The opening credits! How I missed them. Not only does the song rock, but the clips manage to illustrate everything about humanity that drives me insane, which is fitting. Let's face it - most of the characters on this show (with the exception of Tara, Sam, and Lafayette) are total douchebags. And yet, I can't get enough of it! WHY!?? Oh yeah, it's entertaining.Let's start with Sookie (Sucky) and Bill. Here's a reenactment of their big scene from last night's episode:
Sucky: Oh Bill... I am angry that you betrayed me by killing my uncle, who molested me when I was a child. You've lied about some really big shit recently-- including killing a seventeen year-old and turning her into a vampire. Why can't you trust me? Does it have something to do with the fact that I'm a judgmental bitch?"
Bill: Oh Sucky! I will not apologize for who I am!"
Sucky: Ok! I forgive you! Forget the big dramatic scene that just happened. Let's just have sex now. Also, you can drink my blood, because being constantly anemic makes my brain work even better."
(Naughtiness ensues, because it's HBO, and they can do that.)
Thankfully, the total amount of Bill screen time wasn't so much, which gave the viewers time to catch up on the other characters.
Jason Stackhouse is still a dumb ass, and Dectective Andy is still belligerent. Sam's belt buckles are still strangely hot, and Tara-- oh, Tara. She's starting to be a little less awesome this season-- what with joining a cult and all. But I still like her. I just don't understand what is going on with the crazy lady who has become her new keeper. Every now and then it looks like she's having a seizure.
I guess we'll find out.
The best thing about last night's episode? LAFAYETTE isn't dead! Yay! He's just being held in some kind of dungeon by Eric The Vampire (who was tinting his Katie Couric hairdo.)
Overall, it was a very entertaining episode.

Have you read the books? I'm kinda torn about Bill - in the show and in the books. Sometimes I like him and sometimes I don't. In the books, I kinda feel sorry for him after awhile. I think that's what they are building towards on the show.
Although I HATE Anna's portrayal of Sookie, I don't dislike the character Sookie. Anna makes her seem a lot more self-righteous than you get in the books. Even still, I don't think it was judgemental for her to get down on Bill about him killing a human.
A life is a life and Sookie knows there is value in that.
It's weird that I enjoy something that has me in such unclear positions. I like this but I don't like that. I like this character but I don't like what they did here.
I'm like that with almost everyone. I like certain things about Tara but other times, I can't stand watching her. In the books I love Sam and Eric but they've had pretty uninteresting storylines on the show so far.
I haven't read the books. I really should, though.
See, my problem with Bill has more to do with the actor than anything. I just don't like him. He's creepy and totally unsexy and cheesy to me. I actually dread his screen time.
Sookie, for me, is bearable when she's away from him. Together, their annoying-ness multiplies!
When I mentioned her being judgmental, I was mostly thinking of the time that Sam told her he was a... whatever he is, and she freaked out.
I can definitely see how the characters would be different in the books. A lot rides on the actor's portrayals.
I personally think that Sam is a hottie, and I too wish they would use him more.
But yeah, I'm totally with you on the love/hate for this show. I cringe at times, and yet I can't get enough! It's so weird.
(I wonder if it will let me post since I don't have an account...)
Yes, you should really read the books, except that nothing that is happening now has happened in the books...well Maryann is in the books.
I loved that Eric was keeping them hostage though. In the preveiw for the next episode that played after the show, Lafayette was begging to be turned into a vampire. Wouldn't that be a hoot!! I love Lafayette.
As far as the rest of the episode, I'm not sure. I can't stand Jason, but I almost feel sorry for him. I will be interested to see how the Newlin angle plays out on screen since this is so different from the books. Jason didn't enter the church or even be approached by the Fellowship in the books...but it does give Allen Ball something to do with the actor. lol
As far as Anna...all I could think last night when she initially came to Bill and she had her hair in the side ponytail was that her head looked oversized for her body and it really bugged me. *dies*. Seriously. Her head distracted me from everything else...until Jessica came out in a towel.
Lafayette as a vampire would be awesome!
