LOL Namo. You're funny. (Even though you're a republican.)
As for the Hotshot/werepanther stuff, the plot is similar in the books, actually, but Jason doesn't get turned (by all that biting, that was original source material, btw) til later, if I recall correctly. I'm sad that they're pulling that so soon on the show. In the books it was at least sort of campy, but the show is making them all non-sympathetic in that town. Even Crystal's father in the book was a sweet ol' werepanther man, and they made him a vengeful dickhead who got his head shot off, last season. She seemed, last season, like the best thing that could have ever happened to Jason, and now she's suddenly a wack-job. (I blame Felton and the V, though. I wonder if they'll have a scene in the 2nd half of the season where she comes to, and realizes all her craziness and how she's hurting Jason.)
Alexander Skarsgard was adorable before, and I had heard teasers about his fantastic transformation into "amnesia Eric" this season (season 4, book 4). He's awesome. And hot. And I don't normally go for ripped blonde guys. Or blonde guys. Wait til what's coming next.
I'm about the "King Bill" storyline. I think they kinda needed some counterpoint to Eric, since Eric isn't able to be the powerful asshole this season. It also shows that Bill, while we loved their S. 1. romance, isn't the saint he first appeared to be. He lies easily, you notice, and...the "true death" sentence for that vamp who got videotaped? A bit extreme, even for him. He's got so many axes to grind and is always trying to prove himself, but I guess found a way to succeed politically, to maintain some sense of self-worth, these days.
I don't want to post a spoiler, but it shouldn't really be, if your memories are good: Did anyone find it gross that Bill and Portia hooked up? It was hinted in S. 1. I'm surprised they pulled that, as Bill should know who she is. Andy's gonna flip when he finds out that twist in the story... :)
"There is no use trying," said Alice; "one can't believe impossible things." "I dare say you haven't had the practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." --Alice in Wonderland
