True Blood - 1x11 - To Love is to Bury

[fembuck]

1.  Pam!  Every episode should start out with Pam being a funny, fierce bish!  Yeah, okay, she was mostly in the scene for exposition ("once she's in the dirt the transformation begins", etc.) but she's a hot as hale exposition fairy, and we got to see a little more of her personality.  I wasn't really surprised that she views Eric as having saved her, and that he's like her vampire!jesus or something, but it was nice to hear things confirming it coming out of her mouth.

Bill:  Sometimes I doubt you were ever human.
Pam:  Thank you

Pam: I'll tuck you in *starts throwing dirt on top of Bill*

2.  I hate Sookie.  I hate her.  She is stupid.  She is as stupid as Jason.  How the hell long was Bill gone, like two days?  And she gets mad at him and assumes he's dead.  "If he cares more about vampire politics than me"  THE FUCK?  Bitch, he was on trial because he SAVED YOUR LIFE!  And then recinding his invitation like five seconds after finding out he is still alive?  WHAT PLANET ARE YOU FROM SOOKIE?  I don't even like Sookie and Bill together, but this was just stupid.  Bill ... you can do better man.  Anyone would be better.  *wishes Bill had met a younger Adele*

3.  Ro Laren Helena Cain Michelle Forbes.  I didn't think it could happen, but I think I loved Maryann more than Pam this episode (forgive me, bb.  Forgive me).  This woman is like a fine wine, she's just getting better with age.  And she like acts the fuck out of everything I see her in.  I was thinking about it in her scenes this episode, and there was like no trace of Helena Cain, or Miranda Zero or other characters I had seen her act in Maryann.  Magical!

Tara didn't stand a chance againt the epic charm of this woman, with her pseudo-hippie shirts, and her silken hair, and her easy smile, and her hint of a southern accent. 

Also, "I get dirty, too" UNF!  UNF to infinity plus one.  Also, also that smirk she gave when Andy was all like "I'm surrounded by idiots and assholes" was devilish.  Maryann's gon' fuck you up Andy!  She is.  I call it.

Also, also ... when Maryann closed the door to her house after Tara walked in, all I could think about was this picture I'd seen on seriousfic's page earlier on:

YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE!!!

*wantz Maryann/Tara femslash*

3.  Ding dong the bitch is dead!  Thank GAWD!  *waves*  Won't miss you.

4.  Tara's right, Lettie Mae is an evil bitch.  Did Tara fuck up?  Yes.  But she did partly trying to protect that woman's new soul (if she'd gotten into the car and vented to her mother after learning about Miss Jeanette, I doubt Tara would have gone all Prom 2001 on the town), but Tara has sacrificed SO much for that woman.  That whole scene was just heartbreaking.  *gives Lettie Mae the withering glare that used to be directed at Amy*

5.  Layfayette rocks my socks.  Him yelling at the TV as he painted his nails at the bar cracked me up.  Not to mention that he was hot as hale when he confronted that Senator.  "Be careful ya hear" RAWR.  Also, Terry's "I can't listen to politicians anymore.  I get a seizure" made me laugh forever.  If it's not Obama Obama Obama I pretty much feel the same way (although I suspect Terry meant that literally, lol)

5.  Poor, stupid Jason.  I actually felt like of bad for him in the police station.  At least the Sherrif doesn't seem as dumb as Andy and is clearly less than convinced by Jason's confession.

6.  Bill and Jessica were kind of amusing.  She was a huge brat though.  I hope she calms down next time we see her.  She was amusing at first but then started to bug.  Bill's exasperation with her was hilarious though.

7.  Still not feeling Eric.  I think it's entirely due to the hair, because usually I like Sarsgaard.

Dude, was i wrong to detected gay all over that scene? Its like her charm was luring random people into her bed.

*wantz Maryann/Tara femslash
Ha. Never mind.
IAWTC x100000.

That scene was gay as hale. The only thing that could have made it gayer was if Maryann had added, "and have sex with me" after "come to my home". But the "and have sex with me" was totally implied. [knowing whisper]It's all in the eyes[/kw]

IAWTC x100000.

lol, as it should be. Seriously, I hope Maryann helped Tara with that bath she offered her

I'm sorry but I'm going to be boring. Agree with everything 100% (except Eric, I like him).
My love for Michelle Forbes is as unresistable as a tidal wave. Damn. Damn. Double damn. That woman is just so fine.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

(except Eric, I like him)

He's good. But I think he'd be great with a hair cut. I think I'm bitter because ASarsgaard is like sexy as hell, as that hair is just ruining his hotness. I mean, that man has been a sex god in a floral skirt so I don't understand how HBO has managed to make him look not hot.

My love for Michelle Forbes is as unresistable as a tidal wave. Damn. Damn. Double damn. That woman is just so fine.

This.

I was literally like stunned by her. I like had to pause the episode, because my brain wasn't registering the dialogue, only contemplating Forbes' hotness.

The more I watch this show, the more I wish that Whedon could have done Buffy under the HBO banner.
Can you imagine Eric having to deal with Spike and Dru?
OR Angelus?
And yes...just yes...Michelle Forbes is made of awesome sauce. I think Tara is in for one hell of a ride. Maryanne/Tara? oh, yes plz!

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

The more I watch this show, the more I wish that Whedon could have done Buffy under the HBO banner.

I was about to say, "Hell yeah!" until I realized that this would have meant like Jason/Amy style sex between Buffy and Spike, which would have scared me in a way that could never be undone. Network TV Spuffy was almost too much for me, so I couldn't have handled HBO Spuffy, lol.

I think Tara is in for one hell of a ride.

Heh. Lucky, bish!

Michelle Forbes is made of awesome sauce.

This. I love her like teenagers love whining!

[redbeargrl.livejournal.com]

"Jason/Amy style sex between Buffy and Spike...etc..."
Erm...yeah. The mere thought of seeing Spike running in a meadow in his shorts,ala Jason, fills me with...with...oh gods, my eyes! Just kill me!
But on the other hand, maybe we could have had more Tara/Willow or Faith/Buffy style lovin'.
Come to think of it...I might have actually paid real money to watch Dru and Spike. Ya know...like once.
::hides face behind paws::
I feel so dirty now just thinking about that.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

But on the other hand, maybe we could have had more Tara/Willow or Faith/Buffy style lovin'.

I was thinking that too. But I hated Spuffy so much, that I think I would still give up on more graphic Tara/Willow and like a Fuffy kiss (cause they probably still wouldn't have really hooked up Buffy and Faith), in order to have avoided seeing Spike's ass as he humped Buffy.

I might have actually paid real money to watch Dru and Spike. Ya know...like once.

This would probably have been awesome. And it was back when I liked Spike, so I probably wouldn't have even been grossed out, lol

Embrace the dirty! Dirty's the new black!

P.S. That icon is super cute. Oh, chagrined!bear you are adorable.

Basically, its like this for me now...came for the vampires, staying for the Pam fierceness and Michelle Forbes. Bill/Sookie drama can just go away now! They are fucking boring and so not what the majority of the episodes focus on, thank god. I realized that they are soooo more tolerable when they don't have scenes together, still boring as shit but vaguely more tolerable.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

came for the vampires, staying for the Pam fierceness and Michelle Forbes.

This, this, this! Pam stole the show for me, and now that Michelle muthfuckin' Forbes is in the picture, my love for this show is bordering on the obscene. Sucky can DIAF! I don't need her. Between Pam, Maryann, Tara, and Lafayette I'm set.

They are fucking boring and so not what the majority of the episodes focus on, thank god.

This is the one saving grace. If they had more screen time together I'd be majorly pissed. The sad thing is that Bill can be alright to kind of interesting when he's interacting with ANYONE who isn't Sucky. Whereas Sucky is just well ... sucky, and to make it worse she like ruins other characters who are usually aiight when she's in a scene with them (see: Sam)

still boring as shit but vaguely more tolerable.

lol

How the hell long was Bill gone, like two days?

See I didn't get that too. Plus I didn't like the fact that she was kissing a guy that she knows her friend has feelings for. Sookie was just pissing me off left and right in this episode.

I didn't think it could happen, but I think I loved Maryann more than Pam this episode (forgive me, bb. Forgive me).

Oh I know what you mean. Maryann is one of those ladies, the kind where you know she's up to no good, but instead of telling her no, all that's coming out of your mouth is yes.

Bill and Jessica were kind of amusing.

Poor Jessica, like me, she thought being a vampire, is all kinds of glamorous and sexy. Only to find out you'll just be living your life exactly the way you've been living it, FOREVER. Bill is such a buzz kill.

I think it's entirely due to the hair

It has to be the hair. Its all greasy and distracting. However, I still want flashbacks of Pam and Eric.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

See I didn't get that too.

Sucky can be annoying and childish and shrill at times, but usually I can at least understand where she's coming from. She was INEXPLICABLE this episode. Nothing, absolutely nothing she did made sense. It was just ridiculous. He was gone TWO days, and only ONE night (the night of the tribunal).

I didn't like the fact that she was kissing a guy that she knows her friend has feelings for. Sookie was just pissing me off left and right in this episode.

Oh, I know. Just two more people pulling down their pants and shitting all over Tara. Seriously, worse friend ever. The way they didn't even really care where Tara was after letting her drive off drunk the night before was ridiculous too. Sam and Sucky were both absolutely hateful this episode. The only person worse than them is Lettie Mae (well, at least now that Amy's dead)

Maryann is one of those ladies, the kind where you know she's up to no good, but instead of telling her no, all that's coming out of your mouth is yes.

This. It's like I know she's probably evil as hell, but I want her to do things to my naked body, lol

she thought being a vampire, is all kinds of glamorous and sexy. Only to find out you'll just be living your life exactly the way you've been living it, FOREVER. Bill is such a buzz kill.

Well, now that Bill handed her over to Eric maybe she'll have some fun. I think Eric would totally let her do some dancing at Fangtasia, and you know Pam would totally be willing to introduce her to sexin' hot vampire (or vampurr as that old black man who likes his pie would say) style.

Bill was an incredible buzz kill though. Worst. Maker. Ever. His fuddiduddiness was amusing though. And Jessica WAS really annoying.

However, I still want flashbacks of Pam and Eric.

Oh, I'd be all over this shit. I wanna see Victorian era Pam. Eric would have to pull his hair back for those scenes too, and so would probably look good, lol

1. and how Pam was peeking in Jesicas clothes - like she some kind of doll =) litle creeepy but still..

2. spoilery qoute from «List of True Blood episodes(From Wikipedia)»:
"Tara decides to make the most of her second chance with Maryann" - maybe there will be no need in slash?

6.i loved when Jesica said "f" word - she covered her mouth =)

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

and how Pam was peeking in Jesicas clothes - like she some kind of doll =) litle creeepy but still..

I missed Pam taking a peek the first time I watched it. Just watched again and HA! I love how daintily she did it, and how matter of fact she was. Like, "Eh, could as well see what she's got here ... and here."

"Tara decides to make the most of her second chance with Maryann" - maybe there will be no need in slash?

Oh, my god. I hope that's just as gay as it sounds. At the very least I hope it presents tons of opportunity for femslash. Hopefully HBO will give me what BSG didn't ... Michelle Forbes macking on another lady.

i loved when Jesica said "f" word - she covered her mouth =)

That was fun. And it was before Jessica became really annoying so I was able to enjoy it.

[miims.livejournal.com]

and when tara said "fuck me", Maryann just laughed. and opened cars doors.
please tv goods make us happy

[xavacid.livejournal.com]

Jessica was such a brat, it was funny!! Butt it'd get really annoying really fast if she keeps it up.

Did you see Pam looking under Jessica dress?!?

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Jessica was such a brat, it was funny!! Butt it'd get really annoying really fast if she keeps it up.

This. I really enjoyed her at first, but before they got to fangtasia even I was like "UGH! SHUT. UP!"

Did you see Pam looking under Jessica dress?!?

I missed it the first time I viewed it, but I just watched it and it was awesome. I love how blaise Pam was about it. She was like, Bill's digging a hole, I got some time to kill *lift* Eh, *left* better.

Oh Pam, even when you're being a complete perv you're awesome.

[oneiric22.livejournal.com]

I'm actually surprised that you didn't mention the scene where Tara was trying to explain the pig and naked woman to the cop. The way she delivered those lines made me crack up so bad that I went back and watched it a second time. :D

I'm also glad that I am not the only one who always remembers Michelle Forbes as Ensign Ro. I can never remember her name, just her characters from ST:TNG and BSG. When I speak of her, I usually start out with, "You know the woman who played Ro on Star Trek? The first Bajoran who was super hot? Yeah, she's in this one show now..." :D

Sookie needs to be slapped. Bill was gone for like two days, and she starts wondering if she really loves him, and kisses another guy. WTF? She's become an obnoxious character that I can't even sympathize with anymore. JASON is more sympathetic. How sad is that?

I swear that I'm only watching this show for Tara and Lafayette.

As pretty as Lizzy Caplan was, I couldn't feel bad about her getting offed. Her character was horrible. The fact that Jason stayed with her was just so stupid.

Oh, and I actually like Eric. He just looks like a metal rocker, which amuses me. I half expect him to pick up a guitar and start growling in some Slavic language.

"*wantz Maryann/Tara femslash*"

You may luck out, because there's a prompt for that over the femslash_today porn battle. Also, there are some Selene/Erika prompts, if your muse is leaning that way this weekend.
