True Blood: iraqidemonfaeryshiftervampwolfWHAAA

Speaking of other things everyone knows, they know that Sookie made Tara a vampire. Working at Merlotte’s, Sookie can hear everyone seeing mean things about her – a nice homage to the first episodes. My favorite overheard thought was “I’d still hit that.”  After facing death like a majillion times, this mindreading finally sends Sookie to hide out and freak out.

Alcide’s going to see the Pelts to break the news. Debbie’s dead. Killed, that is. By who? Marcus Bozeman. Ohhh. Alcide’s rewriting history. According to his version, Marcus killed Debbie because she wouldn’t get with him ,and then Alcide killed Marcus out of vengeance. That’s convenient, since they were banging and are not both dead.

The Pelts are not comforted by the vengeance. There’s weird emotional werewolf talk of teen dating, and flashy angry werewolf eyes. Despite Debbie being a V addict who cheated on Alcide like a million times, the parents still blame him for not protecting her. Alcide actually cries.

not a sexy crier. i liked him better in Magic Mike.

So the parents are taken care of, but Andy is still suspicious. Jason unsuccessfully tries to talk him out of dropping the case. Luckily, Jessica whooshes in to glamour it out of him. In fact, now he won’t even be able to remember the name Debbie Pelt. That might look a little suspicious, but whatever.

Back at her house, Sookie’s cracked into the liquor cabinet. Tara hates her, Lafayette hates her, Alcide hates her, people have mean thoughts about her, she makes everyone dead, etc; all of this can be cured with drink. She gets wicked drunk and starts singing along with her own lyrics to the Pina Colada song, which I will spare you.

Alcide drops by with news and forgiveness: the Pelts are gone. He took care of it. “Why would you do that?” Sookie asks. DUH. He loves you and is always taking care of you. LIKE EVERYONE. Sookie offers him a drink, and they predictably get drunk and then start making out. Alsookie shippers, this is your moment.

It may be drunk and thus legally nonconsensual, but it’s happening.

 Of course, Eric and Bill are creepily outside watching, pretending to themselves that they’re there as part of the search. Bill gets a new idea: use Sookie as Russell bait.

 

So, I really loved all the scenes with Pam, Tara, Bill and Eric this week. The goodbyes between the makers and their “children” were very sweet and heartfelt, and I love Pam’s how-to-vampire lessons. Everything else…  I could have done without, particularly the Terry and shifter storylines. I can handle the faeries for now because they’re probably going to be tied to some other loose ends, like the weird faery war we saw. It’s dumb for now – why old dudes? why brothel? WHY? – but MAYBE it’ll come to fruition. Please sound off below! Mwah!

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?
