As
you may know, I always look for episode 6 as being a big episode in a
12-episode season. Big things need to happen. Events should change the
direction of the rest of the season. There should be surprises, and maybe even
some depressing moments. While I’m not sure this was the biggest 6th
episode it certainly had a lot of these things. So lets take a look at episode
6, “Don’t You Feel Me?”
Unfortunately I have to start of with
the most depressing moment of the episode… Terry’s death. I’ve been saying I’m
not sure where Arlene and his storyline is headed, and maybe the writers
weren’t either. That sometimes gets a character killed off. Credit Holly for
coming up for what seemed like a good idea. Too bad they didn’t count on Terry
having someone else kill him. If only Arlene would have talked to him first. I
was kind of surprised how no one really tried to save him. They just let him
pass away. A moment of silence for a good man….
Onto Sam’s storyline, which is another
one with little direction. You are telling me that he went through all of that
to get Emma back, and then just gives her up. What a waste of airtime. Then Mr.
One Scene comes in, and tells Sam he can’t return home. So what is Sam suppose
to do now? Of course he will go back home, but then what? And what will Alcide,
and his pack do now? Something interesting seriously needs to happen with these
characters soon!
Continuing with the theme of weak
storylines brings me to Andy, and his daughter. If he continues like this I
might have to make him the new Mr. One Scene. Unlike Alcide, I’m usually happy
to see Andy because at least he provides some humor. I didn’t quite catch it,
but did he say “Fandango” when Holly came up behind him? I also loved how he
went about naming his daughter. I mean, her initials are now A.B.C.D.! Only
Andy would do that!
All right, I think I got all of the
unimportant business out of the way. Onto the serious stuff starting with Sookie,
and Warlow. Interesting how Bill still felt her in danger. I guess they will
always be connected no matter how much they say they hate the other. Also
interesting how Bill let Warlow go save her. I told you a blast would knock
that ghost right out of Lafayette.
Then the weirdness took over when
Sookie teleported Warlow away. Skipping past their unusual conversation, lets
get to when she calls herself a whore, and then tries to prove that by
striping, and getting on top of Warlow. No I don’t want to talk about it
because she got naked. Man, you guys think so little of me. I do have to say I
didn’t think we would ever see her naked on the show again, but so much for
that. I do want to talk about Warlow biting her, and more importantly her
apparently biting him. Since when does she do that? Did I fall asleep for a
minute? So is Sookie going to go from half human half fairy to half fairy half
vampire? If Sookie ends up with Warlow, neither Warlow nor Bill will die
because she won’t let them kill each other so where are they going with this
storyline. A set up for the rest of the season.
Before I get to the two badass moments
of the episode, let me take care of my favorite line of the night. Andy was
close with the whole naming thing, but the winner this time is Jason. I enjoyed
his fake excitement at the recruitment center when he made it clear he was
ready to join the “fuck fanger police force.” Sometimes he isn’t as dumb as he
seems. I did feel bad when that bitch, yes I said bitch, Sara made him watch
Jessica almost have to have sex in front of everyone.
Now to badass scene of the night number
1: Eric and Pam pinning the guard up against the glass and stabbing him. How
awesome was that? The scene was already awesome the second Eric and Pam decided
to hover in the room with spears in hand. The guard getting killed was topping
on the cake. Oh, and when Eric saw the Rev. Man do I wish the Rev and Sara were
in that room with Eric and Pam.
I don’t often fell badly for Eric, but
that was pretty evil what the Governor did to him. Not that I care a whole lot
about Nora. At least they escaped as I expected Eric would. The episode is
supposed to be full of surprises, but I don’t think anyone was surprised that
the Tru Blood was poisoned. I’m curious to see what Eric does now that he knows
this.
Now to badass scene of the night number
2: Bill taking the head right off the Governor. This was probably the biggest
surprise of the night. No way did I think the Gov. would die so soon. Like the
first badass scene, this scene was awesome the second Bill stopped the guys
from firing on him, and had them fire on each other. Putting the head next to
the statue was a nice touch.
The only thing I didn’t understand was
why it appeared Bill just left after that. Why not go save the Jessica, and the
others? Can he really not find the white room? I guess he knew he could only
stay in the sun so long. Also, with Bill being able to see the future, how come
he doesn’t know that the Gov. wasn’t the only one behind the actions against
the vampires? I guess he will soon see that this was really Sara’s doing, as
she takes the role of lead villain. I can’t wait to see her head ripped off.
So I think this episode had a lot of
things on my checklist. It was a very good episode, but it didn’t blow me away.
Some good and bad surprises. Some good and bad deaths. Some sad, and badass moments. Most of all, it left us with a lot to look forward to in
the weeks to come. See you next week, as we move towards the second half of the
season.
