill wasn’t then hey, it wasn’t rape. It was just one of those things. I know I’m wriitng a book about vampires as well and one can go mad with hunger if they do not take care of themselves. That’s why bill drinks true blood and only feeds on sookie. Oh I was watching season 1 last night and inhance viewing. I have the blu-ray.
so it said that maybe true blood doesn’t sasitfy all of a vampires needs. Wouldn’t that be hoot. Which explans why bill feeds on sookie. I also like the way laffette (I am so not spelling it right) explains the way bill feels about sookie. If you haven’t seen the blu-ray yet. Please let me know I would be glad to tell you what he said. Oh I would love to talk more. after all I can talk about and look at bill compton aka Stephen Moyar all day long hehe
“Is there a term for that type of mind rape???”
Never heard of that, even on True Blood. As I’m sure you know it was explained on TB that the human has sexual dreams about the vamp they ingested blood from so no “mind rape” there. If so then Bill “mind raped” Sookie in season 1 and will “mind rape” Sam also. It’s not one or the other.
“Also Mary, haven’t vampires been raping humans for eons? Even the Viking? That’s what they do. So what is different? Why do the Eric lovers condemn Bill for what Eric and his kind have been doing since conversion??”
I have no clue what other vampires do in Ms. Harris’ world since she doesn’t eleborate on that. We do know that Eric does not force himself on others if they aren’t inclined, and that he himself was raped by his maker. I don’t know any EL’s that condemn Bill for things Eric had done since Bill (and not Eric) has raped someone in CH’s vampire world.
“OH and I disagree with mary about the rape.”
No one said you had to agree with me. I was simply stating a fact…that CH views the trunk incident as rape.
Mary – I meant when Eric tricked Sookie into sucking the bullet – that led to “mind rape”. Now, when Bill offered to Sookie and Sam, they were both aware of the consequences – the Eric with the bullet trickery was not. There is a difference.
Also, am I to think that during his 1000 years, Eric always asked permission to have blood and sex??? Remember what CH said on her “Duckpond” site – “I don’t understand what the attraction to Eric is – he is a vampire – he is evil” – I can’t remember exact wording. (Also, did you read that CH said that Eric was not sentimental? I think people – readers and watchers, are glamoured and read/see only what they want to see. I just see Eric differently and I think CH lost an opportunity to expand on Bill, who had a much better story to tell then Eric – I mean the guy wants to regain his humanity and fell in love with a human! This is a vampire with a conscious – not one who looks good in tank tops and does great sex scenes. Sorry – just don’t get it!
You keep interchanging Book Eric and Bill with TV Eric and Bill two, and they are quite different. I will keep them separate in my response.
In regards to TV Eric…
“when Bill offered to Sookie and Sam, they were both aware of the consequences – the Eric with the bullet trickery was not. There is a difference.”
Bill didn’t tell Sookie that she would be attracted to him specifically…only that her libido would increase. So no, she wasn’t aware of all the consequences. I know what Eric did was manipulative. Not trying to say it wasn’t wrong b/c it was completely wrong. However, Bill is not squeaky clean/
In regards to Book Eric…
“I don’t understand what the attraction to Eric is – he is a vampire – he is evil” – I can’t remember exact wording. (Also, did you read that CH said that Eric was not sentimental?”
CH has always been very complimentary of Eric until recently (I wonder what that is about. anyway) , and she has known for a while that Eric was the preferred suitor. You can find her singing his praise in the archived threads on her site. She also elaborated on her recent statements and agreed that Eric is not evil. As for the sentimental statement, I know it well. She also elaborated on that statement, and that she didn’t see being sentimental as a must have character trait (which for some reason when it’s brought up, people leave that part out) CH: “In fact, lots of nice humans are not sentimental at all. I don’t see it as a must-have character trait. You can love someone without wanting to keep a lock of their hair under your pillow, which to me is a sentimental thing to do.” She has also said that Eric is a good guy for a vampire…he’s loyal…his people respect him…that Sookie has awakend things in him he thought were buried forever…he feels tremendous guilt about Sookie being tortured. I don’t have blinders on when it comes to Eric. I know he’s ruthless and manipulative, but unlike some Bill fans, I also see the many other layers that he has.
“I think CH lost an opportunity to expand on Bill, who had a much better story to tell then Eric – I mean the guy wants to regain his humanity and fell in love with a human!”
I think CH has told a great story…the 1000 year old Viking Vampire that has little to no humanity in him in book 1 and shuns feelings to the Vampire who can barely endure Sookie’s words in Book 9 and who has risked his life repeatedly for a human. It’s been great to see Sookie break through all those layers. CH knows the characters better than anyone since she is the creator, and I think she’s done a great job.
TV Eric and Bill…
“This is a vampire with a conscious – not one who looks good in tank tops and does great sex scenes. Sorry – just don’t get it!”
AS/Eric was much more than someone in tank tops and great sex scenes. His s/l arc with Godric was amazing. That rooftop scene and that episode is the favorite episode for most fans for a reason.
I admit that I’m not a fan of book Bill, but I do appreciate him. I hope that him and Sookie can form a true & lasting friendship now. They both need that. Now TB Bill, I’m ok with him for the most part. I don’t think he’s as perfect as AB is portraying, and hopefully he will delve into that in Season 3. He’s a vampire, and it’s time he started acting like it. I miss Season 1 Bill.
Tesla,
I f you want to post to other Bill lovers on other sites, here are the ones I belong to. These are safe sites where you don’t get attacked by rabid Eric people, though we do have Erics on the sites, but they are cool. Youae safe on these sites:
The Vault – http://www.trueblood-online.com
HBO site – http://www.truebloodnet.com
HBO Wiki site- http://billswikidwomen.wetpaint.com/ With this one, go to the members site and do a profile and get an avatar on go into ‘Discussions’ BILL20. I’ll see you there!!
I’ve read all the books and watched two seasons of TB. I strongly prefer Eric Northman to Bill Compton in both CH books and AB TV show. There’s so much about him that appeals to readers (and viewers in S2). Though dead he’s the most entertaining and alive character in both the media. He’s got a sense of adventure, zeast of life, curiosity, knowledge and experience of 1000 years, and plenty of secrets. He’s a man of action who expresses his feeling in caring for Sookie and saving her, instead of just expressing his love in words. It’s not his style. I didn’t like book 9, because suddenly CH changed the behaviour pattern. I don’t know if this was prompted by the show success or not, but Eric’s behaviour has changed. For me his character in this book was sidelined, and it looks as if CH returns again to B/S, which I doesn’t appeal to me as a reader. I’d like to be wrong about this.
I don’t know why so many Bill’s fans are so antagonistic and unfriendly towards Eric’s fans. All these comments about “rabid” Eric’s fans simply show the opposite. The same could be said about the comment about the poll’s result. It’s just a poll, why criticise the results and ridicule it? There are other games and polls in which Bill’s won, why can’t you be happy with those? On one of the forums there was a game in which Bill’s fan always tried eliminating Eric character from this game, however Eric’s fans haven’t retaliated with the same tactic.
I’ve read many things about Bill and Eric, but it’s was the first time I’ve heard about mind rape. I simply don’t understand why one can call Eric a rapist (mind or not:P) and absolving Bill of any guilt in a trunk rape (it doesn’t matter he stopped or was aware of it, he’s already violated her without her consent when he stopped). In addition, why one can call Eric a mind-rapist and absolve Bill of the same crime? Bill hasn’t told Sookie anything that she’ll be attracted to him after drinking his blood and that she’ll have sex dreams about him, though he elaborates about Eric just after Sookie’s bullet-sucking. If we stick to books only, bullet-sucking in Dallas wasn’t as traumatic to Sookie as some readers would like to make it. Sookie has kept a bullet sucked from Eric and she trusts him enough to asks him to go with her to an orgy. And they both share a similar sense of humour, there’s a lot chemistry in their interaction, and until book 9 (which suddenly makes both Sookie and Eric characters rather disagreeable and cold) they both care for each other, saving each other’s lives many times.
E: “I am here.”
S: “And I am here.” I was a little amused at Eric’s phone answering technique.
E: “Sookie, my little bullet-sucker,” he said, sounding fond and warm.
S: “Eric, my big bullshitter.”
Having expressed my liking to Viking, I must admit that I’m not hostile to Bill, both as a book or TV character, I’m just not very fond of him. I used to like him in TBS1, but S2 did much to decrease his appeal. He became a boring character in confrontation with Eric, Jessica or Lorena. He became so sweet that it sounded boring. In books he’s a main hero in book 1 and 2, but later he became more or less sidelined since book 3, he appears now and then to have this sort of a comeback in book 9, but I don’t buy this reverse strategy of CH in this case. But of course she’s the creator of SVM and can do what she pleases with her characters and plots.
Thanks lizzie for the sites I’ll go there. Hey can’t we all just agree to disagree. I see that CH has a alot of gaps in her books. She should have took more time to see the two charaters she was creating. I mean I a big fan of making everything make sense. Now Mary I think the vampire can control what the person who drinks it’s blood sees. I mean sookie didn’t start having sex dreams about bill until they had that fight and let’s face it that was mostly her doing that.
She was having dreams about Bill even before he had her drink his blood. Even though at the time I do think he was just waiting till the ratrays beat her so bad that the only way to save her life was give her his blood. I love the way he looks at her when he tries to kiss her the first time. Very hot!!!! Well any way I think that the show has kept Eric in the dark a little bit so we really don’t know him in the show quite yet, but he’s a dick and he showed that in season two. That’s why he tricked sookie into drinking his blood. He hopes that by making her have sex dreams about him that it will make her question her love for bill and come to him. I believe and hope that bill is in her heart and nothing could ever tare them apart. I am a hopeless romantic deal with it
Telsa I am not sure I understand. You said you do think that Bill waited for the Rattrays to beat Sookie so bad that she had to have his blood to survive. And this is OK with you? But Eric tricking Sookie to suck the bullet is mind rape. WTF! You are not making any sense to me. You like Bill, that’s fine. But you are being a hypocrite-just admit it.
Have you read the books because you are getting books/TB characters mixed up.
Did you find the cemetary scene sexy? On TB it sorta was( to some). But in the books Sookie was afraid that Bill was going to kill her. The trunk scene she was also afraid he was going to kill her. In book 5 he almost broke both her arms in a fit of anger. These are just some of the reasons people don’t like book Bill. Book Bill has some control issues. TB Bill is another story.
LkC,
I don’t think I was being clear. after I first got into the show I found out about bill’s big serect. so I think to get sookie he did wait for the ratrays to beat her up. Now I do think that was wrong, but this was before he started seeing her. You are right though the book bill and TB bill are two differnet people. I haven’t read the books and after much searching and talking I know now I don’t want too. It sounds like book bill is as much of a dick as Eric is.
That’s why I say I love TB Bill he would never hurt sookie. Unless Alan Ball is just setting us up. Wouldn’t that be a hoot. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I know the show so when I talk about Bill I am talking a about TB Bill not Book Bill. He really almost broke her arms, my god! Why did she stay with him?
Telsa she didn’t stay with him, but some think she might get back together with him. I personally don’t think so. I think she will move on to forgiving him and then getting on with her life with him as a friend, not lover.
I guess I still don’t get your logic about Bill and letting her get beat up by the Rattrays. If that is what happened then he gave her a choice of dying or take my blood w/o knowing ALL the ramifications of such. Isn’t that just as sneaky or more so than what Eric did? Just because he loves her now doesn’t mean he didn’t act like a dick, dick, dick( as Jessica would say!)
Don’t give up on the books just because you might not like what Bill did. Many people still like Bill throughout it all. You might also. You might even understand why Eric is so liked. For myself I have now been able to view them as totally separate stories with some similarities.(It took awhile though).
If you read the book and like Bill, ur a idiot. HE RAPED HER!! I was team bill till then, even with the lies and cheating I could forgive him. NOT RAPE!!! If your ok with Rape then good for u, have bill. But I am not. Honestly I am team Quinn, I love eric but quinn seems the best choice for her.
You people sometimes annoy me to no end.
Bill lovers say that Eric is HORRID for giving Sookie his blood, which lead to her enhanced attraction to him… Well I would like to point out a few things:
1. Sookie was wowed by Eric and had attraction to him from the first time she saw him. Obviously the blood isn’t the ONLY reason she likes him. (Book 1)
2. BILL made Sookie drink his blood the very FIRST week they met… yet, no one is all up in arms about that. (Book 1)
3. Eric gave Sookie his blood when she was STAKED and losing too much of her own… the EXACT same reason Bill gave her blood… so I fail to see how that is TRICKING her into sucking his blood. (Book 3)
4. Sookie says in “Dead to the World” that she enjoys Eric’s company, his sense of humor, his attitude, his flare… all the things that people say are “bad” about him, Sookie likes. That’s why she didn’t want to stay with Amnesia Eric, because she missed the real one. So, I fail to see how him losing his memory is the ONLY reason she is with him.
5. Bill LIED, he left her for Lorena, he keeps secrets from her, makes decisions without asking her, keeps her in a box, and is disguistingly jealous. Bill is pretty much scum… and Eric is the only one who actually REALLY loves her, with no other motive… unlike Bill, who had another motive from the very beginning.
Bill fan’s really just need to let up on the “It’s Rigged! Eric fans make this no fun so we quit!” Wah wah wah… seriously. Grow up, kids. It’s just a book, and AB is ruining the series anyway, in the show, with that STUPID proposal… so… you might get your wish. *Shudders*
ERIC NORTHMAN ALL THE WAY! NO CONTEST! <3
