If they brought in dog fighting with shifters, I daresay, weres are not far behind. It wouldn't be much of a jump.

That is so NOT Claudine.

Book stuff: But in the books the fighting that Quinn does is totally in the supe community - shifter vs. shifter but in the tv show it's shifter vs. dog with an audience that doesn't know about the existance of shifters.

I think that's a very different thing.

I always visualized Quinn as Eric Cartman from South Park since his speech patterns reminded me so much of the latter.

Bwah!

UR MAKIN ME KRI, Matt!

He ends every freakin' sentence with "babe"! Adding the non-silent h to the end every time just happened naturally in my mind's ear.

Wow, that's more "babe," than Richard Belzer. Who already kind of dresses like a vamp and I think should play one, briefly.

Conan Stevens blogs about training with Jason Momoa. .. while filming A Game of Thrones.

What are they doing at the same location at the same time?

Okay, it appears that they are doing pre-filming training stuff and I wonder what sort of horse they will get for him to ride? Filming in Ireland: the horses should be EXCELLENT.

When Sookie was hugging Alcide on the porch, all I could think of was how she really, really needed to get all up in that with a quickness. My, my! That man is sweet as candy.

Also my, my? Eric Northman. Eric kneeling in front of the King of Mississippi and lying to his face but at the same time kind of not really lying at all. Naked Eric Northman and Naked Talbot writhing on the floor in front of the fire. Yes, I will be watching that back a couple more times. And just when I thought he couldn't get hotter, he staked that fool in the back and started his bloody revenge like a Norse god and somehow that fool got even hotter. God love him.

I also really enjoyed Bill and Jessica doing their best hyper speed Giles and Buffy training montage. Those two are so good together, messed up little family that they are.

And the return of Alfre Woodard? Good. Terry crooning lullabies to Rene's baby in Arlene's belly? Good. Sookie beating the shit out of Debbie Pelt? Good. Jesus and La (I love that his mom calls him La!) finally doing the do? Good. (Though why can we not get some Lafayette man flesh?) Tara having vampire induced sex dreams about Franklin? Harrowing but good because it was consistent with what we know about vamps. (And as for all that, do all those werewolves have sex dreams about Russell? Ewwww)

I'm still not all that interested in Sam and his family drama, although I did enjoy Tommy getting all up in Hoyt's grill. Poor Hoyt. Poor Jessica. I'm still reppin' for those two. Nor am I all that captured by the inbred, meth dealing, shifter/werepeople of Hotshot, though I hope this has a good payoff for Jason in the end. I also could've done without the Bill/Sookie v-infused love-hate sex, but I realize that's probably because I just do not like Bill and Sookie together. I was OK with it only because I have no doubt that it's a bump in the road towards their inevitable for real, no take backs break up. After which, Sookie should seriously get all up in Alcide's mix because damn that is a fine ass man.
