Karma’s a Bitch in True Blood Episode 7 – Hitting the Ground
Posted by: | Comments
Lorena finally gets what’s coming to her in True Blood Episode 7 as Sookie sinks a metal pole into her chest, turning her into a big pile of vampire mush. Looks like we are finally rid of that bitch. And speaking of getting rid of vampire assholes, the Magister loses his head after he is forced to marry Russell and Sophie-Ann. Sookie’s true identify is becoming the big mystery that everyone wants to solve in this week’s episode. Keep reading for some other highlights from Episode 7:
Highlights from Tonight’s Episode
Alcide and Tara rescue Sookie and a dying Bill from Lorena’s torture room and put them in the back of the van. Sookie opens up her wrist, pouring her blood into Bill’s mouth. He’s sucking for all he’s worth and then he starts biting. Wow, is this her thanks for rescuing him?
Sookie is dying when Alcide and Tara pull the van over and they race her to the hospital. Who thought it was a good idea to put a critically hurt vampire in the back of a van with a healthy human? Tara kicks Bill out of the van and he lands in the sun with little ill effects although he starts to smoke a bit.
Sam heads out to “redneck central” looking for dog fights. Sam the pit bull appears at the dog fighting ring and gets chained up, but Sam turns human and knocks him out with a punch. Go Sam! Sam pulls the alarm and rescues Tommy from the ring where he was getting his ass kicked by the rottweiler.
Eric brings Hadley to the queen, who’s sitting in a cage. Eric says he’ll drink from Hadley until the queen tells her why she has such a special interest in Sookie. Eric rips into Hadley’s throat as he continues to ask the queen about Sookie Stackhouse. Hadley says that she’ll tell Eric – Sookie is her cousin and then she whispers into Eric’s ear something to which he replies “well, I certainly wasn’t expecting that” and he meets the queen’s eyes.
Sookie is in emergency surgery thanks to Bill’s big drain-fest. Sookie has a major seizure and the doctor tells Tara and Alcide that they can find no blood type for Sookie – without one they can’t give her a transfusion and she’s in a coma. That’s when Jason notes that Sookie has never been sick, never been in a hospital – she was born at home. The mystery continues….
Sam tells his parents that he’s taking Tommy away from them and for Dad to give Tommy his clothes – the poor guy once again ends up standing in his tightie-whities. As Sam and Tommy walk away, it’s funny to see how well Dad’s clothes fit Tommy, especially since Dad is about six inches taller.
Jason keeps talking to Sookie in her coma, telling her that she is all he has, she has got to come back. Then there is a flash of light around Sookie and she is in another, beautiful world where she meets Claudine who gives her something to drink that makes her look happy and healthy. Claudine says Bill will steal Sookie’s “light”. “What light?” she asks as all the beautiful people disappear.
Bill appears in the hospital room – it looks like he survived his fall into the sun. Bill says his blood can save Sookie and Jason gives permission for Bill to give his blood over Tara’s vehement protests. Bill is sitting by Sookie’s bed when she comes awake and he looks so happy until she start screaming in his face. I guess it’s not going to be a happy reunion after all.
The Magister is torturing Pam by putting sterling silver earrings into her eyelids. Pam is defiant and caustic to the end. Eric arrives in the nick of time, revealing that Russell is now his king. As Russell tells the Magister that he is the authority in town, he whips Pam out of the silver chains and puts the Magister in them. The Magister is forced to marry the king and queen, pronouncing Russell and Sophie-Ann to be husband and wife. It’s certainly nice to see Pam again – I missed her last week.
Betrayal Galore in True Blood Episode 6 – I Got a Right to Sing the Blues
Posted by: | Comments
Matrimony and betrayal are in the air on this episode of True Blood as Russell, the king of Mississippi, asks Sophie Ann, the queen of Louisiana, to marry him. Is there anyone who isn’t getting married this season? Bill and Sookie, Franklin and Tara, and now the king of Mississippi and queen of Louisiana? Well, after seeing this episode, I don’t think Bill and Sookie will be getting married anytime soon – he’s not likely to be up and around for a while and she finds out he’s not all that he pretended to be. Here are some other highlights from Episode 6:
Highlights from Tonight’s Episode
The king drags Sookie back to his house where Bill tries a last ditch effort to save her but Eric intervenes and takes her back to the king…betrayed again! Now they know Bill has not been 100% honest with them. Sookie is so pissed at Eric but he just tells her to shut up, that she means nothing to him. And he looks like he means it when he says it.
Bill is taken to the slave quarters where Lorena chains him to the floor as she pulls out her little bag of torture instruments. She is quite the sadist and she is going to bleed Bill to death. It’s a nasty scene, he’s got pieces missing from him. Cooter and Debbie come in, looking for a little taste of Bill. Gross, Debbie starts licking all over him and they say they are going to turn him into a “fucking raisin”.
Russell wants to know what Sookie is and he’s not above torturing her to get it out of her. She says she’s just a waitress and then she kicks off a game of quid pro quo where they go back and forth on questions to each other. Sookie asks “is Lorena going to kill Bill?” To which the king asks her why does she care? And that’s when he tells her that Bill has been keeping a file on her and her family this whole time. She looks so shocked, you feel sorry for her. Russell says “oh sweetheart, you really don’t know anything do you?”
Arlene tells Jessica “please don’t kill me, I’m pregnant” when Jessica’s teeth pop out after Arlene cuts her hand. Uh-oh, I guess the secret’s out. Jessica puts the whammy on a grouchy customer who was being a bitch at Merlotte’s and she attacks her in the restroom. It looks like Pam’s advice is working – she got her dinner without killing the entree. Jessica is really coming into her own.
Lafayette and Jesus are hanging out together in Lafayette’s super-sports car that Eric gave him. They tell each other deep, dark secrets. These two share a hot kiss in the car, necking like two teenagers. Later, they arrive at Lafayette’s place but are interrupted by some rednecks who are trashing his car. These two kick some redneck ass but Jesus finds out in the process that Lafayette is a drug dealer. Looks like the honeymoon is over.
Tara is still tied to the bed – poor thing, I’d think her circulation would be cut off by now. She’s trying the charming routine on Franklin and it appears to work as he lets her go. She convinces him to let her bite him and she just rips and rips at his throat, digging in hard, it’s pretty nasty to see but Franklin appears to like it. That confirms the fact that he is a psycho.
Eric is doing a great job of charming Russell, he’s suspicious of Eric but seems to be allowing himself to be taken in. In their limo ride to the queen’s house, Russell describes his master plan – kill all the humans. Hmm, I wonder if they’ve thought where their food source will come from if they are successful? The king goes to see the queen and proposes but she rejects him. Eric takes the queen down hard when he realizes that she is the one who framed him with the Magister. He says he is Russell’s now and since Eric is stronger than she is, she agrees to the marriage. I wonder what Talbot will have to say about that!
It’s finally daytime and Tara grabs a mace from the wall and bashes Franklin’s head in. Whoa – it is smashed FLAT. He is going to be so mad at her, if she thought he was psycho before, she hasn’t seen anything yet, I suspect. Tara sneaks into Sookie’s room and they escape Russell’s house. Of course, Sookie won’t leave without Bill so she runs off to to find the slave quarters while Tara calls her an idiot. Sookie finds Bill still alive but then so is Lorena who grabs her and throws her across the room. And with a vicious neck bite from Lorena, this week’s episode ends with a scream.
Who’s Going to be a Vampire Bride in True Blood Episode 5 – Trouble
Posted by: | Comments
The creep factor ratcheted up quite a few notches this week as Franklin keeps Tara locked up with him in the king’s house and he finally confesses that he wants her to be his vampire bride. Poor girl, she can’t win…she finds a guy who’s crazy for her and he’s a psycho. Some other highlights from Episode 5:
Highlights from Tonight’s Episode
Tara is stuck as Franklin’s plaything, he’s considers her to be “spectacularly different”. Franklins says that Tara is such a fucking disaster, the two of them could be twins. What a compliment…
The king of Mississippi is disturbingly interested in Sookie, especially when he finds out that Bill was keeping a dossier on Sookie and her family tree. Eric arrives at the king’s house, meeting Talbot, the royal consort. Talbot is quite fascinated with him. Eric tells the king that he wants to hunt Bill Compton in his area, when much to his surprise, Bill walks in and the two of them engage in one of their famous glaring contests. No love lost there.
Franklin has Tara tied to the bed, he put her in a new gown that he bought her. Franklin is obsessed with her and he’s jealous of Layfayette texting her. At one point he says “watch how fast I text”. That was pretty amusing, watching a vampire brag about their texting skills. Tara gets away during the day while all the vampires are in their daylight sleeping mode. Unfortunately, she can’t get away from Franklin that easily, especially when a werewolf runs her down.
Jason shows up at the sheriff’s department, waiting to start his new job. Andy gives him a desk and puts him on phone duty. Jason is out washing police cars when he sees a hot girl drive by in a pickup. He pulls her over – shirtless – and asks for her license and registration. She challenges him and says no, she doesn’t think he’s a cop. All he gets out of her is her name, Crystal. He begs her to meet him at Merlotte’s but she just drives away. Jason? Shirtless? And the girl just drives away?
Alcide wants to tell his packmaster about Debbie and what happened at her initiation where the King of Mississippi gave his blood to the werewolves. The packmaster, Colonel Flood, says there’s nothing he can do about the king – he wants to ignore the problem and just wait for it go away. That’s a can-do attitude!
Layfayette and Sam’s brother Tommy are smoking cigars together when his mother’s nurse Jesus shows up. Layfayette is having a hard time accepting that Jesus came over just to see him. Nice to see Layfayette flustered for a change.
Tara is tied up again by Franklin and he’s having a major crying jag over the idea that she tried to leave him. She mollifies him by apologizing profusely and acting like she wants to be with him. That girl has some good acting skills.
The king questions Bill on why he was investigating Sookie and her genealogy. It appears that Bill is no longer on the king’s list of favorites since he has him escorted to his room under guard. Bill finds out that Sookie is in Mississippi and escapes, racing out to try and warn her.
Jason sees Crystal in Merlotte’s parking lot – it looks like she showed up after all. She tells him to stay away from her but they end up making out by the water. Good old Jason, he’s still got his mojo after all.
At the king’s house, Lorena comes down the stairs and sees Eric. They both say “YOU” with disdain so it appears there is some history there.
Bill shows up at Alcide’s place trying to warn Sookie off but in her own annoying way, she won’t listen to him and keeps demanding an explanation. Just then, the king and his minions show up, planning to take Sookie with them. This week’s episode ends with a werewolf attacking Sookie, who knocks him off with a blast of white light, much to the king’s surprise and pleasure. It looks like Sookie has become a hot commodity in the vampire world.
Bill Ditches Sookie in True Blood Episode 4 – 9 Crimes
Posted by: | Comments
This week’s episode had some great one (or two) liners. It was another great show especially with a hot fantasy scene between Eric and Sookie. Let’s take a look:
The 10 Best Quotes from Tonight’s Episode
1. “That’s the best sex I’ve had in decades” Lorena says as she cracks her neck, adjusting it after Bill’s Exorcist move during their sex scene at the end of last week’s episode.
2. “Shut the fuck up!” Sookie says as Bill calls and tells her he is leaving his life in Bon Temps. He is with Lorena now and they just got done making love as only two vampires can. He does not have to hold back with her like he does with Sookie. He is death, he will bring Sookie only suffering. They were doomed from the start….I think you actually hear her heart breaking.
3. “I don’t have a nut sack” Sookie responds to Alcide when he says relationships kick you in the nut sack as he tries to console her after Bill’s brutal breakup phone call.
4. “At least let me go put on a shirt” Alcide says..…NOOOOOOOOOO!
5. “Sometimes I think that boys cheese done slid off his cracker” Tommy’s mother says after Sam catches Tommy trying to break into him safe. “That boy makes my ass itch” Tommy’s father contributes.
6. “Can all vampires fly?” Sookie asks Eric as he appears dangling in thin air outside her upper story window. “Can all humans sing?” Eric replies and they proceed to the beginning of a hot sex scene that ends up being Eric’s fantasy. He’s got it bad for her.
7. “I can’t stop thinking about you” Franklin tells Tara when he brings her flowers as she’s sitting tied up in the bathroom. He duct tapes the flowers into her hands. This guy is too creepy…
8. “My folks won’t be coming around anymore” Sam tells Arlene to which Terry replies, “You sure they know that? Because they’re grilling in the parking lot”.
9. “Get your fucking hands off me dead man”, Calvin says to Eric as Eric lifts him up by the neck, throwing Calvin’s people off Layfayette who they were beating up. Eric says “let’s go Rue Paul” after he trashes all the troublemakers. What a pair these two make.
10. “This is kidnapping” Tara says as she and Franklin are driving down the road with her flowers taped into her hands. “This is opportunity” Franklin tells her as she begs him to tell her where they are going. I think Tara is in some serious trouble.
And of course, no episode of True Blood is complete without a naked man appearing somewhere. Sam finds Tommy lying naked out in the woods and they have a talk. It looks like these two might be forming a bond. Or is Tommy just being deceptive again?
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!
