True Blood Season 3 Episode 2: Beautifully Broken
Posted by: | Comments
Last week’s episode ended with Bill being surrounded by a pack of wolves. He tells them “I should warn you – I’ve fed.”
This week’s show starts off just how I like my True Blood episodes – with lots of naked male bodies!
Top 10 Highlights from True Blood Episode 1: Beautifully Broken
#10 - Lafayette saves Tara’s life when she attempts to overdose on pills because she’s so distraught over Eggs’ death. Damn I love Lafayette! He’s one of the strongest characters on the show.
And there’s more: accomplished actress Alfre Woodard has joined the show as Lafayette’s mother. Lafayette takes Tara with him to visit her. Get this: one of the aides at Lafayette’s mother’s nursing home is a hot Latino guy named Jesus that (rumor has it) will become a love interest for Lafayette. Yea, I hope Lafayette finds happiness this season – he definitely deserves it.
#9 - Bill meets the Gay Vampire King of Mississippi, Russell Edgington who rides in on a beautiful white horse. Let me tell you, the King lives in STYYLE! His mansion is gorgeous. Okay, perhaps it’s a bit over the top but I have to admire his decorating sense.
Turns out, the K of M played a part in Bill’s abduction. His reason: he’s plotting a few political moves against the Queen of Louisiana and wants Bill to work with him. When Bill refuses he issues a veiled threat against Sookie.
#8 - Sookie and Jessica go to Eric to seek assistance in finding Bill. Eric acts as if he doesn’t know what happened to Bill. He later confesses to Sookie that he lied to her. He tells her that the werewolves that took Bill are part of a werewolf pack that are infused with vampire blood. He decides to help her since the werewolves appear to be targeting her.
#7 - Baby Vamp Jessica seeks advice from Pam on how to dump a dead body that you accidentally kill. It appears that Bill hasn’t done such a good job teaching Jessica how to drink blood from a human without killing it. Oops, did I just call a human, “it”?
#6 - Yikes! Eric actually shows his humanity when Sookie cries over Bill’s disappearance! He says “don’t do that – you make me feel disturbingly human.” He then flashes back to when he tortured a werewolf during what appears to be WWII.
#5 - While at the K or M’s mansion, Bill’s maker Lorena appears. Bill, not happy to see her, light’s her fire.
#4 - Two more new characters appear in tonight’s episode: Crystal Norris (who Jason meets while out on a police call with Andy Bellefluer) and Franklin Mott, a sexy British vampire that Tara meets at Merlotte’s bar. Franklin comes to Tara’s rescue when she confronts two rednecks outside Merlotte’s.
#3 - Jessica and Hoyt are SO CUTE TOGETHER! I gotta tell you, I really like Hoyt – he cares so much for Jessica. also, it’s good to see that Jessica hasn’t lost her touch with humanity since she became a vampire. To be perfectly honest, she’s become a better person since she was turned. If you’ll remember, she was a brat when she was a human.
#2 - Good news: Sam found his family! Bad news: Sam found his family! They’re not exactly the Waltons.
#1 - Oh crap! The guy that Baby Vamp Jessica killed isn’t dead! Or more importantly, he’s undead.
The episode ends with Eric facing down a werewolf that has broken into Sookie’s home.
And here are the:
Funniest Lines from True Blood Episode 2 – Beautifully Broken:
• When Sookie tells Jason that werewolves exist he says: “Bigfoot, is he real too? Santa?”
• Baby vamp Jessica, while spraying air freshner over the guy she killed and talking on the phone with a saleperson says: “Do you carry chainsaws? Okay, how much are they? Um, can I rent one of those for the night?”
Question for viewers: What did you think of Snoop Dogg’s “Oh Sookie” music video after the show?
It’s BAACK! True Blood Season 3 Episode 1: Pack of Wolves
Posted by: | Comments
I’m so excited! Tonight’s episode of True Blood Season 3, Episode 1 was AWESOME!
To recap the cliff hanger from last season: Sookie and Bill are sharing a romantic dinner together when Bill pops the question and asks Sookie to marry him. Sookie is flustered and goes to the bathroom to calm down. While there she decides to tell Bill yes, she’ll marry him. Sookie returns to their table only to find Bill gone! Bill has been kidnapped by someone in black gloves with a silver chain.
So, without further ado here are the Top 10 Highlights from True Blood Episode 1: Pack of Wolves
#10 - Bill is kidnapped by “The Fuck You Crew” (their words, not mine) who hold him captive in the back seat of a car (by binding him in silver chains) while drinking his blood. But they’re a bunch of amateurs and Bill eventually escapes.
#9 - Baby Vamp Jessica mistakenly kills a man. She apparently bit him a bit too deeply. She’s pretty distraught over this and decides to turn him. Doesn’t look like it worked but you never know.
#8 - Jason has a “hard” time dealing with his murder of Eggs, Tara’s boyfriend. Although he’s a serious horn dog he’s unable to perform when he picks up two women at Merlotte’s bar.
#7 - Sam is still trying to find clues to his past.
#6 - Ah ha! We learn that Eric is behind Bill’s kidnapping. He was concerned about Bill’s ability to link the Queen of Louisiana with the selling of vampire blood to humans.
#5 - Poor Tara. She’s so distraught over Eggs that she tries to kill herself.
#4 - Bill, still weak from being kidnapped and bound in silver, enters the home of an ill elderly lady. He’s apparently overcome with hunger because he decides to attack her, something totally against Bill’s nature. Fortunately, he doesn’t hurt her and erases her memory after feeding from her. He even gives her some money, telling her that it’s from her son.
#3 - Sam dreams that BILL MAKES A PASS AT HIM! And in Sam’s dream, he’s TOTALLY interested in kissing Bill full on the mouth! Say what? My mouth was open in awe the entire time.
#2 - Eric has a NIICE butt! Tonight we saw Eric’s fully naked backside! Yikes he looks good!
#1 - Bill, on his way back to Bon Temps, is surrounded by a pack of werewolves! The episode ends with him baring his fangs at them.
And here are the Three Funniest Lines from True Blood Episode 1 – Pack of Wolves:
1. Eric, on being interrupted from having sex with his new Fangtasia dancer says: “Sookie, meet Yvetta, from Estonia. Yvetta, meet Sookie, from here.”
Jason, when Hoyt expresses concern about picking up two women, says: “If you and I are going to be roommates there’s a certain amount of pussy overflow you’ll have to deal with.”
Pam, upon entering Sookie’s completely trashed home said: “Now why’d you have to go and kill that maenad – she’s a terrific decorator.”
Question for viewers: What Was Your Favorite Scene From Episode 1?
True Blood Minisode 1: Eric and Pam
Posted by: | CommentsAs you know, HBO is releasing several True Blood “minisodes” that promote the upcoming highly anticipated True Blood Season 3. Here’s the first minisode. It’s called “Eric and Pam” and it’s hilarious! Think “Vampires Meet American Idol”.
The scene: Eric and Pam are auditioning dancers for their vampire club, Fangtasia. Some of the dancers are, shall we say, rhythmically-challenged? Check it out:
I love it! Get ready for True Blood Season 3 by re-watching the strange and sexy things that happened in True Blood Season 2!
True Blood Minisodes Start May 2nd
Posted by: | Comments
Alan Ball has written 6 minisodes of True Blood that will be broadcast on HBO starting Sunday, May 2nd.
Hurrah!
These episodes are NOT from Season 2 and will NOT be shown during Season 3. They’re supposed to provide answers to some of the mysteries surrounding Season 1 and Season 2 and set the stage for True Blood Season 3.
I’m so excited!
Here’s what I hope will happen in the minisodes:
1. Maryann Forrester: I hope they include Maryanne and provide some back story on her. I know people hated her but I absolutely LOVED her. Why? Because she was a true villain. Alan Ball didn’t try to glamorize her and the evil she engaged in. She was a straight up baddie with no regrets. Okay, I know she was wacko, but from an entertainment perspective, you have to give props to Michelle Forbes for doing such a great job with this character.
2. Lafayette’s Disappearance: Remember at the end of Season One when we saw Lafayette outside Merlotte’s yelling because something was charging at him? We then saw (in the last episode of True Blood Season 1) the foot in the back of Andy Belefluer’s car and wondered if it was Lafayette’s manicured footsie. If you’ll remember, for a while there Lafayette was missing and we thought he was dead. But we never found out: a) who actually attacked him outside Merlotte’s; b) how he came to be a prisoner in Eric’s dungeon; and c) why Eric wants him to continue selling “V”.
3. Miss Jeanette’s Death: Exactly how was Miss Jeanette killed and put in the back of Andy’s car? What transpired between she and Maryann to cause Maryann to kill her?
4. Amy Burley: How did Amy Burley happen upon Bon Temps? Was she simply traveling around looking for a new place to settle? Or did she specifically choose Bon Temps because of the vampires?
So, what do YOU want Alan Ball to focus on during these minisodes? Hit me up in the comments.
New True Blood/Sookie Stackhouse Book – Dead In The Family!
Posted by: | Commentspre-order the book!
Here’s the book description from the Amazon UK site:
“If you think your family relationships are complicated, think again: you haven’t seen anything like the ones in Bon Temps, Louisiana. Sookie Stackhouse is dealing with a whole host of family problems, ranging from her own kin (a non-human fairy and a telepathic second cousin) demanding a place in her life, to her lover Eric’s vampire sire, an ancient being who arrives with Eric’s ‘brother’ in tow at a most inopportune moment. And Sookie’s tracking down a distant relation of her ailing neighbour (and ex), Vampire Bill Compton. In addition to the multitude of family issues complicating her life, the werewolf pack of Shreveport has asked Sookie for a special favour, and since Sookie is an obliging young woman, she agrees. But this favour for the wolves has dire results for Sookie, who is still recovering from the trauma of her abduction during the Fairy War.”
