(spoiler from last night's episode..)
Bill bites Sookie at the end, but she doesn't become a vamp? So then how does it work in this universe? (When Bill was bitten in his flashback, he simply became a vampire..)

Kult, do you find this show to be campy and overacted at all? I love the concept, but could not watch more than a few episodes.
- I'm in love with Ms. Paquin, but she plays Sookie way over the top, bless her soul..mike_litoris
- campy....a bit....but not as campy as some other vampire shows. it's just fun. At least you get to see all the gore.Jaline
- and the...um...action :)mike_litoris
- Oh, yeah, I know what you mean by Paquin's acting. Needs to be polished. I think part of it is the actual character.Jaline
- yeah, i was thinking that too. maybe she will eventually become a vampire or something and she will be differentvwsung18t
- since there's already a werewolf, maybe she realizes she's a witch or somethingvwsung18t

It's slightly campy but I'm loving it so far.. so far it's exactly as I expected for HBO.
- OhYeah0
Some of my friends where raving on about it but still not watched it, is it worth it? I have to say I do like Anna Paquin (sometimes)

love it.
I didn't watch the episode from last night yet, but I'll comment later.
(I swear there was another thread with a bunch of responses in it, but I can't remember what it was called)
- Someone set me a youtube clip of the opening credits (very cool :)OhYeah
- Yeah, it's very nice. HBO tends to have nice opening sequences.Jaline
- I have the first pilot episode (the one that didn't air), and it's very unpolished. Kinda funny sometimes :)Jaline
- Jaline, you got me all curious, now I have to watch it ;) I think I will like it...OhYeah
- You should :)Jaline

theme track
- I went out and bought the original and remix versions after I heard it on the show. I am a geek....Jaline
- The one you posted is the remix (longer) version.Jaline
- most likely the original version of the song ... shortened for the openingRamanisky2
- The original version just has less drumming and certain parts are only repeated once. I bought it from iTunes, so I'm guessing they have it labelled correctly...Jaline
- they have it labelled correctly. If not, you are right :PJaline

Now that I have watched the episode:
To answer your question, one becomes a vampire once they are bitten and drink the blood of the person who bit them. And a significant amount of blood has to be taken. It's done fast (I think part of this is an excuse for TV shows to not waste air time and pretend like vampires drink all of the blood extremely quickly), but it's somewhere in-between draining all of the blood (after which a person would die) and just taking a few gulps (usually done during sex or whatever else fun activities one would be interested in).

Exactly Jaline. Remember in the 1st or 2ne episode when Stackhouse had sex with that girl who slept with a vampire, and she had fang scars on her thigh? Proves you can get bit and not become a vampire. They made it pretty clear you have to drink blood to become a vampire. I think Sookie will eventually turn though. You know she wants it.

she'll want revenge against those who killed her grandmother ... vampire sook is on the way

this is the worst thing alan ball has ever done.
that being said it's still better than a lot of things.
the intro is sexy as fuck.
