Recap 311 True Blood: “Fresh Blood”
Eric: “You know I love you more when you’re cold and heartless.” So Eric did have a plan. Unfortunately, it involves sacrificing himself in order to take out Russell, revenge his family, and incidentally, save the world from a vampire Hitler. You know, I’ve never been one of those fans who says that if a [...]
Recap 310 True Blood: “I Smell a Rat”
Eric: “It’s not just the blood. You know you have feelings for me.” Sookie: “Eww.” Eric, Eric, Eric. Can you say ‘mixed signals’? Eric usually plays it close to the chest, but he is sure he’s going to die and he’s obviously torn. He needs to take revenge for his family, and he has feelings [...]
Recap 309 True Blood: “Everything is Broken”
Russell: “We want to eat you. After we eat your children. Now, time for the weather. Tiffany?” This episode didn’t speed up and overtake me until the end, when Russell burst onto the television scene with a piece of newscaster’s spine in his hand. I thought the urn-o-Talbot was absolutely hilarious, too. No dissing of [...]
Recap 308: True Blood “Night on the Sun”
Sookie: “If I knew what was best for me, I would have fallen in love with somebody like you.” Alcide: “Back atcha. It’s too bad we’re so stupid, huh?” Now, Eric. Was that fair? What did Talbot ever do to you? Eric finally took off that blood-spattered pastel sweater (and a lot more), symbolizing his [...]
Recap 307: True Blood “Hitting the Ground”
Lorena: “What are you?” Sookie: “I’m the bitch that’s gonna kill you.” This episode was wild, weird, and even bloodier than usual, even for True Blood. But at least it was more focused, and there were rescues and everything. It flowed better than the last few. Let me re-mention the weird thing, though. What the [...]
Recap 306: True Blood “I Got a Right to Sing the Blues”
Russell: “Tell me what you are.” Sookie: “I’m a waitress.” Russell: “Yes, and I am Marie of Romania.” When I begin a review, I usually start with the prevailing theme of the episode. This one was such a violent jumble that all I could think of was half-naked men and a whole lot of blood. [...]
Recap: Episode 3.04, ’9 Crimes’
Ann: “I know the truth about life. It’s a hell I’ll never get out of alive.” Bill: “No one does.” You know what? This has nothing to do with my obsessive Eric/Sookie shippiness, but I just realized that I like Bill a lot better when he’s not with Sookie. All of Bill’s scenes in this [...]
Recap 303: True Blood “It Hurts Me Too”
Lorena: “The only way to show your love for a human is to stay away. Forever.” I apologize in advance for the pun, but that final sex scene was really twisted. And it had to be frustrating for Bill, who wanted Lorena to suffer, not get off on it. Maybe she considers a flaming lamp [...]
Recap: 302 “Beautifully Broken”
Eric: “You’re going to invite me in so I can protect you. Or have passionate, primal sex with you.” When I think of True Blood, the word that usually springs to mind is “outrageous.” This episode was definitely outrageous. Nazi werewolves fueled by vampire blood? If they’ve been around since World War II and Eric [...]
Recap: True Blood 301 “Bad Blood”
Arlene: “I’m sorry you fell in love with a serial killer, all right? But honestly, who here hasn’t?” Definitely fast-moving and fun to watch, and I wasn’t bored for a moment. In fact, there was so much going on that I almost couldn’t track it. Maybe I should watch the episode a few more times, [...]
