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.

this is the 1st time i've chimed in on your comments

*waves* Hello!

I LOVE Vampire stuff... although it gets a lil' tedious when they always do the hetero pairing.

This!

I hate it when they never follow through on the subtext. Blade: The Series killed me for this. Krista and Chase had 10x the chemistry of Krista/Marcus, but they went with the boring old het couple instead of smoking hot, and far more interesting lesbian couple.

All I can say is thank goodness for femslash!

yes that was my favorite line too.

The delivery of that line was perfect. Kristin Bauer's voice is like buttah. Seriously, I could listen to that woman read the phone book (and giggle) all day.

i sincerely hope they develop her character - especially if it involves Sookie.

Me too. I want to see lot's more Pam (and Pam flirting with Sookie). I doubt they'd actually "go there" with Pam and Sookie, but I'd love to see a friendship (with flirting), and a love interest for Pam. I need to see Pam GoGA, I need to see it!

I was in the bookstore the other day, and came across this scene in "Living Dead in Dallas", the second book, that I thought you'd get a kick out of it.
Before this scene, Sookie was poisoned and needs to have her blood drained and replaced.

I [Sookie] opened my eyes with great reluctance. I felt that I'd been sleeping in a car, or that I'd taken a nap in a straight-back chair; I'd definitely dozed off somewhere inappropriate and uncomfortable. I felt groggy, and I ached all over. Pam was sitting on the floor a yard away, her wide blue eyes fixed on me.

"It worked," she commented. "Dr. Ludwig was right."

"Great."

"Yes, it would have been a pity to lose you before we'd gotten a chance to get some good out of you," she said with shocking practicality. "There are many other humans associated with us the maenad could have picked, and those humans are far more expendable."

"Thanks for the warm fuzzies, Pam," I muttered. I felt the last degree of nasty, as if I'd been dipped in a vat of sweat and then rolled in the dust. Even my teeth felt scummy.

"You're welcome," she said, and she almost smiled. So Pam had a sense of humor, not something vampires were noted for. You never saw vampire stand-up comedians, and human jokes just left vampires cold, ha-ha. (Some of their humor could give you nightmares for a week.)

"What happened?"

Pam relaced her fingers around her knee. "We did as Dr. Ludwig said. Bill, Eric, Chow, and I all took a turn, and when you were almost dry we began the transfusion."

I thought about that for a minute, glad I'd checked out of consciousness before I could experience the procedure. Bill always took blood when we were making love, so I associated it with the height of erotic activity. To have "donated" to so many people would have been extremely embarrassing to me if I'd been there for it, so to speak. "Who's Chow?" I asked.

"See if you can sit up," Pam advised. "Chow is our new bartender. He is quite a draw."

"Oh?"

"Tattoos," Pam said, sounding almost human for a moment. "He's tall for an Asian, and he has a wonderful set of . . . tattoos."

I tried to look like I cared. I pushed up, feeling a certain tenderness that made me very cautious. It was like my back was covered with wounds that had just healed, wounds that might break open again if I weren't careful. And that, Pam told me, was exactly the case.

Also, I had no shirt on. Or anything else. Above the waist. Below, my jeans were still intact, though remarkably nasty.

"Your shirt was so ragged we had to tear it off," Pam said, smiling openly. "We took turns holding you on our laps. You were much admired. Bill was furious."

"Go to hell" was all I could think of to say.

"Well, as to that, who knows?" Pam shrugged. "I meant to pay you a compliment. You must be a modest woman." She got up and opened a closet door. There were shirts hanging inside; an extra store for Eric, I assumed. Pam pulled one off a hanger and tossed it to me. I reached up to catch it and had to admit that movement was comparatively easy.

"Pam, is there a shower here?" I hated to pull the pristine white shirt over my grimy self.

"Yes, in the storeroom. By the employees' bathroom."

It was extremely basic, but it was a shower with soap and a towel. You had to step right out into the storeroom, which was probably just fine with the vampires, since modesty is not a big issue with them. When Pam agreed to guard the door, I enlisted her help in pulling off the jeans and shucking my shoes and socks. She enjoyed the process a little too much.

It was the best shower I'd ever had.

A bit later:

But no matter if my clothes showed more of me than I wanted, no matter if all of these people had seen even more of my boobs than they could discern now, I had to mind my manners.

"Thank you all for saving my life," I said. I didn't succeed in sounding warm, but I hope they could tell I was sincere.

"It was truly my pleasure," said Chow, with an unmistakable leer in his voice. He had a trace of an accent, but I don't have enough experience with the different characteristics of the many strains of Asians to tell you where he came from originally. I am sure "Chow" was not his complete name, either, but it was all the other vampires called him. "It would have been perfect, without the poison."

I could feel Bill tense behind me. He laid his hands on my shoulders, and I reached up to put my fingers over his.

Eric said, "It was worth ingesting the poison." He held his fingers to his lips and kissed them, as if praising the bouquet of my blood. Ick.

Pam smiled. "Any time, Sookie."

Oh, just fantastic. "You, too, Bill," I said, leaning my head back against him.
