Lori, I believe that Tara was too far gone to be healed by Pam’s blood – too much blood loss of her own. When a vampire turns someone (at least according to the rules of True Blood universe), the victim has to have lost a lot of their own blood then consume a lot of the vampire blood and then spoon with their soon-to-be maker underground.

I’ll assume that Pam first attempted to heal Tara before turning her, and that it all happened off-camera. I agree that the whole healing-vs-turning should have been explained a bit better in the episode.

I read the whole series this winter really good books. In the books Eric’s maker is someone else not Godric and yes Eric did have a sexual relation with him. A new book just came out in May I bought it but haven’t had a chance to read it all yet.

Maybe I missed it, but didn’t Pam have Tara drink her blood, which would have healed her, not turned her ?

I forgot to mention that I loved Pam’ comment about the cheap Wal-Mart sweat suit. Nobody would look good in that outfit!

I read the first book when the show first started. I am a much bigger fan of the show.

I have friends who have read them all and tell me lol. We own the first 7. I bought them for my partner one year, but have yet to read them. Maybe I’ll do that this summer.

I’ve just finished the 7th book and the show now has very little in common with the books. It’s like an alternate universe. As for Tara, going by the book, if a person is to damaged or has too little spark of life left they will either be made wrong or fail to be made. In the book, it is Elvis aka Bubba, who was made wrong.

In the books, all vampires made by the same maker refer to each other as siblings regardless of age or years between making. Pam is Eric’s child. All makers tend to have sexual relationships with their children – so Eric had sex with Godric his maker in the show but not in the books.

If you haven’t read the books, you should. The are a fun easy read but so very different that you can still enjoy them. The best way to classify these books, usually about 350 pages, is that they are women’s trashy romance novels. All the men want Sookie, all have bigger members then the next, and all fall in love with her. As an example, Jason met Steve because he never went to the camp, and Jesus’ was never a character bc Lafayette was killed in the first book.

I’m so happy True Blood is back! My only complaint though is that I doubt Sookie (as written the past 4 seasons) would ever agree to have Tara turned – she knew Tara hated vampires with a passion. I know we are supposed to believe that Sookie was overcome with grief, but still (and she’s no stranger to grief – she would never have had her grandmother turned). Then again, Sookie can be a bit selfish at times.

Good catch on Pam’s comment about having done it (the making of a vampire) before. I don’t think she would have been the one to turn Steve Newell as I doubt she could put up with him, but who knows.

I also wondered how Eric got over Sookie so quickly – I guess he’s not normally rejected. I don’t consider Eric and Nora siblings, but it was kind of gross how they kept calling each other brother and sister. I think she may have been in on the plot to capture them at the end – she wasn’t killed. Maybe she blames Eric for Godrich’s death.

Poor Alcide. If Sookie doesn’t want him he can stay at my place.
