Last night’s True Blood — spoilers as per usual!
- Pam in the first scene was perhaps the greatest ever, first for telling Bill to get a clue, then for calling him an infatuated teen, then for macing him with silver particles. Go Pam!
- Yvetta is a cardiologist! I’d say this is supposed to be a commentary on the difficulties immigrants have in getting the requisite credentials in order to practice their old occupation in a new country, but I think it’s expecting too much of this show for this to be relevant later on.
- Hoyt & Jessica! Sorry, I never get sick of these two.
- Um, Russell and Talbot at the art museum. HILARITY ENSUES as Russell taunts Eric about missing his mommy and daddy. Most importantly: ERIC’S RINGTONE.
- Bad ass drunk Sam is phenomenally obnoxious, holy Christ. Also, you absolutely CANNOT be mean to Terry of all people and Terry is a KING OF MEN for responding the way that he does. Terry is also awesome for refusing to take Sam’s orders directly, instead forcing him to put the slips on the spinny thing. Terry is so consistently awesome.
- Backwoods wiccan DIY abortions are not something I’m terribly interested in witnessing.
- I’m really disappointed that Summer is just a pawn of Maxine Fortenberry. Clearly Summer liked Hoyt on her own terms but I hate that Maxine was the instigator. Also, Summer is short. She can’t reach stuff on a shelf without a grabber. A GRABBER. Oh my god, I love her.
- I love Andy’s range of facial expressions as Tara just sits and stares at him. I also like the extra special glimpse we get into frat boy Andy’s past as a hot sauce chugger.
- Oh hey, Tommy, did you just discover that there are consequences to your douchey actions? Life lessons!
- My definition of hell: Bill and Sookie’s fantasy world of what their life would be like if they had a fresh start. Sookie will be a real estate agent? Bill will teach third grade… where, at night school? He’ll fish with Jason, who we’ve never seen fish in three seasons? WHAT IS THIS ELABORATELY BORING LIFE YOU’VE CONSTRUCTED IN YOUR SHARED BRAINS?! Thank god Eric and Russell zoom in and literally stop traffic. Someone needs to save Bill and Sookie from themselves.
- Sam and Tara need to start sleeping together again why? This storyline, it already happened, only this time Sam is just as angry as Tara. Blah.
- I kind of like Eric and Bill joining forces, mostly because while I don’t think Eric really minds having Bill’s help, I love how much Bill usually resents having to participate in Eric’s games. Anything that sticks it to Bill makes me happy, although I suppose getting to punch Eric got him more on board than usual.
- Terry’s reaction to finding out the baby was still alive was A+. The clapping was amazing.
- ERIC AND PAM OMG. “Come on, what’s this?” “Nothing, it’s the bleeds.” I LOVE THESE TWO.
- A) It must totally hurt your eyes to go out in the midday sun for the first time in a thousand years. B) I assume that Eric is relying on the fact that Russell is three times older than he is and is thus much more likely to burn up really quickly due to age, á la Godric’s quick burn. If their final showdown is just Eric trying to run out the clock on Russell while they get crispier and crispier, I’m going to be very upset.
- I have no fears whatsoever that Eric will perish, in case that was not clear.
