Before I begin with my thoughts on last
night’s episode, let me answer the “who would I want as my maker” question from
last week. At first I was thinking Eric or Bill because they seem willing to go
the extra mile to protect their own, but screw that. I have to go with Pam.
Yea, she might let me eventually get staked, but she is hilarious. It would
definitely be a fun ride. So now onto my thoughts on episode 2, “Authority
Always Wins.”
So where to begin…all right Arlene and
Terry. Terry is still being Mr. Grumpy Pants, and even smacked her. Not good!
Nice try at the Paranormal Activity moment, but he’s not that scary. His
flashbacks go too fast for me to see anything important happening besides the
usual war stuff. I was hoping we wouldn’t see Patrick again, but I knew that
wasn’t going to happen. They might go looking for this other guy, but I’m sure
it is Patrick, or a sleep walking Terry who is setting these fires.
Speaking of fires, what happen to the
days of just burning dead bodies? Everyone has to take a bite out of Marcus.
Good for Alcide. Refuse that meat, and pack. He has better things to do. What
that is, I don’t know considering he changed back to being Mr. One Segment. But
that wasn’t the biggest change of the night. That would be little Emma changing
into a cute little wolf. Who didn’t want to take her home? I wouldn’t close the
door completely on her being a shifter, but not much is fitting through that
doorway.
There was nothing cute about Tara. She
was on a rampage, and that opening scene was fantastic. It definitely sealed
the deal on me wanting Pam as my maker. Looks like we are going to see how Eric
and Pam came together. Hopefully this is an interesting story, as it appears to
be love at first sight for Pam. Any surprise to see where Pam worked? Shows she
didn’t change too much when she became a vampire.
Going back to Tara, how about that
exorcist type pose on the sink? This is only the beginning of the madness she
is about to cause. Now that she is loose on the town, let the fun begin. That
was a pretty useless scene with Lafayette standing over her with stake in hand.
No way they went through all of that just to kill her. I know, he is in all
kinds of pain, but it wasn’t happening. And Sookie, I’m kind of surprised the
focus hasn’t been on her much through two episodes now.
Let me turn my focus to Jessica, and
her surprise visitor, the proud gay American Reverend. Did he really offer
$10,000 to her for Jason? Money isn’t that important to vampires, non-the less
Jessica. I say they fight to the true death for him. The scene did create my
favorite line of the night, which was when she said he had a “Fang boner.”
Maybe not as funny as some of Pam’s lines, but definitely not something you
hear, maybe ever! Another interesting thing said was when the Reverend
mentioned Bill not being King anymore. How did he know that? Makes me think he
knows someone important.
Now onto the important business of the
Authority. We finally got an up close look at where they have been hiding, and
how they operate. They are very much into some interesting torture techniques.
I liked the UV light myself. Something for the Stake House to consider selling.
Good to see a mix among the Authority, including a young boy, who is probably
old as hell. Being a fan of Law and Order, it didn’t take long for me to love
what Christopher Meloni, as Roman, brings to the table. I can’t wait to see
more of him.
We almost saw the end of Marcellus and
Ike. Ok, like Lafayette wasn’t going to kill Tara, Roman wasn’t going to kill
Fuck Up 1 or 2. That is two weeks, and two sets of nicknames for Bill and Eric.
It would be awesome if they gave them a nickname in each episode this season.
Again, I’m surprised at the continued loyalty between the two. I guess that is
what happens with Sookie out of the picture. It will be interesting to see what
the plan is going forward. They have a big task at hand considering they have
to save Nora, kill the King, and escape the Authority. Maybe they let the King
kill the Authority, and then they kill the King. And the King is definitely the
opposite of little Emma as a wolf. He is truly disgusting looking, and I loved
ever second of it. Way to end the episode!
Four nicknames, and two episodes in,
things are just setting up. Fuck Up 1 and 2 are in a tough situation. The
wolves need a new packmaster. Sam needs a new girlfriend. Alcide needs more
screen time. Jason is running out of women to sleep with, which bodes well for
the Reverend. Pam and Terry are suffering from flashback syndrome. Tara is
angry, and hungry. Best of all, the King is on the come back trail. Can’t wait
until next week. Now enjoy the trailer for next week’s episode while I think of
some more nicknames!
