And They Call It Puppy Love: Well, we finally discover why that strange dog kept appearing in so many of the previous True Blood episodes. Once Sookie learns Sam’s shocking secret she starts wondering how much she really knows about the world around her. I find it amazing that Sookie is so freaked out about Sam’s true nature and the fact that other supernatural creatures exist since she’s so accepting of Bill and his kind. Can you say hypocrite?
True Colors: Tara goes through with the ritual to remove the evil spirit from her body. It’s pretty gross at times but also convincingly scary. Tara is convinced that her inner demon has been removed and celebrates with her mother, Lettie Mae. However, she soon learns that Miss Jeanette has a secret; her dilemma now is whether she should tell her mother about it and possibly bring about a setback.
She later gets drunk and has a car accident while attempting to avoid hitting a strange woman on the side of the road. Pay attention to the woman – we’ll see more of her later. Did you hear the hog sounds? That’s also important.
Chicken Soup for the Soulless: Amy attempts to convince Jason that they should be nicer to Eddie, the vampire they kidnapped, so they can eventually untie him, keep him as a pet, and have a lifelong supply of vampire blood.
Jason, while talking to Eddie, learns that Amy is only pretending to like Eddie. This serves to place some doubts in Jason’s mind about Amy.
Jason and Amy argue about what to do with Eddie; Amy wants to kill him because she knows that if they let him go he’ll surely kill both of them (well, at least Amy). Jason’s not a killer so he wants to let him go. He attempts to do this when Amy attacks Eddie. This doesn’t end well folks.
I Know What You Did Last Summer: Sookie, while attending Arlene and Rene’s engagement party opens her mind and “hears” some disturbing thoughts related to the recent murders in town. She’s attacked while alone in the bar but doesn’t get a chance to see the face of the killer.
If The Stake Don’t Fit You Must Acquit: Bill stands trial for killing Long Shadow, the Fangtasia vampire bartender guilty of stealing from Eric Northman, the bar’s owner. Bill is accused of killing “a higher life form” in order to defend a human. The standard penalty for such an offense is 5 years in a coffin chained with silver however the “majester” decides that Bill’s punishment should be more “creative.” He orders Bill to turn an innocent human named Jessica. The scene that follows is really heart wrenching.

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.

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.”

True Blood Episode 7 Review – Burning House of Love

Here’s what happens in True Blood Episode 7 – Burning House of Love:
No Morning After Cuddles for Sookie: Well, Sookie is no longer a virgin thanks to vampire Bill. Unfortunately, she’ll never have morning after sex with him because during the day he has to sleep in a hole dug inside a closet.
Skeletons In the Closet: While sharing a bath she reveals that her Uncle Bartlett used to touch her inappropriately. The event still haunts Sookie but actually affects Bill even worse. As such, he exacts his own form of vengeance on Sookie’s behalf.
Jason “Fix”ation with V: Jason visits Lafayette seeking more V but is turned away. After attempting to steal his grandmother’s jewelry (Sookie catches him before he gets away) he eventually makes his way to Fangtasia, the vampire bar in Shrevport, hoping to obtain more of the substance. Fortunately for him, Amy Burley, a young woman at the bar, stops him from getting hurt. She goes back to his place with him. I like Amy’s character. She’s an intelligent girl who comes from what sounds to be an affluent family. However, she’s also reveres the magical nature of V and shares her philosophy on the substance with Jason while they snort it.
There may be more to Amy than meets the eye. She may be a magical or supernatural creature. I’m sure we’ll see more of her in later episodes.
Sookie Kisses and Tells: Now tell me how much sense this makes: 2 women have been killed because of their intimate association with vampires. Sookie’s own grandmother was killed because Sookie, the intended victim, wasn’t at home at the time. But yet, Sookie announces to the entire Merlotte bar that she’s had sex with Bill. What was she thinking?
The Devil in Miss Thornton: Tara’s mother, convinced there’s a demon inside her making her an alcoholic, convinces Tara to pay $445 for an exorcism. It’s sad to see her mother so convinced that some evil spirit inside her is making her drink. Tara sees this and agrees to give her the money and takes her to the voodoo doctor. The ritual itself is brilliantly filmed and dramatized. It’s dark, mysterious, and thoroughly entertaining. It’s also pretty convincing. I’m thinkin’ maybe Tara’s mother was on to something . . . .
Tara Has Intimacy Issues, Part II: Although Sam and Tara are supposed to be friends with benefits Sam clearly wants more of an emotional commitment from Tara. Tara, one assumes because of her childhood, has trouble expressing her feelings.
Sam, My Hero: Malcolm and his killer vampire buddies decide to go looking for “food” at Merlotte’s. Not the synthetic Tru-Beverage stuff, but the real deal. Since Sam doesn’t take too kindly to people wanting to suck on the neck of his customers he has a stand-off with Malcolm. Before things get too much out of hand Bill appears and intervenes. He leaves with the thugs in order to get them out of the bar.
Come on Baby, Light My Fire: Malcolm and his vampire thugs seriously underestimate the vigilante nature of some of the human thugs in Bon Temps. You see, they don’t cotton to strangers trying to threaten and harass the townspeople. That’s their job. As such, a few of them take matters into their own hands and well . . . . let’s just say that Malcolm won’t be around for Season 2.
Weirdest Scene in the Episode: Sam Merlotte running naked through the woods. I really like Sam’s character but Jason has a nicer butt.
