Spoiler warning
This
episode wasn’t much of an improvement from last week. Tara rises like an
animal, and it’s actually kind of cool and morbid. She can’t be tamed. At least
she’s quieter. Then she gets back to herself a little, says, “I’ll never
forgive you” to Lafayette and Sookie, and runs off. Tara’s angry at someone?!!
What a change! It seems like she will be getting completely different
storylines now that she’s a vampire and it’s a whole new season! We hope you
are getting all the sarcasm there.
The
much-hyped backstory of how Pam met Eric is lame so far. Steve Newlin just
needs to go away. He’s the kind of gay guy that gives gays, Christians,
Republicans, and men everywhere a bad name. He isn’t funny and he isn’t scary.
He’s still in the closet about being gay. The best thing about his existence is
Jessica throwing him out of her house and throwing his hair. We liked Hoyt’s
mom’s reaction to Jason breaking up Hoyt’s relationship. Pies for Jason!
Luna
acted pretty crazy when Sam suggested that Luna not cut Emma off from her
grandmother, Martha. Emma is a cute little wolf. Marcus’s body looked too fake
to be gross when it was all partially eaten. We don’t get to see a ton of
Alcide and just about everyone keeps their clothes on this week. We don’t get
much progression on the Terry stuff. He just acts crazy and agrees to go with
Patrick to look for their missing fellow soldier.
We liked
Nora getting shut up and slapped when she tried to lie. We also like Chris
Meloni as the head of the Authority (the Guardian). True Blood is tackling
religion, the church, and fanaticism by showing us the vampire religion. They
are like vampire Catholics from the Inquisition days and they definitely
believe the government should be a theocracy with them at the head. Greeeeeaat.
That will be so fun, True Blood of all the dumb f*** shows getting political
and throwing out commentary.
We’ve
seen the Lilith myth used in much better ways. Most of the effort is devoted to
the Authority torturing Bill and Eric. They tell the Guardian that Russell
Edgington is alive and about. That way, they can be offered to Russell as bait
so that he can be caught and killed. Then he won’t go after Sookie. Sookie’s
got a mean air freshener on her side though. She might not need their
protection! Yeah, that was more sarcasm. Sookie needs to get a sawed-off
shotgun with silver ammo and start working on how to get better control of her
fairy powers. This show makes one of us miss The Vampire Diaries.
Overall,
this episode was boring and mostly set-up. But the last image was gross enough
to make it worth watching. This season had better get good, quick. We miss
Jesus. Kill Tara and bring back Jesus!
Episode grade: C+
