True Blood - 1x09 - Plaisir D'Amour

[fembuck]

So, I don't know who on this list watches True Blood but 

I LOVE PAM!  

There, I said it.

I.  LOVE.  PAM

Seriously, I have developed the biggest girl!crush on her.  She's especially cute when she's all J Crewed out, and being a snarky bitch.  Mmm, Pam.  She gets some of the best lines too:

"You've got vampire in your cleavage" followed by her very slowly digging around in Sookie's bra before looking deeply into her eyes and saying, "I'm beginning to see why there's such a fuss about you."  Her absolute irritation with Ginger when she came into the room and ruined the moment with Sookie was awesome too.  "Sookie, Ginger.  Ginger, Sookie" all quick and irritated and shit. 

LOVE HER.

I ALSO LOVE TARA LIKE A FAT KID LOVES CAKE.  Yes, she has her issues, but Rutina Wesley does a fantastic job making Tara exceptionally sympathetic and I'm rooting for her (and Sam, I like them together)

Soo-kay and Vampire!Bill mostly bore me.

They really need to go something about Eric's hair.  Alexander Skarsgard (I love saying that last name, it's so much fun) is a very good looking man and there's no excuse for them making him look so yucky.

I love me some Lizzy Caplan, but I HATE AMY WITH THE WHITE HOT INTENSITY OF A THOUSAND SUNS!!!  Oh my god this character is vile.  She is a complete psychopath!  Hot, but crazy and her crazy ass has gots to go!

Also, the ending of this episode was comedy gold.

I'm sorry.. is there supposed to be something *wrong* with this statement?

If there's something wrong with loving Pam, then I don't want to be right.

Actually, everyone seems to love Pam. I haven't read a negative thing about her, which is very odd for message boards. Usually females characters get the curd kicked out of them by posters. But everyone seems to love Pam (and Tara, which makes me happy.) Sookie gets the piss taken out of her sometimes... but really, she SHOULD.

In the beginning, I couldn't stand the character but now I just wanna give her a big hug.

This. I found her really abrasive in the first episode, but her snark won me over, and then I just wanted to hug her and tell her that there are people out there who will treat her right, and who she can trust. The actress is really doing an amazing job, cause in lesser hands Tara could be hateful (the recast was a great idea, because the original actress never would have been able to pull this shit off).

they've paired her off with Jason - who I HATE even more.

Oh, I know. Jason is a waste of space. His bonding with Eddie didn't make me like Jason, it made me LIKE EDDIE! Jason and Amy are both disgusting and need to be off my screen. And I don't care what Amy says, I will NEVER forgive him for hitting his sister.

I just don't understand *why* they're giving the character soo much friggin' airtime.

Preach, sistah!

I found her really abrasive in the first episode, but her snark won me over..

It was the episode where she bailed Jason out of jail that won me over. Despite my initial reservations, I think they've done a good job into making her a complex, multi-layered character. Even Tara's mother could have been a one-note character and has turned in ways I wasn't expecting.

Jason is a waste of space.

A waste of space and completely ONE NOTE. After *nine* friggin' episodes this is Jason's characterization - I'm dumb, I'm horny, I'm hooked on 'V'. I just find it completely frustrating since they've done so well with all the other characters.. who get *way* less screen time. He's like the Peter fucking Petrelli of the show.

I mean, seriously, when you and your new partner in crime kidnap a vampire, tie him up in your basement and then torture him by having sex in front of him the LAST thing you do is let your partner in crime work with the pro-vampire person who can READ MINDS!!

i have to say... i also LOVE Lafayette! he's entirely too fierce to give a mention here. and yes, i TOTALLY dig Tara - can't wait to see what kind of 'demon' she got in her... you think that'll work for all of us?

i also LOVE Lafayette!

Lafayette is fantastic! I love him. When he and Tara are on screen together it is like the sun shining directly on me. So much win. If there's one thing (besides Amy and Jason) I'd complain about from last episode it's that there wasn't enough Lafayette.

Come on Alan Ball, there's enough gay in Bon Temps for both Lafayette AND Pam to get screen time ;)

you think that'll work for all of us?

I need to find me a crazy lady living in a bus in the woods!
