I don't hate it yet, but I am bored.

I was hoping that thread would get more interesting as things came to a climax, but it hasn't.

Luckily the Jason and Andy show is pretty entertaining. And the Yahtzee was cracking me up way more than it should have.

Also, hoping this isn't it for Hoyt and Jessica, especially after Mama's big revelation about his dad.

I wasn't blown away by this episode, although it did have its moments. Basically anything with Eric and Pam or Jason and Andy was a big thumbs up; everything else was a big "Eh". I really want to be Pam, except not a vampire, but just as awesome and relentless in my lust for revenge against those who make me ruin a good pair of shoes or spend time around small children. And Eric's bloodlust for the "teacup humans" was too funny. (And he can fly!) Jason and Andy's "Who is more poor white trash-off" was great. And Jason's justification for how he most certainly does have to work for all that female attention (working out like a MFer and porn!)? I think he might be a closet Buffista. And really, even if he weren't quite as chiseled as he is, he'd still be a total sex bomb. And only Jason would distract a Dionysus worshipping, blood thirsty zombie by pretending to let her give him a blow job. I still love Jason Stackhouse.

Hoyt and Jessica made me sad. I mean, I knew it was going to happen, but still. I think Jessica will not take well to being dumped. And Hoyt and his Mama broke my heart. You can't help but feel for the old girl because she has been through more than her share of shit, probably from a very early age, but I'll be darned if she is not one evil beeyotch.

I don't know this Evan Rachel Wood creature other than that she used to date Marilyn Manson when she was all of about 2 years old and it was creepy and weird, and not in the normal, Marilyn Manson weird way, in the icky child molester, backyard compound kind of way. That said, she did give me some giggles as the queen. And I am totally down with her suggestion that Eric and Bill just do it already. She seemed awfully cozy with Bill and all up in Sookie's mix, as is, I guess, required of all vampires apparently. And what was Sookie's cousin doing there as one of the Queen's minions? Have we seen that character before? Obviously, Bill had. And so he knew Sookie, or at least knew of her, before he went to Merlotte's that night?

For such a great season, I'm not as excited as I thought I'd be for next week's finale. But I hold out hope that they'll go out with a bang.

No, we hadn't seen her but I believe that she was mentioned. . . just not what she was doing.

No, we hadn't seen her but I believe that she was mentioned. . . just not what she was doing.

Sookie said she was either dead or missing, don't recall which.

Hmm, something that Bill hasn't gotten around to mentioning to her?

I did enjoy the frustration of 'vampire time' versus human time, in dealing with crisis...via the Yatzhee game. That was hilarious. But this episode felt like a placeholder before the big finish. At least I hope it is a big finish after this lackluster ep.

"Teacup humans". Ha! I love evildistant!Eric, but playful!Eric is a hoot.

I have to confess to having a 'dundunDUN' feeling about Lafayette during the 'next on's. I hope I'm wrong.

Obviously, Bill had.

No, I don' think so. She heard him say he only fed from Sookie Stackhouse and thus knew to tell him to say hi, and he figured she was the cousin who left rehab from, I guess, Sookie conversations offscreen.

I don't think Hoyt meant to dump Jessica. I do think that's how she heard it, but I don't know, sounded like a fight not a break-up, to me.

So Bill goes to the Vampire Queen to find out how to kill Maenads and when he leaves there's Eric come to find out how to kill Maenads and they don't join forces to kill the Maenad? Dumb, guys. Seriously.

I don't think Hoyt meant to dump Jessica. I do think that's how she heard it, but I don't know, sounded like a fight not a break-up, to me.

See, I think Hoyt and Jessica are so very Teenage Love Affair and that kind of first love, intense relationship lives for that break up to make up moment. I hope they get back together, and it will probably be Hoyt that makes that happen, but it totally read like a break up to me.

No, I don' think so. She heard him say he only fed from Sookie Stackhouse and thus knew to tell him to say hi, and he figured she was the cousin who left rehab from, I guess, Sookie conversations offscreen.

His reaction just seemed furtive to me. And I can't imagine that Bill loving Sookie as he does, knowing that Sookie is all alone in the world with only Jason and knowing how much Sookie loves her family, even the makeshift one she's managed to gather around her . . . knowing all that, I wonder why he'd encourage Hadley not to get in touch. He clearly knows that Sookie of all people would understand the vampire thing, and these days, Jason probably would, too. And Gran's dead, so any worries about scandalizing her are kind of moot at this point. It just was odd that he would not want Hadley to reconnect with her cousin.
