Couldn’t wait to see Alcide. I read the books. I pictured him much more pumped-up and muscular than that. But he’s a hottie!!!!!!! Good choice.
I think this is a great fit for Alcide!!!! Joe is sexy, deep, and plays moody Alcide very well.
WOW!! He is yummy!! I was hoping for more Eric/Sookie action, but I sure wouldn’t mind seeing her and this hottie together for a bit….*swoons* (Especially since Eric will have another lover this season…booo!)

i wouldnt mind seeing sookie with sam a bit more! lol
I dont think he’s a good fit for alcide! he’s def not whats described in the book.. i think joseph reitman (was married to shannon elizabeth) wouldve been a better match, except that he’s not that tall! oh well cant wait to see season 3!
