True Blood 2nd to last ep of the season "Fresh Blood"

Alcide -- Utilize that wolfie goodness, people! I missed him again last night.

Bill --

Sookie - Now Sookie wants to finally wake up to what Tara had to say to her? I guess better late than never.

Jesus and Lafayette --I've got mixed feelings about the use of V and what was going on with the dolls...I know they'll talk about this on Racialicious. :)

Sam --I've got issues with the fact that sex with Tara is part of his rampage...Why couldn't they get together without that? (If it was even a good idea for them to hook up at all. I kind of wanted them to get together, but not like this.)

Russell--I hope he's the one to go.

Jessica and Hoyt--I love it! I wish Hoyt's mother would just untie the apron strings already. I also never saw it coming that she and Summer were in cahoots.

Pam--Silver mace...

Ginger--How long can they keep doing that to her, before they have to find a replacement? That poor baby. lol

Tara--So is she blackmailing Andy Bellefleur now?

Jason and Crystal--

Eric--Just when he was starting to get interesting I would hate to see the character go. (I can't believe I'm saying it, but yeah...)

Yvetta-- A cardiologist. Who knew? Can't believe she actually managed to tie Pam up.

Terry and Arlene--I had mixed feelings about this...It cracked me up that Arlene was wrong about the baby being gone and how psyched Terry was. He's a gem.

The In Memoriam reel...That was crazy. I also had confirmation that Diane is no more. Some deaths I forgot about, like the cat. lol

Last Night's True Blood ep "I Smell a Rat" or The Truth Comes Out (Contains Spoilers!)

Calvin--Forgot Crystal's dad's name, I think it's Calvin, but he's an ass.


Crystal --I loved that reveal. Too bad we have to wait until next week to see more of Jason's response.


Lafayette and Jesus--I like how that was filmed. It was kind of trippy and I also feel like there was some social commentary going on there. Vodoun, Native American religious practices, South American American and Carribean religious practices seems like there's more in common there than isn't if you follow what I'm saying.


Sam--That was kind of jarring to me to see him as a grifter. It also put his response to his family in a different light. He wanted to help them, but at the same time, he seemed to want to distance himself from that shady part of his past. I think he also sees a lot of himself in Tommy.



Hoyt and Jessica--I hope they're back together. It made me so happy that Tommy wasn't able to come between them. I'd like to see him with someone good for him, just not Jessica. I also loved it when Jessica let Arlene have it. I don't think it sunk in, but still. :)



Bill-- I want to believe he loves her, I really do. The burning cross on his and Jessica's lawn...at first I felt odd about it...Then I realized Bill and Jessica were both made vampires against their will. I wouldn't change mine for a second, but race/ethnicity can definitely be something, that you're given a hard time (understatement I know, but please bear with me.) over if you're the odd one out, that you didn't pick. I think other minority viewers will have interesting things to say about this as well. It also wouldn't kill Ball to add some more minority vampires. Was Diane staked? Or is this just a matter of that odd TV thing where a "white" show only has so many characters of color perhaps because they have few writers of color? This is definitely stuff I think about regardless of how much I'm enjoying an episode.

Sookie--I knew her secret, what I found funny was her response to it.

Eric--I didn't know whether he was having everybody on last night, or he really was feeling down. I don't know what to make of his "true" feelings for Sookie either. I don't even think she does.

Arlene--I was so proud of her for finally telling Terry the truth I didn't know what to do. I wish she wasn't so dead set on getting rid of the baby or thinking it's evil. I think that ultimately will be the thing that destroys things between her and Terry.



And Terry --Rare are the men who would do this. He is truly one of my favorite characters on the show.



Alcide --No Alcide last night. I'm truly po'd. (Unless I blinked and missed him which I doubt. I don't blink when I see him. Period.)



Tara -- I didn't expect her to respond to Jason's confession last night the way she did. I know she confronts Andy next week though.



Pam -- No love lost between her and Sookie I see.

Review of True Blood ep Everything is Broken (contains spoilers!)

Franklin--I won't miss him.

Crystal--She was getting on my nerves with that going back and forth stuff, and I know how it gets when self preservation kicks in, but still that was rough.

Sam's little brother-- forgot his name, but he showed his a#$ in more ways than one.

No wonder Sam went off last night.

Arlene--Kudos to her for finally telling Terry the baby isn't his. I'm not sure what the outcome will be though.

Hadley--At least she and Sookie get to meet, unlike in the books. I forgot the son's name...I didn't think they would get to him this fast, but they did. Maybe they're speeding things up a bit to give them room to play...Either that or the show is only supposed to run a set number of seasons. I know one thing, I've definitely been enjoying the ride.

Claudine--And again I ask, will there be a Claude ?

Lafayette and Jesus--Wonderful!

Ruby Jean--She cracked me up last night.

Jason--The fact that he did what he did almost makes up for Eggs. Almost. I still don't know if Tara will be able to forgive him for that.

Hoyt and Jessica--I wish they'd just go on and get back together. Yeah they've got issues, but it seems to me they can't be worked out or around or whatever... Stepford girl (forgot her name and sometimes Imdb is no help whatsoever.) needs to go and Sam's little brother keeps getting in the way. If he were more like Sam, I might like him for Jessica, but he's not, so I don't.

Pam --Who'd have thought she'd expose a soft side? I've said it once, I'll say it again. I love this character.

Nan--Can't believe she called Eric "a little bit#%". Eric!

Eric--I'm curious to see how he'll defeat King Russell.

King Russell --I knew he'd gone bye-bye when he was running around speaking to Talbot.

Holly--I think she was younger in the book and she had a boyfriend she accidentally turned into a cat if memory serves...

Tara --I understood why the character (A lot of my relatives have this same view of shrinks.) wouldn't want to go to a shrink, but I couldn't understand what would make her pick a support group instead. That's worse to me (especially after she said she didn't want to spill her guts to a stranger.)...but to each her own I guess.

Alcide--Not enough of him this week, not by a long shot. And three episodes left?

Felton and Calvin -- I don't remember them being this nasty in the book. I think they're mixing characters again and trying to simplify for TV.

Ginger--Never a dull moment...I wondered what had happened to her.

Whew! I think that's everybody...Is it just me or do these lists get longer every week?

Last night's episode of True Blood "Hitting the Ground" (contains spoilers! )

Lafayette...he's not a drug dealer anymore...:) Already Jesus (inside joke here?) is having an influence on him. Where was Jesus last night anyway?

Tara...She really is a good friend to Sookie and that's all I'm going to say. Even if one thinks the other is doing a stupid thing, they still eventually back the other up.

Jason...as distracted as he was by Crystal, he still pulled it together to be by Sookie's side.

Bill...Did the fairy blood slow the effect of the sun's rays on him? I don't remember that happening in the books, but sometimes I like when they diverge from the books...

Claudine...I loved seeing her last night. This makes me wonder if we'll see Claude too or he'll get phased out like Bubba.

Jessica...Missed her.

Hoyt...He's clearly not happy with Summer.

Eric...He's just...last season I thought love or at least lust was motivating him...now I'm not sure what's motivating Eric as far as Sookie is concerned. Is he telling people one thing and secretly thinking/feeling another?

Alcide...TV Guide had these collectible Team Bill and Eric covers ...What I want to know is this? Where were the Team Alcide covers? He really went above and beyond last night.

Gus (Don Swayze)...Can't remember this character in the book...Kind of wish we get to see more of him too...He's good on his own merit too, but I'd be lying if I said he didn't remind me a lot of Patrick too...

Debbie...She's a mess, but what she said last night shed a little light into why she might be such a mess. I'd like to see this explored further.

Queen Sophie Anne...She's really amusing at times...I don't think she's going to be able to outscheme the king though...They deserve each other I think...

Hadley...I'm curious about her...

The Magister...I was thrilled to see him go.

Pam...She recovered in record time and with snark intact. I love her!

Lorena...The dynamic(s) of her and Bill's relationship kind of makes me think of Darla's and Angel's relationship in the Whedonverse...

Sam...He was awesome last night. He is by far one of my favorite characters on the show.
I hope little bro doesn't make Sam sorry he rescued him. The parents...I don't know who's worse Mom or Dad... What a mess!
