Members MarkH Posted September 14, 2009 Members Share Posted September 14, 2009 Ugh...I typed a lot and it was lost. No time to fix now. Summary: 3rd last episode was best. Liked: Maenad goring, Jessica's shocking return to Vampire ways. Predicted: Bill disappearing at end. Predictable is not good. Want: Eric and Lafayette to be the next big thing...not Sookie and Eric. Hope Hoyt helps Jessica win back her "soul". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BadZoe Posted September 14, 2009 Members Share Posted September 14, 2009 I really wish that Maryanne's demise had lasted 5 more minutes. It was just too quick following show after show of build up. Maybe if it was combined with the previous episode into two hours and extended the extra 10 minutes that the last one left off, it wouldn't come off as almost an afterthought. Were they afraid they'd look like they were ripping off Buffy if the final fight was a fight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 the plotting was awful at the end. the maryann story should have ended the episode before the finale, with everyone dealing with the aftermath the entire next episode and setting up next season's plot. also, i hate how they changed bill leaving sookie in the book for the tv show. i hope they know what they are doing here...

Members BadZoe Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 Some people on tv guide seem to think they are making the queen younger than Eric because of her comment that the one guy tastes like they did when she was first turned, before the industrial revolution came around and ruined everything. I took it more as a statement on pollution's affect on the world rather than a statement of her age. And you are so right that the Maryanne thing should have been wrapped up by the second last episode. They could have cut two orgy scenes and had time to wrap it up. I hope to see Michelle Forbes in another meaty role soon, she was fabulous even if the arc ran a little thin at times. How did they change Bill's leaving from the book? I'm not reading them until the show is done but am curious about some of the differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 Anyone else think that the actress who played Maryanne looks alot like Stacy Haiduk, aka Mary Jane from Y&R. I actually thought it was her doing both shows at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted September 15, 2009 Administrator Share Posted September 15, 2009 What a disappointing end to the season - these last couple of episodes have been pretty bad. I hate the focus on Maryanne and I'm so glad she's dead. Hopefully season 3 will focus on the VAMPIRES! More vampires = better show. That's what I said a couple pages back. They have the same body/facial structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BadZoe Posted September 16, 2009 Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 Southofnowhere, I did try and watch Durham County, in its first season, but just couldn't get into it. I did see a bit of MF on it and she was good but not as delicious as she is in this role. The more I think about this season finale, the more plot holes I find. If Maryanne thought that the pharmacist/voodoo lady and Daphene were the vessel, why wasn't she all dressed up as a bride when she sacrificed them? It would have made more sense if she decided that Suckie was the vessel and when she had her on the sacrificial table, Sam rode in as the bull, fucked the bitch and killed her.

Members Greg's GL Posted September 16, 2009 Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 My sentiments exactly, Julia. And Mark - IA with what you said on the last page as well. Particularly with the predictable "missing" Bill. My bf and I saw that coming a mile away. I don't know if I would call the characters my "favorites", but I seem to gravitate toward what's happening with Eric, Tara, Lafayette, Jason, Sam and (now) Jessica. Very rarely are the supposed "stars" of the show the reason why I tune in. I must say that Sookie's new power does have my interest as well. But the finale laked something. The killing of Maryann was too easy. I keep wondering why Same didn't shift into a Bull sooner? Why not do that when she first came to town or when she started possessing everyone? That was the big whole for me. Other than that, Season 2 gets two thumbs up from me. Looking forward to Season 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Greg's GL Posted September 16, 2009 Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 I came across this interview with Alan Ball on MSNBC. Good read! But be warned, y'all. It contains some spoilers. And one in particular that made my mouth hit the floor! :-) http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32843969/ns/entertainment-television// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted September 16, 2009 Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 The Lafayette spoiler alone guarantees I'll be front row for S3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Greg's GL Posted September 16, 2009 Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 I like the way you think, marceline! I thought the same thing. But my jaw literally hit the ground with the last question in the interview. What did you think about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted September 17, 2009 Members Share Posted September 17, 2009 I think he was kidding. Bill could only be taken by another vamp and the kidnapper was wearing gloves to protect themselves from the silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 I always, always regret reading these types of interviews, but sometimes I can't help myself. WTH is AB talking about? Eric obviously loved Godric and was going to die with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Greg's GL Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 Good point, Julia. I don't know how he could say something like that after seeing him with Godric. Those scenes were pure awesomeness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
