True Blood: "She's Not There" (open spoilers)

Well, they finally figured out how to make Tara watchable: Drape her with a hot, naked lesbian!

I didn’t mind the cheesy fairy stuff at the beginning because… this show has always been really cheesy and trashy and over-the-top. That’s what I like about it.

Jason asked last year “What else is real? Santa?”

My guess: Mel Brooks will join the cast as Rabbi Golem.

Tara and Bill were both more watchable in this episode than they have been for a long time.

I’ll not spoil anything but I’m glad I managed to get HBOgo working to watch the second episode. There’s a lot of interesting Bill flashbacks.

Yeah, the second episode was available in my cable providers on demand section and I was tempted to start a thread for it here, but if most people haven’t watched it then I might as well wait until next week.

I think the second episode flows a lot better than the first one.

Rewatched it last night, and something occurred to me. The parrot revivifying scene might be a precursor of some vampire (Bill?) trying to get raised from the dead. And it was Lafayette who, upon completing the circle, seemed to be the key ingredient in the process.

I’m sure Lafayette has some latent supernatural power, because, you know, who doesn’t? Apparently everyone in the entire world is a faerie or nazi werewolf or greek god yet somehow the world was totally in the dark about supers until recently.

Sups are like the Illuminati. Even if you found out about them and claimed that they existed, people would stick you in the nut hatch. Look at Lafayette’s mom: some people obviously knew about them, it’s just that those in the know largely suffered a credibility problem.

Got a request to start a new thread for the new episode. It’s here.

Dunno, did they? They did look at her, but I’m not sure that proves that they all read her mind rather than someone did and alerted them. Clearly some of the humans there could read minds and could have reported her thoughts.

And now that I’m caught up on the books, my spoiled hunch has turned out to be correct. the explanation for her and Hunter’s mind reading abilities comes at the end of book eleven, and actually has nothing to do with having fairy blood nor is the ability something they exactly inherited. I can be more specific if anyone wants me to be. It will be interesting to see if the show does anything with that latest revelation.
