Yeah, it's an absolutely ridiculous complaint--those same viewers probably shoulda just tuned out back in Season one when we saw Jason's ass 5 times an episode...

Southofnowhere--Alcide should be sticking around--I haven't read the later novels, but he becomes a major character in them, I know.

I agree and disagree with the too many stories thing. I hate, as I've said, that we get stories (and Sam, a character I love, always seems to suffer this)that exist, as was said, "on an island". And I think there's always a concern when so many characters are in different locations (a rule most soap opera fans know)--I feel like they've hardly even explored as much of Bon Temps as they could. But I know *that* is a problem in the books too--the second book, like the series, was largely set in Dallas, the third in Mississippi as we're seeing. But I admit I do like the fact the show has so many stories going at once--as long as the pay off is worth it... But I do sometimes find it frustrating when, for example, I realize we're past the half hour point in the show and haven't seen a fave character like Lafayette or Jessica yet...

So much blood in this episode! LOL Tara smashing in Franklin's head was a :o moment.

For some reason, this season I've been entranced by Mariana Klaveno/Lorena. Whenever she's on, I can't take my eyes off her - she really has beautiful eyes.

I wish Jessica would have more screen time. I want more Jessica!

So not interested in Sam's family.

"I will rip out your Ribcage and wear it as a hat", Buffy to Whistler, Becoming Part 2 and Lorena to Sookie, lol. I think Alan Ball might have finally watched Buffy because so many things in that episode were shout outs. Jason wearing a highschool jacket that looked a lot like the Sunny Dale High ones. Pulling a jock out of a red convertible with a QB One license plate so reminded me of Cordy's red car with the Queen Bee plate.

This episode would have been absolute perfection if it wasn't for that Chrystal and Jason crap, I just can't get interested in it. Most of their casting is spot on but she's just blah. What does Jason see in her?

MK is a stunning force of nature in the role of Lorena. I can't believe that her torturing Bill made me feel more sorry for her than for him. I am going to miss her and all her delightful outfits if she's

AB should have back story drops of True Blood and one of them featuring Lorena. Why is she the way she is, Bill mentioned her maker so I would like to see him.

Ball blogged that that was a reference/hommage to Buffy. I *hate* the term--hated it then, hate it now. Partly cuz it's so icky--so point made, but also cuz... What kinda hat would a ribcage make? Come on--even for haute couture :P

I think I'm the only one in the world who likes the Sam plot--but I can agree it's been way too slow and obvious--and they need to mix him up with the other characters. From spoilers, it sounds like they may...

I think both Jessica and Lorena have been 80% brilliant cuz of the two actresses. Superb finds on the part of TB casting. I loved watching the Comicon clips where they asked Charlaine Harris what she prefered in the TV show (poor lady--it's hard to admit that EVERYTHING is superior in an adaptation of your work ;) ) and she said when she saw both of those roles were becoming permanent, she blanched. But in both, particularly with Jessica and having a vamp figuring out her ropes, she realizes she had really neglected elements in her books.

She said "I am NOT Ishtvan" right? I'd like to see a flashback too. We know she was an innocent gypsy...

I want every soap writer currently working to watch what Tara did in this episode. I love you Tara Mae Thornton! OTOH, my feelings for Sookie range from intense boredom to intense annoyance to intense hatred.

I wish they would tone down the gore a little bit. It's starting to get to me.

So what in the heck is Sookie? A Fairy or Mermaid????

Bill tries to suck Sookie dy and he thinks every is hunky-dory?

I hope that it with the dogfightinh/creepy parents.

LONG LIVE the Vampire King. He ROCKS so FREAKING hard.

Kewl to see the gay guy b the strongest character on the whole show. Can't see anyone taking him down. He's too freaking powerful!

Looks like the Wolf can't go back to hios old pack is part of the gang. Really want he and Tara to hookup!

    • 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.)
