I also find Sam and his brother's story to continue to be boring.
I don't mind Sam and his shifter group, but I REALLY wish he'd been a better (or worse, if he was aiming to wound) shot last season.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

I am interested in the shifters; I meant specifically Sam and his brother. The brother is still super annoying and apparently doesn't learn from his mistakes.

The brother is completely one dimensional, he has no redeeming qualities. He's out for himself at the expense of every/anyone else, he takes no responsibility for his actions or their consequences, and I don't see any reason for his character to be there. Sam would have enough screentime with his shifter friends and their issues.

tiggy,
thank you for that! so I have some questions.
what was Felton's rationale for trying to turn Jason? What was the general thrust of the fairy storyline?
You know, based on discussion here and my extreme distaste for the Jason storyline, I think I might FF through it in the future. It really is putting me off the show. I really would watch the Pam/Eric spinoff in a red hot minute. Particularly if it was set in Fantagsia?
Can someone explain to me how older vampires (such as Eric) are supposed to regard Bill as their "King?" Isn't that kind of an absurd situation? Sure this is a political situation, but there is a real power differential here in terms of strength.

What's his name is sterile, so they are trying to make panther babies. They bit him in hopes that he would turn werepanther. The bit at the end with whatshername bouncing on top of him and the girls lined up suggests that he is being used to propogate the race.

I suspect it's a political thing, kind of like how sometimes the most qualified person is not the boss.

Art Crawl!!!
And the whole panther thing has been changed from the very beginning of the story.
Disliked what they've done with the fairy storyline too.

Vortex but is that what the motivation was in the book?

Oh, I don't know, I thought that you had missed it in the ep.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Yeah I got that in the ep.
I must say the tv show does not have me pining for the books.
