True Blood’s Alive & On Fire

Truebies, this week’s episode proved that everything from naked men to incest are still alive and on fire in Louisiana. Let’s start with the most naked and least incestual vamp on the show: Drunk Eric.
After finishing off Sookie’s faery godmother, Claudine, Eric is slizzard, yo! Yeah, faeries affect vamps the same way Bella affects Edward– faes are their personal brand of heroine. Cutest Eric part of the night? He starts playing grab-ass with Sook, leading her to say, “Did you just pinch my butt?”
Of course, the Norseman responds, “Beautiful butt… heh heh heh.” Does she take advantage of the situation, and jump his bones? No. Hmph. What’s most annoying, though, is that Sookie, who obvi has no idea how to use her female charms to get Eric inside the house, talks to him like a uncompliant infant: “You can’t have any more. There isn’t anymore. You drank the whole faery, and you’re going to your room.” Eric is all later, mom, and beelines it for the forest.
He stays out all night, into the day, as Sookie and Alcide (in wolf form) look for him. They finally find him skinny-dipping in a “krokodiler”-infested lake, get his neked-ass home and into his cubby, and call it a day.
Thank you for that scene, HBO. It was amply drool-inducing.
Speaking of neked mens, Jason escapes the gang-bang known as Hot Shot, kills Felton, and passes out on the side of the road. Hoyt and Jessica find him, and to revive him, Jess feeds him her blood. Is this Jason’s final fall off the V bandwagon? Will that Mother Theresa view of Jessica cause Jason to fall in love with his best friend’s girl? Can TB connect these two storylines in a more awkward or convenient way? Do you care?
No? Then let’s move on to other incest, shall we?
Bill & Portia visit Caroline Bellefleur, a.k.a. Mona, and find out they are RELATED, y’all! Remember when I told you they should not know each other biblically? Well, there’s no going back now, and as much as Bill wants to cut Portia off, I have a feeling this year’s Bellefleur reunion is going to be drenched in awkwardsauce.
Want more awkwardsauce? Arlene & Terry’s baby gets in trouble for writing on the wall with a marker.
Buuuuuuuuuuut, the creepy thing is, we don’t know for sure if it’s the baby or Chucky, the weird doll Jessica gave the baby. Either way, the whole family gets freaked out. If it were me, first, I’d be pissed that the kid wrote on the obviously vintage wallpaper, then I’d put that baby in a gifted and talented program STAT. His penmanship and spelling are phenomenal!
While we’re on the lines of who should be in a gifted and talented program, we should bring up Tommy. Remember when he had this heart-to-heart with Sam?–> i can’t fkin read Well, he goes back to his momma’s trailer and has another heart-to-heart, but this time,
he can read! His explanation of reading is truly Emmy-worthy. Watch here: tommycanread Shortly thereafter, Joe Lee puts Tommy in a choke-hold on a chain, which is a surprise to Tommy, since his momma lied and said she left him. Didn’t see that coming. *eye roll*
Finally, we get to Marnie, Lafayette, Jesus, and Tara. Their Eric problem is now even bigger with Pam
wanting her maker back to normal, and she’s relentless. As Marnie tries to recall the spell in a circle made of candles and Morton’s, the ancient Wiccan spirit that she’s called forth invades her body, and casts a rotting corpse spell on my fav woman in latex, Pam. If that boo-boo doesn’t heal, Imma shank a witch. Nobody messes with my Pammy-poo.
So, which relaysh, incestual or not, are you l
ooking forward to next week? Personally, I’m looking forward to more Alcide and Eric candy. Until next week, fangbangers, I leave you with these gratuitous shots of both.

Thank sweet baby Jesus that the show was saved by the glory that is half nekkid Eric and Alcide (although I would be okay if Eric would grow out his hair). This episode was one hot mess of fail, only to be saved by some skin and your awesome recaps. The whole Hotshot deal just creeps me out like whoa, I’m completely confused by the Chucky doll story line, and I do not like King Bill. HBO better bring on the hot, dirty vamp sex soon, or I might have to flounce this season.
i agree with you, susan. dead to the world was a great book, but there is so much going on in true blood that the real focus of eric & sookie developing a relaysh that’s somewhat normal and fulfilling to both is not evident in the show. i feel like the book & tv show are two different plots, because very little from the book is brought to the screen.
i do like nasty nan, too, tho! i hope she bitch-slaps bill this season, cuz he deserves it.
oh, thank you for that pick me up on a Monday morning.
I’m so not sure what to think of this season. Dead to the World was such a great book and I feel like they’re messin’ it up. My biggest gripe is the fact that HBO has made the Hotshot folks so nasty and gross and in the books they were just…kind of normal. No “uncle-daddy-Felton” and “sister-cousin-grandma-mom” shit. Props to Jason for getting out of that shit. Weirdest like all night? “He got you good, let me rub some dirt on it.”
WTF?
And Marnie…I liked her better as Petunia Dursley. She always sounds like she’s about to cry or stroke out and it gets on my nerves.
Bill as king is all kinds of lame but I like this side of Nan Flannigan. She cracks me up.
