Rants About Tonights Episode of True Blood Spellbound

OK I just have to get on here and say my thoughts about tonight's episode!!! There are so many things to discuss about this one I really don't even know where to begin so I apologize in advance if I happen to jump around a bit in my ranting...lol

First thing first, WTF??!! I mean seriously?! Ok, now I had figured that Jason was going to succeed in saving Jessica from meeting the sun, but him actually acting with his little head yet again and kissing Jessica back I feel is going to end up having a certain amount of consequences down the line here in this season as does pretty much everything Jason ends up doing...lol. And Poor Hoyt, I do feel bad for him with the whole getting his heart broken by Jessica but did he really have to act like a spoiled large tree in the flannel shirt type of brat? (sorry I still love that line from Pam...hehe) She never intentionally meant to hurt him and in her own way she still and will always love Hoyt but I feel that Pam was right in the fact that Jessica is a different person now in the fact that she is a vampire and although she was trying to hold on tight to the person she used to be when she was human, her vampire instinct is starting to kick in and her trying to live a monogamous life with Hoyt or anyone for that matter, would actually do more harm then good to the both of them! Also why exactly did he freak out like that? He has been saying to Jason that he knew Jessica was most likely going to break things off and that he felt as though she was slipping away from him so why was he so surprised by the news when she finally did? He just flew off the handle and said some major things that was way uncalled for that he will never be able to take back! If I was Jessica, I would have done exactly what she did in her dream when she slammed his head into the counter..lol

Now the fourth book (I am sure I have mentioned before) is my all time favorite book out of the entire series. Just so you know I have read this particular book so many times that I do not need a bookmark to hold my place unless I have to close it, the binding is so warn out and the cover looks as though the book should be older then it actually is...lol Now we all new from Alan Ball that there was to be a sort of version of the unbelievably infamous shower scene between Sookie and Eric, and he has said that it was not going to be exactly like the book but he did however promise that we as fans shouldn't be disappointed and would be happy with the scene. Ok I can except that BUT I feel incredibly jipped here and boy was he sorely mistaken about that and thanks for nothing with that promise there Mr. Ball!!!!!!!

Hell we had a better shower scene between Bill and Sookie in the episode "Everything Is Broken" from season 3!! There wasn't even the tiniest bit of a shower scene between them!!!!!!!! At first for a split second I started to jump up and down in my seat getting all excited yelling "this is it! this is it! we're finally going to get to see it!!!" But to my dismay they were not even in the shower for a total of 30 seconds before what should have been the best scene of the entire existence of True Blood ended up becoming a disaster by entering a dream like state of Sookie and Eric both high off of each others blood! I felt it was more or less closer to the scene in "Fourth Man In The Fire" from season 1 when Amy and Jason kidnap Eddie and drank some of his blood and the started hallucinating. Watching that scene, I just wanted to walk up to the both of them whack them in the head with a frying pan and say this is your brain on drugs! Exactly what were the writer's and/or Alan Ball on when they came up with this scene that has destroyed my fantasy??!!


I know I am not the only one who feels this was either, already there are a few youtube post with people expressing their complaints about this scene and I have a funny feeling Alan Ball is going to catch some hell for this one!! Perhaps he needs to take a breather and some time off to get his head back in gear!

On a happier note, I was very happy to see that Alan had at least kept the part which showed Eric and Sookie starting their blood bond that is an important fact throughout the rest of the books!


It is a shame what all is happening with Tommy, I do think that Sam should have felt a little compassion and stopped to listen to Tommy on the whole situation with him turning into Sam. I mean how exactly could the poor boy know that was even a possibility? True Tommy really shouldn't have slept with his brother's girlfriend but hey he is a guy...lol However I can not condone that he did intentionally this time pretending to be Maxine, although that part was quite hilarious...lol In my opinion, Sam is in need for some actual anger management classes. And Tommy really needs to find someone to care for him and care enough about him to steer him into the right direction and help him to realize the difference between right and wrong!

Two of the best lines of this episode:
Andy - "Jesus Tits and God America Jason!" (why do I feel another t-shirt on the horizon just like when Andy told Jason, Conscious off; Dick on; And Everything is going to be alright...lmao)
Jason - "Uh sorry man I stopped listening about half way through."


On the subject of Tara, she is really pissing me off! I totally get the fact that she is having a hard time on all what Franklin Mott did to her last season but the choices she is making are unbelievable. How on earth could she willingly justify killing anyone, vampire or not?! And it is not all vampires that harmed her, Franklin was a sadistic certifiable nut job (in which was beautifully portrayed by James Frain) that should have been on a tighter leash had it not been that he worked for a King that was even more unstable then he was...lol I actually agreed with Pam with the fact that she said "this is so fucking lame" when Bill stopped her from killing Tara! I so wished he would have let Pam kill her off! I mean she didn't even look the slightest bit ashamed or sorry that she stood directly opposite of her all time best friend Sookie!


Debbie Pelt - I have said before, Alcide you can do way better then her! Last season Debbie had red hair, now this season she has blond hair. Does anyone else feel the same as I do that Debbie most likely dyed her hair blond in an attempt to look like Sookie?! I am sure you all have heard the saying "You can always take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl". Well boy does that saying pertain to her! Not to mention that she is a needy little bitch! Alcide, how can you not see how she is milking this whole sobriety BS already? Not to mention she is extremely self conscious and jealous of Sookie, that she had to have been the one to tell Marcus that the witches and vampires were going to war with each other in her feeble attempt to try to keep Alcide away from Sookie and keep him tamed in her clutches. I think it is safe to say that she is the one obsessed with Sookie way more the Alcide is....

A great moment was when Lafayette walked into the kitchen at Merlotte's after taking what seemed to be a cigarette break and walked in seeing the apparition of what I call "the Cajun lady" and said "Oh Hell..... F*** this shit" and walks right back on out of the kitchen lmao

Ok now we have found out where this creepy doll came from and sort of what the story behind that is as well as the Cajun lady and the fact that they are connected but my questions are, who was the white man who killed this poor lady's, not to mention his own child? Why is this spirit attached to Arlene's baby? Was the man the spirit had a child out of wedlock a Bellefleur?

What exactly was Marnie doing to Eric and why was she petting his head like a dog? I do have to say though Fiona Shaw was correct in the fact that her character Marnie was going to be hated more and more throughout the season...lol these people who are rallying with Marnie/Antonia are dumb as rocks, they are the sheep and she is going to lead these people into the slaughter and they are dumb enough not to even see that. Tonight was only the beginning of what is going to be a complete and utter cluster F*** of a fight...lol

I hated the fact that the preview for next weeks episode was even more of a yank in the chain! Every week I yell "Come on" with how they leave the episode and the fact that I have to wait yet again an entire week to see what happens. Before you say anything, I am fully aware that is the whole point...lol However that does not mean I have to like it...ahahaha But this weeks preview for the following week was just as bad if not worse then the torture that Alan Ball creates for us each week in the fact that after such an episode like this, he not only sticks the knife in our side by holding off till right before the end of the episode to start the Witch Vs Vampire war that is pretty much the main story line besides Eric and Sookie finally getting together, but then he just twists the knife already in our side by only showing a tad bit of what is to happen with Sookie with her being yet again at a near death state and Bill and Alcide trying to figure out how to save her since she is not taking Bill's blood when we all know that there is no way she will die. I just can not take this anymore!!!
