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.
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!

A New Guest Writer and a New Forum!
Posted by: | CommentsWe’ve been really busy this week at the Best Fantasy Stories site – I have 2 announcements to make:
-We have a True Blood forum!
-We have a new guest writer!
The Forum
The last time I checked, the article titled “What The Heck is a Maenad” had 349 comments! Whew! Because it’s becoming cumbersome for folks to get through the comments we decided to put up a forum where True Blood fans could congregate and chew the fat. If you’re like me, after each episode of True Blood you desperately start looking forward to the next episode. I can’t tell you how many times during the week I think about the plot, the characters, and what might happen the next week. It’s like, um . . . . an addiction.
Okay, I’ll admit it – I’m completely addicted to True Blood.
If you can relate, then check out the new forum called the True Blood Rehab Center. The Rehab Center is a place to meet other addicts (uh, I mean, fans) who need their regular fix of the TV show. Like all forums you simply register with an email address. We’ve simplified the process so it’s really easy to use. NOTE: if you’re running IE you’ll see that there’s some odd text at the bottom of the forum page. Just ignore it – the programmer is working to fix it.
Remember, the first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem!
Our Guest Writer
I’m pleased to announce a new guest writer – Kitty Kat! If you’ve been keeping up with the wonderful comments at the site then you already know her. Because of Kat’s insightful and witty comments about True Blood we asked her to review the remaining episodes in the season. She agreed!
To learn more about Kitty Kat’s theories on True Blood, read the following (hilarious) interview:
BestFantasyStories (BFS): People love to speculate about Maryann the maenad. Do you think she’ll be around next season?
Kitty Kat (KK): I think we’ll be seeing a lot of Maryann next season. From the spoilers I’ve found, there is going to be one heck of a cliffhanger involving Tara in the grips of our notorious maenad.
BFS: What’s up with Eggs? Do you think he’s an innocent pawn or something more diabolical?
KK: Innocent, not so much. But, unlike DaGreatest Detective, I do not think he’s a god. I think he’s a hustler that is being used and is in Maryann’s grips as Tara soon will be. But I was wrong about Daphne being the pig, too. I thought it was Carl. DaGreatest thinks he’s a god, others say he’s Satan (in a Sunday hat), some say a demon. All we can say for sure is he has some rockin’ abs!
BFS: Do you think there’s something special about Andy Bellefluer since he doesn’t seem to be affected by Maryann?
KK: Poor Andy. He just can’t get any respect. It’s enough to drive a man to drinking! Nothing super natural about that poor lug. I’m hoping he’ll be proven right, and then get is fat booty to a “meeting.”
BFS: Is Eric falling in love with Sookie or does he have a more sinister agenda in mind?
KK: Don’t suggest unkind things about my make believe boyfriend! He really likes Sookie, but by his own admission he doesn’t know what love is. But what’s love got to do with it anyway? We just want to see the boy naked.
BFS: If Eric walked into your bedroom tonight, what would you say to him?
KK: I guess I’d say, “Hello, Eric. This is my husband, John. He was just leaving.”
True Blood Limerick: Sam and Tara’s First Time

Since the True Blood series is so popular I thought it would be fun to create a limerick about 2 of its characters, Sam and Tara. Here’s a limerick for Episode 3 – Mine:
_______________________________________________
While singing the “My Life Sucks” blues,
Tara made Sam an offer he couldn’t refuse.
She said “we’re not perfectly matched”,
“But let’s have sex – no strings attached”,
“We can blame everything on the booze.”

True Blood Episode 11 Review: To Love Is To Bury
Posted by: | Comments
Bill drained the innocent young woman Jessica as ordered by The Magister for his punishment for staking a vampire in order to save Sookie. So here’s how vampires are made in True Blood:
- the human is drained of their blood until they’re almost at the point of death;
- the vampire then gives the human some of their blood;
- the human is then buried in the ground;
- the human rises as a vampire.
Pam is directed to ensure Bill follows through with making Jessica into a vampire. Bill, forever the gentleman, decides to help Jessica through her transformation. Initially, after Jessica rises she doesn’t understand what she’s become. But once she does, she’s ECSTATIC that she’s a vampire. She starts talking about killing people that have been mean to her. Actually, it’s clear that Jessica is a spoiled brat. In the last episode I felt sorry for her. I now hope she falls onto a wooden stake. It’s clear she’s going to be one of those vampires that attacks and kills humans just for the fun of it.
Sookie is afraid that the killer is now targeting her as his next victim. When reading the mind of her attacker in the last episode she saw the uniform of one of the murder victims. The woman in question, Cindy Marshall, apparently worked at a place called Big Patty’s Pies. Sookie enlists the aid of Sam and together they visit the pie shop where they obtain information about Cindy. Turns out she used to associate with vampires like the other victims.
Sookie and Sam later visit the police station where Sookie reads the mind of a police officer and blackmails him into faxing a photo of Cindy’s brother (Drew Marshall) to the Bon Temps sheriff.
Jason, upset with Amy’s staking of the nice vampire Eddie, helps her clean up the gross vampire residue. They were using towels but quite frankly, they needed to use a couple of shovels. Jason is finally seeing more of Amy’s dark side but appears to be unable to cut her off. As such he and Amy do “one last vial” of “V” together.
When Tara gets pulled over by a police officer she tells the officer, Kenya, that she had a car accident in order to avoid hitting a naked woman standing in the middle of the road with a large pig. As a result she winds up in jail on a drunk driving charge; she’s visited by her mother who not only refuses to bail her out but also kicks her out of the house. She’s eventually bailed out by a mysterious stranger named Maryann Forrester, who appears to be a very wealthy social worker. She also looks strangely like the naked woman that was in the middle of the road. She invites Tara to come to her home. Tara agrees.
Lafayette visits his state senator buddy at a political event. During a conversation with the senator Lafayette points out the hypocrisy of what the senator is telling the public. The senator is publicly anti-vampire and anti-gay but is privately both a “V” user and gay. Lafayette’s conversation with the senator is photographed.
Sookie Sookie Now. Didn’t Bill tell Sookie he’d be back as soon as possible? So please tell me why Sookie is convinced Bill will never return. And tell me why she decides to engage in some lip locking with Sam. Bill walks in on them, attacks Sam, pisses Sookie off, and gets his invitation to enter her home rescinded.
Meet Jason The Idiot. Jason calls the police and turns himself in for the murders of the local women. He thinks he may have killed them while on “V”. Jason tells them “I don’t want to hurt anybody else. Lock me up.”
The episode ends with a ditzy clerk at the police officer totally ignoring the fax that contains the photo of Cindy’s brother. Do you recognize him?
Funniest line:
“This is a Texas Special Sawdust Pie. Nobody ordered that.”
The entire Sookie Stackhouse True Blood Box Set is now on sale. Check it out.
