[True Blood] #2 (Book Spoilers Likely) - Last Ep Season 3 Finale "Evil Is Going On"
Posts
Pam got him out. That's why she was complaining about getting cement out of her hair.
Sam's a shifter who's been around Tommy long enough to know his scent. All he had to do was follow it.
Years ago, I used to play a lot of Vampire: the Masquerade online (in games known as MUSHes). We often used pretty much this exact tactic to dispose of inconvenient vamps. We called it "sarlaccing".

Bill even
Foreshadowing, it's a nifty element in stories.
Though they'll probably make her a closet witch Christian that does the whole doll thing against people she considers vile while still trying to be all happy happy sunshine and lollipops.
Well they're in the south and voodoo has a whole thing about representative dolls, so yea I wouldn't be surprised by that sort of development.
Man, I really hope Jessica+Hoyt turns out ok though, I really like them both as characters. Hoyt is one of the few normal (read: not fucked in the head) characters on the show despite his mother's best efforts to the contrary and Jessica one of the few normal vampires (only other one I can think of was that gay guy Jason befriended) meaning that she has plans that don't involve scheming and/or casual murdering.
I love that episode. Isn't that the one with the gremlin on the bus too?

I believe there was some dialogue back in the first or second episode with Eric on the phone (with his assassin?) that pretty much said he was going after Bill for knowing about the V, but the wolves got him first.
Also my Sam prediction:
Only one episode came out so far and it's damn good stuff.
Woman has unusual powers, has no idea why, finally gets nabbed by a group of people who have disagreements thus are split into two sides, she's one of them if you go back far enough but her species is that of a succubus, she can devour peoples souls though she often doesn't mean to do that most of the time, it becomes a hunger she wants to control, if she touches you then she can pretty much wrap you around her finger for a short time. Both sides want her on their side, she wants nothing to do with it.
Lots of different mythological beings are apparently going to be in the show. Vampires, pain eaters, freaky freak types and probably anything you ever read about most likely will show up guessing, like I said, first episode so shall have to see what else comes. But unlike most shows/myths they all seem to come from the same "source" or people which apparently are collectively named Fae.
Eh I fail. Anyways I was rather disappointed with the episode even if you exclude that.
I guess I just didn't like the resolution following the build up at the end of the last episode.
No, I am not really communist. Yes, it is weird that I use this name.
Season 1:
Season 2:
Season 3:
Oh wait no he's a controlling, manipulative douchebag with a completely warped sense of love who has deceived Sookie from the start and tricked her into loving him. At least this one had some foreshadowing, what with Bill gradually getting more controlling and and willingly deceiving Sookie in a few episodes this season. But in his defense, he's always had an excuse in either wanting to protect her from imminent death, or having to work a plan on the fly and not having the opportunity to fill her in.
In regards to Season 3's spoiler:
I mean, when you're dealing with super strong, super fast amoral vampires that want nothing more than to devour your girlfriend, who by the way has quite the mouth on her and a tendency to get herself into trouble, you have to be smart about it. Bill is so far the least powerful vampire on the show with the exception of Jessica and possibly Pam, and knows that he can't win in a straight up brawl. He's got to be smart about it and go for the long con as a means of winning.
Running a plan like that is no easy feat and I commend Bill for getting as far as he did. Sookie, being herself and all, is a huge liability and there would have been no way he could have let her in on his master stroke, especially after she'd drank Eric's blood and begun to get emotionally attached to him. But he got sloppy with Eric and that proved to be his downfall. He should have been more thorough with his entombing of Eric, or just disabled him with the handcuffs and staked him right there.
I never understood what Bill and Sookie see in each other. Do they share absolutely anything in common? Do they ever talk about anything of any substance beyond how much they love each other?
And anyway, Bill has sure as shit redeemed himself for that deception. Not like he could have just told the queen to fuck off when he was ordered to get Sookie.
Of course, it's never mentioned how Eric found out or even if what he said was purely a guess. Bill not denying it though didn't help his cause at all, though.
God the more I discuss this episode the more it irritates me. They should have just called it "Dues Ex Machina."

^ This.
I mean after he's slapped the silver on Eric, why not just stake both of them and be done with it?
Hey, man, you're like...staking the plot, dude.
Bill was the first man she met whose thoughts she couldn't hear, that played a big part. She didn't really get past first dates prior to that. Bill's true reasons for being interested in her change week to week.
Glad to hear a lot of other people found that the season finale had no... bite.

Did Bill kill those guys? I don't recall.
If he didn't then why wouldn't Eric have just been able to find out through his own means? It seems like he'd have a network of informants etc. and would be keeping his ear to the ground for vampire related info, and two drunk guys probably aren't the secretest of squirrels.
He did kill them. Tornado.
Heh, just because a vampire isn't invited inside doesn't mean they won't drop a tree on your trailer.
Seriously though, werewolves and shifters came off soooooo badly this season. They were either jokes or minor villains at all times. Way to make your son fight in a dog ring, people. That's some power!
Actually the person who's pissed me off the most this season was Jason and how the whole Hotshot plot played out.
Felton taking off with Crystal and Jason being left to take care of the Hotshot clan almost makes me feel like the writers had backed themselves into a corner and didn't know how to proceed with that subplot. In the books, Jason ends up with Crystal, but is abducted by Felton and bitten over the course of several weeks, turning him into a werepanther/human hybrid. Since Felton now has Crystal and they've both taken off, I can't see that evolution of Jason's character coming to pass. Maybe Alan Ball decided he doesn't want Jason to go that route?
But if you're not going to turn Jason into a werepanther, what was the point of having Crystal reveal herself? And for that matter, what was the point of even having the Hotshot clan be werepanthers if that aspect of them has no effect on the story? So far all we've come to realize of them is that they're inbred, redneck meth dealers who just happen to be able to turn into swamp cats.
Lastly, I'm all for Jason and wacky hijinks, but find myself liking Jason less and less as the show has progressed. He was all kinds of awesome in season 1, but has gradually become stupider, has fucked less hot chicks, and has shown a major display of ADD when it comes to his life decisions. Season 1 graced us with Horn-dog Jason, who banged every hot chick on the show with the sole exception of his own sister. In Season 2, Jason decides he wants to become a vampire-killing soldier of God with the Fellowship of the Sun and only bangs one chick in the fairly hot neglected wife Sarah Newlin. Also, despite his vampire-killer training, Jason only manages to kill Eggs, destroying Tara's love life in the process. Season 3 starts out with Jason attempting to return to his old ways of banging hot chicks, but he gets cockblocked by phantom bullet-holes caused by his guilt over Eggs. Then he wants to be a cop for some reason. Then he gets into a rivalry with some v-juiced quarterback at his old high school which goes nowhere. Then he ends up meeting Crystal, who pretty much ruins his life. He doesn't even get to bang her(or perhaps it's implied they have sex once), and in the end she takes off with her brother-cousin and dumps the entire clan of inbred hillbillies on the poor bastard.
Jason is in dire need of a Cool injection. Here's hoping that Season 4 has him claim his true destiny: Astronaut Cowboy.
On that:
