Watch True Blood Episode 9 Trailer: Plaisir D’Amour
Posted by: | CommentsHere’s a video preview of what happens in True Blood Episode 9 – Plaisir D’Amor. Plaisir D’Amor is a French love song that means “The Joys of Love.” An English translation of the song is provided below the clip:
PLAISIR D’AMOUR (English translation)
The joys of love last but a moment.
The grief of love lasts a lifetime.
I’ve given up everything for the ungrateful Sylvia.
She is leaving me and taking another lover.
The joys of love last but a moment.
The grief of love lasts a lifetime.
“As long as that water flows gently
Towards that brook at the edge of the meadow,
I’ll love you,” Sylvia repeated to me.
The water still flows. She has changed though.
The joys of love last but a moment.
The grief of love lasts a lifetime.
True Blood Episode 8 Review: Fourth Man in the Fire

Mud People Do It In The Dirt: Sookie, frustrated and scared that Bill might be one of the vampires burned to death by a local vigilante group, lashes out at Tara. Sookie (who I think over-reacted a bit) visits Bill’s grave after dark to mourn his death. Or, his re-death. What follows is a dirty, somewhat animalistic scene between she and Bill (oh yeah, Bill is alive, or rather, he’s still dead).
And once again, Sookie needs to stop with the kiss-and-tell. And she’s becoming really defensive with Sam when it comes to her relationship with Bill.
Oh Yes They Call Him the Streak: Sam denies running through the woods naked. Come on, we’d know that butt anywhere. If it was him I’m not too happy with the fact that he used Terry Bellefleur’s shell-shocked condition as a way to convince him that he (Terry) was seeing things.
Be Careful What You Wish For: Sookie learns that Bill’s protectiveness causes the death of a family member. She’s shocked and frightened at his actions and has trouble keeping her calm, especially in wake of her grandmother’s recent death.
New V Sex Birth Control: Jason discovers that you don’t need to actually have intercourse to have sex while hopped up on V. Although convinced he and Amy shared a great sexual experience he learns that they barely touched one another.
Seeing Is Believing: Tara is absolutely amazed at the effect the excorcism has has on her mother’s behavior. On the surface, it looks as if Mrs. Thornton has kicked her alcoholism and turned a new leaf. After her nasty behavior toward Sam, a church lady, and Sookie, Tara seeks out the local voodoo priestess so she can rid her of her own “evil” ways.
Seeing Is Not Believing: Amy Burley, the newest cast member of True Blood, charms the locals at Merlotte’s bar. Looks like she might be the new waitress there.
However, all is not as it seems with Amy. We learn that she’s as addicted to V as Jason, perhaps more so because it appears that she’s been using it longer. Yes, Jason put himself in danger at Fangtasia in pursuit of V but Amy’s willing to pursue even more dangerous options to obtain the substance. In my review of True Blood Episode 7 I predicted that there was a darker side to Amy. We’re seeing that now.
Vampire Couch Potato? Lafayette’s V connection turns out to be a lonely, introverted geekish looking guy who’s looking for a true relationship. Who knew vampires had relationship problems like the rest of us?
When Eric Calls .. . Eric Northman, the hunky vampire owner of Fangtasia, instructs Bill to bring Sookie to his bar so she can determine the identity of a thief that’s been stealing money from the business. Sookie reluctantly agrees and reads the minds of several of Eric’s human employees in order to locate the thief. When she attempts to read an employee named Ginger’s mind she discovers that part of the girl’s memory has been erased. By a vampire. Who happens to be in the room at the time.
Question: where is Eric’s European accent? The actor, Alexander Skarsgård, actually has an accent in real life – why not let him use it on the show? Why Americanize the guy? He’s not American.
Weirdest Scene: Bill and Sookie getting it on in the graveyard.
Funniest Line: Sam to Tara: “Sometimes, you grunt.”

There’s Something About Amy: New True Blood Cast Member
Posted by: | Comments
In True Blood Episode 7 Burning House of Love Jason Stackhouse meets a mysterious young lady at Fangtasia, the vampire bar that Eric Northman owns in Shreveport. She comes to Jason’s rescue when he approaches a vampire bartender about obtaining vampire blood.
Meet Amy Burley (portrayed by Lizzy Caplan), the newest cast member of True Blood.
Amy lures Jason away from the bar by telling him she has a stash of “V” that she’ll share with him. They make their way back to Jason’s place where Amy explains that V comes from the earth and is “nature’s greatest gift.” She makes a big production out of grinding two drops of vampire blood with aspirin; what should be a simple process turns into something ritualistic. She then prays over the substance, gives thanks to the earth from which it came, and snorts a line of the powder up her nose. Jason follows suit.
From here, things get weird.
What follows is reminiscent of a Cheech and Chong movie. We hear birds chirping and see fuzzy psychedelic images of Jason and Amy. Everything seems to move in slow motion. When they touch one another, multi-colored sparkles appear in the air between them.
So who is this Amy Burley anyway?
Here are a few excerpts about Amy from the Charlaine Harris book Dead Until Dark. We never “see” Amy in the book, she’s simply referenced a few times:
According to HBO: “this season Lizzy Caplan (Amy) will return to television with a strong recurring role in Alan Ball’s new HBO series True Blood.” So, unlike what happens in the book, it sounds like we’ll see more of her new age character this season.
Here are some questions I have about Amy Burley:
- Was Amy simply in the right place at the right time for Jason’s rescue or was it more of a planned event? Was Amy waiting for Jason or just any poor sucker looking for V?
- How many women walk around with a mortar and pestle in their handbags? Hmmn. Perhaps a witch that needs to whip up a quick eye of newt souffle?
- What were those Lucky Charms type sparkles that appeared between Jason and Amy whenever they touched one another?
Want to know what I think? I think she’s a magical character with a dark, evil side side. I think she’ll turn on Jason if provoked and show her true nature. I believe she’ll play a prominent role in the series because I predict she’ll eventually get a waitress job at Merlotte’s and pique Sam’s interest, thereby making Tara jealous. This might be the catalyst that makes Tara visit the voodoo doctor who correctly guessed that Tara has intimacy issues with men. Hmmn, this could get interesting.
If she’s really a magical creature Sookie should be able to determine her otherworldly qualities by probing her mind.
Overall, I think Amy is on a mission with a hidden agenda that could harm Jason and other townspeople. Of course, I could be wrong.
Let’s watch her closely during the next episode . . . .
