However ... Jason Stackhouse for the WIN!!!

Oh yeah - Jason may be dumber than a sack of hammers, but MAN can he come through in the clutch.

Art Crawl!!!

Yeah, the cliffhangers on this show are evil.

And speaking of: I knew that Eggs and Tara were going to wind up eating what's her name's heart. And that whole production was just gross.

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

Yes, I actually liked him this episode! I also love that the thing that spurs him to action more than any other is when somebody talks bad about his sister. :)

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I don't quite know when or how it happened, but I am full on in love with Jason Stackhouse. Badass. I hope that he and Eric have many, many more scenes together where they can be all pretty and blond at each other. And he was so cute with Bill. Sad that the Bill/Sookie relationship is so totally doomed.

ION, Eric continues to be a rock star. With the silver and the sacrifice and the suffering. Great googly moogly, he was smokin' (in both the literal and the figurative sense). And hilarious pretending to be a FOS yokel.

I was seriously grossed out by the heart souffle, although I could see that one coming. Unless under the enchantment of an ancient goddess, how could one even think of eating that? On a side note, I keep getting thrown out of these scenes by the lack of Tara showing skin. I mean, clearly the actress must have some kind of "no nudity" clause in her contract, which is her right. But the lengths they are going to now to keep up with that are almost laughable.

Finally, my poor, poor Hoyt and Jessica. Her horror and the whole "It grew back." Awww. My heart is breaking for those two.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Can the Maryann storyline end now? Please? And this is coming from a pretty big Michelle Forbes fangirl. Hating. It.

I think it was the first time he punched someone and said "don't talk bad about my sister"

Finally, my poor, poor Hoyt and Jessica. Her horror and the whole "It grew back." Awww. My heart is breaking for those two.

OMG, I know! SO hateful. But, I am confident that Hoyt will be a complete woobie and stand by her.

I have a request for the makeup people - if you are going to make their faces all pale, please allow the makeup to continue past their face/neck. It is really annoying to see the pale face and with darker shoulders. The only one it really worked on was Bill's maker, and I wonder if she is just naturally that pale.

Godrick = rockstar. Too bad he's a pocket vampire.

I love that he's so wee. He's like a tiny ball of awesome and hotness! And I think it's really effective that everyone is so scared of this being who looks like a beautiful, baby faced teenager. How much did I love the throw away comment about being sad that he didn't meet Jesus, since he was around back then and all? So, so much.

I just want the Maryann storyline to go somewhere. How many times do we have to see black eyes and violence and orgies before the writers realize that yes, we get it? I'm holding out hope mainly because I sense that this storyline is going to give Andy the opportunity to do something awesome and I am living for that day. I do enjoy those Bellefleurs.

For. realz.

The 'hunter's pie' scenes were so gratuitously gross, foreshadowed with a 900 lb shadow brush and so repetitive of the 'Maryann can make good people do bad, bad things...and she likes it' theme, that I got really turned off.

In the moment at the party when Eric was being his hottest, I murmured, "And the Buffistas go wild." I looked over at the bff, who had her hand up while she mouthed, "Me toooo."

This. I'd at least like to know why Tara, and what she wants with Sam, cause it has to be more than just sacraficing him. I suspect when Sookie and the boys get home (speculation only - I'm pretty sure the major players will survive the Lukinator, though I do fear for Godric and/or Ed Quinn), that will jump start this thread and get it moving forward.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I'm sitting in the amen corner with you all. I am so tired of the MaryAnn. Please conclude this story. Please.

I thought it was interesting that she is trying to set up Sam though. Why can't we have a back story with the two of them and their falling out? I thought he knew what she was...but apparently not. So what happened between them?
