Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm pretty pissed about the whole treatment Hotshot is getting. Calvin Norris was a community leader out there. It was weird and ooky sometimes but he kept order (in the books). I'm just annoyed by how they have to turn EVERYONE into some basket case or criminal. Part of the appeal of the story is how the supes are trying to fit into society or hide within society. *shrugs*

How 'bout they show a were, besides Alcide, who isn't a thug?

I totally agree. The Were society in the books is by no means squeaky clean, but the notion of people in extraordinary circumstances, trying to get by has been lost in the land where "Everyone is a specialsnowflakeserial killer" is more senstational than sensical.

Although I do have to say that I loved Eric's scenes and Russell's Khaaaaaannnnn moment.

I also agree that the Sam storyline has bottomed out, interest-level wise. I heard a non-spoilery rumor that something significant is coming up for Tommy in the finale, so there is still hope. Up until now, however, the only thing that I've liked about it is the cute dog guest stars.

The mom's 'hang dog' Mastif was particularly apt, I thought.

I did love the Bill & Jessica "Way" moment.

I did love the Bill & Jessica "Way" moment.

I actually LOLed. No lie. That was beautiful.

I was disturbed by seeing so much of Patrick Swayze's brother's ass and his lamb-to-slaughter plea for his life. Didn't really seem in character. Also, I don't like seeing Jessica with blood all over that lovely face. Girl needs a handiwipe.

I'm not sure how Sookie can resist Alcide. Even as revenge sex, he'd be my go-to man for several weeks/months, etc.

And that was Hoyt driving by the scene right before, wasn't it? I'm very scared they are going to Joss us with those two and have them get happily reunited just just in time for something really, really awful to happen. I swear I'd rather have them go out together (if that's what's going to happen) then have one have to survive the other.

After which, Sookie should seriously get all up in Alcide's mix because damn that is a fine ass man.

Amen.

Eons.

I got the 2nd season of True Blood through inter-library loan, and so have all five disks to get through in a week rather than just one at a time. I think I'm overdosing.

Hee.

I think that the 2nd season was v. uneven.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I'm with sumi. Although I gotta wonder if that mega-plot most of us didn't like would work better when seen in a compressed format.
