"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I just want the Maryann storyline to go somewhere.

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?

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

Question: does MaryAnn know Sookie is special? She might try to get her heart next.

Let's see Jason to the rescue for that too...

That could make it worth it. I shudder to think of what Jason would be like under Maryanne's influence, however, given that his default setting seems to be horndog.

Also, I just read the recaplet for this ep on TWoP, and Ed Quinn's character's name is Stan? Stan the vampire? Ooookay.

I think you have an answer to that:

He probably would be arrested for having wild sex with a tree.

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

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.

yes, I wait anxiously. I didn't think that she was going to have them eat it, I thought that she was going to eat it. I would have liked it better if it had looked less like blood, so that it would have been less obvious to Tara and Eggs, or if they had shown some reluctance to its initial appearance.

Well, we saw that she took his virginity and that he stole money from her and ran away. Mary Ann strikes me as the kind of "person" who will not forgive someone leaving her, she has to cast them away.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Also, Daphne said that Mary Ann has a thing against other "supers" because she can't mind control them. She needs for them to come to her and offer her their love and worship and Sam didn't do that, so I'm sure she's extra salty at him. I can't figure out the Tara angle at all, though. Why her and not a million of the other tragically broken figures in the town?

as I recall, she got Tara out of jail, so Tara's despair might have been a little stronger than the others at that point. Plus, if Mary Ann was looking for someone for Eggs, Tara fit the bill.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah, Tara got a DWI. And I'm sure Mary Ann has developed kind of a nose for these things.
