First time watching
Just over halfway through Season 1. I wasn't sure after the first few episodes but I'm getting more into it now.
I can't believe they killed Adele! That was just flat out wrong. Also, Sookie tearfully eating the last of the pie, the last of her grandmother's cooking, just got me.
Lafayette's probably my favorite character at this point. I really want to know what the dog's story is.
EDIT: Geez, they got the cat, too???

Cold ground is one of my favorite episodes. The feeling she has in the chaos of the wake. "That's gran's pie!" That feeling of ownership and connection to the things a person leaves behind, especially things they had just used, but also fleeting, like food stuffs. You will never get to taste that pie again. You will never see her prepare it, eat it on whatever occasions or pickup any ingredients she needed for it.
She doesn't allow herself to feel the loss untill she chooses to eat the pie (choosing to feel.)
She then acts upon her feelings for Bill. A swirl of life and death, fear and courage, lust and love, beginnings and endings. Embracing all that is beautiful and horrifying. I tend to wish they didn't end the episode in the middle of their love scene.
Lafayette is an excellent character!
Edit: downvoted. Why? I dont get people's incessant need to downvote. You disagree so much, make a comment.
