This episode is all about love turning to HATE! Jessica bears the brunt of it, with both Jason and Hoyt turning on her. The human race in general gets some too, with relatively gentle vamps like Bill and Eric going wackadoo. Lettie Mae breaks the last straw for any semblance of relationship between her and Tara. Martha learns the truth about the shittiness that is JD. And Scary Mexican Grandpa’s Perma-Pregnant wife turns on him. Let’s get to it!

Last week, the Guardian’s fate was up in the air. Russell stabbed him, and we saw a weird zombie face. This week, between weird blinking emergency lights and alarms and night vision goggles, we see a pile of Roman-goo. So I guess that was the end of that. What the eff was the point of Roman? Is he coming back? His character really didn’t contribute much of anything. I don’t think anyone was too attached to him, so the mutiny didn’t really have the effect that I think was intended. I didn’t watch Law & Order or whatever show that actor is from, so I’m just like… whatevs.

Anyway, Russell takes advantage of the emergency sitch to tackle Eric and string him up to column – until some vamp storm troopers come in and net him. Mkkkk?

It seems that Nora and Salome have staged a little coup. Predictable much? They meet with Bill and Eric to discuss, you know, stuff. Whether the boys will die. Slightly less predictable is that they are bringing Russell into the family; Salome was the one who released him from the concrete. He pops out behind the curtain – he just wanted to make an entrance, guys!

After the boys put their fangs away, Russell tries to make peace. Eric killed Russel’s bf Talbot (who I LOVED!), Russel killed Eric’s whole family; so “bygones! It’s olive branch time!” Eric’s not really that hot on the idea, and Bill is still a little mainstreaming nerd. Still, it seems the other option besides surrender is death. So, there’s that.

So, why did the girls bring Russell back? Still unclear. To kill, Roman, I guess. Why didn’t Salome do it herself? Cause the Guardian’s blood is sacred, and only he can choose when to die. So… how did Russell kill him? Unclear.

Anyhoo, it’s a time for a ceremony. Before it begins, Russell needs to be granted forgiveness for staking the Guardian. It’s not technically allowed, but since the Guardian abandoned the true evil path of eating humans, two wrongs make a right or something. Russell’s turned a corner – he loves Lilith now!

To celebrate the new Authority leadership, Salome and Nora are going to treat the whole group to the blood of Lilith-  which apparently is literal, not metaphorical. (The whole group minus Techie Girl… where is Techie Vamp?? She’s my favorite!)

twinsies!

When Intellectual Chancellor disagrees with the blood offering, Russell chops off his head. Everyone else agrees pretty quickly!

“It’s vampire blood. We’re vampires. It’s not gonna do anything.” – Eric

About

first thing's first: the origin of "mcweanis."

It is not because I have a giant weanis (look it up) although it is usually unusually bulbous and crusty.

it is in fact because as a child i was dubbed Weanie (it rhymes with my first name, because i'm awesomely named)  by my older sister Drunk, which my friends co-opted and which eventually evolved into weanis and finally mcweanis or MC weanis depending on how gangster i am at the time.

i am a huge nerd of all kinds, especially tv, books, and school. i'll be going to harvard law school in the fall cause i'm so SCHMANCY! i plan to put my excellent time management skills to work in balancing my courseload and my must-watch-tv-load.

    I’ve heard speculation that the reason they showed Sheriff Dearborn is that he’s “Dragon”, so maybe it wasn’t a useless scene.

    I feel the same way. The show is. Becoming like LOST keep waiting for something to happen and it never does. Now we have another season to kill Russell. Gee wonder if sookie and Bill fall in love again. Your recaps keep me hanging in and watching the show but will soon take the time to read your great recaps and not watch this show.

    Hocus Pocus!! Love that movie.

    This episode was a little on the slow side, but I LOL’d so many times that I was more entertained than normal. It’s like they upped the cheese factor on purpose. Bourbon street was AWESOME, haha (excpet the two things you mentioned).

    Thanks for recapping this show! Makes it even more enjoyable for me, and it can’t be easy with all the jumping around it does.

    Kibwe the African American vamp wasn’t chowing down on the lady’s vag, but her femoral artery.

    My life might have gone in a very different direction if I had a Dominatrix Eighties Vampire Lesbian Barbie to play with while I was growing up. *sigh* Oh well.

    I think True Blood has jumped the shark. There are too many damn storylines at once, so each one gets shorted and you never know what the hell is going on. They could get rid of Russell, Lafayette’s a demon, the fairies, Jessica/Hoyt, and the smoke monster and I would be pleased. None of those were in the books anyway. Although they’re so far off the books, it doesn’t really matter anymore.

    I liked this episode it made me giggle a lot! I absolutely loved Russell singing and when they kill Russell off Denis O’Hare should go do weddings! OMG movie spinoff “The Vampire Wedding Singer” lol! Anyway, Sookie is stupid. I actually really like Martha, she takes no shit. I guess Sookie lost all sex appeal when she puked on Alcide’s shoes and Eric went to all that trouble to make Alcide find her disgusting. He moved on pretty quickly. I feel like, or maybe it’s just my hope, that everything is going to come together and suddenly make a whole lot of sense. Sometimes there’s a bigger idea and this season is off because we’re being set up for next season epicness! Admittedly this season has been slow but it’s also been one of the funniest with some of the best lines from the series. I love your recaps so please don’t give up on it yet!

    Could we pretty please get a nsfw tag if there is going to be nudity in the recaps. As much as I love your recaps, I love my job more.
