HBO’s True Blood Episode 5.08 – “Somebody That I Used to Know”

5 Comments

After the brilliance of last week, I was completely underwhelmed by what I was served during this most recent of episodes.

Sookie’s faerie powers are getting ridiculous.  Now apparently she can read the thoughts of dead people?  It’s too much.  It’s too weird.  And who is this creepy new vampire that killed her parents?  The Scarecrow from Batman Begins?  Seems like he’d be pretty cool to have on the show as more than just a memory, so let’s hope we meet him for real.

HBO’s True Blood 5.07 – “In the Beginning”

1 Comment

It just wouldn’t be True Blood if we didn’t open with someone’s blood everywhere.  This time it’s Roman’s; and his absence creates quite an upheaval at the Authority headquarters.  It’s fascinating how much humanity remains in these vampires.

As soon as one strong figure-head is removed from the picture, how quickly we can all jump on board with another, even if their principles and ideals could not be more different.  Most people want someone at the helm leading them through life more than they want to stand up for what they believe is right.

HBO’s True Blood 5.06 – “Hopeless” Review

1 Comment

What an episode!  Action, drama, humor, and minimal Tara… what more could you ask for?

The main vein of the episode centers around the Authority and their struggle with Russell, who is shaping up to be quite as pesky as before.  It turns out (surprise) that the Authority was testing Bill and Eric to see where their loyalties lay when it came to mainstreaming.  Once they deemed them non-Sanguinista, they jumped from the rafters with trackers beams to capture Russell and transport him to the Authority headquarters.  Bill and Eric are instructed to glamor Sookie and Alcide; and Bill gives this fake-glamor, long-winded “goodbye forever” speech.  It seemed a little stale to me.  First of all, Bill’s been an asshole since he became King of Louisiana; and is anyone really still invested in his relationship with Sookie?  Eric then glamors Alcide to think Sookie is repulsive, which I find hilariously immature and so typically Eric.

True Blood 5.04 – “We’ll Meet Again”

Leave a comment

Well, folks, our worst fears have been realized.  The faeries are back.  Not only are they back, but they’ve opened a Moulin Rouge where vampires can never go.  Jason and Andy get sucked into an evening with stripper faeries; and before they get thrown out for pissing everyone off, Jason learns from his cousin that his parents may not have died in a flood, but because of vampires after their faerie blood.  Those poor Stackhouses can’t catch a break.

True Blood: 5.03 – “Whatever I Am, You Made Me” Review

This week on True Blood, I learned that it doesn’t matter what type of creature Tara becomes – human, lesbian, maenad puppet, vampire –  I only want her gone.  Killed.  Staked.  Written out of the show.  Erased from our memories.  Chop her scenes from the show and have a bonfire with the pieces.
