I am loving season 3, have watched upto Ep. 11 and I think this is best season so far. So gory.
I think they are dragging out the bill/sookie storyline as well as Jason/crystal. Tara just irritates me, she only has one face expression for goodness sake.
For anyone who hasn't read the books, they are quite different and in the show there is a few storylines going at once which makes it more interesting IMO as the book are quite short.
I can't wait to watch the final episode. I didn't really 'notice' Eric until this season but wow! 
Try Utorrent if vuze is slow.
