    Good episode. I suspected a firemonster/firedemon once I saw the firemonster/firedemon paintings in the previous episode. Where the hell are they even gonna take that storyline?? I can only assume they will end up banishing it somehow, maybe with the help of Lafayette or something? I dunno

    I thought the ifrit was actually pretty genuinely creepy. The whole storyline has been nicely done so far.

    So when did everyone start calling supernatural creatures "supes"

    I feel like I hadn't noticed that at all until Sunday's episode, and that's only because they used the phrase like four times during.

    Did I miss an episode where someone explained that was the preferred nomenclature of the supernatural or is it just something we're going with now, like Meta Humans in the DC/Marvel Universe?

    They definately called it that before, but it's been a while. I hope this isnt the return of prejudice Jason.... that whole thing was super silly. I mean, when is he going to realize that if his parents were fairies, and his sister is a fairy.... derp.

    I had the same reaction. The first time they said it, it was actually fairly jarring.

    If you're implying that Jason is a fairy, he's not. They made it clear that it skips generations and family members altogether.

    Personally I think he's got a little of the fairy charm which is how he gets so man women to sleep with him, (and guys that want to) but he's not one of the x-men.

    Exactly. I mean it's not a big deal or anything, but it's just like "okay, from now on this is what we call these things, and we've totally been doing it this whole time, but just to make sure you knew that let's use the word five times in an episode and really put an emphasis on it"

    It didn't ruin the show, just felt forced.

    Based on his charisma, he's obviously a sex panther after all.

    Man the sex panther thing was unpleasant.
    I'm glad that Jason is starting to realize that he's got some serious damage when it comes to sex, but it seems like he learns this lesson every season. If I were him, the panther rape would've done it for me well before sexing up Pediphile Teacher recently.

    Awesome episode. Eric had some really fucking good quotes, made me remember that he's a bad ass.

    Big spoilers
    Pretty sad that Ronan is gone already. Is Nora going nuts or what?

    "Efreet" looks really good. Glad they're taking the CGI more seriously.

    If the vamp didn't go splat. . .I don't believe he is dead. Although yes the betrayals were pretty well and good telegraphed from the second episode, I still was guessing which one was going to get it.

    Also, Roman is certainly younger than Russel - I wouldn't get near him with a stake either, silvered or not.

    EDIT: Oh nevermind. I saw the preview for next week.

    Aw.
    Sad to see Roman go. That dude was awesome.

    I was kinda hoping he was pretty old. Maybe not as old as Russel, but at least somewhere in the 2000's so he could put up a decent fight.

    I mean, if the kid was 900, you'd have to figure Roman was at least 1000+

    Need to consult my scouter.

    That's a parody line I'd like to hear from Sookie at some point.

    Sookie - "Jeez how do you all keep track of ages like this? Ya'll have your own scouter sense or something?"
    Eric - "Our own what?"
    Sookie - "*in Recoome voice* Eric! What's it say about his power level?"
    Bill - "...We're not getting this reference."
    Sookie - "Ugh, nevermind."

    So who all is against Roman:
    I think we all agree Salome is, and after last night, it seems like Kibwe is as well. Killing humans who could identify the traitor? No, not suspicious at all.

    I would find it amusing if they were all secretly opposed to Roman.

    I think Roman was 500 years old, so he was actually one of the youngest on the council

    It's interesting to think about the age/power/political influence dynamics.

    Someone like Jessica could be well over 500 before she starts thinking very ambitiously, but turn a politically-minded type and his first impulse would be to seek out and consolidate power.

    Yep. Look at Bill and Eric. Bill is much, much younger, and managed to eventually become King of Louisiana. Eric was apparently content with being sheriff of zone 5 and running a nightclub before he got drawn into the shit.

    Yeah, the ending was telegraphed a mile away. Further. They should have gone a different route. Like Eric just walk in and kills everyone, not blah blah blah blah (not a) surprise!

    Maybe they'll still go with the tech chick being the traitor and not the obvious route with Salome.

    I think she's lost a fair bit of weight since Veronica Mars/Napoleon Dynamite, as well, which probably aids the confusion

    I enjoyed the episode, although I'm a little sad that
    Russell is still the big bad, despite how awesome he is. I mean he and Salome are in the 2K and older club so they're damn near unstoppable.

    My guess is that this whole bullshit Fairy war spills out and is much tougher than even the older vamps realize, and this season ends with supernatural war on Earth (not in a grand apocalyptic scale or anything, but you know...

    Also, Russell was flat out confident he could find a way to bring his lover back from a pile of goo. What's the over/under that Lillith is either a) still alive or b) gets resurrected?

    Since I got a double Post I figured I'd just give a few thoughts:
    Tara - she's showing to be the mean bitch she always was, but now with super powers I am hoping we see her become a bit more interesting.

    Jason/Sookie/Parents - IF the vampire that killed their parents turns out to be Russell I will be very disappointed.

    Alcie - Packmaster? I understand him wanting to get rid of the V drinking wolves, but Packmaster Alcie sounds like trouble.

    Hoyt - Poor Eyore Hoyt. I had hoped he'd shake it off but it seems that's not in the cards or is it? As much as he's miserable, I really don't think it's in his character to side with those guys that have been going around killing the "Supes". This may actually force him to stop being a whiny bitch.

    Terry/Eefrite - not sure how I feel about this as Terry has always been a fringe character and more face time isn't really making him all that more interesting.

    Maybe it's just me, but I really wish that some of these "White Wolf on tha teevees" modern fantasy shows would do more American mythology. I wanna see Coyote getting his trick on and teaching all these whiny emo bitches what it is to learn while someone else laughs at you.

    I mean the only instance I can think of was ONE wendigo showing up in the first season of Supernatural, and then it was off to play Bible-ball with the Revelations crew.

    Admittedly some of this is a reaction to vampire saturation.

    Ha. Not to get too off-topic, but the first time vampires showed up on Supernatural I was like "Oh god not this shit again! Don't they have enough shows?" and dreaded the inevitable vampire takeover of an otherwise cool concept of a show. But I was happily proven wrong.

    Meanwhile we have True Blood that could arguably be spending too much time on non-vampires for a show about vampires.

    I am totally okay with that though, because even with the Fae court being the most stock thing since vampire porn, it is something besides vampire porn.

    Speaking of vampires and porn, has anyone hung a lantern on the fact that vampires are all essentially pathetic junkies? I mean, I was trying to figure out who all these characters are that you use names for (because I don't remember names well when I'm even paying proper attention, like who Hoyt is) so I checked the wiki and found basically ALL the vampire character histories including, "and then they fell prey to their vampire instincts and did X (where X is generally something hedonistic)."

    Hell it's Russell's only thing, he's a completely amoral hedonistic psychopath and proud of it.
