Overall, this season is better than last, but it took a bit to get there. Higher highs, and lower lows.

It's a buildup episode to the next few episodes, finishing out the season with a bang.

It was interesting that Sookie recognized a similarity between Godric's affinity towards humans and Bill's. Could Bill be Godric 1700 years down the line? Did Godric once love a human woman?

ShaniFaye · 08-17-2009, 03:58 PM

who knows, the Godric of the show is not the Godric of the book so we have no back story for the "john lennon" of vampires to draw from. Book Godric only liked little boys and tortured and abused them for fun and games before he killed them

ShaniFaye · 08-24-2009, 07:36 AM

To me this was really Jason's episode.

From his reaction to Maxine, to his interest there was a new (albeit dead) waitress at Merlotte's, to chainsawing the cd player, to getting out Sam and Andy from the freezer to playing "God" to his reaction to Sam disappearing and showing back up in a kitchen apron with a strategically placed apron string, I was falling off the couch laughing in every scene he was in.

Someone remind me, didnt the Dr say something when she was curing Sookie from MaryAnn's scratches about the poison being harmful in someway to Vamps? I cant remember.

LaFayette's line about he and Jesus agreeing to see other people was awesome.

The condition of Sookie's house breaks my heart, I hope once all this is settled it will "magically" go back to how it was....but then there is going to be a LOT of clean up going on at Merlotte's too.

Cant wait to see what happens with Jessica because of her attacking Maxine.

I know Hadley has been cast, but she isnt scheduled to show up yet is she? (Could be Sophies "food" if she does?)

all in all this epi really made Jason shine

Just as a side note, before it came on, Dave and I were watching an old episode of Criminal Minds that starred Andy, it was weird to watch an hour of him in that and then switch to drunkin "pig" Andy lol

This season started painfully slow, but it's rushing to be a great season finale.

Vampire blood didn't seem to have any effect on the wound, at least not Bill's blood, but it doesn't appear anything was said in the TV series.

You're not exactly helping the "not like Twilight" argument

I can see the similarities, but True Blood is entertaining and tolerable, despite its many flaws. Twilight is garbage, and nothing more. It's not insignificant that Twilight follows idiotic teenagers while True Blood follows idiotic adults.

ShaniFaye · 08-27-2009, 02:03 AM

And I don't recall Eric having such heavy bags under his eyes in the first season. Really distracting, along with the tomahawk-chopped haircut.

Jason needs a new girlfriend for me to get interested again; that was the "gratuitously good" portion of the show's three-part formula, where tops were optionable.

guy44 · 08-31-2009, 07:34 PM

You know, at least when Angel got to be somewhat tiresome as a no-fun having do-gooder on Buffy and Angel, all the other characters would make fun of him for it. Nobody in True Blood seems to get how fucking dull Bill is. I mean Jason spent the season as a brainwashed Christian warrior and has morphed into a zombie killer armed to the teeth. Maryanne is a batshit crazy goddess of chaos. Eric flies now for some reason. Even Godric's clothes are so badass they couldn't be damaged by an explosion. Evan Rachel Wood's queen is like something from John Waters' wet dreams. Pretty much all the other townsfolk are having nonstop orgies. They are all a thousand times more interesting than Bill!

...actually, come to think of it, almost all the original main characters are just boring as fuck. Who cares about Sam at all? Or Tara and her boyfriend-with-the-worst-name-ever? Sookie and Bill have gotten so massively dull that on the street now I'm overhearing people joking about their "Sooooookie!" "Bill!" "Soooooookie!" dialogue.

I predict that by season 4 every episode will be people killing each other with mystical chainsaws and drinking blood and having crazy bisexual orgies with utterly no plot.

Willravel · 08-31-2009, 08:57 PM

I like Jessica, her storyline with Hoyt has really been refreshing. I'd watch a show with just them, to be honest.

And the Jason seduction storyline was absolutely awesome. It was a fun way to deal with the fundies.

If Eggs dies, the entire season will be totally worth it.

I hope they kill Eggs off also.

I just caught up this early morning. I thought each season would have 13 episodes, and I thought ep. 12 premiered last week, but what the hey.. that was a good enough resolution to this season.

Oh, and to paraphrase:

ugh, Im glad Eggs is gone...though he didnt die like in the book, this will make for an interesting storyline next season if they continue it, it think somehow it will have a profound affect on Jason.

I have a tiny little beef with how they ended the Maryann line, They have made a big point out of portraying the fact that Sam has to have the animal to imprint on before he can change into it (in the books he could just see a picture, but they didnt mention that in the show), so how the heck did he change into the bull?

My heart was just breaking for Hoyt and I have no clue what the hell Jessica was up to.

Eggs is dead wooohooooo

Willravel · 09-14-2009, 01:24 PM

There was something poetic about MaryAnn's death. It kinda worked. I was worried it would be anticlimactic, but it was certainly visually arresting to see the white bull pierce her heart, only to have it revert to Sam holding her heart.

Regarding your beef (HA!), maybe Bill and Sam had a bull around as part of the plan.

The best part of the entire series I've seen so far was Sam with his adopted parents. It was so quiet, painful and honest.

guy44 · 09-14-2009, 08:54 PM

Blech, what a mess of a season finale. Yes, the shots of Maryann with the bull were beautifully shot. But a whole season of slooooooooooowly getting around to Maryann's "wedding," filled with endless pointless orgies and black eyes, ends justlikethis with the lamest and most predictable switcheroo of all time.

Plus, they totally dropped the whole "Sookie has electric light powers" thing. What was that about?

Then, they perfunctorily went about setting up season 3 as if they couldn't leave behind season 2 fast enough. And I really look forward to more dumbass soul-searching from Jason after killing Eggs, a la the second half of season one.

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I just want to watch Jessica and Eric and the Queen fuck with everybody else all the time. They're waaaay more fun than the rest of this show.

I'd kill for an episode with 20 lines of dialogue that weren't directly tied to advancing the plot or expository.

...I realize I complain a lot about this show but it is so much more willing to do crazy shit than any other show on tv that I just want it to do it well.

Willravel · 09-14-2009, 08:56 PM

I'm just hoping Sam starts having awkward and confusing dreams about Bill.

Yep, I was left feeling like - 'is that it?' at the end. The final cliffhanger just seemed kinda anti climactic.

ShaniFaye · 09-15-2009, 09:02 AM

Here is a good post finale, pre-season 3 interview with Alan I just love the last question and answer

Exclusive: 'True Blood' finale postmortem with Alan Ball! | Ausiello | EW.com

Quote:

Though last night’s True Blood finale tied up a bunch of loose ends, it also untied a bunch more! For instance (spoiler alert): Who kidnapped Bill? Why was Eric mostly MIA? Will the Queen return? Are Jessica and Hoyt over? What is Sookie? And that’s for starters. Luckily, series creator Alan Ball agreed to a little post-episode Q&A to finish us off.

Some folks were surprised by the structure of the finale and your decision to wrap up the Maryann story in the first 30 minutes.
ALAN BALL: I try to look at the show as basically almost like it’s a novel, and each episode is a chapter. I guess I’m influenced by the fact that when I watch TV shows, I watch the [DVD] boxed sets. Ultimately, it’s just organically the way it worked out. And the season finale last year was very similar.

Why wasn’t there more Eric in the finale?
BALL: There is a reason for not seeing Eric in the last part of the episode, but if I explain it, I’ll be [giving away] too much.

Will he be prominent next season?
BALL: Yes. Although, when I saw your [latest episode of Ausiello TV], for a moment I thought, we’re going to have to kill Eric, because you are the man. I thought wow, I had many seasons of Eric planned but I guess I’ll have to off him. [Laughs]

Speaking of which, are you surprised at how passionate the Sookie/Eric fans are?
BALL: Yes. I try not to get involved in that because it just sort of — it’s too confusing. I don’t want it to influence what the show is. Personally, I’m like, yes, Eric’s hot, but beyond that he’s dangerous, and I don’t know if he’d love anybody besides himself. What’s the appeal there? The bad boy? The danger?

Why wasn’t Sookie susceptible to Maryann’s powers but Jason was? Do they have different parents?
BALL: They have the same parents. We will find out what Sookie is [next season]. There are such things as dominant and recessive genes. Maybe Jason is fundamentally human but he has a trace of some non-human stuff. He’s kind of a ridiculously perfect [human being]. He’s athletic and has that charisma thing, so maybe he had some help in that regard. [Laughs] Ultimately, if you look at percentages, he’s mostly human. Sookie has a stronger genetic predisposition in another direction. People who have read the books know exactly what I’m talking about. People who haven’t, it will be revealed.

What’s up with the Queen’s Yahtzee obsession?
BALL: You’re 400 years old. What are you going to do? [Laughs] It’s something we came up with in the room and we thought it was funny.

Fans are polarized about Evan Rachel Wood as the Queen. A big complaint is that she doesn’t come off scary enough.
BALL: She will. You don’t want to introduce a character you’re going to see later and blow your wad up front. It’s funny because the fans are so rabid. Of course, that’s fantastic. And the fact that they’re so completely wrapped up in the show and they get upset and they think, “I don’t like that! I love that.” It means people are watching and the show is really affecting them. I think of the show as having a long life. You can’t explain everything and blow your wad in the first episode the first time time you introduce a character. All I can say is keep watching. It will make sense.

Will she return next season as a series regular?
BALL: She won’t be a series regular, but she will appear. Every state has its own vampire royalty. We will meet the King of Mississippi and there will be some interesting stuff happening between him and Evan’s Queen. (Find out who’s just been cast as the King!)

As much as I loved Michelle Forbes’ portrayal of Maryann, the story felt like it dragged on a little long. Why did it take her so long to get to the endgame?
BALL: That’s part of what the queen talks about. They’re always improvising. She really can’t conjure up a God. But she’s so fervent in her belief; she keeps trying this sacrifice and that sacrifice. She’s completely delusional. She killed Miss Jeanette and I think she thought that was going to work. She always thinks it’s going to work. It never does because the God who comes never actually comes. But she so fervently believes that he will, and she’s been believing it for thousands of years. That’s how they were able to outsmart her.

Have we seen the last of her?
BALL: Yes, she’s gone. They destroyed her. She will never rise — which I hate because I love [Michelle], and she was so much fun to work with. She’s really delightful and everyone loves her and we hated to kill her but we had to.

How closely will you follow the third book next season?
BALL: We take the gist of the books, [but] we will depart whenever we feel like it makes better television as opposed to reading. We continue to use the books as templates. But now that I’ve read all nine books there are things that are revealed in later books that we are moving up so that they’ll probably happen in the show earlier than they do in the books.

Will you introduce werewolf Alcide?
BALL: Yes.

Have you cast him?
BALL: No. We will also meet Sam’s blood relatives, the super bad vampire Franklin Mott, we’ll meet Debbie Pelt, we will actually meet the people who live in Hotshot a little bit ahead of schedule. We’ve already broken four episodes and I’ve sent writers out to write scripts over the hiatus.

Have we seen the last of the Fellowship of the Sun?
BALL: No. Just because Steve got humiliated, they still exist. And maybe he’s angrier than ever.

The fact that Jason killed Eggs has me thinking you might restart the Jason-Tara love story next season. Will you?
BALL: Certainly, Jason is going to be consumed with guilt. And he’s going to feel like, “I’ve ruined her life and I’ve got to make her feel better.” Whether that’s wise in any way shape or form remains to be seen. I think Tara certainly gave up on her obsession with Jason, but now that she’s dealing with the worst thing that ever happened to her, she might be more vulnerable to his charms.

Is Tara ever going to be in a happy relationship?
BALL: Happy relationships are boring. We all want them in our own life. But I don’t want to watch them on TV.

Any plans to give Lafayette a boyfriend?
BALL: Yes.

Anything imminent?
BALL: Nothing I can talk about. But certainly we will see more and more of Lafayette. He built a lot of walls around himself. But we will see him get vulnerable next year — and not just being afraid of Eric.

Any regrets killing off Godric? As I’m sure you’re aware the character was very well-received.
BALL: There’s no regret in killing him off because I think that [story was] really powerful. That was my favorite thing about the second book. However, we can always go back in history. He and Eric had a relationship for a thousand years. We can always go back and see him again.

Are Hoyt and Jessica doomed?
BALL: They still love each other. But there will be problems — as you probably could tell based on last night’s episode.

You do realize how awesome those two are together, right?
BALL: I totally know that.

How long do we have to wait for season 3?
BALL: It’s probably going to premiere around the same time it did this year. We’re going to try to shoot one episode before the Christmas break. I don’t know if HBO will bring the show back earlier, but it certainly won’t be later.

Is there anything I’m forgetting to ask you?
BALL: I’m surprised you didn’t ask who took Bill.

Who took Bill?
BALL: It was Hoyt’s mother.

Willravel ... a sort of licensed troubleshooter.	I like Jessica, her storyline with Hoyt has really been refreshing. I'd watch a show with just them, to be honest. And the Jason seduction storyline was absolutely awesome. It was a fun way to deal with the fundies. If Eggs dies, the entire season will be totally worth it.

kutulu Junkie	OMG Eric can fly! He's officially the biggest badass ever. It was great having Jason Stackhouse back, he's a fun character. I hope they kill Eggs off also.

ShaniFaye Submit to me, you know you want to Location: Lilburn, Ga	ugh, Im glad Eggs is gone...though he didnt die like in the book, this will make for an interesting storyline next season if they continue it, it think somehow it will have a profound affect on Jason. I have a tiny little beef with how they ended the Maryann line, They have made a big point out of portraying the fact that Sam has to have the animal to imprint on before he can change into it (in the books he could just see a picture, but they didnt mention that in the show), so how the heck did he change into the bull? My heart was just breaking for Hoyt and I have no clue what the hell Jessica was up to. Eggs is dead wooohooooo __________________ *I want the diabetic plan that comes with rollover carbs.

Willravel ... a sort of licensed troubleshooter.	There was something poetic about MaryAnn's death. It kinda worked. I was worried it would be anticlimactic, but it was certainly visually arresting to see the white bull pierce her heart, only to have it revert to Sam holding her heart. Regarding your beef (HA!), maybe Bill and Sam had a bull around as part of the plan. The best part of the entire series I've seen so far was Sam with his adopted parents. It was so quiet, painful and honest.

guy44 Somnabulist Location: corner of No and Where	Blech, what a mess of a season finale. Yes, the shots of Maryann with the bull were beautifully shot. But a whole season of slooooooooooowly getting around to Maryann's "wedding," filled with endless pointless orgies and black eyes, ends justlikethis with the lamest and most predictable switcheroo of all time. Plus, they totally dropped the whole "Sookie has electric light powers" thing. What was that about? Then, they perfunctorily went about setting up season 3 as if they couldn't leave behind season 2 fast enough. And I really look forward to more dumbass soul-searching from Jason after killing Eggs, a la the second half of season one. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I just want to watch Jessica and Eric and the Queen fuck with everybody else all the time. They're waaaay more fun than the rest of this show. I'd kill for an episode with 20 lines of dialogue that weren't directly tied to advancing the plot or expository. ...I realize I complain a lot about this show but it is so much more willing to do crazy shit than any other show on tv that I just want it to do it well. __________________ "You have reached Ritual Sacrifice.
