fembuck | True Blood's back...

Granted, it was kind of a mixed bag, but I am still excite!

Loved:

Pam. Forever and always. Her disdain for being forced to do that PSA was hilarious.

And then her "chat" with Jessica in the ladies room was full of win.

Pam is so ferosh, I love her! And her giggling slayed me (see above .gif)!

Nan Flannigan. Glad to see this fabulous undead bitch back. "There are studies. People are much dumber than they think." LOL. Probably the best line of the show (unless Pam's giggling counts as a line).

Eric's turn doing the PSA was pretty awesome. I love him when he puts on his fake 'boy next door Americana' facade. Too funny.

Jason being smart and dependable? WHAAA? Mind-boggling, but awesome. I also loved his confession about how much he missed Sookie.

Terry was hilarious and sweet as usual. Though Arlene bugged as usual. Not looking forward to another season of her having evil baby panic.

Andy's "You owe me a plaque!" was mint.

Not sure how I'm going to like his 'V addiction storyline' (I'm really tired of that subplot) but that first scene was pretty damn funny.

Sam's support group! Hi, Papi! HORSIES! I'm looking forward to seeing more shifters (and for Sam to have some sort of positive influences in his life)!

Fiona Shaw. Love her. I'm suitably intrigued by this witch coven (and both interested in and creeped out by Shaw's character). Also intrigued by the idea that Lafayette has a lot of power residing in him, enough that she needed him in particular to make that creepy ass spell on the bird work (if only for a moment). It seemed like she was testing him to see if what she suspected about his power was true, and I'm scared but interested to see what her interest in him will lead to.

MMA Tara! Hot. That grin she gave at the end of the match was a thing of beauty. Note to show: Please let Rutina smile more! Woman has a killer smile (and legs, and abs *end objectification*).

Reserving Judgement:

On Tara and her girlfriend. Lots of people already seem to be calling foul on the storyline, jumping on the 'it's offensive' train, but I think one episode is way to soon to be judging how things are going to work out/what implications the storyline will make. Especially with a gay running the series, I don't think its fair, based on probably a cumulative 6 min (if that) of screen time, to say that Tara's turned gay because she had bad luck with men (especially considering that seasons 1-3 only covered about 7-10 weeks in these characters lives. It's not like we've followed Tara's life for 4-5 years, seen nary a sign that she could be a lady lover and then blah-blam! Lezza! Seasons 1-3 only spanned like two months).

So, could the storyline end up making some unfortunate implications? Yes.

Will it? That remains to be seen, but I'm hoping for the best (mostly because Tara and her girl are super hot together. Super.) but also because I find it fanciful to be watching a show with three lesbian/bi characters in the main and regular cast (four is Sophie-Anne ends up coming back). Plus, it's neat to see an interracial lesbian relationship on screen. I've seen more incestuous relationships on TV than I've seen interracial lesbian ones (outside of TLW which I hate)

The lying hurts me though, because as good and sweet as things are right now, Tara lying about every single fucking aspect of her life to her girlfriend is not going to end well. Oh, unbreak my heart!

Also, I am fucking even more pissed at that psychofreak Franklin because when Tara returns to Bon Temps (and you know she will), if her girlfriend doesn't come with her (which seems unlikely considering the plethora of lies ~~Toni~~ Tara has weaved) I would have been keeping my fingers crossed for a Pam/Tara hookup, but after Franklin the chance of Tara being with a vampire on the show seems pretty unlikely. But ... I wants.

- The Jessica/Hoyt storyline. I started out loving these two. Then by the end of last season I was indifferent to them. And now ... now I'm still largely indifferent but veering towards irritation. I do think this storyline has the potential to be interesting, but it also has the potential to make me dislike both characters (i.e. the eggs-gate). I just don't know ... but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Didn't Like

- The opening in fairyland. I'm scared about this plotline, very scared. It has the potential to be incredibly awful, as witnessed by the opening of this episode. Also, the show got Gary Cole and then killed him off in like 3 min? What ... what fuckery is that? Why tease us with the awesome of Gary Cole only to take him away so soon?

- Bill is the King of Louisiana?

Fuck that shit! What the hell happened to Sophie-Anne. I refuse to believe that pipsqueak managed to kill a vampire over 200 years older than him. We better find out what the hell happened after that fight last season, and ERW better not be gone for good. Also, Bill is that chair behind that big desk look stupid! Like a little boy dressing up as HFIC (Head Fatha-fucker In Charge) Russell Edington.

- Eric's last line (in fact that whole last scene between Sookie and Eric). I honestly cannot see how that kind of possessive-ness is supposed to be attractive and/or romantic. People hate on Bill for that "Sookie is mahn!" bullshit, but somehow when Eric does it it's supposed to be swoon worthy? Him talking about buying the house so that he could 'own' Sookie creeped me the hell out. Bring on the amnesia storyline (cliche as it is) if it'll mean a quick end to this fuckery.

- Arlene and more evil baby worries.

- The return of Hot Spot or whatever that inbreed were-cat colony is called. I fucking hated that Crystal storyline from last season and am not looking forward to the continuation of it. It is only the fact that Ryan Kwanten makes Jason so loveable and so I care what happens to him that stopped me from fastforwarding through that scene.

- UGH! Tommy and Hoyt's mom on screen together. Way to compound the awful show. I don't know what's happening there and I don't care, but I'm sure I'm gonna find out.

In conclusion, mixed bag or not, I'm glad the shows back!
