    I don't know if I was in a bad mood or what, but it seemed like latest episode was full of Dues Ex Machina bullshit.

    Something cool is going to happen!
    Spoiler:

    and then!
    Spoiler:

    Pam got him out. That's why she was complaining about getting cement out of her hair.
    and of course
    Spoiler:

    BAH!

    Sam's a shifter who's been around Tommy long enough to know his scent. All he had to do was follow it.

    He's not gone, they literally stored him for later usage

    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".

    I like how Eric just brushes off what happened. All he wanted in return was a new cell phone. Though he seems one to go more for suffering than just straight up killing so I suppose telling Sookie about Bill was his way of getting back.

    Eric wasn't too keen on saving Bill in the beginning of the season. They're used to it.

    I'm a published writer and have a very unique and interesting writing style. I'm also sharp and witty. My profile is well-written and hilarious. My messages are likewise brilliant. And I've been doing this stuff for...four or five years. I know what "works" in terms of good internet dating writing. "Works" in the sense of leading to a "date" with a human female.

    The internet has calmed my fears that I was the only person in the world who didn't get the doll thing.

    It was specifically mentioned that Whatshername likes dolls. The doll on the floor might be a sign that she's been snooping around, leaving behind dolls the way other people leave fingerprints. Maybe she's a supernatural with doll-based powers.

    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'm cool with that if we can learn more about the cute underwear she showed Hoyt.

    No, staking him isn't too quick. They should have staked the hell out of him while inside a silver coffin, then thrown the goop in the sun, then sprinkled silver water in it and sealed it up with silver chains and tons of C4. That has silver chunks stuck all over it. And THEN buried it.

    Which makes me realize how stupid Bill's assault on the Queen was. Yeah, it gave us the measure of how he has nothing to lose and is willing to just go head on, but: 1)It looked cheesy as hell 2)if she had walked into the house and into some kind of death trap or just a shotgun blast of silver/wood it would have been damn awesome.

    Seriously, my wife and I just burst out laughing at the Queen/Bill thing. I don't know how anyone working on that show wouldn't realize how fucking stupid that looked.

    I know Kung-fu!

    It reminded me of the Matrix spoof scene in one of the Scary Movie movies.
    It reminded me of the simpsons halloween special where the whole family becomes vampires at the end, then hover in the air.

    I love that episode. Isn't that the one with the gremlin on the bus too?

    Eric wasn't too keen on saving Bill in the beginning of the season. They're used to it.

    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:

    For those that like True Blood I advise you to go find a new show called Lost Girl.

    Only one episode came out so far and it's damn good stuff.

  • TeriferinTeriferin Registered User regular
    What is this "Lost Girl"?

    steam_sig.png
  • override367override367 Registered User regular
    It's about a succubus who presumably sexes and devours men

  • CadeCade Registered User regular
    Kind of.

    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.

    I know that show takes cues from the books and that Bill's exit was inevitable, but really I have to hand it to Alan Ball and his ability to have characters do a complete personality 180 in the season finale.

    If Bill is gone, good riddance. He and Sookie are basically my least favourite part of the show. And while I know Sookie can never be gone (what with being the main character and all), at least he can be.

    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?

    Probably not much, since they're just acting. Barring, you know, they do more than that.

    ^ This.

    I mean after he's slapped the silver on Eric, why not just stake both of them and be done with it?

    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.

    Heh, just because a vampire isn't invited inside doesn't mean they won't drop a tree on your trailer.

    The dog ring was at least partly justified though. Hell, I know people in real life that are stuck on that whole, 'This is how I did it, now it's your turn' philosophy and it takes a lot to break that mindset.

    Actually the person who's pissed me off the most this season was Jason and how the whole Hotshot plot played out.
