"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

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.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

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.

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."

Not yet, but this makes me happy.

Yes, he did. And it was hilarious.

of course, that whole scene was unnecessary. Why didn't the waitress just quietly get rid of the plate. She was so reluctant to tell Lafayette what happened, so why did she?
