The new Bill might not be around much longer, though. Bill goes to visit everyone’s favorite talking mystical vial of blood, and finds another Chancellor bowing before it, and another bloody Lilith handprint: she’s been visiting everyone, and telling them they’re the One! Burnnn!

Rather than react like a reasonable adult, Bill just slices off his competitor’s head. Dead black chancellor! I thought he would realize the error of his ways, but instead he got crazier.
Wow, everyone’s in the Authority! Sam passes Pam in the hallway; Jessica’s back to see Bill.
after a good ole ear boxin’ by Roslyn! Yay vampires, for keeping the classics alive.
And he is pissed. “Who are you to defy me? I am the chosen one!” He evens throws Jessica across the room! Child abuse! Even as Bill declares his specialness, Lilith goes on to choose Salome.

I bet Salome will take her right up on that offer and drink all the blood stat. Most Boring Characters Showdown: Salome v. Bill! With an opener of Alcide v. Nora!
Meanwhile, at faery brothel tent…
Sookie’s super shaken up by the fact that her ancestors, well, sold her. She’s hiding out in the faery brothel, and going to see the eldest elder.
Sookie has the shittiest guardian angels.
She’s crazy and Kesha obsessed, and she doesn’t want to talk about Warlow – it’s forbidden! “There’s a reason you slut your heart out to every cute guy out there with fangs.” Crazy elder is about to spill those beans when Jason spills into the faery tent to warn Sookie about Steve and Russell. Crazy Elder is immediately distracted/horrified by the news that Russell is alive. The faeries plus Jason all make the plan to fight against him to together. (Should’ve turned him when you had the chance Jess! Now he’s gonna die!)
Somewhat related…
Andy stops by Merlotte’s to visit Holly; he also gets an apology from her sons for ButtNetGate. OK, from one of her sons; the other one’s still a dick. More set up for the faery pregnancy: Andy promises to do right by Holly. Nooo!
smile while you can, girl.
Arlene and Terry are back together and more adorable than ever. Their secret: trust, honesty, and loyalty.
uh, okay, Arlene. cause you had so much faith in Terry when you thought he was off his meds rather than pursued by an actual demon… and when you hired Lafayette to lie to him…
Cue pregnant Mirella, entering Merlotte’s to ask for Andy to protect her and her baby. Yikes.
doh!
If you like it, spread it!:

How stupid is Faetaesia? That’s the most idiotic strip bar EVER! The dance the elder Fae did only reminded me of the movie Mars Attacks, where the martian dresses up as a human to get into the white house. The Fae moved just like that martian did. And then she goes “Stand back, I’ve got this!!!!” and then runs outside and gets her face sucked in. Stupid fairys!!
That “Doh” cap of Andy was perfect, though. Gave me a giggle.
Oh, True Blood, True Blood where art thou? This season can only be redeemed if BAMF Eric zooms in and puts both Bill and Salome (oh, and lets not forget about Nora) out of their misery by staking the lilith right out of them.
Luna needs to go. Grandma Werewolf can raise her. Sam can find someone worthy of the awesome shifter man that he is.
Salome, Nora and Baby Eater can go. Sookie can go for that matter but she won’t.
I really like Alcide. I really like Robert Patrick as his father and the fact that he had his son’s back with a compound bow.
My favorite new game while watching this show is:
“Watch them hide Anna Paquin’s Baby Bump”
HA! I’ve been playing the same game Rebecca.
Frankly, I hate Bill so much (especially after he hit Jessica) I’m rooting for Salome in their showdown. I know they won’t kill Bill and have figured Salome’s a goner since they introduced her, but it’s about time Bill, who is only 173+, actually has to fight a vampire, rather than getting away with just tricking them (816-year-old Nan; 500-year-olds Sophie-Anne and Kibwe) and getting away unscathed. Salome is over 2,000 years old, so I’ll be irritated if Evil Bill gets to stake her with a pencil or some such shit without so much as a scratch, as she could kill him with one smack at that age.
They need to get back to the naked men. Seriously. And I DON’T mean Russell. (Ew.)
This episode was intense. Unfortunately I am confident that almost nothing will get resolved in the finale.
Salome is a goner because they won’t kill Bill, though they really should! I bet Roslyn swoops in, kills Salome! Nora is also goo because she got her reprieve and it’s just tragic enough for us to feel bad for Eric.
I’m glad they didn’t turn Jason. I don’t like Maurella either, but it seems obvious they’re setting up a human vs. faerie war and since Holly is a witch and will be angry with Andy they’ll bring that back in and it’s going to be this grand showdown of Supes!
I can’t decide if they’re going to kill Russell or leave it until next season. We have Warlow for next season and I feel like everything is already tied up in that including Russell, which has me thinking he’ll be around but then it’s been two season of him as the villain it would make sense to move on.
Sam is going to save the day and Eric is going to save Sookie that I’m sure of!
I don’t want the season to end but I’m looking forward to what they’ll do in the finale! I hope you recap next season McWeanis you’ve done an awesome job!
i forgot to mention that the Crazy Elder’s dance looked like a shitty contemporary solo from so you think you can dance.
Tara’s “keep your laws off my body” pissed me off. Any of the lost feminist tribe will know what I mean. It sounded like a young writer told an even younger intern to go find some Roe v. Wade quote that they could pithily apply to the baby vamp production mandate. UGH.
And when did get violence become more compelling than sex? Bring back the rapacious Erik the Viking, please…
I don’t have any spoilers, but…this is season 5, right? Per Terrence Winter, that is the season where you shockingly kill off a major character. (Of course, the rat bastard did it in the second season of Boardwalk Empire.) So hope springs eternal that idiot Bill will finally get staked.
I know that’s why people started tuning in…the sex…why have they deviated from this?
I heard that Alan Ball didn’t write this season. Is this why we were introduced to the Sangunista? Normally the season follows the books a bit, this season has gone all the way rouge!
Honey, speak for yourself – I care about Alcide…I would care about him so hard, he would see stars! LOL!. Thanks for the picture…
classy, I am with you. I am not sure I am feeling all the bloody blood on this show. It is definitely off pace from the books.
