Summer…”comic book nerd” well I guess I’ll have to join da club lol.
By golly now that I have put more thought into it I think u’r right Lestat does have the advantage of not being affected by sunlight and I totally forgot about his gifts. Mmm *scratches chin* they are both ruthless fighters and even though I’m in love/addicted/obsessed with Eric I do think Lestat with his “Gifts” will come out on top.

LMAO Tom Cruise really is “crazy”.

Thanks for commenting about the caps, everyone. I’m having a hard time finding good quality/quantity caps that have a good turnaround time. I was just wondering if it’s worth the trouble of searching for them or not (obviously, it is).

Sean – I don’t think it makes you weird. Maybe just a little freaky and adventurous? :)

Wayne – No kidding about the silicone and manscaping! What kind of small town is Bon Temps?! There were like two average looking people who could pass for samll town folk there. And I would have DIED to see a “POW” when Jason did that flying kick! OMG, priceless.

Chrissie – As much as I want to know rightthisminute why Godric is just wandering around the basement of a church, I have to stay strong and not ask you to tell me. I hope it’s for the reason I think it is.

Celeste – I completely missed it. I think I need to start wearing my glasses more. If a dude can make *crying* hot, you know he’s a sexy bastard on a whole different level of sexy. Because men crying usually isn’t attractive to me. At.all. *shakes fist at Skarsgard for taking his already established Sexy and kicking it up a notch*

Oh, Chrissie! Never ask a comic book nerd “Who would win in a fight … ?”

First, I have to take into account that I haven’t read the Sookie Stackhouse books and I’ve read all of The Vampire Chronicles. I can only assume the strengths and weaknesses the vamps have in “True Blood” are the same in the Sookie books.

If we’re talking about the book versions of the characters, Lestat is the winner by a landslide. He has the “Gifts” of that series after sharing blood with Akasha (the supposed “Queen”), none of the weaknesses that the True Blood vamps have, and the sun can’t kill him anymore. So whether Lestat decided to spontaneously combust Eric from afar, or be more direct by dragging Eric out into the sun by a silver cord, he still wins.

If we’re talking about the film versions, little more tricky (I’ve only seen “Interview” not “Queen” because I couldn’t sit through that movie). Both are very comfortable with the brutality of their nature and have no qualms about using the strengths being a vamp gives them. Both can be pretty cruel. And while Eric would just have to put his hand on the forehead of Cruise’s Lestat and hold him at arms length to let him squirm, I still have to go back to the fact that Rice’s vamps don’t share the same weaknesses as TB vamps (with the exception of sunlight). So, Movie Lestat could very well still win, if he came preapared.

That, and Tom Cruise is crazy.

I agree, Tom Cruise Lestat would lose. But Queen of the damned Lestat would win, because he sucked on that Aaliyah Queen of the Damned super blood, and after that nobody could defeat him. Except maybe Christopher Lee.

OMG, I can’t believe you missed Eric’s blood tear. I actually swooned over it. =)

And yes, keep the screencaps. Try LJ communities hdtv_caps & cap_it. I think they usually have them every week.

If it was the Lestat as played by Tom Cruise, Eric would win hands down. A knock-out 15 seconds into Round One.

Eric is at least 3 feet taller.

Since you mentioned Lestat in you review I’ve got a burning question and I’m kinda curious to know your thoughts:

If Eric and Lestat were to fight or battle who do you think would win?

Fantastic review. I love the screencaps it give the readers a mental picture of what scene you are recapping.
I that it was weird that Sookie didn’t hear Jason’s thoughts but maybe she is just used to blocking the voices out that she didn’t let down her shields.
I’m so happy Lafayette got his pizazz back lol and it feels so good Daphne got what she deserve. Ohhh Andy’s lines was too funny when he crashing into the bar LMAO. Your so right I thought is was just me when I saw Maryann’s feet they really did looked like men’s feet.
Yes!!! I also thought it was Lorena that grab Barry and since I’m a book reader of the series I know why Godric is roaming around the basement but I’m not gonna say cuz I don’t wanna ruin it and besides the way True Blood is going I’m sure they are gonna put a twist on that.

One more thing. As for vamps wanting to kill, if I were a vampire I would do it like Dexter. Kill only the ones who deserve to be killed. There would still be plenty to eat.
