sumi, interesting. that sounds like less angsty Sam though.

He is.

I could not be MORE with sumi in re: the Sam story. This sharp turn away from woobie Sam to icky Sam is not making me happy.

Go you with the prescience, Glam!

The Russell exploits this ep just made me sad. I hope he gets himself together because 'crazy like a fox' Russell is much more watchable than just plain crazy Russell.

I did not enjoy Lafayette & Jesus' Big Adventure.

I don't recall anyone ever talking about V-llucinations before and the murky family history seemed convenient and creepy. Since, for all intents and purposes, they are both new characters, I'm wondering how these historical revelations will fit into the Southern Vampire Universe.

I'm not disinterested in their family backgrounds per se, but those scenes seemed to scream, The Social Commentary Portion of the Program...Let me show you it!

My guess in re: Lafayette and Jesus is that (book spoilers) we're introducing magic workers to lead up to the big witch/were/vampire war next season - and you know, amnesiac Eric - I mean, if they're going to make any reference to the book at all, this would also mean that possibly the cliffhanger could be Jason kidnapped by Felton - what do you think?

sumi, that makes sense. You refined my one thought, which was okay, so they are witches now? Huh. But the context you put it in fits them in a way that I can got with.

I wonder if they will end up replacing Amelia down the line as protectors . That would make it all worthwhile, not to mention interesting.

regarding your last bit of spoilerfont, bonny, NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! i like Amelia.

i'm extremely disappointed in the way they're handling Eric's character too. Sookie came there of her own free will, she is questioning Bill AND she kissed. him. back! there was no reason why Eric couldn't appeal to her and tell her what he's planning. it's just another attempt by AB to keep E/S separated and continue the snoozefest that is B/S.

I like that character too - I have to say that I was a bit worried (book spoiler) when Jesus talked about the Jaguar (el tigre in Spanish) that he was going to be instead of Quinn. You know?

I agree with the liking of that character a lot.

sumi, I have to confess, my eyes flew wide open and I said out loud, "Nuh UH" to your last whitefont. Do not want! But I totally see why you would think that.

I'm going to focus on the stronger possibility that AB would view Quinn as too juicy to skip. lalala.

I watched Part One of the Spike Lee doc yesterday. [link]

There is an especially juicy cover on Rolling Stone. Haven't read the article yet. Don't know if it's spoilery. Don't know anything beyond much after staring at that.
