I have enjoyed seasons 1 & 2 of True Blood. And I have enjoyed the character development and some of the straying-from-the-novel that they've done. Some of the changes in season 3 are understandable - like the development of the Tara and Laff. sides of the story. But I do think that season 3 has gone too far off the mark with the change in Sophie Ann's character and some of the twists in the Sookie story.
However, I'm still watching.
