True Blood! Hells yeah!

Now this was a season opener.  I loved every freaking second of it.

        1. PAM!!  I am loving the increased Pam screen time.  Kristen Bauer is perfection.   Sookie’s, “I'm in no mood for lesbian weirdness tonight, Pam!" had me in stitches.  Pam's bored, "No, Sookie. Don't go down there," to Sookie when Sookie planned to barge in on Eric also cracked me the hell up.  And her “I see something I like” as she looked at Yvette hanging in those chains, rawr bb, very rawr.  I find ASkars about as arousing as a beige wall, so thank god Pam brought some heat to that scene.

        Also, everything with Pam and Lafayette was gold was well. 

"I don't know what it is about me that makes people think I want to hear their problems. Maybe I smile too much. Maybe I wear too much pink. But please remember I can rip your throat out if I need to. And also know that I am not a hooker. That was a long, long time ago." lol. 

Damn, if that’s how Pam reacts to being called “Hooker” I’d be calling her hooker all the time.  Sure, I might die, but I’d die with Pam pressed up against me whispering sweet nothings in my ear and I’m pretty sure I’d go with a smile on my face.

"You pickin' up what I'm puttin' down?"

I is, Pam.  I is.

2.   HOLY HOYAY, Batman!  Sam’s dream *drools*.   I’m usually pretty indifferent to m/m happenings, but DAYUM!  That Bill/Sam scene was hot like Mexico.  I was so upset when Sam woke up.  I don’t know how this is going to play into the plotline for the season, but I hope to hell Sam has some more of these dreams because Moyer and Tramell have some great chemistry together!

3.    Ryan Kwanten is such a good actor.  I liked Jason a lot better last season when he kept his clothes on and had a real plotline, so I think I’m going to enjoy his storyline this year.  “Conscience off, dick on” doesn’t seem to be working for him now, which hopefully means some nice character development and some meaty material for Ryan.  Also, Jason’s scene with Hoyt cracked me the hell up.  “Kind of a nasty way to ask, though” LOL!  Oh Jason, you’re so dumb but adorable.

4.   Sophie Ann.  I feel like one of the only people in True Blood fandom that likes her (or more likely I’ve been reading too much TWoP cause they hate her over there, but IRL friends seem to like the character just fine).  I was so happy when she walked on screen.  I like the character and think ERW is doing a fine job.  Plus, her climbing Eric like a tree was hilarious.

5.  Tara, gurl you’s breaking my heart!  God, the scenes with Tara were brutal to watch.  I seriously don’t want this to be another season of Tara suffering endlessly.  Can’t this woman catch a break?  Come on writers, we know Rutina can do tortured well, but I really want to see her get a chance to do more than rant and rave and cry.

Also, Lettie Mae continues to be a complete asshole.  Her daughter is falling to frakking pieces and the woman is too busy hitting on the Pastor to pay attention to her.  That whole scene with the pastor was so self-serving on Lettie Mae’s part.  I just want to strangle that woman, and then call up my mother and tell her how much I love her for actually being there for me all of my life, and being someone I know I can count on when shits getting out of control (or I need a button sewed onto a jacket, lol).  Lettie Mae is such an awful Mom.

6.   Lafayette is a good cousin though.  I really loved him taking care of Tara, and his smack-down of Lettie Mae was gold.  Like with Kristen Bauer I just love every scene Nelson Ellis is in.  I can’t wait for the introduction of Alejandro, well Kevin Alejandro that is.  Seeing those two on screen together is going to be most excellent, and some very pleasing to mine eyes.

"BITCH! THAT YOU AND ME BRIDGE IS NEVER HAPPENING!"  LOL 4 eva!

7.   Sookie was alright.  She didn’t bother me too much, but she didn’t do anything that made me squee either.  I do like that she dropped her “MUST SAVE BEEEEEL” crusade when she saw that Tara was crumbling, and that she tried to be supportive before Tara went off on her.  Mostly I was ‘meh’ about Sookie though.  I’m glad that she and Bill will likely be separated most of the season because I like Bill so much better away from her, and Sookie usually is ‘meh’ to me instead of enraging when they aren’t on screen together.

8.  Liked Jessica’s scenes as usual.  That first one smiling at the flowers before dragging the body into the house cracked me up.  I do like that Jessica, even in the midst of dealing with her own rather serious shit is still up for helping out other people.  I also generally really enjoy Sookie in scenes with Jessica, so I liked their tag team pair up this ep. 



All in all, I can’t frakking wait for the next episode!

I like how the show is making it crystal clear that both Pam and the Queen love the ladies. lol! I also agree with what you said about people not liking the character of Sophie-Ann.
I don't get the hate at all, Evan Rachel wood is a great actress and she plays the role perfectly and it looks like she has a lot of fun with it. Yes, her character is evil, she's creepy as hell, especially when she jumped on Eric(kinda like a screaming banshee) but she looks so gorgeous doing it.

YES! I loved Pam checking out Yvette so much, and Sookie calling her out on her constant flirting. And I forgot how much I enjoyed Sophie Anne trying to get Yvette to stay for their meeting. That woman is like vamp candy, no one can resist her.

but I'm so happy that they are keeping the girl-gay visible.

It honestly baffles me how much hate she getting. ERW is a very good actress, and she's been good in this role. I think people are complaining that Sophie Anne isn't scary/intimidating enough, but she was pretty scary this episode, AND when she attacked Eric last season as well. And personally, I think she has tons more charisma than Godric did, and is more forceful and intimidating than Godric, but everyone LOVED Godric and seemed to think he was the shit.

I honestly wonder if it's some hate for ERW's real life that is colouring people's opinions of SA. I'm not willing to say that people are hating because she's not a hot dude, because a lot of people that complain about her love Jessica and Pam.

I just really don't get the hate.
