#TrueBlood S03E12

Spoiler alert! I will be discussing Season 3, Episode 12. If you haven't yet seen it, please divert your eyes.

Ok ok ok, season finale blah blah. Honestly, it was crap for a finale. I didn't like the way everything left off. Where was the climax? Where was that edge-of-your-seat feeling? The only feeling I was left with was disappointment. Either way, here's my recap:

Mr. Bill Compton; was it work or was it pleasure? We finally find out what has been hinted at for the last few episodes. What was Bill hiding? Oh, right... his entire relationship with Sookie was set up by the queen of Louisiana. Yeah, that bitch. Bill really bears his fangs and shows his dark side in this episode. His double cross of Eric. That was some shady stuff right there. The good ol' fake handshake, encase you in cement maneuver. And then he tries to impersonate Eric and have Pam killed. What have we learned about Bill? He's a liar and an asshole. Sookie is better off without him.

Sookie is finally free, or so it would seem. Of course the very last scene of the episode is her disappearing into a flash of light with other fairies. My reaction was quite literally, "... did that really just happen?" There was no suspense in how that was done. Horrible ending. Anyway, back to Sookie. She also shows a little bit of sass in this episode. She grows some backbone and stands up for herself. Exacting a little bit of revenge on Russell while saving him and Eric from a very fiery death. Oh, right, she can shoot beams from her hands now. I couldn't remember if I was watching True Blood or Heroes. 

You think that Sam has come back to the real world thanks to his sexual interaction with Tara, but he surprises me yet again. Sure, Tommy stole Sam's money, but you can't tell me that Sam didn't have it coming. Sam was a total douche in the previous episode and was throwing Tommy to the street. Sam hunted Tommy and his money down which is to be expected. The unexpected part was pulling a gun on poor Tommy; his own brother. That ends with Sam pointing the gun at Tommy and pulling the trigger. Sam has showed that he's not all good, but I don't think he'd kill his own brother. We'll have to wait till next season to find out.

 Lafayette and Jesus are kind of off in their own world, seemingly oblivious to everything else going on. Lafayette starts tripping balls and seeing all kinds of scary hallucinations. Jesus comes to the rescue and low and behold: he's a witch. "You’re a witch… who’s a nurse… who’s a dude." Yep, that just happened. After all the shit going on around him past and present, he takes it well. A witch? No problem.

Hoyte and Jessica are as happy as can be. Hoyte bought a new place for him and Jessica to live in together. He more or less proposes to her, tying the knot in their relationship. We also see Hoyte's mom out buying what will be a vampire killing rifle. She's thick. Killing Jessica would only push Hoyte further away, as well as putting her in prison. Minor details. That doll on the floor of Hoyte and Jessica's new place was a creepy omen as well.

Tara takes some initiative in her life and decides to make some changes. She squares things with her mother finally, chops off all of her hair, and from the looks of it, leaves town. Not bad. One problem is that she is leaving her best friend high and dry. The last thing Sookie told her was that she needed Tara to come back soon because she didn't want to be alone. That's an awesome way to make peace in a friendship that has been rocky.

What the hell is going with Arlene's baby? There's something evil brewing in her plumbing and I'm curious to see what that's going to be. Poor Terry is just all torn up between having to take Arlene to the hospital and Sam being a complete dick to him. In his eyes, everything is turning out for the best, but if he only saw the signs that something bad is on its way.

Jason has another amazing episode. I was not at all disappointed in this character or Ryan Kwanten's performance. Jason not only sacrificed his potential job as a sheriff, but sacrificed his girl Crystal in order to save an entire community. It was like the light bulb finally clicked for him and he took the responsibility with no questions asked. The people he looks over now look up to him and I can't wait to see where it goes. Truthfully, I don't think I'm going to miss Crystal too much. She went off with her ex / half brother in order to save Jason's life. I'm more worried about Jason's truck. I hope he gets a sweet new ride! 

Not the best season finale I've seen, but I will watch the next season when it airs next summer. In case you didn't hear, HBO signed True Blood for a 4th season. Congratulations to the actors and crew!

Spoiler alert! I will be discussing Season 3, Episode 11.

Ughhhhhh, I have nooooo idea how they are going to wrap everything up in just one more episode. Season 3 is completely bonkers. I don't even know where to start...

How about Sam Merlot? Last episode we saw a glimpse of his dark past. This episode he just lets it all out. He's drunk and angry and takes it out on everyone. My question is that if Andy Bellefleur was at Merlot's, how did he let Sam be that belligerent. That seemed a little weird to me, but hey. I'm just a viewer. What do I know? Despite Sam being a total douche, he ends up having sex with Tara. Oh, and now I'm glad Tommy is going to jack all his money. That's right, I said it.

Tara is a whole different story. She's a complete mess having found out that Jason was the one that killed Eggs. She learned that Andy meant well by covering it all up. I don't know what is going through her head. She is obviously still distraught by Eggs' death and everything else that has happened to her. She's crazy. Nuff' said.

Lafayette and Jesus are having some issues. As if a gay relationship isn't hard enough, you gotta throw some bad trips and everything just falls apart. What did Lafayette see that bothered him so much? Was it something in Jesus' past that he was seeing? Or perhaps Jesus' ancestors. I feel like this part of the story is almost unnecessary. I wonder how this is going to tie in to everything.

I think Russell goes an entire episode without killing someone. That's impressive. His thirst for power let him get fooled by Eric into stepping out into the sunlight. And how does Eric keep Russell in the sunlight? Handcuffs. Isn't Russell 2,000 years older than Eric? Couldn't he just drag Eric's ass back inside? Either way, I think Eric is going to make it through this. He drank Sookie's blood last, therefor would have the longest protection from the sun. We'll see next week though, won't we.

Sookie and Bill are having definite trust issues. And now, Sookie thinks Bill is throwing her to the wolves. She's quick to jump to conclusions, not realizing that both Eric and Bill are trying to save her. I think this whole Faerie thing is going to go more in depth. It has to. IT JUST HAS TO!

Despite the whole magic ritual, Arlene is still pregnant. She woke up with her nether regions soaked in blood and thought that the ritual had worked. I think the blood is a sign that her baby is going to be evil murdered. A baby born from blood... sounds like Dexter, doesn't it?

Jason Stackhouse. Is Crystal just using him to help her family? And what is with all the incest in that family. Crystal is all kinds of messed up. Then again Jason is too stupid to realize what he's in for. Props to Ryan Kwanten for playing that role so well! I kind of have beef with the whole were-panther thing. Werewolves, were-panthers.... what's next? Were-squirrels? Seriously though... 

Jessica and Hoyt sitting in a tree... I am happy that these two are together. I really hated that annoying girl he was dating. I don't even care what her name is. She's crazy and annoying. And we see that Hoyt's mom was behind that. Go Hoyt, do what's going to make you happy. I do have to say he's pretty ballsy though. Right after Jessica tells him that she accidentally murdered someone by draining them, he offers himself to feed from. Really dude? Let's just hope she really did learn to not drain people. Otherwise, you're pretty screwed.

Season 3 finale Sunday! Look for a review next week.

#TrueBlood S03E10

Spoiler alert! I will be talking about Season 3, Episode 10.

Talk about another intense episode of True Blood. Season 3 just keeps throwing me for a loop. Let's see what happened in this week's episode.

We finally figure out what Sookie is, but a fairy? I mean, she has cool powers and what not, but I don't know how I feel about that. Her relationship with Bill has been changing dramatically. If you remember back to the end of Season 2, she was ready to marry him. Now, she doesn't even trust him. Her relationship with Eric has become quite interesting as well.

We saw that passionate kiss that Eric shared with Sookie. The question is, does he really care for her? Why does he end up abducting her at the end of the episode? I think he might be acting for the greater good (or at least that's what is being hinted at), but that almost seems out of character for Eric. I'm sure it will all make sense when we are able to see the big picture.

Talking about kisses, Tara and Jason had an intimate moment. In episode 9, Jason saved Tara from Franklin which seems to have reignited Tara's feelings towards Jason. How does Jason react to the kiss? By telling Tara that he shot Eggs. Way to be sensitive dude. Later on in the episode, Jason finds a jaguar in his house. No not the car, the freaky deeky cat. And who does that happen to be? None other than his love interest, Crystal. Now, when she argues with her father, it is hinted that they aren't shifters. The question is... what are they? And how do they know so much about everyone else?

Oh boy... Sam Merlot. We've all this time from season 1 feeling sorry for Sam. He's the nice guy, the boss, and the one that always has good intentions. Of course, that was too good to be true. We see a much darker past that was to be expected. Everyone has skeletons in the closet, but this was crazy. Not only was Sam a jewel thief, but a murderer to boot. His love interest and partner sold him out and stole his "catch." Sam find them in the woods and one things leads to another, he ends up killing them both. Killing his love interest could have been considered an accident, but the man she was with... Sam executed him. This tooooootally changes Sam's character. This makes him the biggest hypocrite ever. Let's see where this goes.

How about the Lafayette and Jesus acid trip? We find out some interesting back story on both characters' family trees. Witchcraft, sorcery, voodoo... whatever you want to call it. There were some crazy things going on. Somehow I feel that all this back story is irrelevant because I feel that Jesus is going to get killed off. That's right, I'm saying it now. I could be wrong, but who knows? Seeing as True Blood is based on a series of books, Lafayette shouldn't even be alive. He dies in the first book! So, really, anything is possible.

Russell appears to be just as crazy as ever. The homage to Talbot was interesting as long as "interesting" means sick and twisted. I'm very curious to see how Russell is going to be stopped. It appears Eric has a plan to use Sookie against Russell without turning her over to him. Hmmm, guess we'll have to wait and find out what happens next week!

P.S. I'm happy that Hoyt and Jessica are together. And Tommy is a douche. Then again, it's because of him that she admitted to being in love with Hoyt.

P.P.S. Congratulations to Stephen Moyer (Bill) and Anna Paquin (Sookie) getting married IRL! Check out her fancy ring.

#TrueBlood S03E09

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @maniacalmorgan

Guys and girls, if you're one of those "Oh, I'll watch it soon" people, you need to SNAP OUT OF IT! Get on your Netflix, download it on iTunes, or find a torrent... I don't care how you do it, you should be watching this show. This is no Twilight. Sure, it has to do with romance, vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural creatures, but there is no God damn sparkling going on. When a vampire steps into the light, he/she bursts into flames (unless you saw S03E08). Enough with the background, let's talk about what's been happening.

This is a spoiler alert. If you are not up to date (Season 3, Episode 9) do not read the next paragraph.

What have we seen this season? Vampires, werewolves, and lots of man on man action. Honestly, things are getting so crazy, it's amazing. Episode 9 left me with one question, "WHAT THE FUCK IS SOOKIE?!" Oh my goodness. And what's going on with Russell. Eric was left to dispatch Russell despite a 2,000 year age difference, but with his shenanigans... will it still be left to Eric? Will "The Authority" side with Eric and try to find a way to get rid of Russell? So much is going on! Eric said not to trust Bill. Why is that? Bill had been keeping a file on Sookie and her family, but I don't think we really know why. I mean, he said it was to protect her better, but there has to be more to it than that. How about Franklin's resurrection? Honestly, that wasn't necessary. Especially since he got capped by Jason and his wooden bullet (I don't remember Jason keeping anything from The Fellowship of the Sun, but whatevs). I guess Tara has some closure now and we aren't sitting here wondering what's going to happen. She should have just chopped his head off in the first place. We all knew that bludgeoning wasn't going to work. Jason is a whole mess. I don't know what these drug dealers are since Crystal is being so shady, but they are bad news. It's too bad Jason is too dumb to see it. C'mon dude, open your eyes!

Anyway, I look forward to Sunday's episode! Feel free to share your thoughts with me about True Blood!
