Well...when you read a book series, one sometimes expects for the movie/tv version to be relatively the same. I'd read the book series that "True Blood" was based upon. After a few episodes, the tv series had little to do with the books. I actually liked many of the changes that HBO made with the series - the writers actually came up with many great ideas. Unfortunately, the show became so silly that I had to stop watching it. Any series can make that same mistake - it shouldn't diverge SO far away from the book - that the show isn't true to the books at any point. But, it's understandable that SOME things have to change in order to adapt a book into tv/movie format. Changes can be made, and the show still remain faithful to the books. This I seen in Harry Potter, Twilight, and other books that have been converted into a different format.
