True Blood

Obviously, one of the traitors is a member of the council. The Guardian opens their meeting by cracking ou the Judas bough, which I guess is a special betrayal revenge stake. All the council members look nervous, as the Guardian reveals he is searching their rooms for betrayal evidence. They all look pretty nervous. Who shall it beeee? Good thing they didn’t just say the name, cause I wouldn’t have known anyway, I don’t know any of them. There’s black dude, serious foreigner, southern lady, and kid. Oh, it was kid, called it! The evidence against him? He tortured and ate a human then sent it out as a message of sanguinista solidarity. From his laptop. Fool. Kid tries to make excuses, but he gets TRUE DEATHED right there.

WhereTF is Russell

This episode actually opens with a slap down – from Pam, to Tara. Tara doesn’t really feel like obeying her maker about not committing suicide, so Pam orders her (as her maker) not to.

would you like fries with that?

 Bill and Eric are still on their mission to catch Russell. Apparently only four people knew where he was buried. (Who? I forget?) They speed off (in a car) to find her. (Why do two vamps have to drive? Can’t they just run real fast?) They go to Fangtasia, running into Tara and Pam. Pam’s clearly SO happy to see Eric, but she tries to play off like it’s no big deal.

Eric sends Bill and Tara off for some “I hate myself” time. Tara’s surprised they don’t play the ‘as your maker’ card more. (Yea, couldn’t Lorena have been like “Bill, as your maker, I command you never to leave me and to bang me all the time and not have me killed”? Or couldn’t Eric have been like “Pam, as your maker, I command you not to ever put Sookie in danger?” And so on.)  

Pam probably thought she and Eric were going to have a nice reacquainting chat, or maybe makeup sex (although I don’t think they do that any more?) but in fact, Eric’s got her round the neck and accusing her of letting out Russell. Sad homecoming. Man. It must really hurt to know that one Sookie incident ruined a century of trust. Pam’s taking it pretty hard, too, begging Eric to “release” her.

Like sabotaging your relationship so when you get dumped, you can at least pretend you knew why.

So who else could it be? Not Pam; Bill didn’t tell Jessica and Eric didn’t tell Nora. Hmm.

It’s Tara’s first night of sleep alongside Mommy Pam, who watches her sleep in her pink jumpsuit. Aww. Eric comes downstairs for a visit. It seems he’s forgiven her for the Sookie thing… but he’s still going to “release” her. She’s his only child, and she has to live on. He’s going on a Russell/Authority double suicide mission, after all. He says the releasing ‘vows’ very tenderly, as Pam cries blood, and it’s really a very sweet moment.

“You are my child [who I have sex with]“

At Bill’s house, there’s also a sweet fatherly moment: While searching the house for a bug, Bill finds a joint from one of Jessica’s parties. She starts sputtering an explanation but Bill interrupts – “This is low quality shit.” (Okay, my dad wouldn’t react like that, but this is fantasy tv dad.) He gives her a loving little look; Jessica probably doesn’t know he means it as a goodbye.

Time for one more little parenting moment: Tara’s first feeding on a human, as facilitated (and commanded) by Pam. It’s very sensual.

Forgetting Debbie Pelt

Last episode, Sookie confessed to Alcide that she killed Debbie. This week, she’s ready to come clean to everyone, even running over  to Jason’s house to confess her guilt. That’s right, he’s the law now! Sookie has arbitrarily chosen this moment to stop digging the hole of lies she is probably too deep to get out of now. Jason sees this, and wants her to shut up and keep it quiet. Unfortunately, Jessica’s there in the background (with Jason’s sweatpants on), and now she knows too.

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 think the seducing of regular folk is an attempt to impregnate the fairies.

    How is it that Sookie didn’t notice the HUGE claw marks on the hood of her car?!

    @McWeanis: I do think that Lafayette’s Brujo power has always been evil. When he embraced it after Jesus died, he went to a very dark place and had to fight his urges (with the help of ghost-Jesus). So, I assume it’s kind of a Hulk-like power; when he gets extremely angry, he crafts a spell as the Brujo and then doesn’t remember when he’s back to being Lafayette. I actually thought that was in character and true to what occurred last season.

    I thought Alcide knew about the Russell thing since it was his construction site or something…? Maybe I am just making this up in my head though.

    Anyhow yeah, too random, but the good parts made it worthwhile. With all the coordinated dance routines in Fae-ville, I’m wondering if they are going to introduce Claude into the show…that could be amusing haha.

    The fairy safe house/club is the same place the guy that Jessica chased last week ran too. So was random accent guy the only male fairy and the rest of the fairies are his harem. Also, the whole new story of Jason and Snookie’s parents death/murder was introduced.

    The scene with the true death of the Kid counsel member was very well done. The leaders lines after with the blood dripping down his face and on his teeth was so disturbing but it was so True Blood. Any other show it would have been scary but it was almost comical on this show.

    Thank you for that Magic Mike photo. Alcide was great as Big Dick Richie, I can’t remember a single thing the character said, just remember what he looked like.

    I feel like as pointless as the Terry side story is, it has been building. They have always hinted at his PTSD since season 1. I just feel like it needs to be wrapped up faster, unless somehow it is going to come full circle and involve vampires or werewolves.

    Thanks for including the Magic Mike pic the movie and great and I’ve been waiting all season for naked Alcide…Four consecutive episodes Alcide has clothes on! It’s True Blood blasphemy. The HBO GO extras said the four people that knew about Russell were Bill, Eric, Pam and Alcide. I don’t think Alcide did it because he’s the one who found the hole and one of the construction workers glamored. Whoever released Russell was a vampire…Maybe Nan did it! Anyway, there was way too much going on in this episode, also we haven’t seen any Luna since Emma turned into a werewolf, they just left that hanging. It was so heartbreaking when Eric released Pam, but it was quite funny when she told Eric he’s a grandfather. Tara still annoys me, I was really hoping the tanning bed would be the end of her. And maybe it’s just me but I thought Sookie’s Escapes lyrics were funny. Also Alcide doesn’t strike me as an Aqua Velva kind of guy, I feel like he wouldn’t wear cologne but if he did it seems like he’d be an Old Spice kind of guy.

    That was probably one of the worse drunk scenes I have ever witnessed. I mean can you slur your words a bit to make it believe able.

    WTF?! How did Terry and Patrick manage to come home from war alive? They cluelessly go into the secret underground bunker WHICH HAS LIGHTS ON! And don’t think that there might be someone home?
