Now that was an enjoyable episode. I love Jason. "Is Bigfoot real? Santa?" Hilarious. Then his, "its you and me. You marry Bill, then it is you, me, and Bill." Jason is sooo funny. His friendship with Andy, catching the drugdealer. All good stuff. Next we have Terry who was simply adorable reading that list to Arlene. Poor Jessica. She and Hoyt have got to get back together. I hope that Pam took the body.

Great to see Alfre Woodward. Jesus is a hottie. He was Santos on Ugly Betty. Lucky Lafayette. Tara is lucky to him in her life. James Frain looking sickly and dangerous. I can't wait to see more of his character next week.

I cracked up at Sookie imitating Bill. Eric was so yummy. There has to be better love interest for him than Sookie.

Cooter is a serious hottie. He has a great body. The actor was on Ugly Betty too. I hope that we get to see more of him.

I think Franklin was going through Bill's desk and found that hidden compartment in his secretary with the dossier on Soookie, proving Bill was lying to the King when he claimed his move to Bon Temps was only about mainstreaming. That's why they showed the shoes of the person walking through the house and then showed Franklin from the boots up.

My theory is that Franklin took care of the body thinking that it was Bill who left it lying around. When your boss has an agenda with regards to a vampire, and you are the investigator, you don't leave the trash lying around to stink up the joint and drawing the unwanted attention of humans and cops. I am grateful that we didn't have to see Jessica cutting him up with a chainsaw. Especially when she lives right next door to a cemetery and re-digging a recent grave and tossing a second body in would have been a logical option.

The comedic writing on this show is just brilliant.

Jason: There’s werewolves?

Sookie: Yes.

Jason: Holy shit....Bigfoot, is he real too?

Sookie: I don’t know. I guess it’s possible.

Jason: Santa?

Sookie: Jason, focus.

:lol:

Jason: Hey, I got one. I got one of your drug dealer.

Just the way RK said it was hilarious.

Terry: ....but I made a list.

Arlene: A list of what?

Terry: Ten reasons why you can trust me with your kids. Number one: I’m a nurturer. I found a baby armadillo by the side of the road and I nursed it. And now it sleeps under my bed. Its name is Felix. Number two: I have a diploma from anger management, where I learned talking about your feelings is a manly thing to do. Number three: I never killed nothing by accident.

:lol:

I also laughed at the blood menu: cruelty free blood, blood gelato. LOL

I really like the vampire politics/royalty/territory aspect. I want to see more of this.

Okay, so the werewolves can drink vampire blood to heal - I don't think I've seen that in other vampire universes before, so that was interesting to see.

Terrific episode even if it still felt like we're just getting exposition and set up (I guess that makes sense--but there were what, 6 new characters introduced? Or maybe it justfelt like it). And yeah some really classic dialogue. Also, loved how with barely a thought, as soon as Lorenna appeared Bill shot up and flung the lamp at her.

I do have to say I'm a bit mixed about how segmented the stories and characters are from one another (I thought Season 2's only real flaw was keeping the characters so far apart for so long) though I know both Ball and critics have said by episode 4 it all joins together.

I'm trying to stay spoiler free so this is just a theory, but I wonder if the King was going to stick to his word release Bill after offering his proposal, but Bill being impulsive and throwing that light at Lorena is going to give them justification for keeping him prisoner for a long time. I don't think trying to kill your maker is behavior the magistrate looks fondly upon.

Yay Joe Manganiello debuted... yum yum. :lol:

I'm really feeling this Franklin guy. Very interested to see what the hell he's up to.

And that ending was terrific! Bill banging Lorena in a craze, twisting her head like that :o And she's like "yeah, I still love you!" Awesome ending.

Bill twisting Lorena's head around made me sick and disgusted.

If vampires can glamour someone to let them in, what is the point of them needing an invitation?

Overall, I didn't find this episode very entertaining.

Yeah, I could've lived without seeing that.

It was nice seeing Sookie forget her obsession with Bill long enough to pay for Eggs funeral and be there for Tara.

That scene between Lafayette and Eric when Eric gave him the car was so wonderful. "Have a seat, sweetheart." *pats passenger seat*

Sylph you never liked the show :P Alan Ball somehow never managed to "deceive" you into enjoying it.

I thought it was a terrific episode--best so far this year. I especially loved the smaller moments like Jason actually talking to Tara (did they interact at all last year?) etc. Brilliant stuff.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
