I think it’s fair to say Bill and
Eric’s plans that I’ve been talking about have official blown up, and they have
moved on. I’m not sure Eric has a plan anymore. As for Bill, well he helped
answer a big question I had after last week’s episode. So here are my thoughts
on those things, and more from episode 5, “Fuck the Pain Away.”
First, that has to be one of the best
titles for a True Blood episode yet. Yes, a large part of that is because it
has “Fuck” in the title. I can’t help it, how many shows can get away with
putting that in an episode’s title. Ok, time to grow up, and move on.
So the question I was referring to was
how would they bring Bill, and Warlow together when they have yet to cross
path. Well we saw Bill answer that when he showed up at Sookie’s house, and
commanded Warlow away. I knew Sookie wasn’t going to do anything to him. She
should have gone with my plan.
There were a few interesting that
happened in that brief opening. One was how Sookie hurt Warlow, but he quickly
healed. Was that just a vampire thing, or something else special about him? And
does that mean Sookie really won’t be able to kill him? Then there is how Bill
actually felt Warlow’s pain. So when Nora says Warlow can kill Lilith is that
more like if Warlow kills himself, or someone kills him then Lilith dies too?
Maybe this was just one of those things when a maker knows his progeny is in
trouble. Wow, I just went from having one question answered to coming up with
several more. At least there is something to look forward to!
So the great and powerful Eric was
doing what exactly? Just hanging out waiting for his plan to work? Oh, we were
just waiting for Tara to tell him what happened to Pam, so that they could move
his storyline forward. I guess hanging out was a better plan than turning
himself in. Sometimes Eric is just too full of himself. I don’t see know what
he was thinking.
I’m not sure what the humans are
thinking either with some of those tests. Drop the ball, and kill the slowest
vampires… what does that prove? The vampire on the hamster wheel was hilarious,
and the two vamps going at it was just porn not worth watching. I’m all in for
gladiator vampire style, but not Eric vs. Pam. That was just wrong.
Ugh, and that just brings me to the
Rev., and Sara! Can someone please kill them already? Man do I hate them. They
aren’t even good villains. I just want them dead. The Rev. isn’t a vampire he’s
a snake. And Sara, for a second I wish she would become a vamp, but I don’t want
to have to watch that. Jessica was so close to ending her, damn! Speaking of
that scene, just how did Sara rescind Jessica’s invitation to Jason’s house?
(another question)
I knew Jessica didn’t kill all of the
girls. Boy was she high as kite. I wonder when that will wear off. I couldn’t
even keep up with what she was saying. I’m happy Andy will have at least one of
his girls with him. I would have been happier for him if maybe he would have
cried a little longer. He cried for a second, and that was it. Not his best
acting. Definitely better at saying funny lines like referring to Bill as
“Vampire Bill”. I dislike Holly, but at least she had some good advice for him.
Now there were two storylines that just
had such little time that it almost didn’t seem worth showing. One was Terry at
the bar talking to Justin. So Terry wants to kill himself? I know he’s a little
messed up, but what about Arlene, and the kids? He’s just going to forget about
them. Actually Arlene would probably kill him just for making that kind of
deal. I told you I’m sure there are any good storylines left for Terry, and
Arlene.
Then there were the two scenes with
Sam, and Nicole, and you can throw in the one with Alcide, and his father. Did
we really need to see them wake up? We all knew what happened last week. And
then Nicole had to try to call home just for the purpose of Sam stopping her,
and Alcide’s father seeing them. So what will he do? My guess is forget he saw
them unless he has something else planned for them. Let me take a moment and
say, “hahahahahahaha!” Mr. One Scene’s father got more scenes then him!
Since I’m suddenly in a laughing mood,
I have to say I really enjoyed some of the funny moments in this episode. There
was the aforementioned vampire on the hamster wheel followed by Pam winning for
my favorite line of the night when she said, “care to explain the scientific
value of this.” See give Pam some good scene time, and the real Pam will come
out. I also liked when Jessica mentioned how God should strike her down, but
that won’t happen if Bill is God. And who doesn’t want to go throw one back at
The Unfriendly Possum?
Back to serious matters, they weren’t
kidding when they said Lilith, and Warlow were old. That might have been the
oldest flashback ever, and not to mention weirdest. “Hi I’m Lilith, I’m naked,
and I’m going screw and bite you right now!” So Lilith knew right when she met
him that he would save vampires? Question, how is he going to do that?
When Sookie and Lafayette were
preparing to summon her parents I totally didn’t remember how that usually
doesn’t end well for Lafayette. Poor Sookie, her father gets a second chance to
kill her. He needs to get over it because she’s all grown up now. Sookie should
have just blasted dad right out of Lafayette. Maybe she will do that next week.
Speaking of next week, that will
be episode 6, which means I will be expecting big things. I think I presented
enough questions that can be addressed. There is the matter of getting rid of
the Rev., and Sara. There are important things like Sookie escaping her father,
and Bill regaining control of Warlow. Oh and how could I forget the face-off
between Eric, and Pam? I can’t believe they really set that up, even though I
had a feeling something like that was coming. I will see you after next week’s
hopefully amazing episode. Time to hit The Unfriendly Possum!
