Eric and Sookie? WTF?!?

I was writing my recap/review/thoughts on tonight’s episode, and I don’t know if it’s my new commitment to being healthy, the summer heat, or the quiet solitude of inner reflection that’s caught hold of me of late, but this episode has stirred up much thought. Too much to write down tonight in a coherent and concise manner.

Rest assured, my thoughts will arrive on this blog in post haste because I need to write it. But for now, know this…if you are not watching TrueBlood, you need to be, because TV doesn’t get any better than this. This I promise you!

And yes, tonight’s episode was major! It definitely blew my mind and I just know that this episode is just preparing you for next week. This is a juggernaut show my friends. Here’s a sneak peek at next week’s episode thanks to the cool folks at TrueBlood’s Nest.

Alcide TrueBlood Season 3 Trouble via SciFiMafia

Oh my Godric! Tonight’s episode was gooood! There was definitely “Trouble” with a capital T for a lot of the characters! Sookie, Alcide, Bill, Tara, Tommy. Gosh! Even Jesus’ interest in Lafayette has me skittish! Though I am happy as heck for Lafayette. He deserves some happiness in his life. Let’s hope it’s really something. Terry is another one I feel pangs for. I am so happy for him, but Arlene, you are fixin’ to break his heart. You may just break the man when it happens….and it will, because solid, lasting happiness seems fleeting for the residents of Bon Temps. Must be all the supernatural-ness in the air. It just seems to create drama (lucky for us Trubies though!).

BTW, Franklin, you are such a freak! But it’s all good, this is TrueBlood afterall, and being a wee bit (or majorly) unbalanced seems to be par for the course. Yet you are exceedingly good at your job! I must give you that.

And just what is up with the Mickens? What is Tommy hiding? Whatever it is, it’s sure to be shock worthy. Not shocking, however, is Jason’s habit of falling for the wrong women. Even when they admittedly have secrets they are unwilling to share with him, he just can’t help falling head over heels for ‘em.

Eric is so_________ I will let you finish that any way you want to!

Eric just keeps getting deeper and deeper. I love it, as Eric definitely is my favorite character. He is just so deliciously shameless and delectably jaded in so many ways. However, if I know anything, this is a sure sign of a character with a vulnerable heart, and we keep seeing tasty glimpses of it. He sure is taking his sweet time with Sookie, however.

One person not wasting any time is Tommy, making the moves on Jessica. I guess it can take less than 90 days, baby vamp J. And speaking of Jessica, she just keeps making me laugh with her antics. She seems to be getting on just fine on her own.

Sookie sure is fiesty, but Debbie looks like she can be rabid, so watch out Sookie. I don’t think even Bill can keep you safe. And Bill, I’m so glad you’ve stopped acting out of character, even if it was only long enough to warn Sookie. You’ve gained some redemption in my books….slightly. Unfortunately, it looks like you’ll be at the mercy of Lorena. Eric has some sort of agenda that may or may not have priority over his lust for Sookie, despite the heated flavor of his vampire fantasies. Looks to me like Talbot may be an unexpected tool in Eric’s arsenal. The Northman’s appeal seems to know no bounds.

So who will help Sookie now? Well, Alcide, it looks like she may be left in your very capable hands. You two just keep being thrown together. What an interesting foursome. Eric, Sookie, Bill and Alcide, oh my! Want to see something else interest peaking? Check out next week’s episode, compliments of TrueBlood-news.com!

~P.S.~ Things don’t look good for the Magistrate (he’s kind of a buzz kill, anyway. I won’t miss him!) or for Queen Sophie Ann. Can you say comeuppance? I just hope Pam makes it. I’m confident that Eric will make it in time, even if the king keeps putting him off. I can’t wait to find out what that power is that Sookie possesses. It’s amazing to everyone who sees it! Just what are you, Sookie? One thing’s for sure, TrueBlood doesn’t disappoint. It’s one show that always leaves you wanting more! Can’t wait until next week!

DISCLAIMER: READ AT OWN RISK! IT’S SPOILER CITY!

Bill! For shame!

Well, I have a few things to say. Here goes:

Bill: How could you!?! That was THE harshest break up call I’ve ever been privy to! And over the phone! What ever happened to your Old World charm and chivalry? Your true vampire nature has been revealed. You were very scary tonight. I’m seeing sides to you I never dreamed you were capable of. I know you’re just trying to keep Sookie safe, but come on!

Sookie: Poor Sookie. I just wanted to give you a hug. You were really crying like your heart was completely broken. (I so believed Anna Paquin‘s performance. She is one stellar actress. And she didn’t get an Emmy nod why?) I think we all felt the way she felt at least once. 90 days, Sookie. 90 days to get over Bill. Or would it be longer because he’s a vampire?

Eric: Oh, what layers you have! I love it! I love seeing your sensitive side. I can’t wait to see all your little fantasies come true.

Tara: Oh, Tara. Tara, Tara, Tara. Don’t you know loose lips sink ships? I know you were under his spell, but still! Don’t you know very few mortals are impervious to the vampire glamour? I know you’re a tough little scrapper, but close your eyes next time! Remember that the saying goes, you attract to you what you are! Franklin is your vampire mirror image. I knew he was going to bite you when you least wanted it. Oh, Tara. Be careful what you wish for.

Franklin: You’re one twisted devil! Although, every time I hear your name I can’t help but think of Franklin the turtle. Just what are your crazy plans?

Sam: I guess you can’t choose your family, huh? Sometimes it’s just too late to be a big brother. I hope Tommy doesn’t screw you over. Remember, nice guys finish last.

Jessica: I love watching you learn and grow! You are so adorable. Give you some time and you will be a vampire to reckon with.

Hoyt: Jessica is never going to be with you unless you are a vampire. Move on, or get bit.

Lafayette: You’s one lucky brother. You feelin’ me? It sure is great to have friends in high places. (And vampires for friends!)

Arlene: The truth always comes out in the end. Could it be Renee’s love child? You are in a fine pickle now. If you don’t tell Terry, you’ll break his heart when he finds out. If you do tell Terry, you’ll break his heart because you lied. Even if you’d told him the truth right from the beginning….well, you might have broken his heart anyway. Rock…Arlene…hard place.

Jason: Blackmail? Really?

Andy: Tangled webs. Deception is never a good thing, even if it is for a reason you believe to be right. You’ll always have regrets.

Pam: I hope for your sake Eric succeeds. I will miss you if you come to a permanent end. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone more faithfully loyal. Eric will be grief stricken if you experience a true death. Will Sookie be there to comfort him? Only time will tell, but I hope Eric doesn’t fail and truly cares for you, and does everything he can to save you, his child. Hopefully your loyalty isn’t misplaced.

Alcide: Keep working out. It looks good on you. Oh, and FYI — you deserve someone WAAAAY better than Debbie.

Lou Pines: Love the play on words.

Lorena: You need to find someone else to love. Might take a little longer than 90 days though.

Russell: Can you say diabolique? A true vampire embracing vampire practicality and vice without regret or conscience you are.

Needless to say this episode was delicious as usual, and yes, I want more! There was indeed some serious f***ed up-ness in this episode. The lives of these fantastic TrueBlood characters are getting more and more tangled. Just take a sneak peek at next week’s episode!

~P.S.~ Recognize Alcide from anywhere? You might want to check out One Tree Hill.

Eric and Sookie Season 3_Will they or will they not?

Hoowee! Tonight’s episode of TrueBlood, “Beautifully Broken” was AAAAWWWWe-some! All the story lines were exciting tonight. Last week’s episode had a wee bit of a leisurely pace. I was like, it’s going to be excruciatingly delicious riding the build up. But tonight was like a thoroughbred hot to get out of the gates! LOTS of new characters and all the story lines were delish!

My faves? Eric and Sookie, and Tara and Franklin Mott. Franklin is played by the wickedly delicious and devious James Frain.

The deliciously wicked James Frain as Franklin Mott.

Remember him as Cromwell in The Tudors? As soon as I saw him, I knew this season would be GOOOD!

And what is up with Bill! Was his appearance at Merlotte’s a coincidence? Are his original intentions towards Sookie in question now? NOOOO! Say it isn’t so! I thought their love was pure! Sookie will be so disappointed if their spontaneous meeting was planned. Even though I’m fairly certain Bill didn’t plan (or was it THE plan? Hmmm. Diabolical and Machiavellian!) to fall in love with her, I’m getting the feeling his appearance in Sookie’s life wasn’t all that coincidental after all. Bill’s virtue is a wee bit tarnished in my eyes now, but I still love you Bill. I WANT you to redeem yourself!

Sookie and Her Boys_TrueBlood Season 3

Well, it will at least allow me to enjoy Sookie’s other male diversions (namely Eric and Alcide) while Bill is away a little more guilt free from this moment on. Love Eric’s flashbacks, too! It’s good to see Godric again and get a chance to peel back all of Eric’s, ahem, layers! I always knew he was deep! Could he have true feelings for Sookie?

Yesiree, Bob! TrueBlood is DEFINITELY heating up! Carbonated fresh blood anyone? It comes with a warm blood bisque with rose petals, followed by a fabulous blood gelato!

~P.S.~ And did you see Alfre Woodard? Stellar!
