True Blood Season 4 - Page 2

I'll admit, I enjoyed the new episode quite a bit. Any time the vampires get knocked down a few pegs makes me happy. For being so infinitely shitty, the show in general has been too forgiving of them. Seriously, is there any mythical creature out there that hasn't been fucked by them? I'm just waiting for next season when they reveal that they hunted sasquatches for sport. If the witch coven bitch slaps them all season, I'll be just fine with that.

I'm wondering if the doll is a Childs Play take with it being possessed with the soul of Rene.

This is a really incesty season so far.

I'm sorry. I didn't know you had to see the incest for it to count.

I think "brother-cousin" is enough.

Just when this show almost makes Tara a bearable character, she resorts right back to her screeching, screaming, trembly-mouth self.  Her reaction to Eric is completely justified, don't get me wrong, but either give her something of substance to do or just kill her already.  This show is packed with people as it is.  Time for some blood-letting.  Having said that, this episode was pretty good.  Glad to see the Mickens bite it.  Relieved to not see Hotshot at all this episode.  Portia's argument to fuck her great-great-great-great grandfather was hilarious.  The Jason/Jessica/Hoyt dream was HILARIOUS.  

 

So Bill's gonna walk in on Eric and Sookie fucking next week, I imagine.  Oh Bill, ever the cockblock.

 

 

Eric owning the house means anyone can walk right in.  That's how Pam got in after Sookie called her a few eps back.

Alright, so I know this show has always been shitty, and I've just watched it out of the corner of my eye as my wife watches but...seriously?

 

There could have been something I missed, but did Sookie just take advantage of someone with amnesia for sexual purposes? Imagine if Eric was anyone but a vampire, and how twisted that is. 

Umm they've been hanging out post-amnesia for a while.

It has been a pretty campy season, but watching Jason beg Sookie to shoot him if he turned cracked me up.   I know I am being repetitive and pedantic, but Tara needs to die.

Hanging out is a bit different than fucking, as anyone who has ever been around a mentally disturbed person might tell you. And as far as, "awhile," hasn't this entire season been like one week?

I cant help but enjoy your eternal optimism regarding this show Simon, watching you put a positive spin on this crap fest is the most enjoyable part of this season.

 

I believe 2 weeks ago I asked, what's next, an evil twin? Sho nuff. So now we just need someone in a coma as a cliff hanger and we will have hit for the cycle of daytime soap cliches as plot device.  

This episode bored the fuck out of me. Tara and her girlfriend don't give off any chemistry at all. And I'm a guy that's all down for two attractive women making out with each other. I really believe the whole demon baby subplot was done just to make the audience laugh. Didn't care much about Andy. They made him pathetic again for no reason. Didn't care about Alcide. Everything with Sam and his brother this episode was nothing that hasn't been written before and so very obvious when anything happened. It would have been nice, for once, if Sam actually caught his brother instead of dragging it out further into the season. Lafayette and his man were funny. I did actually like the grandfather knowing more about what's going on than them and calling them idiots. Jason and Sookie are the dumbest fucking siblings on any show right now. Lastly, Sookie wanting Erik is really gross to me. It's like she's going after him now only because he's mentally handicapped. WTF is that?!

The Eric/Sookie sex scene was awkward as fuck, especially when she'd just said a few minutes before how the mosquitos were eating her alive out there while she was looking for Jason.  I couldn't think, "Oh, how nice" when I'm thinking about how she's probably got a trail of ants going into places that they shouldn't.  I don't find their relationship gross, but it is a little convenient that she's taking advantage of his current state to act on their sexual tension.  She's gotta know that he's not gonna stay like this forever, especially not if Pam's got something to say about it.  What happens when he snaps back to normal?  I guess she's saying fuck it to the big picture and getting that dick while the getting's good, and frankly, I can't really blame her.

 

Devil baby is officially hilarious.  TommySam firing Sookie was HILARIOUS.  She never fucking works!  Alcide is officially boring.  Unless I'm seeing that ass, he serves no purpose.

Simon, there is certainly a place for things that do their own particular brand of trash well. Whether is a silly date movie like Cutting Edge, or the ridiculous goings on of the fast and furious series.

 

Now that I think about it, this show is the perfect counterpoint to Entourage, which is pure male fantasy. HBO was missing the female show that pandered to the lowest common denominator, since Sex and the City ran it's course.

 

This is like Dark Shadows on high grade crack and it's pretty fucking great. 

+1 on the sex in the mosquito filled woods uncomfortableness, but it still doesn't beat the time when Bill dug himself out of the ground and immediately had sex with Sookie.

I find it pretty creepy that Sookie is having sex with a borderline mentally retarded Eric.

 

At least she's fucking someone on her intellectual level now.

Careful now, I made the same connection and was ridiculed by an administrator, 

They've had the hots for each other pre- and post-amnesia. They're grown adults in a trashy TV show. Why can't they just fuck?

I agree with all of this. Fuck, I love this show. There hasn't been something this gloriously entertaining and trashy in ages. It's like a terrible and hilarious soap opera with lots of nudity and gore and hot men with muscles.

Ha! Thanks for the laugh. He seems more like a little kid to me, but still, creepy.

Honestly, it comes down to the fact that Sookie loathed Eric (and with good cause) before he lost his memory. Why exactly did she suddenly forget that when he lost his memory? Does she think this is some new permanent state, or is she just that damn shallow? Even her best friend in the world called her out on this.

 

It is far and away not the worst thing this show has done, but I can't lie and say it doesn't bother me when they do this. It just seems like another bit of character breaking in a show that has made a habit of writing characters in bizarre ways.

I really think it was a selfish decision and she just wanted to bang him so bad she couldn't help herself, especially since his new childlike state is fairly nonthreatening and charming.

The thing is, Eric is really really really really hot. I mean, REALLY hot. He's like the male equivalent to Christina Hendricks in terms of sex appeal. And Sookie has been portrayed as a decent person but not a saint, the girl still has needs.

Doesn't change the fact that she's also a fucking idiot 99% of the time.

Werewolf Girl's got it. If you want to argue that it's out of character, so be it. But Pagoda, who admits he does not watch the show, is just saying it's creepy, when we all know this show has done far creepier things.

BINGO.  Morality and ethics go right out the window when you've got a sexy Viking with a dick like Thor's hammer in your basement. 

 

Granted, I do think there's gender bias at work, because if it was a male character who was fucking the hell out of an amnesiac female character, I'd feel icky about it.

 

From the little we know of Eric's backstory, he totally had it coming. Plus, parading around in jason's sexy workout clothes was really asking for it.

 

Plus is it even possible for most people's opinions of Sookah to get any lower?

 

I'm pretty sure nearly every viewer smiled when her ass got fired.

They made up for that lame Eric/Sookie sex scene last week.  MORE PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

 

I have no doubt that Jessica will be fine.

 

And I have a question that I'm sure has been answered in a past season but I'm too lazy to go back that far for an answer:  when a vamp's maker gives a command, I was under the impression that something in their brain sort of forces them to obey, like being glamored or something.  When Godric used it on Eric on the roof before his death scene, Eric's whole demeanor suddenly changed.  He went from screaming and crying to very peaceful.  Eric used it on Pam to get that blanket off her head last week.  But here Jessica defies the order.  So, is it optional to obey your maker, or was the power of the spell overriding the maker-order?  What, if any, ramifications are there if a vamp disobeys their maker's command?

I'm guessing the spell was more powerful. Although your question about ramifications is interesting. Vampires bleed if they enter a house uninvited. Is the obedience a natural law with consequences or just a custom? We've definitely seen a type of love and respect between maker and... makee. They're not all bad!

So I'm wondering what the chances are that Jessica is really dead. In most instances it seems like the cliffhangers on this show are pretty much standard soap-opera type, "OH MY GOD" moments that are immediately reset within the first two minutes of next week's episode. 

 

However, there was the scene with Jessica talking about how she wasn't sure about her relationship with Hoyt (coupled with his scene saying he'd die if she left him), her scene telling Bill not to be sorry - that she'd experienced more life as a vampire than she ever would have as a human, and I think there was one other scene too where she talked about death or something. If she is dead then they put almost enough in this episode for it to be a satisfying goodbye that still raises the stakes. 

 

Of course last week they hinted that Sam's brother might be dead and, though I made a sacrifice to every known god this week, it was sadly not to be. 

I doubt she's dead. They've just started the Jason-Jessica storyline, not to mention he ran all the way there to save her. Which he'll do. Then they'll start falling for each other and there will be a whole lotta tension with Hoyt. (Fuck me for writing that.)

I really hope they dont kill off Jessica...I love her character.

What Joe Lavers said. I'd hate for them to kill another character I love. My sister speculated this'll be when Jason transforms into a cat and make the save.

Jess might die this season, but she's not going to die before she fucks Jason.

Yeah, I swear you guys have never watched TV. They've gone to all the trouble to set up (yet another) love triangle, they're not killing her before paying that off.

 

Jason will save her, bringing them closer together... cue a violin... cue doe eyes and heaving bosom... cue fucking in the woods... cue remorseful swearing each other off... cue guilty looks... cue fucking in Hoyt's bed.

 

The only mystery to me is: will they finally get the hottest actress on the show to do nudity? I HAVE TO KNOW!

 

On a side note, I bid a fond farewell to the most boring lesbian couple in film history. And I look forward to the scene where Sookah and Tara playfully reconcile after Sookah is miffed (miffed! and peeved!) that Tara tried to murder every man she ever loved all at once.

We're both thinking about Marnie, am I right?

Give me a show about Jesus' grandfather. "I was busy fucking my wife."

 

Sorry, that's not gonna happen.  Hoyt's mom saw her burn up already.
 

 

Jessica's dream was great!  Hoyt doing the "I'll DIE without you" and then her killing him.  Perfect sixteen year old girl dream stuff.

I'm fine.  No drugs for me.  Except for the anti-psychotic.

 

Last couple of weeks have been pretty good.  Sookie dreaming in red last week was verra nice.

 

 

After the last few episodes I keep waiting for the MUTANT ENEMY logo to pop up after the credits.

Hadn't thought of that.  You're right.

 

It's a step up, right?  I can see the Anya giving the "Thanks" to Sookie that  Pam gave.

Marnie is my new favourite sort of surprise villain. That last episode was awesome! I'm curious to see how well Eric will be able to stick to his sensitive guy persona now too.

'Marnie just puked up a bitch!'  Great line from 'True Blood' or GREATEST line from 'True Blood'?

Haha, it's in the running for sure!

 

That was a fun episode. I'm ashamed to admit I wasn't expecting the end even though in retrospect it was pretty obvious where that was going.
