The following exchange needs to take place next week to make me a happy camper:
Eric: I must kill the king
Sookie: Eric, maybe the problems of two people don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world…but this is our hill and these are our beans.
Then Antonia/Marnie will plummet from the top of whatever building they’re in, then the steamroller…cue “Louis, Louis”, and then end of season.
How would a probably religious, uneducated servant woman, living in the wilds of Louisiana in the 1920’s or 30’s NOT be homophobic?
What made me cringe and laugh (but mostly cringe)was the testimonial at the big tolerance-fest, the girl proudly introducing her vampire sister. Who after revealing she was now a vampire, melted her familys hearts by asking, “could I just come and visit and watch you all eat dinner”? :rolleyes: Sure, honey, we’ll get you a bottle of True Blood. See you after sunset! I don’t think I’ve yet seen any human families with a vampire member. Talk about awkward.
Oh, I know, I just thought it was funny. The way she cringed as if to say "You’re dating a man? :eek: " Until the second part, I didn’t grasp that she was just realizing that her medium was male.
Didn’t Jessica go back to her real family during one episode. I thought Sookie took her back, just to drive past the house and Jessica took off and rang the doorbell so she could see them again. I don’t remember the exact details though.
Yes. Bill had to glamor them all to make them forget it.
I just dropped by to say that this whole season is the biggest jump over the biggest shark ever… or maybe it’s just a succession of sharks, week after week, being jumped in ever more elaborate, stupid, pointless, uninteresting, badly acted ways.
BTW, how many fream sequences have there been this year?
Dour or dive at least.
Yes. Not the best episode ever, but fun.
Alcide’s naked butt was amazing. I plan on using the on demand feature that comes with my HBO to watch that scene over and over until my eyes are sore.
Bill telling Nan what’s what and the look on Jessica’s face when he did it was great. I’m starting to like Bill again.
Jason is a scream when he interacts with Andy.
For once, I didn’t want to stake Tara. She did good and played it smart. I wish she would have not gone back with Marnie/Antonia and instead gone to Bill and Pam to get help, but other than that, she did ok.
No Pam. 
I love Pam.
The doll was in the scene last year when Hoyt and Jessica’s got the house. The ghost mom lived in that house with her baby years before, and when she came home with the doll for the baby, she found out her lover had murdered their baby right before he murdered her. She kept bringing the doll back to the house every time Hoyt and Jessica got rid of it, until Jessica gave it to the baby. Then she stayed around the baby.
And Debbie whipping out the bouquet was also funny. I still haven’t made up my mind if she is planning something bad for Sookie or if she just feels that having Sookie as a friend will give her the scoop on what is going on with Alcide. Her watching Cheaters was very funny.
I’m not sure on that either. On the one hand, Sookie read her thoughts and believed her. OTOH, she immediately mentioned Sookie’s power* so it’s possible she was thinking that on purpose knowing what Sookie was doing.
*It seems to me, that she mentioned it to remind us, the audience, that she’s aware of Sookie’s power. They also did the same thing with Tara talking to Sookie telepathically. They practically slapped us in the face trying to let us know that other people are very aware the Sookie can read their thoughts. This makes me think that Debbie is probably still up to something. Also, she’s been going well out of her way to make nice with Sookie, they’ve devoted A LOT of time this season to making sure we know how hard she’s trying to be friends with her again. If they’re not going somewhere with that, she would have apologized when they first bumped into each other at Alcide’s house and that would have been the end of it. Friends again, move on with the story…the writers are up to something with this. Whether Debbie is luring her in purposely (keep your enemies closer) or they’re going for some sort of big betrayal, I’m not sure.
Yeah it doesn’t really make sense. Why did the baby’s eyes get all evil pupiled? What was with the baby starting the house fire? “Ghost thinks baby in her house is hers” doesn’t explain any of that.
And the way it went down was just… we have a hostage situation in which a person takes a shot at a cop, and then they just walk outside and decide oh hey let’s all go dig up a grave. Not even a scene in which anyone is explaining anything, just cut right to it, like it’s the most natural transition in the world. Which, I guess, given how silly this world is, it sort of makes sense. You just tell someone “oh it’s cool, he’s possessed by some chick that wants to find her baby” and the cops might as well say “well that’s more plausible than half the things that have happened here in the last year, so what the hell, let’s forget the whole shooting at a cop thing”
On the plus side, Lafayette, upon getting his body back, and having ghost woman thank him, says “you’re welcome bitch”
What was the whole Debbie thing about? If she legitimately wanted to talk to Sookie and make peace, why did she take an overdose of V? Was she trying to somehow use the vampire power to override sookie’s mind reading? Was it her plan all along to get Sookie killed by Antonia? That whole thing was unclear.
I’m not buying Antonia is a villain btw. I don’t mean I can’t accept the character, I mean she’s the hero of the story. Vampires are fucking predators towards humans. A few of them are good and try to live cleanly but we’ve seen how much hatred and abuse and crime against humanity they commit. Any reasonable person should wish for their extermination as a self defense measure. The problem is that they’re so powerful that we can’t really beat them, so then out of necesity we may need to try to live with them.
But then Antonia comes around, with a very legitimate beef with vampires, with the power to harm them - and she’s the bad guy? In a real story, she’d be humanity’s best hope.
The answer to both parts of that question is “because he’s really quite stupid.”
I get what you’re saying, and agree. Antonia was tortured and killed at the hands of vampires, and we’ve seen so much other vampire brutality that it’s not bard to side with her.
What else bothered me this season was how Eric killed Sookie’s ‘fairy godmother’ right in front of her, and it didn’t seem to bother her. What kind of person witnesses the brutal murder of a thinking, self-aware being (a being that had protected, and was actively trying to protect, Sookie) and is OK with it? Hell, that scene was played somewhat for laughs, as Eric utters a sheepish, “Sorry”, afterwards. Let’s not forget that Sookie herself tastes nearly as delicious as the being Eric killed, so she has more than one reason to be, well, decidedly NOT OK with it.
Tara is just about the sanest person on the show…and she ain’t all there either.
Except she went from all for wiping out the vampires to suddenly losing faith in Antonia because she wasn’t willing to try to make peace with them, which makes no sense. Except that the writers decided they wanted her to change allegiances, so her character suddenly and inexplicably does a complete about face.
I thought Debbie was getting the vampire blood to go beat the shit out of Sookie. Is she now just using it to be strong enough to be the ‘better woman’ - support Sookie to keep Alcide?
Getting sick of Antonia, she’s grown into a caricature of revenge.
I want outtakes/set reactions for Sookie’s dream scene. I just wanted to know what the hell the three of them thought about that. I mean, I know people on set can easily not talk to one another, but I figure Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer have an opinion about it, lol.
So that entire group is going to back to Andy and tell him it’s okay, they don’t need to press charges, Lafayette was possessed by a ghost? And he’s going to buy that shit? Maybe Jason will blackmail him knowing of his V habit.
I like Bill better without Sookie because his plot does not revolve around her now!
It still sorta does though. If he had let his feelings for Sookie get in the way, Eric would have received the true death and therefore wouldn’t be mixed up with Anotonia and they wouldn’t have had the power to overtake the convention.
Sookie is still very much messing with everything Bill does, only now instead of doing it directly, she’s doing through Eric.
I liked this episode. The comic relief stuff was amusing, and they kept from too much plot jumping (well, relative to past episodes, anyways). And seemed to have wrapped up the possessed baby plot.
Hot doorknobs? What’s next, short sheeting and “KICK ME” signs?
