Finally: A Little Lafayette

For those of you skanks who have not finished season 1 of True Blood yet, might want to skip right off of this post, because I might drop a spoiler or two. And my inbox has met its daily quota for "Damn you motherfucker" e-mails. Save it for tomorrow.

All the promo shit I've seen for the second season of True Blood has been missing a very important bitch: LAFAYETTE! Yes, I already know that Lafayette is de-de-de-dead. Some dumb ho who read the series already told my ass that he gets killed off in book two. I still don't want to believe it's true! There has to be a way for Lafayette to return! Can't they make his ass a bitchy zombie? This cannot be the end for Lafayette!!!! Oh well. It was nice to see pictures of his ass at the premiere last night even though he was dressed like the "cool" substitute English teacher in high school.

Here's a few more pictures from last night. They are in order (by character name): LAFAYETTE, a tall glass of Swedish milk, Jason Stackhouse, Vampire Bill, Sookie GAPhouse, Tara, Maryann, Rene and the cast.

WHO ORDERED THE HAMBURGER WITH AIDS?

I started reading the books after I watched the season and am on book 7...I looove them and I looove the tv version. The series is taking a lot of freedom from the book's storyline so I got a funny little feeling that Lafayette is still alive.
HE IS TOO FUCKING HOT HOT HOT SHIT TO FUCKING DIIIIE!! I saw the interview where Alan Ball made the comment that everyone who has read the books knows that Lafayette dies and to me that CONFIRMS that Lafayette will live the fuck on in the TV show. He would not have made a comment like that to spoil season 2 for those who have not read the books (even though it's common knowledge now I guess). Lafayette is one of the most interesting characters EVEEER created and the actor who plays him is the star of that damn show.

Bon Temps is just not the same without Lafayette. Losing Rene was bad enough now this? I'm over it.

he is truly the hottest bitch on the show!

and i would let that tall glass of swedish milk eric bite me anytime.

"bring it on hooker!!!" (one of my favorite quotes from lafayette)

WTFOMGLOL's picture

This series is GOD @#$@# AWFUL!!
God, where do I start ? the writing - lame, sucks, hate Anna P's portrayal of Sookie (that accent makes my ears bleed), hate Bill (whining & morose - not hot. Kill him off already and put him out of his misery.. Lafayette is okay, one of the better characters. But Eric is the ONLY one who makes this show worth watching. If they kill him off, it's all over.

My apologies to those those folks who think this show is the shit. I couldn't agree less.

...damn and the fact that he's such an idiot is even more tantalizing, you can get him to do whatever.

GREAT POINT!

I got my boyfriend hooked on it. I told him it is starting soon, I WILL be watching that shit multiple times, so he may as well get to know what is going on. :)

I wish they didn't kill him off. :("

I watched the "True Blood" highlight show with Alan Ball and his face looked sad when he said Lafayette was dead. Sad News Bears! He rocks.

Why does 'Jason's' hair look like a 70's porn star? Yuck. They all look a little gross, though--except fake-Cajun dude and Bill look pretty much the same.

I kept thinking I wanted to watch this show but I only finally saw it when tuning in to the last two days of last week's marathon. Pretty great--I would say I wish someone had made me watch it earlier, but then I would have just been annoyed about having to wait so long. It made me want to read the books even though I wouldn't want to do it before seeing corresponding episodes.

Did someone knock RL Stine? Back in junior high I was seriously addicted to his Fear Street series. Good stuff.

------------------------------------------
I love you for bringing that up. I looooved R L Stine books...they scared the shit outta me, but I still read them, in the day time ONLY. I still have those books and the art on the cover was always mind blowing for me, I would stare at them and find some interesting details. Like the skeleton family picnic, the little skeleton dog with the bone...oh memories.

I hope that's the case! Lafayette did die in the beginning of book 2, but Alan Ball has already veered away from the books in soooo many ways. If he knows what's good for him, he'll have kept Lafayette around!

********************************************************************

You are right, Alan Ball has changed alot from the book. I don't even know if Lafayette was African American in the books (I know Tara was white).

I hope that the fan outcry made Ball change his mind and keep Lafayette. Really, Nelsen Ellis (Lafayette) makes the show! *l*

i picked up this show half way through the 1st season and thought it was great.

snowpiece... My bestie absolutely loves it and her picks are usually pretty golden, but it was always bordering on ludicrous to me. Lafayette definitely made it worth watching, and once I heard he was gone, I was like fuggit! Let's both try to watch it again and reconvene and share our thoughts.

Snowy, yes, do try watching again! I love this show, but I'll be the first to admit that things were a little slow during the first part of the season. Once you get to episode 5, however, the action picks up. You'll be hooked :)

Oh how I love the TB and AS (tall glass of swedish milk). The books are quite awesome and you really should give them a try!

It does suck Lafayette is gone, but the new season is finally here!!!

It's all about the TB/AS/EN!

Mmmmm, Alexander Skarsgard, the things I would do to you...

I'm convinced that Lafayette is either not dead or has been made into a vampire. If he IS dead and won't be on the show as much, I will be seriously crushed. I LOVE LAFAYETTE!

Yes, the show is instantly addictive.

The writers need to make him like Laura Palmer where he gets lots of flashbacks or a twin blows into town.

Who killed Lafayette? A ravenous, blind-with-bloodlust Bill? Bill's new "daughter"? Vamps settling the score for dumb motherfucker Ryan's and his accomplice whore's murder of Laf's vampire john? Laf's closet case politician/client?

I can't take not knowing.

snowpiece - I had a hard time with it too. I don't think I even finished it. I tried to read the book too, and same thing, couldn't finish it.

Tara's body is off da chain tho.

Lafayette better live or I'm going to go after Alan Ball.

Lafa is the only gay, black guy on TV that is actually interesting! (Tyler Perry doesn't count) so I don't know why Ball, an opening gay man himself, would kill off the one of the only gay characters on TV!

There better be a chance from the book dammit!
Lafayette RULES!!!

I refuse to believe that they will do away with Lafayette entirely. Especially since they set up that storyline with the senator where he goes and threatens to expose him at that conference. Why start that storyline then just drop it?
Who cares if he is "dead" as long as he is on the show!

Sadly, I have not seen this show (Get Off Your Ass Netflix!!!). Does it live up to the hype? I dig vampires but not talentless and boring Twilighty vampires.

There was an HBO special recently where Allan Ball alluded to the fact that in the book Lafayette dies, but that the show is different from the book. Do with it what you will. Hopefully they realize that he was as popular as he was and do something with his fine ass.
