I just finally got caught up with True Blood and all the episodes I missed. I am glad to see that they are starting to show different sides of the characters. I really am enjoying Layfayette now that they have toned his mannerisms and saved them for when he is merely acting out, playing a part. He is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters. Tara's background being explained helped a lot towards the character but I would like to see a black character that comes from a stable and loving home. Alan Ball did that on Six Feet Under too.
