SORRY! Just realized I had the episode numbered incorrectly.


Good show. Still on the slow side, but picking up speed.

I love how Maryanne is starting to unravel. Her insanity is getting harder and harder to conceal.

Jason He's a good brother. He didn't seem to put it together though that the FOS knows his sister. Nor does he get it that they have her held hostage in the basement.

I love the backstory on Bill and Lorena, but would love to see less of it in exchange for some more action.

Lafayette...Good grief that hookah is beautiful!

And Eric. "Don't look at me that way." Or was it "like that"?

Poor Daphne :gutted:

I'm glad Daphne bit it! I'm wondering what's going to happen to Sam and Jason - they're both being hunted! Also, it's not looking too good for Eric - he was chained up in the church during the previews for next week!

Too bad about Daphne that bitch's body was BANGIN'!!!

I knew Hugo was in on that shit and his bitchassness was really annoying: "Boo-hoo she won't change me, waaaa waaaaa waaaaa!" Kill him already.

Who grabbed the bellboy???

Hoyt and Jessica are too cute.

Sookie's dumb ass strikes AGAIN. Is she incapable of reading people's minds and just keeping that shit to herself ESPECIALLY when her ass is in danger??? Dumb hussy.

Best line in the whole episode was when Hoyt said "I never done it...with a girl." and Jessica was like :pause: "What have you done it with?"




That era (backstory) really suits Lorena. That green dress!

I love Hoyt and Jessica! I hope she doesn't freak out and try to eat him when they have sex

Sundays come and I LIIIVE.

We saw penis in this episode

Good for Sam, he's found his alt. shapeshift thingy

I don't think I can love Maryanne anymore if she's workin' for the devil


Lafayette seems to have got his hustle back is he a drag queen in the book(s)?

"show me how you scream for that big fat vampire cock" god yes! rape isn't cool but corny sexual lines like that kill me!

Mary Anne-Someone needs to get rid of her, but apparently she's immortal

LaFayatte-As soon as he saw Eggs he was ready to play him, but Tara said , " No you don't Bitch! "

Jessica-I think she's gonna come to a tragic end for some reason. She's still a little immature and hasn't let go of her Human side.

Andy-Poor Andy. He knows what's going on with the Townsfolk and MaryAnne, but the Sheriff continues not to believe him. I wonder why MaryAnne hasn't done harm to him yet.

Looks like the Vampire/Human showdown may start on the next episode

In the books he's gay and flamboyant, but a bit needy. He's a minor character in the books and is the dead body in the car at the beginning of book two.

Nothinbutjoy said:

oh, well I'm glad they kept him around, for atleast a little while longer

matthewgrant said:

He's actually one of the main reasons I started reading the books. I loved him on the show. I was to find him such a minor character and I 'd when I found he was killed off in book two.

What's great is that whatever he's up to on the show is a total surprise because he's not in the books

matthewgrant said:

We did?

Enjoyed the episode but was rather disappointed with hugo being the turncoat. I think its rather lame writing when you introduce a character in one episode n then make him the baddie in the next. Can Sam only change when he's naked? cause I'm cool with that.

N They better not to bad things with Barry the Bellhop.

CalhounSq said:

when the orgy was clearing out at the begining. some random couple were moving to the right of the screen(stage left if you will) and I totally saw full frontal male.

- I loved Lafayette this week! His come-on to Eggs was great!

- Sookie annoys me. Always has. I agree with SCNDLS: sometimes!

- Jason was pretty funny with his reaction to (can't think of her name)'s sudden declarations of love. He was like, "okaaaaay...."

- I thought the scenes with Bill and Lorena got long. We get it: He doesn't want her!

- I think Tara's going to gain complete "clarity" next week.

- Oh, and, I think Eric grabbed Barry the Bellhop when he heard about Sookie.

Did anyone check out those man-sized feet of Maryanne's?!

matthewgrant said:

ah, so it was just random penis then. I thought I missed something really good

chocolate1 said:

Sarah...and yep! Jason had me He's trying to be good, but not really succeeding!!



I don't know that it was Eric that grabbed "Barry the Bellboy" because he had zipped past Barry right before...but it could be.


I totally noticed Maryanne's feet!!! At first I thought it was Carl!!!

chocolate1 said:

To me it looked like Eric took off for the Church at Vampire speed as soon as he heard where Sookie was being held. Maybe it was Jessica?

SilverlakePhil said:

I'm thinking it's someone else altogether.

Nothinbutjoy said:

That's true!

I loved this episode! The show is picking up speed and I'm hooked.

I really enjoy the Bill/Lorena flashbacks. That era is so much fun and gives them so much to play around with, and she looks like she was born to live in it (don't so much like her modern-day, poor-man's-Jeanne Tripplehorn looks). She's a fun badass, and I'm enjoying that.

I don't understand why Jessica and Bill aren't in contact at all. Aren't they in adjoining rooms? And would she be powerless against her maker's maker anyway? (Jessica would probably be pretty useless no matter what, but I'm still interested in the answer just because.)

My favorite line of the show was Jessica's: "Just don't freak out if I look a little...dead."

And Hoyt is sweet. And hot. And possibly bi-curious? Or did I misunderstand that?

I also loved seeing Maryann run while chasing Sam. Being immortal and nearly all-powerful certainly does not make her swift. Or graceful.

I wonder who Maryann's foot double was? Cuz those are some big-man feet and calves.

Best episode of the season so far, imo.

Efan said:

The only guess I'd venture on that is #1 It doesn't serve Alan Ball's purpose to get her involved at this time...He's making her only focused on her own storyline which #2 makes a little sense as when a vampire is a new, they are made out to be not the best vampires...a little slow on the uptake vampire-wise, so maybe she just doesn't hear what's going on.

I LOL @ that Jessica line! It was great!

Hoyt is totally a cutie pie! A kinda bi-angle was thrown out there but they clarified that he'd not had sex with a girl, "just with himself", which also had me LOL.

Oh, and Sam turned into an owl! How cool is that!

Except for the flashbacks, which take too much time , I really enjoyed this episode!

I love this show

I'm half way through the second book and it's sooooo not anything like the show. They both have their good points. Some of the scenes in the book are much richer.

Love love love Jessica and Hoyt.Adoreable!

Good lawd! Them eyebrows on Lorena.....


I went Eric and what's his name to kiss when they see each other again. Did you all see that tear running down Eric's face?

I'M SOOOOO GLAD THEY CRY BLOOD! Everyone else has it wrong.

This episode was great!

Like Chocolate1 said, I think that Tara's going to piece everything together very, very soon. I hate to think what'll happen when she finds out that "Eggs" is killer. Maryanne gets scarier with each passing episode. Those were definitely "man-feet" in that entry scene.

Why, indeed, is Bill completely ignoring Jessica all this time? Isn't this when she's most vulnerable? If she accidentally kills Hoyt (in the throws of passion) she will completely come undone.

...and where exactly did Gothrige (Goethrigg? Gothriegg?) come from at the end? Why didn't he show up sooner? Was he a willing captive? Could it possibly be HIS idea to start this war?

Sunday can't get here soon enough.

*In the book* Godric (also known as Godfrey) is an ancient vampire, so ancient that his origins are unknown. Throughout the millenium he was a monster, raping and feeding off young children. He despised himself and went to the FOS willingly to participate in a "Meet the Sun" ceremony, which is the vampire form of suicide.

*ITB* Godric is not king or sheriff or anything of Texas. Stan (he dresses like a geek) is the sheriff of the area that includes Dallas, Ferrel (he dresses like a cowboy) is one of Stan's nestmates. Ferrel is the one that is kidnapped and it turns out he was kidnapped by Godric.

Apropos of nothing--but thought I might as well add it here and now--Alan Ball told a panel at Comic-Con that Season 3 would have more book-related content brought in, including werewolves, werepanthers, and werelynxes, and that there would be a group of vampires from Mississippi showing up.

Efan said:

Looks like Alcide will make it into the show after all!!!

I really hope he brings in more of the book stuff! So far he's not touched on some of my FAVORITE scenes from book two. AB gave Maryanne so much more storyline than in the book (in the books she's not even named) and in the end, when the manaed's madness consumes a group of orgy-ists, there's a scene between Sookie and Eric that is I've still got my fingers crossed that it will make it into this season somehow



True Blood, this season, is almost a blend of books 2 & 3. I'm interested to see how AB ties it all together.
