Favorite TV Characters (119 person items)"as Jason Stackhouse
Sookie's older brother. Jason gets around a lot especially in season 1. He sticks his dick in a lot of chicks and gets in trouble for it all the time and when he finds love it backfires in him. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed and is very shallow but his character develops into someone who pursues justice and wants to be a better person. Though I was disappointed when he didn't become a werepanther!"

Favorite TV Characters (103 person items)"as Jason Stackhouse
Jason is one of the most changed characters he went from a sex crazed nuisance to a thoughtful person who has struggled through some of the craziest instances. He also seems to one of the most normal people on the show. "

My Favorite Male TV Show Characters (42 person items)"as Jason Stackhouse (True Blood)
Reasons why Jason is more interesting than Bill: 1- Jason can be with a different girl nearly every season, but, has anyone else noticed how he seemed to have fallen in love with each and every one of them? (the ones that lasted longer than an episode, the girl from season 1, who got him high on V, the one from season 2, the Catholic crazy, the werepanther from season 3, Jess on season 5…) And he’s so sweet… 2 – He can be adorably clueless about things, "
