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 agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.

    • I swear this entire time I thought Roman knew about the Phillip/Vivian letter lol.  I do like how mature Roman/Kate are as a couple.  It makes me sad the new writers never got a chance to write for John/Marlena. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the Felicity stuff is a bit after school special-y.  I am pretty sure that (most) of the viewing audience is aware that a grown man should not be shouting at any teenage girl especially one with disabilities.  Just let Xander apologize and move on. Linsey Godfrey was in her Sarah baby voice mode today and it irritates me to no end.   I know it's a cutesy thing her and Xander do but it's annoying. Bringing Kevin back is strange, but I do like the use of history.  I do think Rex probably could have been used instead, but whatever.  I don't care about Rex much either lol.
    • I mean over the past decades. But I do agree that in recent years now, the writing is not working for them as well as it used to then. It's same old, same old...which is what made the Damian storyline refreshing. At least for me.   
    • Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.
    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
