I do not find them that appealing, except for Alcide. Even Sam reminds me of guys I grew up with. Country boys in most respects except they played a few Eagles songs on the guitar and had read On the Road.

Who ISN'T a redneck in this show? The werewolves all give the illusion of being a Harley ridin' bunch but they have never to my knowledge, showed a single one of them on a bike.

Speaking of that on a bit of a tangent.....where the hell do these people work? We have the bar, which Bill owns, the local PD, and the guys that work for the city/county/parish. Most recently we have the gun shop. Even Mayberry had a barbershop.

Eric's whole speech to Pam seemed significant, that she was his only progeny and needed to preserve the line, or something like that. It seems strange to me that it was Eric (and not Bill) who got the moral wake-up call. Usually, Eric looks after Eric, and if it turns out to be the right thing to do, fine....whereas Bill seems much more motivated by doing what's right. So maybe it was Eric's bloodline that came through? We can be sure Bill's maker Lorena had nothing to offer Bill in that department...so maybe that's why Bill was still chomping down while Eric was having his little visitation with Godric?

Okay, okay, I'm done with the over-speculating (for now).

Yeah, you would think after that speech she would have given a lot more thought to not only making Tara, but in training her. Who would put their kid on a stripper pole in some seedy vamp bar? Even Jessica has taken on the air of a "princess" and at least takes advantage of Bill's status as king. I would think that at the very least, the bar atmosphere would be a little beneath Pam.

Ummm you do remember where Eric found Pam?

Pam might prefer twin sets to leather, but she loves money and power best out of anything next to Eric...

I can hardly stand this season, due to the awful faerie plot. I hate the faeries. Just fucking hate them. Hate hate hate.

Also: I cried when Jessica glamoured Hoyt. Then I cried again just thinking about it.

Also hate: Steve Newlin, all of the authority people, Bill, Arlene, Sookie, Ginger and that bad dye job new sheriff of area five dude.

Still love: Sam, Tara, Andy, and Pam. In that order.

I hate Steve Newlin, Bill, a bunch I don't know their names, the smoke monster, Lilith and faerie story lines.

I like Pam, Jessica, kind of still like Eric but the whole season, in general, sucks.

I am just looking forward to Boardwalk Empire.

I loved Pam's reaction when Tara took out the new Sheriff.

Jason crying because Hoyt forgot him. Awwww.

I am surprised that they killed off the techy vampire. I thought she was interesting. At least more interesting than Salome. Is it me or the writing or the actress? But she's bad.

I liked the scene with the professor. I can't remember the details. Just thought it was mildly amusing.

I remembered so little of the episode that I went over to TWoP to read the forum.

There's talk about what Russell's accent means. More about his Nazi days or something else?

They said that, based on her reaction to Russell's desire to get fae blood however, Salome has some faery connection or fairy-related secret. I didn't notice that.

There is general appreciation for Tara taking the Vamp Sheriff's head and her "I don't know nothing about birthing no vampire babies" comment. I did not think the latter was funny. It snapped me out of my suspension of disbelief.

Lots of folks were also moved by Jason's sadness at losing Hoyt.

There was lots of "is he or isn't he?" talk about Bill, but I am so bored by the whole plot that I couldn't even read about it.

Apparently, the reason techy vampire got staked is that the actress got a better job on another show.

Lots of talk about how they can't seem to hide Anna Pacquin's pregnancy.

Lots of cheering that there was no Ifrit or Terry this episode.

Someone talked about how nice the scene was with Lafayette cooking dinner for Andy and Holly. It was a nice scene. Andy telling Lafayette he loved him. LOL. Loving Andy this season. And Lafayette.

People are confused and bored by the hallucinations of Lillith and Godric. I agree.

If this whole Sookie belongs to some evil vampire thing does not get interesting or is resolved stupidly and quickly, I will be annoyed.

Some of those folks over on Televisionwithoutpity need to get a life.

last week's -- the one i just wrote about -- is the last episode i will get to see prolly unless i catch up my last weekend up north next weekend (where there is cable). But i prolly won't have time.

You all must fill me in on these last two episodes.

I actually loved that whole scene. And I think Pam liked what Tara did, no matter what she says in her outloud voice.

I really don't get why everybody hates Tara so much. While I don't care much for the "Tara is a vampire now" storyline...I LOVE Tara. I hope when the show is over we get to see more of Rutina Wesley in other projects - there's just something about her that I really like. A lot.

I really liked Tina Majorino when she was on Big Love, so I was really excited to see her on TB. I'm mortified that she was killed off. What will she be doing next?

(I hate Salome. I hate the whole storyline. I want her and it to go away.)

There's talk about what Russell's accent means. More about his Nazi days or something else?

I think the accent was about dropping the modern fancypants accent pretence because it made sense as part of his rant about how old he is. I don't think there's anything more than that to read into it, honestly.

They said that, based on her reaction to Russell's desire to get fae blood however, Salome has some faery connection or fairy-related secret. I didn't notice that.

That wouldn't surprise me. I do think that the "blood of Lilith" that got everybody so drunk has got to be spiked with faerie blood or something - we remember how drunk Eric got off of Sookie's blood in the past and that faerie blood has hallucinogenic properties.

Lots of cheering that there was no Ifrit or Terry this episode.

Love Terry. Hate the Ifrit storyline.

And Lafayette! Don't forget Lafayette!

[pajama]

WHY do I even watch this any more?!?

Okay, Pam's red dress that laced up the back tonight. grrrrrr But her hair....not so much.

Everything else.......lame and annoying.

Plus.....the first fairy bearing female isn't Sookie, it's her cousin Haley. If you're going to f-ing fabricate a stupid ass story line then make sure it ties in with what you've already built. It wouldn't have been that bad if they had left out the part THIS VERY SEASON that her cousin was at the strip club WITH HER CHILD. They could have played it off that Haley was baren or something.

I swear to god if Dexter ends up being this stupid next season I'm cancelling my premium channel subscription. I'm worried about Dexter because I'm sure he's not going to kill Debra (no matter what the trailers allude to). And if Debra lives and knows, she's just going to become an even more ignorant character that I can't bare to watch!

[*Anya*]

When the head fairy ( or whatever the heck her title was) came out dancing (or whatever the heck that was); it was so lame, I laughed out loud.

OMFG.

[The JD]

As much as I'm over the fairies, my favorite line of the episode came out of the conversation between Andy and Maurella, the fairy that Andy impregnated:

Maurella: Did you or didn't you swear upon the light?!

Andy: All I know is that your finger was lit up and I touched it.
