how terrible would it have been if someone swatted that fly, killed sam, then he went back to his human form? a naked splatted body on the table??

8/17/2009 3:22:39 PM

i thought it was pretty ballsy of (what is presumed to be) sam to hang out gran's table with eggs, maryanne, and tara present.

8/17/2009 3:50:59 PM

This was probably my favorite show of the season, for all the reasons which have pretty much been mentioned. But especially Eric's character development.

I loved seeing Lafeyette kick the shit out of Eggs. I realize he's being manipulated, but I've never really liked his character. And I didn't like the way he responded at the bar.

Quote :

"I too enjoyed LaFayette beating the shit out of Eggs. Given their respective builds, I'm not so sure it would happen if the two actors actually got in a fight, but hey."

Ehh, I've seen plenty of street fights and professional fights where being jacked didn't really amount to much. Bodybuilding doesn't have much to do with fighting (other than intimidation maybe). I can show you some professional boxers that look like Mr. America but never made it past the friday night fights crowd. And have been beaten by guys who would be comparable to the Lafeyette/eggs match up when just considering build.

8/17/2009 5:52:01 PM

yeah look at Jason and the drill instructor

i was thinking "yeah right" at the time

8/17/2009 5:57:39 PM

i think that was kinda bullshit. It seemed like that guy had some military training. I would assume if you're hiring a guy to run your army to fight vampires, he's probably ex. special forces. At least, that's what I'd be looking for, in addition to other things.

That guy got worked far too easy imo.

8/17/2009 6:35:13 PM

I felt the same way about the Jason/Instructor fight, but I thought about it a bit. The Instructor had been training the cadets and I assume part of the training was hand-to-hand combat so I'm sure the Instructor had taught Jason quite a bit. Factor that in with the Jason being in better shape and faster, it isn't unlikely that he was able to beat him in a fight. But also he had him in a bad spot and then he pissed Jason off, and sometimes that is enough adrenaline to push you over the top.

8/17/2009 10:49:53 PM

eric crying was EPIC.

8/17/2009 11:37:33 PM

GODRIC NOOOOOOOOO

and at first I was meh on Eric, but Sookie's dream was hot

8/17/2009 11:43:51 PM

what do all you girls see in godric/eric and what can i do to replicate that success!

8/18/2009 6:42:24 AM

1st...be a 1000+ year old vampire with not just years of wit under your belt, but years of perfecting what you can do under your belt

2nd...look like alexander skarsgard

3rd...be the kind of guy that you're not sure if he's gonna trick you



cry


or rip your limbs off

and be able to still pull off the scary in hair foils and flip flops

and hopefully...he'll show up in your dreams or your bathtub


or just rock a black tank top like it's your job...

8/18/2009 8:49:32 AM

gosh, at first i was all MEH for Eric as well. but damn if he hasn't grown on me like a horrible fungus

8/18/2009 8:56:02 AM

i've liked eric as a character from the beginning, but for me it was the episode that Bill staked Longshadow on that i really started to like him. but, i think the turning point for a lot of gals on an eric high was when he cut his hair. short >>>> long

admittedly...i like him to the extent that i do now b/c i've read the books. he's so much more interesting and developed in the books...but it looks like AB is getting there with his character development this season, so we'll see and seeing Skarsgard bring Eric to life is a lot of fun to watch. he was cast well.

Reading the last page or so I feel like I'm the only person here who didn't understand the purpose of Godric killing himself. It seemed like he killed himself because he was sick of being a vampire and was sorry for all the terrible things he did as a vampire, not because he was sacrificing for anyone. When Sookie told Eric she would stay with him until it was over I was thinking, "he's a 2000 year old vampire, why the hell would he want your stupid redneck ass with him as he commits suicide?"

And I'm going to have to call BS on you here elkaybie

"When I said "I don't think we've seen the last of him in a white ceremonial robe" I meant it metaphorically, not literally. There is something off and Jesus-like about Godric's character IN THE SERIES that I don't think we've seen the last of him in a similar manner."

This show has always been pretty silly, but it was always entertaining in the first season. I feel like it's just gone full on silly and ridiculous and whenever they try to have a serious scene I'm just

8/18/2009 9:15:39 AM

Sorry you feel that way. I'll PM you how it goes down in the books if you'd like.

8/18/2009 9:29:31 AM

godric killed himself because he was emo.

8/18/2009 10:04:11 AM

Dude.

Godric = Jesus.

GODric. He was wearing all white, gave himself up to better everyone else.

I imagine we may see him again at some point, but I honestly have no idea.

8/18/2009 10:28:05 AM

Godric burned away in 15 seconds at sunrise, yet Bill ran around outside in broad daylight for about 5 minutes during the Season 1 Finale trying to protect Sookie. It just didn't seem right.

8/18/2009 10:57:23 AM

He said it wouldn't take long because he was so old.

8/18/2009 11:00:44 AM

Yeah he said something. Maybe older = more powerful = more energy?

8/18/2009 11:11:32 AM

only thing that bothered me with that was Bill charred versus Godric quantum leap effects

but i guess they would attribute that to age too?

8/18/2009 11:15:30 AM

godric's killing himself didn't better anyone else. hell nan even said something like "relax, it's not that big of a deal, we just need you to fill out some paperwork." he was simply ready to die.

"So the good news is I am starting to like the show. The problem is the community is so terrible. It reminds me of watching The Wire when season 4 came out. You'd try to discuss it and you'd be like, "Michael is a really interesting kid and I wonder where his story is going." and some 13 year old chick would write, "Hes so hot I want to feel his babies in me." Thats how True Blood fans are. Someone writes a post like, "What do you feel about the Godric character" and 90% of the replies are from 45 year old women writing, "I wish he was my student Id let him impregnate me." And this is with every character. I would love to discuss the Eric Northman character, but can't because I fear starting a thread about him and being bombarded by, "I wish he would bite me and rape me in front of my husband." or "I'm 14 and haven't had my period but as soon as I do I will have his vamp baby." Its seriously disgusting people. Also it hurts the show. As long as these people are in the fanbase this show will stoop to their level to keep them watching. That means gratuitous sex scenes, lovers quarrels, and teenage angst with Jessica. This show has vampires and shape shifters...theres plenty of crap out there for you horned up women to watch. Please leave this show alone. Watch like Secret Life of an American Teenager, or The Hills or porn. Just go away please."

8/18/2009 6:24:36 PM

Am I the only one who was underwhelmed with the whole Godrick story line from start to finish?

8/18/2009 7:19:51 PM

no. The only purpose the Godric character served was giving Eric some emotional depth.

8/18/2009 7:38:05 PM

^^I was also hoping to see more of Godric and learn more about him. I see that his story gave more depth to the character of Eric but even in that purpose I feel that there wasn't enough of him.

8/18/2009 7:45:08 PM

The whole pupose of godric was to make eric be on the verge of tears for the whole damn season, thereby wetting the panties of faggy female fans.

8/18/2009 8:20:08 PM

He could still be in the show by way of flashbacks.

I really wouldn't mind if they finished out this Maryann bullshit and next season had a side plot built around past events. This show could tell a lot of story through flashbacks. It could just be someone/something coming into play for the main plot line that has past history with Bil or Eric, which could easily include other vampires we've been introduced to (any from dallas or the 3 from season one that were killed). It would be tough to figure out what to do with the side character like Sam, Tara, and Lafeyette (who is one of the best characters). But it would be a hell of a lot better than this slow-paced, drunken orgy fighting bullshit.

I think he baked faster because he was all old/desiccated and wasn't feeding. All the other vampires you see die are juicy with blood.

I thought Godric was bad ass looking when he turned Eric and killed his two friends. I wish they would show the more bad ass side of him instead of the placid looking emo suicide kid.

^ Your post have gone to complete shit

8/19/2009 3:12:50 PM

^^I wouldn't say it's gone to complete shit, but this season isn't very good. The show was always sort of a silly live action vampire cartoon, but season two has gotten really ridiculous and pretty boring at times.

8/19/2009 5:41:18 PM

just rewatched the eps 1-3...and there were 2 things about maryann's story that stuck out to me more this time

in the first episode. What's up with the statue, and does anyone know what it's called?? Sam picks it up when he goes to take Maryann the bag of cash, and then he has his little flashback. It's a headless woman with her arms in the classic Maryann shimmy position. Carl calls it something, but I can't make out what he says.

in the third, at maryann's 1st party, carl is dishing up a stew and it's when most of the people at bon temps come under maryann's spell. in that stew had to have been ms. jeanette's heart...just like the hunter's souffle had daphne's. didn't make that connection w/ the hunter's soufle since it had been awhile.
