Mebbe so, mebbe so.

I was just all "Rowr?"

Sookie Stackhouse is an idiot. That is all. I watch True Blood for Eric, Lafayette and a little bit of Sam.

I like Sookie, but that does not make her a genius...her heart's usually in the right place, but still...Jason's not the only dingy Stackhouse.

Very true. Good sense isn't a Stackhouse characteristic.

Well, Gram had lots, but she was a Stackhouse by marriage.

No, she's an idiot. She was in the slave quarters with Bill and starts screaming for help, knowing that there are werewolves guarding the place who might hear her. She opens a vein for Bill, knowing that he might not be able to stop because he's so weak. She puts him in the back of a van that has diffused light roof and unwraps him.

She's an idiot.

That was incredibly stupid and risky, yeah. Tara was right. And I can have timely conversation about this because we got HBO again last week.

I loved Tara tossing Bill off the truck. Good Going!

Bonny Fides: agree about the Claudine reveal. That was cheesy Mariannish stuff. The reveal in the book was so much better - so sudden and matter-of-fact. Oh well. (Responding to her post in Boxed Set.)

I was absolutely delighted by Russell Edington this week. It seems Dennis O'Hare loves this character.

As a semi-fan of the books, I was disappointed in the Cluadine reveal. Granted, it would be impossible to cast the most beautiful woman in the world, but it felt like the depiction of what she and Sookie are was troweled on pretty think. Sort of Maryanne time, without the black eyes. Not at all subtle or even remotely convincing. A fairly major plot line, which was developed over a very long trajectory of hints and what ifs in the books just plopped onto the screen. meh.

On the other hand, could they have chosen more adorable dogs for the fighting scenes? I just wish Sam had bitten off a few limbs before rescuing Tommy.

That mother! Ew, with a capital E. Any mother who would...well, you know. The casting and writing for Sam's family is spot on.
