Nick is so right about that doll. I can believe vampires, and werewolves, and shifters, and faeries, and witches. But who the fuck gives a newborn a creepy-ass doll like that. And what's more--who actually keeps it once it's been given!?!? The whole thing reeks of a crowbarred-in plot device. And speaking of funny smells, here's Jay . . .

 

Jason Stackhouse is getting everything he deserves for being such a shitty character.

I think the Jason hateration is just show. You know you make arnah call you GHOST DADDY while you're doin' it.

And is Oz Viagra any different than Mexican Viagra?

 

The

doll

is indeed creepy and an example of just how shit the South is at giving gifts(noone ever brings up Haku's offering of roadkill @ Hondoscon).

I'm guessing that's b/c it never happened & you imagined it, much like you imagined Benny's neck looked like a vagina.

I've read the books too, but I think the show is great! I don't think something like this has to be 100% faithful to the books. Especially since the books read like a diary. Also, I dig what they've done with Tara as a character--way more interesting for TV.

 

I LOVE the evil baby scenes. They are hilarious! Also, I think Jason is a great character--he never gets away with his bullshit. He is always comically/disturbingly punished.

haha, yeah i wanna echo Space's sentiments too. shows like this and Dexter where people frequently die, but we're forced to go along with plotlines that seem to be going nowhere...i too appreciate them being tidily cleaned up.

 

 

next, the panther-family

I literally got up and cheered when

 

Tommy killed his parents! Man, the show was in DIRE need of some culling and Sam's Fam was at the top of my list of people I wanted to see dead. Would have preferred if Tommy had bitten the big one too, but I'll take what I can get!

 

 

 

THIS.

Tommy's taken the cunt torch from Jason Stackhouse and thrown some goddamned kerosene in the thing. I'm looking forward to seeing how the

skinwalkers

thing plays out though. Hell, had anyone else connected those things previously?

 

I like that they've now had

Lafayette say 'inukchuk' too, and will clearly be the combatant of the witch(who really isn't an awful person, but her vessel's a cunt). I also don't see things ending well for vampire clergy rapist.

The guy that plays Sam is a damn good actor. His posturing and mannerisms were spot on for Tommy. Speaking of which, I hope he's the next one to take a trip to the gator pit.

 

Inquisition flashbacks have been the best thing about this whole witch plot line thus far--aside from necro-Pam and warlock Mexican gramps.

 

 

Speaking of which, even money says she kills Tara's scissor sister first only to be suddenly stopped somehow before she finishes off Tara.

 

Also, anyone else not caring at all about the Stackhouses? Sooki & Eric? Yawn. Jason & Jessica? Double yawn.

It is physically impossible for me to give less of a shit about either of them.

Right!? I actually got into an argument with a friend while watching that episode! During those scenes I mentioned how Sam is an incredible actor, because he captured such subtle mannerisms and intonations.

 

My friend's reply: "Nah man, they just dubbed him over with Tommy's voice. That's Tommy's voice."

 

Me: "Yeah, he's that good, your brain is questioning what you are hearing, but believe me that's fucking Sam!"

 

We actually ran back the DVR a couple times, much to the chagrin of the other six or so people that were there :2T:.

 

Speaking of which, I hope he's the next one to take a trip to the gator pit.

 

Amen

 

Bring on Skinwalker Sam!! THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!!

i too was really surprised that was Sam the whole time. guy's good.

 

 

also, it's time us guys accepted that eric fucking sookie halfway across creation, like lumberjack guy banging on biker broad like a screendoor in a tropical storm, is fan service possibly not meant for our gender.

 

jason im oddly interested in, plight-wise, just to see if he does the right thing by his boy here. might be a moot point since all the vamps are dumb right now with this I LOVE THE SUN business. necromancers are good at what they do, ill give them that.

 

oh yeah, anyone else wondering how this town's gonna coexist when the witch is dead? there's gonna have to be some kinda weird truce, and bill's right: after russel's stunt on the news & such, vamps cant be too pissy that the humans united in a "stop raping/eating us" campaign.

man, there's gotta be focus groups with their finger on my pulse here: ive been waiting for Jason to die and free up his career to play a young GW jr in a bio-pic forever now. this is literally their last chance since when he joined that church/cult to make me give a shit about his plight, and they're starting to make me care about Terra again, so...one more chance.

caught up, and what the fuck is going on

 

 

ok so sam's brother skinwalking and catching a beating (and sam hopefully beating the grease out of these stupid wolves) sounds like the highlight for me, and im actually kind've enjoying the villain/direction a bit, but please say there's more to Lafayette being a medium than whatever the fuck just went down last ep with the creole slave broad that publicly did that spirit-waving to the kids like the end of star wars and really made me think even less of people living in louisiana because shit dude it's fucking time to move. jason was a standup guy for a) waiting a bit to fuck his boy's girl i guess and b) not being the halfass cop that andy is but still, more time was spent fleshing out this sidestory than i was down for. last ep couldve been a half hour and idve been okay with it, shouldve known the doll was going somewhere silly.

 

also: if we're just gonna keep pandering to the women-folk here, i could use at least a few more minutes of sam's chick topless here & there, HBO. i know you think sookie's supposed to do that for me, but she's less interesting naked than the lumberjack wolf guy oh god what has this show done

Right? I think that HBO began by letting the original series be. They let them be awesome for a couple years, and then it came back down to "the bottom line." They got a reputation for allowing good art--and then they started fucking around for more profit. I think that they realized that after Sex and the City ended, they didn't have a show "targeted at women." So they changed the direction True Blood was going in to suit a target audience. BIG. LAME. MISTAKE. I don't know if anyone else here watches Treme, but its first season was gangbusters. The second season---eh. I expected more from the creators of The Wire, and especially what I saw in the first season. Even the changes made to Game of Thrones from the books were all CLEARLY executive based. Meaning the assholes who sit in a room and try to calculate who will watch what based on bullshit stats and what will make the most money.

 

Sorry for the rant, but I have been noticing a trend with the new seasons of HBO shows. I've read all of the books that True Blood is based on, and for the first few seasons I thought the changes they made for the show were really good, and just fine, even for fans of the books. This season is...different, and I think its all based on the execs scrambling and interfering where they should not.

"fan service possibly not meant for our gender" ROTFL! Awesome Nick, and correct.

:LOL:

Dead. Right.

 

I was talking w/ a lady I work w/ that actually read the books and she is royally pissed off by the deviaitons this season has apparently taken from the books. So, you're not alone there, Tulip. Having never read the books, I'm just royally pissed off by the amount of time spent on fucking dream sequences. It's as if the "Writers" scoured fan-fiction blogs for the "plot" to this season.

 

And I was disappointed to see Jason literally screw over his BFF. The writers pitifully tried to make said fucking-over legit by uncharacteristically turning Hoyt into a raging douchebag. The whole thing is fail. And don't even get me started on the brujo brouhaha. *smh*

not that im not a douchebag as well BUT

with the exception of a few potshots at the end there, i thought Hoyt was perfectly entitled to say all the shit he said. granted, as the viewer, we know Jessica's trying to band his best friend, but even with what's in front of him, i though his finding his balls & speaking on them was legit.

Yeah, a douche is you.

 

All the "monster" stuff was so contrived and obvious. It was clearly meant to lead the viewer into hating Hoyt (Hoit? Hoight?) and sympathizing w/ Jessica and Jason's boot-knockin'. Ditto for the dream sequence (blech, this season is lousy w/ those) in which he begs for her to stay and she bashes his head in.

 

Bitches be trippin'.

rather be a douche than soft like twinkie filling

 

she is a monster, though. she kills drifters sometimes and it's okay because she's a pretty white girl who's dead. Hoyt got out from under his mom, took a chance with her, caught a fucking beating in the process, and she cheats on him at clubs and and throws the pussy at his best friend. dude made his point with "ima find a broad who doesn't take my love and say it's not enough. also, she'll have a pulse." she dreamt he was a chump and it'd be great to kill him and bang his boy, i feel alright about the shots he took at the end there.

You're missing my point. The way Hoyt reacted and Jessica's dream wasn't meant for you to empathize or relate to Hoyt. It was so the target demo could feel better about seeing Jessica & Jason fangbang. . .

fan service possibly not meant for our gender

. . . and that's my problem w/ it b/c the whole "monster" thing really seemed out of character for him. Meh, then again, love can make you do fucked up shit. :bored:

I didn't find the monster shit out of character at all. THe dream sequences though... good fucking god. And it's indeed pretty sad that the man meat's of better consistent quality than Anna 'would've been great to see this exposed ten years ago in an Xmen flick' Paquin and anything else not Jessica. And that lumberjack wolf guy will forever be Flash Thompson to me.

Whatever it's called, where they resolve the issue that's been looming over the whole season only to create something just to fuck with things in the last ep? I hate that, and it makes for a bittersweet payoff for the finale next week.

 

My other big question is, given the level of animosity between Weres and Shifters, how the fuck does a Were come to run a goddamned pack after knocking up & maintaining(an admittedly one-sided) relationship with a shifter baby-mama?
