Last night's episode was my favorite so far. I loved that Dawn's crime scene became an impromptu block party. I loved Renee and his valiant yet ultimately doomed struggle against the doily. (I had a friend whose mom was the exact same way about the doilies. We'd be eating out back in their rec room which they made by converting half of their garage, sitting at some old, rickety card table and she'd insist on placemats and doilies.) I loved that big, cornfed boy getting sunscreen lathered on by his momma.

I thought Bill and Sookie were adorable on their non-date date. And for the first time, I kinda got the Bill hotness, a little bit. Not just the Bill/Sookie chemistry, which has been there since the beginning, but just him being kinda hot in his own right. He had the sexy little sly smile moment when Sookie was protesting the non-date-iness of it all. He was giving good smolder in the car (both before and after the date) and he was funny in the crazy vamp bar.

I wasn't really feeling Eric, but maybe it takes a while for the vampires on this show to grow on me. Or at least the male vampires because Pam was awesome.

The one thing I am totally over is the Jason storyline. It was better this week than the non-stop Jason sex show, but I just do not care about this character. I don't care about him becoming a V addict. I sure don't care about him and Tara, who continued to bug. Ooooh, you know about Miranda rights. Congratulations for catching one of the million reruns of Law and Order. Please, please get over yourself. But really, if we could just get rid of those characters, I'd be a lot happier.

Is it the greatest story ever told? Egh, not really. But it's Sunday night and I'm easy.

For the first time, Jason and Tara didn't bug me (as much) and I think it was because they inserted the scene about them dealing with the alcoholic mother.

Sam on the bed at the end? Twenty ways of weird. I really liked him up to that point. The show itself hasn't won me over as a fan, but I'm interested enough to follow the story. It even prompted me to buy the first book in the series, so that's a good thing.

I liked Tara better than I have so far in this show. I liked that we saw where the irrational hero worship of Jason came from, although the simpering look on her face in the car was nauseating.

Again, this show is relentlessly sexual, but it's not as bad as last week.

I loved Renee and his valiant yet ultimately doomed struggle against the doily.

I love this sentence.

Jason's storyline is all about fast-forwarding. I do regret that time wasted on this story could not be given to, say, the scene with Bill & Sookie & Pam & Eric, but at last I have fast-forwarding to get me through the bored now.

I am still watching, though.

I really thought I was over the whole, dark, handsome, broody, mysterious vampire dude. *sigh* Apparently not.

This episode was a lot better than the first two. I like Tara more but she still bugs. Jason's priapism was well deserved.

Bill's hot. I like that he's playful.

Well, it was so close to being a normal episode, and then the bloodsucking "feel me in you" bit. Ugh. And, of course, Jason's ever present classy behavior.

I really love Lafayette I am sorry that he's going to die, at least if it's true to the books. He wasn't this fun in the book, as I recall. Some great stuff from him this ep -- "don't blame the Ferrari cause your ass can't drive it" And you knew that someone was going to get their ass kicked when he took off his earrings.

Lafayette taking off his earrings tickled me to death. He really does make everything better. He even made me enjoy Tara in his scene with her. If I completely ignore the Jason storyline, which I am beyond over, then I can say that I really liked this episode. Bill was great again. Sookie's actions were believable, as were Sam's. I liked getting some Bill backstory, although that was an awfully small cabin and those dudes looked like they'd been dead a very long time. Can't fake that funk. And finally, I was surprised by the ending. Didn't see it coming even with all the phone calls. So well played, show. For once.

He even made me enjoy Tara in his scene with her.

Oh, yes "come on, I was all parish" with the baseball bat was great!

I actually felt for Tara a little bit when she found Jason with the divorcee. I really dislike him. I was irritated when he had "no" idea that Tara had a thing for him. It's pathetic,but maybe now she'll get over it.

did anybody watch Entourage? that's the most that show has made me laugh in i don't know how long.

I really liked this True Blood, and not at all grudgingly like before. The dialog was better, and I was getting into the characters and the story.

Did Lafayette say "Tip your waitress" when he left that table? Whatever it was, it was a great line. Also Sookie listening to Tara's mind and hearing "Lalalalala"

When she was telling Sam what she heard in his mind, I kind of expected her to say "Sometimes I heard words, but other times it's like I hear this plaintive yipping sound..."

(spoiler text even though I don't really know what's going to happen)

I liked Bill. "I don't own a refrigerator, sorry."
