True Blood! Hells yeah!

[fembuck]

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!

True Blood FTW!!!!!

..I so need to make a True Blood icon, but don't know which character to use.. hmm.. I think I'll have to make on with Maryanne & maybe one with Pam :)

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.

All I can say is Jessica, Pam and Sophie-Anne in the same episode... hell yeeeeeeeees. Thank you.

P.S: To the Sophie-Anne haters: Talk to the hand.

This ep of True Blood was freaking awesome, im thinking this season may end up being more epic than the first two

Best one-liner? I'd have to go Lafayette on this one.
"Bitch. You, me and bridge ain't never gonna happen." (paraphrasing) It was just so nicely delivered.

I agree on ERW. I actually like her character and she can certainly act. It's just that the writers haven't given her much to do yet.

Pam. I'm just amazed how effortlessly Kristin Bauer owns this role. Also surprised that Pam doesn't have to constantly swat away over-enthusiastic fang-bangers. If I'd have to pick one vampire with a crazy fan-club it would be Pam.

I like Jessica on the basis that the actor is just so damn hot. Unfortunately my brain can't go further because it just kinda short circuits.

I find Lorena hot as hell also. Glad that she will be back.

The show has some of the prettiest people on TV.

Sookie. I guess I'm in the minority in really liking her. I like her determined bullheadedness, blind emotionality and loyalty. She's really good to her friends and family.

Don't really like Jason because his storylines are just so blah. He never solves anything; just passively stumbles into things. Perhaps it could work as a comic relief but not for me, not at the moment, no. Ryan is doing a great job tho.

Bill and Sam.. uhhuh. The most charged scene of the ep definitely. It's interesting to see where it goes because they seem to be in the same neck of the woods. This storyline has some great possibilities.

True Blood is the best show on TV at the moment for me, but then again there ain't that much competition.

Gawd..YES!! Soo good to have True Blood back on the screen..*prrrr* I think this season will be made of pure win and sexy-times;)

I totally agree about Sam's dream...it made me shiver..*ehm* ;P Stupid phones interrupting..>_<

And Sophie Ann can bite me any day...! *naughty gaze* What's not to love?!

[novak_fan]

Yay! I finally can comment along with your TB posts since I'm watching along with you now lol last time I had to catch up from the beginning. And the show it's freaking finally here. Almost a year of waiting God lord, what it's wrong with networks?

I also love Lafayatte, he's like my fav character from the whole series hands downs. I just love him.
And damn right about Bill/Sam. Usually I'm not at all into the m/m thing either but that scene was hot! I'm intrigued as well on how they are gonna play that in the future.

I also had read that people doesn't like ERW playing the Queen. Well, since Im not that much into the fandom I also think she's alright. Nothing epic but alright *shrugs*

Also, I think Jessica needs some lady friend aka not Sookie so I can ship her properly :( *pouts* Sookie is ok for me but I don't know...and Jessica is such a lovely character and while Hoyt is cute and sweet well he's not a girl lol

I second everybody comments about the wolves a la Twilight though. I was all WTH at that.
