Well Feeders….this has been one hell of a lead up!
True Blood has definitely become one of those shows that I can NOT be interrupted while watching. My fangs really run out and it just ends in a bloody, unhappy mess. And while Sundays’ episode of True Blood didn’t end QUITE as bloody as I was expecting, it was still very bloody. So…True Blood Season 4 Episode 2. Right.
So Tara is back and is all caught up in the drama…again. Lafayette gets pulled into a dangerous game against Eric….again. Bill is lying and keeping secrets….again. Sookie is torn and is being all holier than tho…again.
First off, I am sad for Tara. She’s a bad ass and came back to see her BFF after thinking she was dead for the past year. And said BFF runs right out the door, after finding a Eric’s hidey-hole cupboard. So Tara heads over to hang out with Lafayette and Jesus. Who promptly run out to a witchy meeting where Tara is once again attacked by a vampire.
Sookie discovers that Bill is the King and we get a set of delightful flashbacks. Bill agreeing to be a spy and then lying to protect Sookie (who, incidently, he doesn’t yet know is missing. Wonder what he’d have done if he’d known she was missing?) and of course his altercation with Sophie-Ann. Glad they didn’t drag that out but they seriously butchered the story line of 2 of the books right there. Unless she’s not dead. And of course, this eliminates the Quinn storyline. And I’ll just say now that I’m a huge Quinn fan. Deal with it.
Has anyone else noticed how sexy this season is so far? We’ve seen Bill railing the witch-chick (which was tame, compared to the fun he and Sookie have had), we’ve seen Tara’s lady love all draped over Tara’s scantily clad body, Luna has already been stretched out naked with Sam who spends most of the episode at least shirtless and Crystal drops trau by the end of the episode! Phew! This is one hot season!
Lets touch on Sam here for a minute….I love the idea of him hooking up with a fellow shifter and working his drama out with Tommy (even tho you just KNOW that’s gonna come back to bite Sam in the ass….) but who is this hard ass? I don’t like this cranky grump! Is it time for Sam to do the no pants dance or what? My heart simply melted when I saw the flash of the old Sam with Sookie. I like the Sam from the books. He’s not a push over but he’s not a straight up beast either. He’s the kinda man I’d totally hook up with. I adore the bad boy traits of Eric and love Bills’ antiquated manners but Sam is the kinda guy I’d wanna have over for coffee more than once.
I’m interested to see where the Luna story line goes. Her story…damn, that was heavy. She seems like a great fit for Sam but I’m curious to see where Tommy is going to play into all this. Coz you know you can’t trust that “I wanna be brothers” BS he was spewing. Oh, and I absolutely love that Luna is Native American on one side but, despite the name, shifts into a horse readily. Makes hearts smile.
Man oh man is Jessica screwed. Clearly, it’s going to take a lot longer to drive to Shreveport than to get Hoyt his Advil. And when she was sitting at that intersection, she made the choice to go to Fangtasia. It makes me sad, it really does, that Hoyt just lets his mouth run. Who does he think he is, Jason Stackhouse?? And even Jason has learned to watch his mouth. I get Hoyt’s issues, I really do. He’s human and he wants to BE human. But geez man. Pick your words! And this is a lotta drama outta that household in just the first two episodes! Wanna toss a shout-out to the wardrobe people for Deborah Ann Woll. They are doing a fantastic job! The costume tones against her skin just make her GLOW. And I love that taking her hair down releases her from her struggles. When she’s with Hoyt, she has to be one way but when she’s a vampire she’s something different. Her use of hairstyle really captures that. I did really enjoy the interaction between Pam and Jessica as they let Hoyt get the shit beat out of him.
I suppose I should cover the vampire in the room….Eric. WTF is he thinking? First he ASKS Sookie to let him claim her which totally looses him man points but then he attacks Tara when he’s trying to show off his bad ass-ness. And did that ever backfire! Now he’s running down the road (which, just out of curiosity, I’ve been wondering where he lost his shirt? Not that I’m complaining….) and has no idea where or who he is. And of course Sookie finds him. Coz that makes perfect sense. I really wanna see them tie up the story with whoever was shifting into Marnie. One thing this show has enough of is characters. And I definitely don’t wanna see any of that bullshit story from Angel, with the gypsy curse. Alan Ball certainly has thrown in enough creativity that I suppose it would be ok if he borrowed from another vampire show, but I’d hate to see him travel down that road. If you can lose your soul once, your humans are going to spend a whole series trying to keep you from being a crazed killer

Well Feeders….
I’ve just returned from a delightful hour of complete burial in the bloody world of True Blood. And let me tell ya Feeders…I’m intrigued. As a major fan of the books, I’ve been gleefully following the show, knowing what’s coming next. In an incredibly ballsy move, Alan Ball has completely thrown me off in regards to the Sookie/Bill/Eric/Sophie-Ann mess.
The rest of this will contain A LOAD of SPOILERS!
Lets first talk about the land of fairy and Claudine/Claude. Holy way to give away the plot of one of the future books. If you’ve followed the books, you know that Claudine and Claude are stunning. And while Claude is a dick, he’s also very loyal to Claudine who is working on becoming an Angel. Now, abducting Sookie for Maab will totally throw Claudine off of that. And what were Claudine’s motives? Did she actually think she was doing the right thing? Is Maab replacing Brenden and if she is, where is Niall? And what about Fintan? Is that whole storyline just going to be washed away? I guess time will tell. Also, let me just say that the battle for Sookie was wayy cooler than the battle at the end of Season 3 between Bill and Sophie-Ann. The Bill/Sophie-Ann fight was reminiscent of The Matrix…and not in a good way.
But where is Sophie-Ann? Did Bill kill her? Or did he marry her? And what happened to Hadley? There’s a lot still coming from Sophie-Ann if you follow the books and without her, there’s no Quinn. Perhaps Alan Ball will be skipping Quinn completely?
So when Sookie comes back, we learn that Jason is a full fledged cop, Tara ran off to pretend to be Tony and is dating a woman, Andy is hooked on V, Jesus and Lafayette are really buried in this new witch thing, Sam found a new group of shape-shifters to run with and Tommy is somehow tangled up with Hoyt’s mom. Did I get it all? Oh, and Arlene and Terry are married, Arlene is still terrified of her baby and is treating him like he’s Chuckie come to life, Bill is King of Louisiana and he has a witch working for him? Holy hell that’s a lot to cram into 58 minutes!
How heartwarming is the scene in the home with Hoyt and Jessica? You know that poor guy is going to be so sick with Salmonella or E-Coli. But he just went for it. And of course, it’s a “typical” scene in the heartland….the little woman can’t cook so she just sits on the couch watching TV all day while her man works in construction. And then they head off to Fangtasia. And how cute are they? Slow dancing to fast music? And then Pam interferes….what’s her angle? Is she out to get Jessica or Hoyt?
So Maxine Fortenberry and Tommy, eh? Weird, right? Are they together? Is Tommy REALLY shacking up with her? Coz if so, that’s creepy. Or has she just found someone to replace Hoyt? Ewwww either way.
So, where is the deal with the witches going? If you’ve read ahead, you know what’s coming. I, for one, am intrigued as to whether they’ll follow the story line of just how badly Eric pisses off the witches. Either way…Season 4 is gonna have some delicious Sookie/Eric time. Book 4 was my favorite and it sets up the next 6 books or so in the series. Now, the books are pre-Hurricane Katrina and they’ve already addressed that the show is POST Katrina so there’s a whole lot going to be different from the books in that vein and theres’ definitely going to be some sticky story points that will need to be rearranged now that Bill is King of Louisiana, especially later in the series.
Now, what’s up with Tara/Tony? I’m super excited that she’s found freedom but is she just making it worse for herself that she’s lying to her lady love, Casey? In an interview, Rutina Wesley has said that Tara doesn’t brand herself anything. She wasn’t looking for this to happen but it may be her first instance of real love. What? What about Eggs? Well, she was either high or under MaryAnne’s spell anytime she was with Eggs so she may come to realize that she didn’t love him the way she loves this new gal. This is a storyline that I’m very interested in following!
The Jesus/Lafayette story line should get interesting. I’m not a fan of where it is so far; with Lafayette being used and Jesus telling Lafayette that his magic is what makes him special. A little disheartening, don’t ya think?
Poor Jason for being locked in a freezer! He’s just doing the right thing! And who hit him? Someone is VERY unhappy about Jason’s good deeds lately…
And welcome Janina Gavankar as Luna! I’m a big fan of hers, as I’ve been watching the now-cancelled series The Gates where she played another bad ass. I’m drooling a big thinking of her with Sam, who is finally getting comfortable with his supernatural status. I mean, what’s more bad ass than a horse?
Well feeders, that’ll wrap up this episode. Tune in soon for an Episode 2 recap!
