"she didn't have the same necklace as Salome and Nora."

That necklace isn't special... well not exactly. All members of the authority have it. It's just a symbol for the authority. Some have it on a necklace, some have it as a pin. I'm guessing some have both and it just depends on what looks best with their outfit.

I think Texas lady, the red haired lady who has referred to texas in the show, is actually wearing it as a pin in the picture above.

7/13/2012 7:44:28 PM

yeah...she's worn a variety of necklaces so far so i'm guessing she probably has one and accessorizes her outfits accordingly

7/13/2012 8:40:52 PM

See, I thought she just had it as a pin, which is what I've seen her wear it as so far. But if she has a necklace and a pin, it's definitely possible.

7/13/2012 9:39:08 PM

The necklace is J Crew. It could literally be anyone.

7/13/2012 11:01:23 PM

As always...the True Blood Comic Con trailer for the remainder of the season. SPOILERS (duh)

http://youtu.be/z7X7zU2NcEw

7/15/2012 1:39:11 PM

Bah, that doesn't fill me with anticipation for the rest of this season.

7/15/2012 3:11:54 PM

I disagree. Spoilers ahead














Russell has been the best character change they've ever made...aside from not killing Lafayette. His clips are worth being excited for the remainder of the season IMO. Also, I'm glad to see one part of the books sticking around...I've thought they would keep that story alive since ep1 of this season, and I'm glad it seems to be so.

















End spoilers

7/15/2012 4:45:51 PM

Oh, I'm excited to see where they take it, but I just hope they don't follow through on some of the hints from the spoiler video (Sookie's choices for instance).

7/15/2012 5:38:31 PM

Hah, okay, that clears up one thing from the spoilers video!

7/15/2012 9:15:06 PM

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

7/15/2012 9:59:09 PM

Okay, that was a good episode. Hate to see him go though! I liked his character.

7/15/2012 10:00:31 PM

^ same here. He's probably been my favorite character this season and he was certainly the best of the authority group. So now we're back to all of the same old characters and a few extras that haven't really stood out.

I'm also glad they're avoiding the fairy story-line from last season--- because that SUCKED.

I really didn't like the Terry storyline all of this season, but I thought of something tonight that made me at least appreciate it a little more. While the supernatural stuff with him is new this season, they've been beating this "baggage from when he was in the war" drum since day one. I'm glad they're actually doing something with it since it's been so present for so long, and I'm glad they're FINALLY doing something with it that may allow them to get past it. -- I still don't really care for the fire monster crap necessarily. But I'm not so annoyed with it with that in mind.

7/15/2012 11:08:10 PM

Who is it that Sookie and Jason for are looking for in the fairy club? They were talking to their cousin about it and that other fairy pointed out a bunch of other fairies (Claudia? Claudette?) as people that we should know.

7/15/2012 11:14:43 PM

i'm just glad the authority guy asked eric and bill why they were driving a car when they can run way faster.

7/15/2012 11:19:10 PM

^^They were looking for her cousin, Hadley, and her son, hunter (we met him in season 3...he and sookie had a conversation with their minds at a carnival). Whom they found aside from actually seeing hunter...he's just "there and safe"
Claude, the male fairy, is the brother of Claudine...whom Eric drained last season while under the witch spell. He has three other sisters who he then pointed out. Now they are sticking around, asking about vampires killing their parents, and sookie is getting finger blasted (heh).

So...whoever was trying to get sookie then but killed her parents instead could very well still be trying to find her...if we haven't met him or her already (I don't think we have).

7/15/2012 11:38:21 PM

Or Claude could be a liar.

7/16/2012 7:41:35 AM

So the Authority turns on the guardian and Russell kills him while Bill and Eric are in the room. Who is gonna prevent Russell from killing Bill and Eric since they are the two responsible for his demise in the first place? I'm not gonna buy some kind of bullshit treaty as a reason they survive. Russell is too batshit crazy.

7/16/2012 7:49:44 AM

Why didn't *they* kill Russell in the first place? They wanted him to suffer worse than the true death. Surely it's conceivable that he wants them to witness the destruction he's going to wreak while undergoing intermittent UV bursts.

7/16/2012 8:51:02 AM

I guess this means they're letting Nora go now?

7/16/2012 9:12:19 AM

I thought I saw in the preview (at the end of the show) that the authority members (at least the German guy) were in the cell with Eric and Bill.

7/16/2012 10:35:28 AM

I'd think the second Russell jumped on the Guardian and was about to stake him all the other vampires would jump on him to restrain him or kill him or something. And I'd think given how strong/dangerous Russell is, they'd have armed guards or some kind of UV lights or something in the execution area, just in case.

Also, Eric mentioned that Russell is the strongest vampire he's ever known... I guess that means he is older than Godric, right?

7/16/2012 10:41:21 AM

^^Ah, I haven't seen the preview yet for next week. That's interesting.
^Yes, and don't forget Russell was well on his way to collecting trophies, like the one from Eric's father, when Eric was made. So, he was powerful even then. Apparently he is 3,000 years old, and Godric is about 2,000 years old. Eric is over a 1,000.

Considering his iStake was sabotaged I'd say one or more high-ranking members of the Authority (my guess is Salome) is working with him.

7/16/2012 10:56:33 AM

I feel bad that the guardian had to die wearing that awful nike shirt... wtf

I really want to know the back story to some of these older vampires like Russell and Godric.

7/16/2012 1:41:32 PM

Yeah thought it was obvious the last 3-4 episodes that Salome was the traitor. Thought last week they made it a little too obvious when they made sure to show her necklace after they showed the footage of Russell being freed. They showed Nora's and paused on it but they did the same with Salome just not as blatantly.

Also didn't understand why not one attempted to save the head of the Authority, seems like even as strong as he is, that many on one they'd have had at least a shot.

7/16/2012 2:49:54 PM

Because they were all in on betraying the guardian. They were all siding with Russell.

7/16/2012 2:59:23 PM

It's getting a little convoluted. Why did they need Eric and Bill if they were all in on bringing Russell in? Hell, if any of them are in on it, why did they need Eric and Bill to find him since they were the ones stashing him in the first place? They could just go and pick him up and pretend he was their prisoner all the same.

7/16/2012 4:04:33 PM

Unless they didn't plan on Bill/Eric finding out about the disappearance of Russell, or having them offer to find him in exchange for their personal freedom. The rest of the authority argued that he was dead, and they should just go ahead and kill Bill and Eric. They likely wanted Russell out there terrorizing before it was brought to the knowledge of the Guardian that he was on the loose.

That is, if they were all in on it.

[Edited on July 16, 2012 at 4:12 PM. Reason : But yes, it's getting a bit convoluted, and they have to start bringing some of it together soon.]

7/16/2012 4:12:00 PM

I think the only vampires of the authority definitely in on Russell's whereabouts were Salome, Nora & Kibwe (Peter Mensah's character). I think this based on the death of the humans, he wanted to keep Eric & Bill alive and a raised eyebrow he gave when Texan, kid and German vamp were having a little joke about Lilith. Also...Salome was the only other one that wanted Eric & Bill alive. Nora as well--I think she trying to get them away & be tortured/jailed was part of the plan.

All the vamps in the authority that wanted Eric & Bill dead were not Sanguinista. I don't even think the kid vamp was, OR Kibwe/Salome planted it.

It's also obvious Russell is NOT Sanguinista--he just likes human blood as it "makes his dick hard"--but even at his weakened state b/c he's "a Sanguinista poster boy" he's the best one to kill Roman.

I think this whole thing is pure religion fanatical view that the death of the Guardian by Russell's hand will somehow bring Lilith back to life or more simply put an end to the authority and mainstreaming. Having Eric & Bill "bring Russell in" was the only way to keep their hands clean so Roman wouldn't suspect any other members and get Russell close enough to Roman so he would kill Roman.

I don't think Russell will join the Sanguinista cause. And if Eric gets out of this it will be b/c he gets help or b/c he's still weak Eric can get the better of him right now.

7/16/2012 6:45:20 PM

also

7/17/2012 10:08:23 AM

So, I think I might be the only person who didn't know that Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are married in real life. Also, expecting twins.

7/17/2012 8:19:55 PM

YES WE CAN!

7/17/2012 10:00:19 PM

Not my favorite episode.

7/22/2012 10:16:56 PM

OR take everything I just said and add a stupid blood acid trip...

Man I am disappoint. Kill one of the best actors they've had last ep and dumb down Russell as a "sure I'll hop on the Lilith train" tripping zombie. Boo...bah!! *grumble*

But hey! Godric cameo. Pam is really helping Tara's image. And..............bud dearborn!

7/22/2012 10:27:33 PM

caught the last 10 minutes waiting on newsroom to come on

saw chick shooting lasers out of her hands and lolled

7/22/2012 10:33:05 PM

And now you know how I feel about Harry potter...move along saps

7/22/2012 10:34:59 PM

lol

7/22/2012 10:38:02 PM

Russell was pretty much the only character I enjoyed this episode. His flare fit in well. But I could do without the intoxicated vampires, emo Sookie, haterade Hoyt and police dog Sam.

7/22/2012 10:38:37 PM

I agree. I just don't think Russell needs to be intoxicated. He's enjoyable all on his own.

But yeh...like you, not my favorite episode :/

Gah! Haterade Hoyt! Forgot all about it and I just watched it. Yeah that was terrible.

[Edited on July 22, 2012 at 10:47 PM. Reason : ]

7/22/2012 10:42:59 PM

Really weird episode. Sam recovered from that gunshot wound really quickly.

7/23/2012 9:24:45 AM

instead of talking about the things wrong with this episode can we talk about the one most completely right thing in this episode....



REVEREND STEVE NEWLIN!


ahhaha....i love him more and more and more

7/23/2012 10:41:44 AM

haha yes. one of the redeeming moments of the night. "I'm just like a tree in the wind: Happy to be here!" lol

also is it wrong that I liked Pam's hair

7/23/2012 10:43:16 AM

i, too, was a product of the early-mid 90s...

i can dig they crimped hair

7/23/2012 10:45:30 AM

lol at Steve Newlin's cosby sweater btw. All the vampires are wearing expensive suits/etc and he's just walking around like he's about to eat some jello pudding.

7/23/2012 10:52:29 AM

i about wet my pants when Bill jumped on Eric's back for a piggy back ride

7/23/2012 11:04:14 AM

haha i liked the episode. Sookie pisses me off though

also I spent forever trying to find my crimper plates for my old straightening iron They have to be in one of my boxes!

7/23/2012 11:07:39 AM

I, too, thought Bill riding Eric was quite funny.

7/23/2012 11:09:31 AM

^I forgot about that! Best weird part of the episode. I did enjoy the drunken stroll down the street.

7/23/2012 11:10:31 AM

So Lilith is real and that was really Lilith's blood they are tripping on?

I need a back story on Roman and Russell.

My heart stopped for a minute when Jason shot Jessica. For a second, I thought they were writing her out of the show. Then I realized it was just a regular bullet and she was already healing.

Is Q***n gonna show up during the wolf fight?

I normally encourage more Laffy scenes, but I don't know if I'm on board with this bruha story arc.

I think Sam is gonna end up killing Hoyt.
