Lafayette Makes Me Want
August 31, 2009
It’s been a nice, long life-time that I’ve waited to see a black queen on TV portrayed as confident, fierce, fey-but-will-still-beat-your-ass central character. Sure, he’s had a pretty damn rough summer, and there have been no love interests for him yet, but Lafayette from True Blood is as real as cable television can hope to be. Also, his relationship with cousin Tara repeatedly warms the heart. As a fan of soaps, True Blood is taking my bloody cake right now, here’s some props out for the internets.

………….Oh yeah, and then there’s Eric.
I agree Lafayette is a great character, let’s just hope that his place in the Sookie Stackhouse universe continues to differ from Book to television. In the book series he’s dead at the beginning of the second novel.
