I don’t know about you, but I genuinely enjoyed last night’s episode of True Blood. It might not have been the most action-packed episode, but it was loaded with one creepy plot twist after another. And what was up with all the freaky doll action??

Sook inextricably found herself playing caretaker to an adorably helpless Eric, whose memory had been wiped by Marni and her Wiccan circle. She turned to Alcide for support (thank god he’s finally back!) but he seemed a little preoccupied shacking up with his recovering ex, Debbie.

Meanwhile… Beel and Portia decided to move their professional relationship into the bedroom… Hoyt and Jessica couldn’t get rid of that crusty, old baby doll from their house… until they made a gift of it for baby Mikey, who loved the grotesque thing… Maxine was too busy ordering dolls on QVC to realize that Tommy was secretly trying to swindle her… Andy’s V addiction nearly cost Sam his life… Jason found himself the unwitting rape victim by the women of Hot Shot… and Marni resorted to some gnarly blood sacrifice in order to conjure the spirit that had taken hold of her body.

In the end, Pam gave Tara, Lala, and Jesus 24 hours to reverse the spell Marni had cast on Eric. And Claudine returned from the faery world to try to rescue Sook, but a clueless, hungry Eric swooped in and made a snack of Claudine instead. “You ate my faery godmother!” Sook squealed angrily. LOL. 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.

    Still not enough Alcide, his shirt remained on the entire scene. What kind of mean joke is that?

    I actually didn’t think all that much of the episode – the amnesia thing was as predictable as expected.

    I thought this was a great episode. It was nice to see Sookie and Eric get their banter on.

    I’m totally waiting for the coven’s realization that Lafayette is the most powerful brujo they have.. because in the second episode when he joined the circle they were able to bring the bird back to life and in this ep Marnie couldn’t get the spirit to come to her (and I think it’s bc Lafayette was elsewhere). Also Im hoping Eric totally forgetting his badass nature might mean Sookie gives him a romantic shot at her!

    Can someone explain the creepy crusty doll? Was it in other episodes? Am I missing something?

    the whole crusty old doll thing creeped me out big time…that was the first time it showed up unless i’m missing something from previous episodes. not in the books in any way either.

    ugh, just the mention of it being thrown away and showing up in the house again makes me think of a million scary stories/movies/twilight zone-y tv shows…where a person is home alone, and a doll is across the room, then they’re busy doing something and they look up and the doll IS RIGHT BESIDE THEM. dolls are the WORST. worse than clowns.

    They showed the clip from last season in the previouslies, but when Jess and Hoyt reunite, there’s a wide-angle shot of them in a hallway shot from a darkened room and in the foreground you see the creepy doll lying on the ground. I remember seeing that damn doll in the original scene thinking “the hell?” so I’m glad it actually wasn’t just a weird affectation.

    But I thought it was funny that they live in such a crazy place that the fact that this doll, which last time I checked can’t walk on its own, keeps coming back to their house didn’t even phase them. It was just another petty, little thing to argue about, like how Jess never remembers to go grocery shopping since she doesn’t eat food anymore.

    I loved this episode! The closing scene when Sookie says that Eric killed her fairy godmother, the face Eric made was priceless! How he apologized with that goofy, bloody smile on his face, love him!

    I thought the spirit was there at the end of that scene….when Marni walked off and you saw the spirit woman sitting in the chair in the mirror reflection.

    The creepiest scene for me was watching Jason being taken against his will by batshit-crazy Crystal and her equally batshit-crazy fellow female panthers.

    Ugh. Just ugh.

    Uggh on creepy doll – it is “scawey” (as my daughter used to pronounce scary when she was widdle)Yum to Eric – you could grate cheese on his abs.
