LJ Idol Presents:

True Blood is the first thing I think of whenever someone mentions bad adaptations of books. What HBO did to that series is inexcusable, IMO.

I can deal with the screwing up of plot lines, but when you change the essential makeup of the characters, that's just wrong (and one of the biggest problems I have with most fanfic).

It was early on, but the biggest reason I decided to stop watching True Blood was what they did to Sam's family. Sam's mom is one of my favorite barely-mentioned characters in the series, and Sam is probably my favorite character in the series. The season they gave him a trailer trash dog-fighting family background my head exploded.
