I agree, I expected someone more like JS; I think maybe I just don't like the weird faces Paquin makes when she's butchering that southern accent she puts on.
I don't know, I thought the books followed much better story lines. I confess myself a little disappointed that the show doesn't follow the books a bit more--there are so many great opportunities for good scenes that they have completely bypassed to follow maenad story (which has really gotten a bit silly--I mean, come on! What's with the giant egg?) I understand that they are trying to strech the season, but I could've done with about 8 less episodes with Maryann.
Also disappointed at how flaky they've made the queen. I like her better in the books, where she's intelligent and composed. Yahtzee? Really? :roll:
