This episode 9 for be got True Blood back on the track after a slow-paced, transitional 8th episode.
I totally agree with you on the "stop teasing me, True Blood" part. I really think it is rude to let four characters know what Sookie is (Eric, Hadley, Sophie-Ann and now Bill) before telling the audience. I really hoped that they would end this episode with the revelations, but alas, they did not...
The ending they did give us, on the other hand, was quite terrific. I liked the look on Nan Flanagan's face, when Russell revealed that he did not recognize humans as equals. It was a silent: "f*******************ck"
Agreed with you on the Hoyt/Jessica issue - more scenes with them together. Jessica is really a much more interesting character than the amount of screen time given to her suggests. I'm looking forward to seeing how Russell's tv-moment affects her work at Merlotte's.
But that won't be the first thing on Sam Merlottes's mind, though. Nice to see some progression in his character traits, something surprising. I liked that they emphisized it by letting him wear a white shirt - not normally his style.
You're totally right, that ending was nothing short of amazing. Not only will Russell's tv-moment affect Jessica's employment but it'll effect all the vampires IN THE WORLD, which is a great development. The whole vampires-trying-to-fit-in-with-society thread hasn't been a terribly powerful force since the beginning of the first season, but it looks like it's about to become way more interesting.
I'm shocked at how not-boring all the vampire politics in this season are. I, like, actually care.
Say what you will about Tara (and I mostly agree), but have you ever seen anyone quiver a lip as well as she? And I'll take ten Taras over one Crystal any day. WHAT is the attraction of that white trash psycho for a hotty like Jason. He's dumb as a stump, but she's just nasty.
I wonder how Hadley knows what Sookie (and Hunter) are?
They aren't leading up to getting rid of Eric are they? Please, no. Somehow, I think the showdown between he and Russell will be really ugly. And his farewell scene with Pam didn't bode well.
I know! So sick of Tara, and i really liked her in the beginning. She was funny and bitchy and sassy, but now...BOR-ING. Lip set permanently on tremble, and we get it. You're traumatized.
What i didn't get was this: When Franklin got hold of her in Merlotte's parking lot, I thought it was a recurring fantasy/PTST episode, because she had already killed him, but then Jason came and exploded him again? Did I miss something? Wasn't he already Vamp jelly?
All in all, a great episode, but i am feeling angered at not knowing what Sookie is, and if they cliff-hang us on that point at the end of this season, I'm gonna call a "Lost" on this show.
