[Teitr Styrr]

Holy crap, that last scene!

[Goalie31]

Yeesh...Lorena sure is flexible...

[mochamajesty]

They expect us to believe that Alcide's ex chose Cooter over him? Seriously?
Franklin creeps me out.
Did everyone else see dollar signs in the Mickins' eyes when they walked into Merlott's?
Poor Tara. She can't even be happy after great sex.
Pam's "Fangtasia and this had better be good." Made me laugh for several minutes. I hope to see more Pam/Jessica interaction.
2nd best bromance on the show: Hoyt and Jason, right behind Hoyt and Andy.
Bill and Lorena? WTF? I am really not caring about this storyline, although I love Talbot and his snootiness.

And they are going to make us wait 2 weeks for the next episode? I hope I misheard.

[Last Time Lord]

Wow, that ending sure was chock full of WTF.

I laughed at the Sheriff's "I am DONE with this job" spiel.

I still laugh whenever I see a werewolf in Wolf form, because I keep expecting to hear Nostalgia Critic say This.

[Demian]

And they are going to make us wait 2 weeks for the next episode? I hope I misheard.

They never air original episodes on holiday weekends.

[myname2use4now]

That Lorena is one twisted chick.

[Moosejaw]

Vamps can glamour people into inviting them into homes? You have to wonder what the point of the admission rule is then.

ps. What is the timeline on this show again? It doesn't seem possible for Arlene's baby to be Rene's but it definitely isn't Terry's.

[VicariousTVLife]

You probably didn't mishear, next Sunday is the 4th of July, they don't want to compete with that. On the other hand, the promos they gave us for next week are fireworks enough.

That last scene was disturbing. In fact, you know it's disturbing when you watch it and think "Bill's going to rip her head off, right? Please rip her head off! Oh this is getting bad, it would be so much less disturbing if he just ripped her head off!"

[starleen]

Zima!

[Last Time Lord]

I'd be shocked if more than two months have passed since the pilot, especially with Bud's quitting speech.

[VicariousTVLife]

Oops, double post.

The spoiler was that they shot the "most twisted sex scene ever"- It was so graphic but I had to laugh!

The timeline is that basically every episode since the premier is one to two days, so it's definitely Rene's.

[mochamajesty]

Zima!

I love Talbot. He is the only reason that I bother watching the King/Bill plot. He was more concerned about the Celtic rug than Lorena...although I probably would have had the same reaction.

You probably didn't mishear, next Sunday is the 4th of July, they don't want to compete with that. On the other hand, the promos they gave us for next week are fireworks enough.

So, my screaming "TWO WEEKS!" at the top of my lungs for several seconds was not in vain. :) Aaah...I may have to purchase some dvds to get me through this.

[alanch]

Oh my God... that ending... dear... Lorena does touch some buttons in Bill... all I kept yelling to the screen was "Throw her to the door! Let her burn!" But the way it turned out, it was too much.

I am SO not interested in Sam's storyline: I also saw the money signs in the Micken's eyes. As soon as the man got drunk, the vitriol started pouring out. I hope they solve it quickly.

Jason is stupid. Period. Still cute though.

Poor Jessica... I wonder how much did she tell to Franklin? She must be so scared right now... and Pam, I adore that vamp but she should have sensed the danger of a missing body. But, eh, I guess sastifying Yvetta was more important. Scratch the "I guess" from last sentence.

And Sookie: THIS is the Sookie from the first season. She inmediately knew what buttons to push and how to "suck" the info out of the werewolf with him completely clueless about it. Not like last season where apparently she had forgotten her abilities. I loved her "conversation" with Alcide, but he needs to be more fleshed out. He looks like a good deal for her, though.

Who else thought of humanity seeping through Eric when he gave Lafayette the Corvette? IDK, it doesn't so much like Eric to be giving out gifts... but I do get the idea of tangling him so he can keep him close. Or blame him for the blood selling.

I... still don't know if I liked this episode. It was good, but... man, that last scene...

[jazz]

So is that the vampire version of putting a bag over her head?

[Sedruol]

Franklin is quickly turning into one of my favorite "new" characters. His interaction with Jessica was priceless.

Love that Lorena catching on fire wasn't a dream. Bill is sure going to dark places this season. That last scene was pure nihilism.

Also loved when Eric winked when he mentioned the "next time" Sookie shoots him.

[MandaKeeks]

Can Tara ever catch a break?? Franklin is seriously creepy! I think its in his eyes!!!

I am a little lost on what happened with Sam in his trailer, was that the black garbage bag with all the money he took from Maryanne? And that was his brother who flew inside?

As for that last scene, wtf?!

[kechara]

What's Zima?

[wordnerd]

I can't believe I just saw what I saw.

Zima was the 1990's answer to Smirnoff Ice... only pussies and/or girls drank it.

[ClosingTime]

Dear Lord, when is Lorena's maker going to show up and tell her to let it go already and leave Bill alone? That last scene was all sorts of messed up, but I did feel bad for Bill. He hits Lorena with a TV, lights her ass on fire and twists her head around and she still won't give up. She is determined.

So much new eye candy with the addition of Alcide now. I've seen Cooter (wtf) and I've seen Alcide, so his ex is one dumb chick to leave that behind. We know it's not for Cooter's upstanding values.

Bud had me cracking up with his quitting speech. The man is tired and wants to go sit down. I don't blame him with all of that crazy in Bon Temps.

Sookie, do you remember what happened last time you left town and gave Tara the entire house to herself? Apparently, you do not.

[Mary Sue]

When Bill and Lorena get freaky together it's just gross. Ugh. Who would have thought they could have topped the horror of the last time they were shown in bed together?

[Neka]

I..don't know if you're serious or not about the Zima. But here's the wiki link for it. I admit, I miss it. :) It's like alcoholic Sprite. I loved it. They only sell it in Japan now, apparently.

Man. The last few minutes hurt my soul. So. Very. Much.

Bill...wow... I...wow. Someone upthread said that Bill had gone to a dark place. And my immediate thought was, 'Between Lorena's thighs?' Good grief.

That was epic.

And traumatic.

I think I need an extra week to recover, anyway.

And to think, my mother wants us to watch this series together from the beginning over the Christmas holiday... I'm not sure this is a Mother/Daughter bonding experience I wanna have..

[BaronRickard]

Can someone please explain what happened in the 1868 fllashback? My cable fritzed out for a second. Did Lorena make Bill kill his wife and children?

I hate Lorena's character so. I would have done a happy dance if she really died in a fire... but no, sadly.

Zima! Ha! How elegant.

[maggy]

Well, that was disgusting. Even my hubby, who is usually inured by this type of stuff was disgusted and disturbed by the Bill and Lorena scene LOL. He was also annoyed by the abuse of Tara (with Franklin glamoring her) - he thinks it is too much.

My biggest problem with Sam's story line is that it is to 'normal' for me - this is escapist fiction for me and when I see a story-line about a leech (and I have had people who have tried to leech off of me) it just hits to close to home.

Sookie DROVE me nuts with her rushing in and doing dangerous shit and getting the men around her beat up. She seriously thought that she could take care of a rough vampire werewolf by herself? *sigh*

I'm still into the show though.

I also screamed at the tele when I found out I won't get a new episode till two weeks from now.

[Leroyiscrazy]

That last scene almost made me forget the hotness of Alcide......almost.

Tara, damn. Finally sex so good it makes your eyes roll back in your head, but it had too be with a psychotic vampper.

PAM!! enough said.

Terry had the line of the night "If I had a nickel for everytime I hear tha.....I'd have fif..fifteen cents." But his "whoo" about the baby was awesome. Too bad it's Rene's.

[askew]

Way, way too much Bill tonight. Even Lorena can't make Bill interesting. And also way too much Sam. Man, he is boring.

The rest of episode rocked. I loved the all the Eric scenes and the Tara/Sookie funeral scene.

Favorite line of the show was Sheriff Bud's "I quit."

[ReflexOne]

I'm sorry, Coot, but ... I don't think they make Zima anymore, right? Or am I correct in assuming House Husband Vamp was just taking a shot at Cooter?

Poor Cooter. You know what I've discovered about the weres? They cast the main werewolves (Cooter, Alcide) with guys who can do really good puppy-dog faces. Like, I see the "happy doggy" face when they're smiling. It's odd.

The Mickens family is TROUBLE. Horrid, horrid trouble. And I kinda wish Tommy wasn't trouble. I want Big Bro Sam to save Tommy, but I fear it's far too late for something like that. And we just met Tommy. That's annoying.

Lafayette and Eric scene? Made of win.

Also ... I find I despise Modern Lorena, but I kind of empathize with Flashback Lorena. She, as opposed to Bill, is not Worst Maker Ever!

I was hoping to find some redeeming value in Franklin, but beyond his outward manners he went through this entire episode strong-arming Tara and Jessica. Two ladies I don't want anyone strong-arming. Though his little fang-off with Jessica WAS cute. And he at least informed Jessica of some of the limitations on the home threshold. Also? I'm betting that he wouldn't have been able to pull that "invite me in" glamour on Tara if he hadn't ... you know, had that night with Tara AND learned her name. I don't know if that's an actual vampire mythology rule, but it makes me feel better than just his being able to overpower Tara's will like that.

And ... I actually enjoyed Sookie in the were bar. She knew she had backup, so of COURSE she was going to take the shortest route and go off on were-vs-vamp pride.

Having not read the books (well, only the first couple now), I do very much appreciate that they're not doing a whole "all werewolves are bad" thing. Having players on both sides of the fence is nice.

There were only a couple speed bumps for me in the pacing of this episode, and that was wonderful.

Oh, also! The King of Mississippi. He pulls off "crazy, yet off the wall, yet quietly threatening" very well. That whole finger-on-the-head-"sleep-on-it" thing? Eeeeek. It's like he's a true MASTER of the art that Sophie Anne is still learning.

Poor, poor Cooter. I do like his spiked hair and his "dress up" clothes.

[Midge]

So, let's see -

- Bill twists around around the head of the blowup doll he was humping in a story line I don't care about
- Alcide shows up to facilitate Sookie finding bill in a story line I don't care about
- Sam has let complete wastes of space into his life and surprise! they are taking advantage of him in a story line I don't care about
- Tara is being controlled by a supernatural being -AGAIN- in a story line I don't care about

I think this could be the season that loses me. I dread the entrance of Alcide because of the stupid Debbie Pelt angle. I should have never read the crappy books. That along with everything else I don;t care about may mean the end of my love for this show.

If I remember right Six Feet Under lost me in season 3 also.

Anyway, If I could have the Pam/Eric/Hoyt/Jessica/Terry/Arlene's baby/Lafaette show every week it would make me much happier.

And boy did the effect go from great - Eric and the chunk of werewolf, ew! - to laughable - Twisty Lorena, please- tonight.

[Pacodakat]

Wow.. Tara has no idea....

I may have missed some things but was Tara and Franklin the second weirdest sex of the night? Did he move at all? Did her eyes go in the back of her head like the exorcist? WTF


That last scene was sick and disturbing. Most the episode was sick and disturbing.


What is Eric doing? Why is he giving gifts? charming everyone.. for what purpose?

I felt so bad for Sam and Terry....

I think Bud has the right idea. I would get the F out of dodge.
