True Blood Episode 9 – I Will Rise Up!
Posted by: | Comments
As mentioned in an earlier post, Kitty Kat will be reviewing the remaining episodes of True Blood for us. Therefore, without further ado, here’s Kitty Kat’s review of Episode 9 – I Will Rise Up!
___________________________________
Our naughty Viking strikes again! Tricking Sookie into sucking on him, and that sly little grin, who doesn’t love that? Sookie can be such a whiner sometimes. Did she really need to ingest his blood to have a sex dream about him? I’m not sure it’s Bill that’s dead. Poor Bill, I’m afraid he just isn’t going to be able to compete, and I think he knows it. Classic love triangle, glorious!
Speaking of glorious, after 2000 years, Godric finally meets the sun. I’m forgiving Sookie for some of her whining just because she was so sweet to Godric and Eric in their tender moment (tear). Sookie has been redeemed in my eyes, hope Godric found redemption, too.
As for our Egg-nigma, I think Lafayette has the golden ticket. “He’s poison, and he ain’t never gonna change.” Fantastic, eyelashes and all. As for Eggs being a god, our little drag queen sure “punched” a hole in that theory.
On to Hoyt and Jessica, how cute are they? Hoyt tried to set his mama straight, but in the end, he had to leave the nest. I bet he won’t have any trouble finding another “nest”. Think vampire Bill is up for a house guest?
Isn’t it great that no one had a fly swatter handy this evening? What a clever way to make a jail break. Good thinking, Sam. I guess every dog does have his day! Any thoughts out there as to how he’s finally going to rid himself, and the town, of that pesky maenad?
And finally, because Dallas is my hometown, I have some closing thoughts about the Texas/Dallas stereotypes portrayed in Season 2. Some are dead-on, no pun intended. Crazy right-wing churches, we’ve got ‘em. Stepford wives like Sarah, we’ve got those, too. Stupid Aggies like Luke, well, we don’t tell Aggie jokes for nothing. Stock piles of weapons, sure. Who doesn’t like the second amendment? But as for the “Dallas” wardrobe, black western wear? Now that is just mean. The Dallas nest happens to be in a very upscale neighborhood. You’d be as likely to see black, leather, western wear in that neighborhood as you would to see, well, actual vampires. It just isn’t done! That’s profiling, and profiling is wrong.
Check out my “coming out” interview in a previous article. I discuss several predictions about True Blood!
Also, check out the new forum called the True Blood Rehab Ctr. It’s a great place to meet other True Blood fans and discuss the episodes!

Best Eric and Sookie Scenes – “Words”
Posted by: | CommentsDid you watch last week’s True Blood episode called Timebomb? If so you know that Eric arrived at The Fellowship of the Sun compound determined to save Godric but was told instead to escort Sookie out of the building and “not shed any blood.”
While carrying out Godric’s orders Eric and Sookie had one of the best scenes this entire season. Here’s the dialogue:
Sookie: “Godric is your maker isn’t he?”
Eric: “Don’t use words you don’t understand.”
Sookie: “You have a lot of love for him.”
Eric: Pauses. “Don’t use words I don’t understand.”
Here’s the short (but oh so memorable) scene:
What do you think? Will we learn that tall, strong, and handsome Eric the Viking actually has a heart?
True Blood Episode 8 – Timebomb
Posted by: | Comments
Here’s what happens in Episode 8: Timebomb
Shot Through The Heart, and You’re to Blame. You Give Love a Bad Name. Sarah is as dense as Jason. Okay, the second shot was ruthless. By the way, Sarah must spend a fortune on hairspray. Her big hair stays in place regardless of the humidity.
Jason Plays Rambo
I’m really proud of how Jason helped save Sookie . . . . if only he wasn’t using a paintball gun.
I Knew Daphne Was Heartless
Okay, sorry for the bad pun.
Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares
Maryann is an all around gal. Not only does she throw a mean orgy, she also knows how to cook! Just don’t ask her where the meat came from.
” . . . and those from above can serve those down below.” (Sweeny Todd song)
Dallas Vampires Have Style
The Dallas vampires made a great entrance tonight. They came in lined up in a perfect V formation. Now that’s what I call organization.
You’re So Good, I Could Just Eat You Up!
Tara and Eggs share an interesting feast. And then beat each other up.
Like a Virgin, Touched For the Very First Time
Poor Jessica will be a virgin for ever. And I do mean, forever.
Eric’s Maker is Cute
Is it just me or is Godric a cutie?
And here’s the Funniest Line from True Blood Episode 8: “They say I had sex with a pine tree. It must be true because I got scratches all over my p___r.”
Questions
1. What did Isabel say when she was mocking Bill’s love for Sookie? I couldn’t get all of what she said. Help me fill in the blank. She said something like: “She’s like a _________ you can’t switch off. Blah blah blah blah. And then 10 minutes later, blah.” What’s the missing word?
2. Did you know that Miss Jeanette’s heart was missing when they found her dead body in the back of Andy Bellefleur’s car! Did I miss something?

True Blood Episode 7 – Release Me
Posted by: | Comments
Top 10 Highlights from Episode 7: Release Me
#10 - And Fly Away, Fly Away, Fly Away Home! Sam escapes from Maryann by turning into a bird and flying away!
#9 - Full Frontal Nudity: My, my. True Blood believes in showing everything. The orgy scene is pretty darn revealing.
#8 - Don’t Hate Me Because I’m a Killer: You know, I’m not hating on Lorena. She’s one of the true vampires in the show because she embraces what she is: a cold blooded killer that sees humans as food. Vampires who have maintained their humanity are the exception, not the rule.
#7 - Jason’s Got Some Serious Mojo: Jason totally rocked Sarah’s world. After his lovin’ she decides to leave her husband. It’s like that scene from Harlem nights after one of the gangsters has sex with a casino girl. He calls his wife on the phone and says:
“Yeah, Barbara, it’s Richie. Yeah lookit, I ain’t never coming home. Take it easy.”
#6 - I Like My Eggs Over Easy: I’ll say it again – Eggs has a serious body. Too bad he’s a pawn of Maryann’s. Tara’s headed in the same direction.
#5 - Maryann Loves a Challenge: Daphne tells Sam that Maryann is after him “because you got away from her once. She can’t control you.”
#4 - Hello, My Name is Hugo the Traitor: We learn that Hugo is working undercover for The Fellowship of the Sun and deliberately led Sookie into a trap.
#3 - Maryann Mystery Solved:According to Daphne “Maryann is a maenad. Maenads are handmaidens of Dionysus.” “She’s immortal Sam. There ain’t no point in fighting her ’cause you’ll never win.”
#2 - Shot Through the Heart: Sarah Newlin shoots Jason. I assume it’s a tranquilizer gun.
#1 - Stab Through the Heart: Eggs stabs Daphne while under Maryann’s control!
And here are the Funniest Lines from True Blood Episode 7
-Steve Newlin saying: “I’m not the monster that the vampire-loving media makes me out to be.”
-Andy Bellefleur telling the sheriff about the orgy: “and the whole town had these big black saucer eyes like zombies!”
-Maryann while holding a dead rabbit saying: “I saw this thing hop by last night and I though hmmn, yum, breakfast!”
-Lafayette to a prospective V customer: “This shit is going faster than fritters at a fat farm.”
Questions
1. Does anyone know what they were chanting at the orgy?
2. Why did the orgy people start moaning when Maryann stopped shimmering to run after Sam?
3. Don’t you think Eric looks much better with shorter hair? That man makes me feel all “anxious” in my naughty bits, if you know what I mean.

Daphne, You’re a Pig – More True Blood Mystery
Posted by: | Comments
In True Blood Episode 6 (Hard-Hearted Hannah) we finally learn that Daphne has been wooing Sam as part of a plan to entrap him for Maryann Forrester. Here are the clues that led up to the discovery:
-Daphne seems to appear out of nowhere looking for a waitressing job at Sam’s bar.
-She’s an absolutely horrible waitress.
-Daphne has a scratch on her back that looks just like the one Sookie got when she was attacked in the woods. When asked about it she said “I don’t know what attacked me. I was sick for weeks and weeks.” Now, get real. Sookie almost died when she got scratched on her back like that.
-Daphne is a shifter who likes to take the form of a pig.
At the end of episode 6 we see Daphne leading Sam to the orgy taking place in Sookie’s back yard. It’s like old home week at the orgy – everyone’s there: Tara, Eggs, Andy Bellefleur, Terry Bellefleur, and Arlene. Maryann turns to Sam and walks toward him with the head of a bull in her hands.
Questions
1. What is Maryann planning to do with the bull’s head?
2. Does Maryann have the power to wipe the memories of humans? It looks like people forget that they’ve attended her orgies. Case in point: Eggs has apparently attended one of them in the past – that’s why he led Tara to that clearing in the woods. Notice that the rocks in the clearing were formed into a circle, just like the orgy circle we saw in Sookie’s backyard.
3. Did you notice the dagger that Maryann had? Eggs and Tara found blood on a rock in the clearing they found. Can you say human sacrifice?
4. Did anyone figure out that Daphne was evil BEFORE the last scene in episode 6? If so, what made you think she was bad?
This show just gets better and better . . . .
True Blood Season 2, Episode 6- Hard-Hearted Hannah
Posted by: | Comments
Top 10 Highlights from Episode 6: Hard-Harted Hannah
#10 - Daphne explains the scar on her back by telling Sam she was attacked while walking through the woods. She’s not sure what attacked her but “I was sick for weeks and weeks. The doctors didn’t know what was wrong with me.” Now, if you’ll remember, Sookie almost died from similar injuries; had it not been for Bill she would have. And also, Daphne is a shifter. Why would she go to human doctors with an injury like that? They’d wonder what type of animal created it. Daphne is full of it.
#9 - Orgy, orgy, orgy! Maryann throws a wild party while Tara and Eggs are out of the house.
#8 - Eric is seriously determined to break up Sookie and Bill.
#7 - We get a disturbing glance into Bill’s past life with Lorena.
#6 - Eggs has a moment of serious deja vu while he and Tara are driving. And what’s up with Eggs having to ask Maryann for “permission” to go with Tara to get a hot water heater? By the way, yum! I didn’t realize Eggs had such a hot body!
#5 - Looks like Hoyt is really smitten with baby vamp Jessica.
#4 - I really like Eric, but I really HATE what he’s done to Lafayette. Thank goodness for Terry Bellefleur, who can obviously relate to the trauma Lafayette is suffering through.
#3 - Okay, so it looks like Jason and Sarah are finally getting it on.
#2 - It was clearly a bad idea for Sookie to go to the Fellowship of the Sun looking for Godric. Why in the world would she think they wouldn’t know about her? Her ordeal with Rene the killer would have been all over the news.
#1 - We finally learn that Daphne’s been working for Maryann.
And here’s the Funniest Line from Episode 6:
Sookie commenting on first seeing Sarah Newlin: “You know, in person, she looks like vanilla puddin.”

Posted by: | Comments
Top 10 Highlights from Episode 5: Never Let Me Go
#10 Oh Bambi Daphne, What Big Eyes You Have. We finally learn Daphne’s secret.
#9 Two of a Kind: Sookie tries to get Barry the Bellboy to talk about the special talent they have in common. But he’s having none of it.
#8 Ah, Sookie Sookie Now: Bill and Sookie get busy while in Dallas. Um, hello, wasn’t Jessica in the next room? And doesn’t she have vampiric hearing?
#7 Ah Nookie Nookie Now: Back at the Fellowship of the Sun boot camp, Sarah Newlin gets up close and personal with Jason. Calgon, take me away!
#6 Real Love: I am SO loving the sweet relationship between Sookie and Bill. Bill’s affection for Sookie is sincere and genuine.
#5 Eric The Viking: We learn why Eric is so determined to locate Godric, the missing Dallas vampire. Turns out he’s Eric’s sire.
#4 I Put a Spell On You: What’s up with Maryann telling Tara that she doesn’t have a home because the home she was living in was actually that of a client’s? And hello, did she really think she, Carl, and Eggs could move in to Sookie’s house? Tara initially says no but later, after Maryann turns up the heat by making the staff at Merlotte’s mad at Tara, Tara gives in. Now, what will Sookie think about her new house guests when she returns home?
#3 And They Call It Puppy Love: Jessica and Hoyt seem to be genuinely attracted to one another. However, Hoyt has GOT to move away from home. Living with mama ain’t sexy.
#2 Everybody Gets Busy Tonight: Sam seems to really be connecting with Daphne. But I don’t trust that girl.
#1 Maryann’s Hidden Agenda: Why IS Maryann so interested in Tara? Is there more to Tara than meets the eye? Here’s a thought: does Tara have some special talent that Maryann wants to exploit?
