You threw Sam over for JASON?? How dare you?!

Yeah, Sam is cool. I feel safe liking him now that we know for sure he's not the killer. Plus, there's something very sweet about the fact that he's so protective of Sookie.

I like Sam , he is cute and he is adorable, he protects Sookie, he helps Tara, he pulled that wedding party for Rene and Arlene. The guy is great!
I was a bit worried when I thought he could be the killer, so I was very glad to find out that he is "only" a nice doggie.
I really want things to work out between him and Tara, but this relationship is a tricky one, Tara is a screw up, she needs serious help.
I was thinking, when Bill left for the trial, he asked Sam to watch over Sookie and added that he was the only one who he could trust or do it, something like this. I wonder if Bill already knew about Sam's little secret.

I think I want Sam and Sookie... THINK being the key word here.

I like Sam too. My big beef with him though is that he's sleeping with Tara!! He OBVIOUSLY is in love with Sookie. You don't go and sleep with the best friend of the girl you *really* want!! What is he going to expect to happen? Sookie finally falls for him and he thinks she won't find out? You KNOW she would find out that he was sleeping with Tara!!

If i could ever find myself liking sookie enough to care who she hooks up with, then i would too. I do prefer her with him, she is a bit nicer. She was pretty cool for the first half of the last epi when she was with Sam.

Sam is adorable! I'm not fond of his physical relationship with Tara, but everything else about this character hits the right vibes with me!
