Tara wants to stockpile the stuff for themselves, while Pam wants to continue business as usual. “We keep our heads down, our tits up, and the Tru Blood flowing.” Feeding on humans is only for private. Until…
Surpassing Hoyt in the My Chemical Romance Lookalike Contest
Uh ohhh… there’s a new sheriff in town. And he is emo as ballz. And he is feeding on a human on Eric’s throne! And public feeding is now allowed by the authority! Shiit! I didn’t know Fangtasia came with the kingdom.
The Obamas (aka everyone else)
Lafayette starts out by investigating the creepy blurry vamp face which showed up in Sookie’s bathroom last week. He doesn’t see it. That’s about as far as this storyline goes this week.
smizing really brings the spirits out
“Creepy spirit thangy! Why you in Sookie’s bathroom!” “I am not Whoopie Goldberg in Ghost. But I am wayyy prettiah.” WHAT! This is excellent evidence that the True Blood writers are in fact reading my recaps. Or, that we both make really lazy references. See my last week recap”
“Lafayette does an AWESOME Whoopi Goldberg in Ghost, pretending to talk to the Iraqi woman, and then actually talking to her.
much prettier than whoopi goldberg.”
Ha! And you thought tvgasm wasn’t influential/wasn’t able to retroactively affect a script that had already been written and filmed by the time I wrote last week’s recap!
Anyway, again, Lafayette gets the spirits’ messages once he isn’t trying to. This time, it’s from gran:
“Your gran says she is glad those striptease faeries is looking after you.”
Gran indicates that there’s some important evidence under Sookie’s bed, in gran’s box o’ stuff. They don’t really know what they’re looking for, but two items stick out: Jason’s report card, signed by Lynn Dearborne. We already know Jason had sex with one of his teachers, Miss Steeler, when he was in school. Did he do the same with Lynn Dearborne? We know she was ‘out of town’ and Bud was cheating when Andy stopped by a few episodes ago. We also find out the new fact that Sheriff Bud Dearborne discovered Sookie’s parent’s bodies. They don’t really know what this means, though:
“Dead folk! Why ya’all gotta be so cryptic? It ain’t cute!”
Jessica unfortunately doesn’t have much to do in this episode; her appearance is limited to a Rihanna-esque rationalization of Hoyt’s behavior to Kenya (who is horrified.) Jason (aka the person who ACTUALLY shot her in the head) pops in to offer some comfort, but she doesn’t want it. Jessica feels responsible for everything that’s happened to Hoyt, and plus, she can’t feel his danger signals through his blood any more. There is much wordplay on “the Obamas,” and the destruction of the “everybody poops” franchise. Jason deposits Jess safely back at her mansion.

Steve’s homosexuality seemed to come out of nowhere and become a convenient plot point, but what would be an interesting twist is if his thirst for power would supercede his flexible sexuality. We know Steve loves power more than anything and being RE’s boy toy would come with some hefty perks. I’m looking forward to the eventual Steve/RE double-cross because it is so clearly going to happen.
I do like the fact that they touched on the fact that Tara is still ignoring texts from Sookie and Lafayette. In another storyline that would make logical sense, why not have Tara and Pam eventually fall in love? We know Tara dabbled in lesbianism when she joined the fight club and Pam is gay, so why don’t they start to find their way to each other? I always thought that was where the story was going to go, but I feel that is a beat that has been dropped.
Sweetie running in the bunny slippers and red kimono from a chasing Luna was the best scene of the season. It was pure comedy and both actresses were committed to the ridiculousness of the situation.
So glad the Ifrit story is over.
Great recap, McW. I found the multiple storylines irritating as well.
“Dead folk! Why ya’all gotta be so cryptic? It ain’t cute!” I loves me some LaFayette. Nelsan needs an Emmy.
Why couldn’t Sookie zap her bonds? Her powers are gone that quickly??
And we need more naked men. Bring Alcide’s butt back! He’s not the greatest actor but the rippling muscles make up for it..
I don’t think Steve’s homosexuality came out of nowhere. There were plenty of hints when Jason was with his group that he was closeted. He was always interested in Jason and the Newlin marriage was established as sexless by the time Jason fooled around with Sarah so him coming back as a gay vampire made complete sense. Plus, the closeted televangelist stereotype is totally in Alan Ball’s wheelhouse. I’m sure the actor was playing Steve as closeted even when the character was still alive.
Pam, on the other hand, is bisexual but clearly and utterly in love with Eric. That’s where her loyalty will always lie. Pam/Tara as a couple is more likely a next season storyline, if it happens at all. This season was about Tara accepting her new fat and Pam pining for Eric.
As for Alcide, the Shreveport pack is a new pack for him. He was raised in the Jackson pack. But if my old nature special viewing is still accurate, the Shreveport pack wanted him to become packmaster because he killed Marcus and that would indicate that he’s the new alpha. But even when they were all in Mississippi he said he’d left his pack voluntarily and has always been more of a “lone wolf.” Debbie’s the one who wanted a pack.
I thought the exact same thing McW, “Pigs eat people?”
Good work explaining Vallegirl, I am in the middle of the tenth book (I think), so I am getting my story lines mixed up and so this was helpful in straightening them out.
@Vallegirl, call me stupid, but I honestly never really picked up on the subtext of Steve being in the closet back in Season 2. But your explanation makes perfect sense.
Why can’t it be Sunday again?
I loved this episode!!!
I could not be happier the Terry/Patrick storyline is over. My sister actually liked it and tried to talk about it with me and I basically said, “frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn”, except not in so many words.
Lafayette was in fine form in this episode!
I’m a little disappointed you didn’t include the fight between Luna and Sam. The plot point of her dying wasn’t dropped, she was never actually dying, SkinnWalking is very stressful on the body and Sam even says his brother died from it but Luna points out Tommy was beaten to death. It was also significant because once again Sam insisted Luna sit pretty while he handled the Obamas. Not only did Luna not take that nicely but it led to the most spectacular and funny declarations of love possibly ever! It’s rare to call someone annoying and sexist in the same debate the person tells you they’re protecting you and they live you.
I loved the flashback but I wonder what’s the point of choosing Pack if it has led to both father and son being abjured.
Jason was also in fine firm with his dopey comment about the masks and telling Andy what an awesome cop he is!
I also didn’t understand why Elijah was all of the sudden in charge of Fangtasia, I was under the impression it belonged to Eric. Hopefully he gets staked soon and Eric will return.
Makers don’t usually sleep with their children once they’ve made them, though children will sleep with other siblings. I’d be surprised if they put Tara and Pam together like that, as Pam pointed out just because they fed on a bitch together doesn’t make them friends. There’s no love there and I’d be surprised if they turned them into a couple, that is not something I’d be a fan of because Pam is so awesome and Tara is so annoying.
All I have to say about Bill is he’s a tool. I don’t care if he has some unknown secret motives and is really playing both sides, he is no Severus Snape (hehe!). Actually he’s no Harry Potter either, being Salome’s Chosen One and all. He loves the attention and that makes it bad no matter what. I hope he gets his time in the sun…See what I did there?! lol!
I loved the song at the end and was randomly shouting at various times during the week since.
OMG Moment: Did anyone rewind the previews for the next few episodes (WAHHH) and then pause it various points?! Because I totally did and I caught Jessica and Jason in a the dirt together, cuddling…baby vamp and maker-style O.o What is the meaning of this?!?!?!
