Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

OMG, I almost forgot one of my favorite lines: "I'm a faerie? How fucking lame is that?!?!?!?!?!?"

Oh and "vampire blah blah blah blah"

Yes, Terry is excellent.

(When Jason rescinded Bill's invitation, I remembered that Sookie did rescind Bill's invitation in season 1, didn't she? Still, not as amusing as Sookie rescinding what'shisnames' invitation in the books. . . amusing or as dramatic.)

You know, in the book when they called the werepanthers "panthers", I pictured mountain lions. I guess because they are also sometimes called panthers. But a black leopard or jaguar is more dramatic.

I'm hoping that Eric has come up with a plan.

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

How can Sookie be so stupid and still remember how to breathe?

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I wish they'd give Pam her own storyline. Especially because I'm not that interested in some of the other's storylines (Sam, I'm looking at you). Oh, and I totally called the faerie thing and I'm unspoiled! I just happen to be reading a book called Ash, a YA retelling of Cinderella with a gay girl angle. There are faeries all through the thing and I thought of Sookie and Claudine and thank God I mentioned it to DW yesterday before the show aired. Otherwise I would have been all, "I KNEW IT!!!" And she wouldn't have believed me. I loved that they opened the show with the reveal. Funny.

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

I really like Sam and I've been on his side since the first season, but I feel like some of the current revelations should have occurred in Season 1.

It would have helped explain why he is so damaged.

I'm feeling like I wish that they had stuck with the Sam storyline from the books at this point. I'm not feeling like we're gaining much from what we've seen so far.

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

Book Sam: Not an orphan. In the military sometime before arriving in Bon Temps. I think Dad was in the military too. Mom was remarried. Shifters and weres in the books can only pass on their shifting to the firstborn in any "pureblood" coupling, i.e., Sam is a shifter is younger brother and sister are not even though both of their parents are. When the weres and shifters reveal their existence - with an announcement and public nation-wide shape changing: his step father shoots his mother.
