Oh, I think Tara is going to be making more bad relationship choices. . . soon.
Anything to get her to stop all the carrying on about Eggs.

Skipping because I am still on S2 True Blood, but I see what people said about liking Jason by the end of S2.

I think it was Kat Perez who said upthread that it was one of the great character reclamations of any show ever what they did with Jason. Made most of the problematic (aka dull and repetitive aka Marianne) parts of season 2 worth it.

I kind of liked Marianne, or maybe it's just that I like Michelle Forbes, although TCG and I had a pretty good idea of what she was early on.
We have now finishes S2. I wonder if they plan on ending every season with a fucked up wedding, a death and a kidnapping?

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

That would be kinda cool.

I will take a million lather/rinse/repeat black eyed orgy scenes in exchange for the Jason Stackhouse that was reborn in season 2. I think it's truly one of the great turn arounds ever. And Jason + Andy as the most clueless, crime fighting surrogate father/son team of all time? Classic! The show is really cooking on all cylinders through the first two episodes this season. Jessica and Hoyt are breaking my heart with the sobbing into the closed door separating the two of them. Poor woobies. And Sookie and Eric are hotter than the sun, due in large part, I think, to Eric's BBoC factor. Sookie is so much more tolerable away from Bill (and vice versa). When she did the whole overly dramatic "Suh-kay" in Bill's voice? I fell out. Pam is Pam and that is automatic fabulous. I do believe she is the one who copped Jessica's body and I look forward to her taking Jess under her wing. Lafayette is Lafayette and that is also automatic fabulous. He deserves a hot boyfriend named Jesus. Yes, indeed. And Alfre Woodard as his mom is genius casting. Tara's possibly evil and certainly shady new vampire suitor (because you know it's going there) is all kinds of crazy hot, and I thought so even before the fangs came out. I can't see that ending well, but it's par for the course for Tara. I, too, wonder if he's working for Eric. He doesn't seem the type. I love the re-enactment of The Birdcage going down in the King of Mississippi's home! Bring him the Thai boy by all means. And I knew that Bill was in cahoots with the Queen and had known all about Sookie before he ever set foot in Bon Temps. Sweet! I love to be right. I still kind of can't believe that the whole setting Lorena on fire thing is real 'cause what? Well, he'll certainly not be in a position to refuse to cooperate now.
Good, good show. I'm not really feeling Sam's storyline yet, but it has some promise, especially if the brother really was trying to get him killed on their run. Naughty, naughty.

Really brilliant! Now all they need is for Sookie to stop being such a victim all the time...

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
but see, I don't think they (the writers) see Sookie as being a victim. Bad things happen to her, sure, but she is a fighter and she is trying to save Bill.
I don't think she always looks before she leaps. She needs to think 4-5 steps down the road.

Yeah, but Bill is always having to save her.
So much hotness in the first episode of S3! Bill has more chemistry in that scene with Sam than in all his scenes with Sookie put together.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
And I know the books and the show are different, but in the first couple of books and therefore in the first two seasons, she's 23.
23, small-town, not a huge amount of human (er, inhuman, either) social experience.
Saving yourself is something you learn, whether sooner or later. She's developing, and I think that's realistic.
