Last week, Sci Fi Wire’s interview with Alan Ball resulted in 9 season 3 spoilers. Kathie Huddleston conducted that interview and has posted some of the questions she asked Alan on her site. Below is an excerpt:
KATHIE: What is your best hope for Sookie and her story?
ALAN: You mean where is she going to end up?
KATHIE: Yes, what is your best hope for her?
ALAN: My hope, and this is probably a little crazy cause I’m speaking about a fictional character as if she’s real… she finds happiness and is able to settle down with a person or non-human person who can really, really value her and that she can have a good life with.
KATHIE: At the very end.
ALAN: Yes at the very end. I mean, in a way, it’s kind of a fairytale… kind of a sadistic, twisted fairytale… but it is a little bit of a romance novel. I would want her and those people that she loves to be in a good place and still alive [laughs].
KATHIE: I like it when writers spend time letting the characters be happy on a series. You’ve done some of that on True Blood.
ALAN: Yes. I think we have that. We definitely had that in season two and we definitely have that in season three. Maybe not for every single character, but I think [most have] moments of happiness.
Read it all at Kathie’s.
Yeah, he let Bill and Sookie be happy for what, two days? Oh wait, they had the two weeks that we didn’t get to see on the show. I guess that’s supposed to count. Whatever.
I think the same thing.
grrrr.
but we must take into account the time they spent in Dallas.
two days?? lol!
Good Interview!
It has to be a sadistic, twisted fairytale or it would be extremely boring. The twists and turns are what intrigues me.
I tend to agree, Dana H. Every romance needs its trials, eh?
It’s Bill that intrigues me and when Sookies not with Bill I don’t see much point to her character. Sorry!
AB still is not telling us much – tight lipped and teasing! I’m with you , aem!
