@girl_talk: Yeah I hate to be all "let me tell you what your real sexuality is", but seriously, no guy that pretty is ever straight. At least it seems that way.

@Captain_Tripps: Hell Franklin probably thought the brain bashing was all sorts of kinky. That boy ain't right.

@bookling: In the books it gets into these marriages between the royalty -kings to queens, kings to kings, queens to queens, et. al and basically it's just a way to form alliances.

@hypochondriac: I thought it was great. Honestly I was surprised it was aimed at kids.

If anyone saw James Frain play this stuffy old bishop in The Tudors, you have to marvel at what he's doing with Franklin. I never would have known he had it in him.

@wedropscience: I guess I really don't see that virtually every single female in the series is helpless and waiting to be rescued by the (overwhelmingly white) vampires. Pam doesn't seem helpless, nor does the Queen of Louisiana or the Maenad from last season. Sookie can protect herself, she just doesn't know it…

@mordicai: Why can't 4chan harass WBC instead of bratty little 11 year olds? Seriously put that evil to some good.

@sensitivitycop: I think he just seems like an eccentric guy that's more interested in doing the things he's interested in doing rather than just taking the acting jobs he "should take" to climb the ladder to be a superstar A-lister.

@LadySoprano is a Fat-Fighting Superwoman: Yes a great jawline on a man can make me want to reach out and trace it with my fingertip.

I've said it before but I'll say it again, I wish there was a gawker subsite dedicated just to books.

@lacey in ak: Yeah I really liked some of his earlier books but then it just seemed like the later ones got longer and longer. It was almost a marathon to finish them.

@footnotegirl: Yeah somewhere along the line Anne Rice got it into her head she didn't need an editor and it kind of went downhill from there. I am getting around to finishing up her vampire series now (yes years later) and it seems like these are better than those middle years books. I realize I do still love how…

@Jack B. Quick (jbq): I read on the hbo.com forums that the actress that plays Pay doesn't trust Alexander Skarsgård to give her the correct phonetic translations. She always thinks he's going to have her saying something stupid.

@The HZA.: I was thinking tonight when I rewatched the episode that he has dropped a lot of the turn-of-the-century mannerisms in his speech. And he's definitely swearing a lot more.

So is it just me or is Bill looking hotter since he took up residence at the King's place? Maybe all that real blood does a body good.

@Tracy Ham and Eggs: Don't a lot of Muslims have issues with sorcery? I'm thinking they may not be checking out the HP stories very much.

I did think the dirtbag report on Jez was one of the best I've read in a long time. Just the right amount of ennui.

I have a harder time believing he made up the retard baby statement that I do believing she said it.

@MelishTheDish: Good call.
