I don't get it either. I just don't understand why it's 'acceptable' to show gay characters/couples, but why it's apparently still some big taboo to have them kiss/make up/have wild sex like het couples (or lesbians, for that matter - right, I forgot, that's hot and gay men are gross). [insert usual annoying bitching]
I actually like Sookie. And I don't say that about many female characters. I actually think they're doing pretty well in the show: sure, Sookie is the main character, but they're giving quite a bit of attention to all these wonderfully fucked-up side characters (Lafayette, Terry, Jessica etc.).
I was so surprised that Lafayette is getting a boyfriend. Apparently it was announced before the beginning of the season, but I hadn't known. So I was just squealing hysterically throughout their scenes. ;)
I suppose I just feel sorry for Alcide because of his shitty ex-girlfriend. And since, so far, there is no guy I could pair him up with, Sookie is right now the only person around who could make him a bit happier. And he looks like he needs some cheering up.
