Art Crawl!!!

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

Compassionately intolerant

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

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.

Well, she would be more drama and Sookie surely doesn't need that, but I think Bill was just reacting to her asking about Gran and not wanting to have to tell Hadley what happened. And the furtiveness was just to avoid drawing the Queen's attention. We'll see if after they put down Maryanne he tells Sookie where her long-lost cousin is or not.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I hope he does. It would just be wrong not to. Besides, can Sookie really have any more drama? I think not, my friend. I think not. Shoot, Hadley would be break from her current cast of friends and family - that includes Bill himself. That man brings more drama than the entire cast of characters in North and South. (And how much would I love to read a Bill-centric True Blood/North and South fic? So, so much!)

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

We'll see if after they put down Maryanne he tells Sookie where her long-lost cousin is or not.

Seems to me that it's a plot point for next season.

I hope he does. It would just be wrong not to.

I'm also of the opinion that he's known where she was for a while. He didn't seem surprised. (Of course, Bill never seems surprised. Just vaguely uncomfortable.)

I love this! Bill Compton, vaguely uncomfortable since 1865.

Ha! That's good.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It's so true! Bill always looks like he just walked in on an awkward moment.
