After weeks of teasing me with mediocre installments, True Blood roared to ferocious life last night with an amazing episode jam-packed with magic, murder, and mayhem! The show laid bare its cards on the table with Marni’s possession and Antonia’s wicked endgame. And one twisty cliffhanger after another just left me salivating for more!!

After joining the local wolfpack, Alcide and Debbie got quite an eyeful of another kind of full moon when they peeped on Eric and Sookeh having full blown sex in the woods. (Best part of the ep was watching Eric and Sook sex their way back into the house!) In a far less sexy house, Antonia used necromancy on Luis in her escape plan, and both he and Katrina became her collateral damage. Beel himself was nearly assassinated, as well!

Meanwhile… Pam tried to exact her revenge on Tara and Naomi, but all she ended up doing was driving a wedge between the two girlfriends… Jesus’ brujo grandpa helped illuminate the fact that Lala is a medium for the dead… Lala later discovered that he could see the same spooky black woman that Mikey could see, only now it seems she’s a singer… Sheriff Andy completely bungled his date with Holly… Sam and Luna figured out Tommy’s shapeshifting deceit… and then Sam unceremoniously tossed Tommy out on his runty little ass!

In the end, Antonia / Marni recruited Tara and a few other Wiccan idiots for her big ole plan to use necromancy in order to destroy all of the vamps in Louisiana. Beel raced to warn Eric, Pam, Sook, Jessica, and all of the other vamps about Antonia’s evil resurrection plan. The vamps all bound themselves in silver and hunkered down so as not to be tempted to walk into the sun and meet the true death. Antonia formed her new, powerful Wiccan circle… Sook romantically stayed by Eric’s side… and Jason risked his life to protect Jessica, who managed to escape and opened the front door in order to greet the sunlight…!!! OMG! Stay tuned for the full recap!!

SlifeGoesOn may be one of the newer recappers at TVgasm.com, but his love for television is older than he is!  He was exposed to endless hours of Charlie's Angels, Dallas, Hart to Hart, and Remington Steele while still in his mother's womb, and it is no wonder that one of his earliest memories in life is of watching the epic fire that consumed La Mirage in Dynasty's sixth season finale.  He went through a troubled, awkward sci-fi phase in junior high, becoming obsessed with shows like Star Trek and The X-Files.  This paved the way to his love for Buffy The Vampire Slayer, perhaps one of the best written shows of all time.

 

 

Now a recovering ex-Trekkie, SlifeGoesOn opts for a wide array of programming, from highbrow, high concept fare, to trashy reality TV, where he makes his living as a senior story producer.  He was nominated for a Daytime Emmy in 2010 for his work on the second season of the Style network's number one-rated hit, Ruby.

 

 

His TVgasm recaps include the finely tawt thriller Damages, the campy, gothic True Blood, as well as the guilty pleasures that are Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, and The Real Housewives of New York City.  He has also done a number of interviews, with celebrities such as Carolyn Hennesy from Cougar Town.  When not gabbing about television at the watercooler with co-workers, you can usually find SlifeGoesOn parked on the couch watching reruns of Sex & The City and reciting along with the dialogue.

    I was pretty happy to see that they aren’t drawing out the “Antonia’s going to cast a spell” storyline, nor the “Luna doesn’t know it wasn’t really Sam” storyline. Kudos to the writers for getting to the point pretty fast with both of those. I could easily see drawing those storylines out to the season finale, then having a way-overstuffed finale as a result. FYI, anyone know why Katrina had fangs that popped out as she was being strangled by Luis? She was human, right?
