Why is there white font?

Sorry, very little sleep in three days, which apparently manifests in a mad white font delirium. I'm taking medication for that.

I'm about to watch it again with my True Blood Friend.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Tara was at her least annoying ever last night. I like the Tara who loves Sookie and takes care of her. Also, maybe it helps that a friend of mine asked if I didn't find her, on occasion, a little bit ashy, which made me laugh and laugh and laugh. And as always, Lafayatte owned in this episode. The way he said cornbread made me think of my grandfather.

I quite enjoyed last night's episode and found Sookie's whole emotional journey very real. I also liked the Tara/Sam. Sadly, as pitiful as a I found Jason last night, I still care not a whit for him or his whole little boy lost act. Someone can kill him any time now.

I loved Tara and Lafayette on this episode. I loved Bill and Werecollie standing guard together (I know someone who is waiting for Bill/Sam slash, but Sam kind of creeps me out).

But yeah, Jason. A friend was talking about how it's become this joke... Can we get through an episode without a Jason Soft Porn scene? No. No we can't.

But it's been a while since I was all "can't wait for next week" about a show, any show. I'm not sure when that happened.

The whole Jason thing is really turning me off of the show. The character is dislikable, but the way they choose to portray him is gratuitous and annoying. You don't have to show nudity and soft core sex just because you're on HBO.

[answered in Lafayette's voice] An' it'sa damn shame.

I loved Lafayette's "Like Water for Chocolate", love in food speech...capped with kernbread and "You gonna wish you ain't did that."

Love. it.

Just about every scene involving Lafayette was fun. I love the little looks and gestures he gives when someone else is speaking. A very responsive actor.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'm fine with all the Ryan Kwanten nudity they care to throw at me, but I do wish it could occasionally be paired with some hint of a redeeming feature in his character's personality.

I can't even enjoy it anymore. I'm just so disgusted by him. And his behavior with Sookie was reprehensible. The only good thing about it is that hopefully Tara will see him as he really is and finally get over it.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

What anyone wholly annoyed by the Flowing Renn Garb of Potential Ruptured Hyman Flowing in the cheeTAStic run to Bill -- who, dude, could have scooped her up a lot sooner?

I GET Sookie, wanting to wear white for her vampiric defloration -- she is a traditionalist and a romantic. But that was some fluffy ass shit she was scooting along in.
