I guess Hoyt, Tara, Terry, and Arlene are the only non-supernatural beings. I was holding out on Lafayette but I guess he's possessed by some witch or ghost or whatever now. I also kind of find it humorous as to the number of hot girls that are in this tiny middle of nowhere Lousiana town. Since episode one, either Sam has been hiring them or Jason has been chasing them.

That scene between Tara and her lover was awful. terrible acting. I wish they'd just get rid of her, she's the only part of the show I don't like.

^^^I can't stand her. Ever since the opening scene of the pilot (where she's working at some Walmart type store) and opened her mouth it's just been, ugh, horrible.

Quote :
"from a reddit post:

As I'm watching the show last night, I realized why the last few episodes looked familiar.
The supernatural blonde broke up with the dark brooding guy. But now all of a sudden, his blonde nemesis has had all of the evil yanked out of him, and she hooked up with him instead after going through a season finale where her friends thought she might be dead but she came back. Meanwhile, the broody guy is off running an evil empire, while still never getting over her. Her childhood best friends have become a witch and a lesbian.

Seriously, they may as well throw in a Sookie-bot and have Eric start listening to the Sex Pistols.

I hadn't even thought of the buffy parallels."


LOL, holy fuck that is true.

a blog i used to read, called Blood Bonds Blog, (which is heavily book fan based, so lots of spoilers) that recapped the show made the Buffy comparison a long time ago (again mainly b/c of the books)...it is pretty interesting how similar that is. So I'd talk to Charlaine Harris before Alan Ball and his writing team.

anywho! finally watched last week's episode having gotten a friend's HBO Go login (we moved, cancelled Dish, i've been HBO-less and ). Glad I'll be able to watch tonight's episode at some point tomorrow.

I thought it was a good episode. Totally called it on Tommy shifting in to a person! Oh, and other non-supernaturals...ANDY! Don't forget Andy.

jesus christ...take out the horribly boring and predictable pillow talk, and we're looking at a 25 minute episode.

25 decent minutes per episode is way better than what we've been getting so far...

I really didn't expect this witch storyline to pickup so quickly!

I saw at least 2-3 episodes of them chaining themselves nightly for a week or so before shit got real

When Jason was charging Bill's house and was tackled, the guard then pointed a gun at him. When Jessica was going for the door, did anybody else hear what sounded like a gunshot? So I'm guessing Jason shot the guard, the guard shot Jason, or the guard's gun is discharged in a struggle. Regardless, I think Jason heroically saves Jessica and that begins their relationship.... poor Hoyt.

I think it's about time for Jessica to move on with her career. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if they killed her off. She was never a character in the books so it makes it easier.

I wish they would do the same for Tara.

I could go either way. One she's a great character addition to the show...but a main character death would be crazy good.

Should be Tara though.

For fuck's sake will Tara just die already!?!? That miserable cunt won't shut the fuck up and blames the whole world for problems she mostly brings on herself.

Such a fucking mood killer

Also I will be sad if they killed Jessica

^^^definitely. She is such a terrible actress. That whole scene afterwards where she's in the car with her "yellowtail" ( <3 Pam for that little pun) was just awful. Then her crying breakdown was even less believable and more annoying to watch.

i really hope they don't kill her, and I'd be surprised if they do. She's one of the most interesting characters on the show and adds a lot of potential to the story. She's a new vampire, the audience can learn a lot about vampires and the mental and emotional progression from being a human, to having that taken from you, to embracing being a vampire (which she is really doing this season), learning about the history of the vampires, etc.

i guess i'm being a bitch since nobody else mentioned it, but is it really that hard to not talk about the books in here? That isnt really spoilery, but it gives us more information than the show does and i, for one, am not looking for extra info.

but :shrug: maybe i'm a loner here

Tara isn't in the books either, but they keep her shitty ass around.

And Lafayette was supposed to die in book 1. He's still around.

Incorrect! She is just not nearly as a big of a character. She's still Sookie's best friend, not nearly as "woe as me" as TV Tara although she does have a troubled childhood of alcoholic parents, and she owns a clothing store in Shreveport.

she moved to new orleans. they don't have accents down there so she lost it.

i did notice that witch woman goes 2-3 words sometimes that don't sound spanish enough, but that's ok.

^ I actually think she does one of the better acting jobs. She goes from feeble and foolish to strong and commanding pretty easily.

I know a lot of people talk about how bad this show has gotten in the later seasons, but I've never really been one of those people. I usually just enjoy the show despite, and sometimes even because of how bad it is.

But this was one shittastic hour of TV. God Damn.
