True Blood // Bill Compton + Sookie Stackhouse // Dynasty (HBO)

sigh The journey of Sookie Stackhouse and all her wild adventures is quintessential summer to me. When warm weather struck, the new book in the series and a new season of True Blood on HBO would appear. I have so many memories reading while floating in the pool or tuning into a new episode at 9 pm on Sunday nights with ice cream.

So in a nostalgic mood, I’ve been rewatching some of the show and also reread the first book. I dunno if I’ll reread ALL of them - but revisiting the world of Bon Temps is actually a great way to take my mind off things in this very crazy year.

Also, I realize most people HATE Bill/Sookie. And I did for a LONG time. It wasn’t till book 10 that I started to appreciate Bill in the series and on the show? Season 4 on I had a whole different take on him as well. (Largely because of Stephen Moyer's portrayal and Alan Ball's commitment to creating a more 3-dimensional storyline for Bill.)

Yes I love Eric and think an Eric/Sookie video needs to come next to balance this out. But in the end, I do think Bill loves Sookie much more than Eric did or ever could. That doesn’t mean he was the “best” choice - but, particularly in the books, Bill stood by and loved Sookie from the sidelines while she moved on with her life with a number of other men. He also continued to risk his own life to save hers expecting nothing in return. To me, that’s love.

Whether you love these two or hate them - I hope you'll agree that their rise and fall make them a true dynasty of both the book and HBO series. Enjoy xx

P.S. I must've blacked out the final two seasons of this show as I had no idea what was happening when pulling clips. Jessica and Hoyt got married? LOL. I totally forgot that happened and kind of want to make a video for them now.
