| Bill Compton: All around trustworthy guy...For now! |
-Bill and Sookie arrive at Sookie's house and they have another argument by her front porch. We're only five episodes in and already this stuff is getting old.
-Sookie thinks that Bill would have killed or at least drained the police officer that pulled them over. I'm thinking no big loss really.
-"No thank you. I can get this door myself."-me, anytime a man tries to open the door for me.
-The scene ends with a shot of the collie in the bushes. This will begin True Blood's "subtle" approach.
 |
| Nothing to see here! |
LAFAYETTE'S DISPENSARY
-Tara comes busting in and throwing stuff at Lafayette for selling V to Jason.
-"Giving V to Jason Stackhouse is like giving Ho Ho's to a diabetic."
STACKHOUSE HOUSE
-Gran is getting the telephonic version of hate mail about Bill's talk at the Descendants of the Glorious Dead meeting scheduled for that night.
-"You will go to hell for this."
"Alright, same to you!"
 |
| Sidenote: With her two tone hair Gran looks like Rogue as a senior. |
JASON'S HOUSE
-Jason gives us a visual approximation of what getting his penis drained looked like.
 |
| Even True Blood has limits to what it will put on air. |
-Always the entrepreneur, Lafayett'e convinces Jason that he needs to try V juice again.
-"Christ, I can't believe I'm doing this again."-Neither can we Jason.
MERLOTTE'S BAR AND GRILL
-Arlene is positively gloating that Sookie is in the outs with Bill. She describes the clientele at Fangtasia as "a lot of freaks...and people from Arkansas." This is perhaps a jab at Charlaine Harris the author of the Sookie Stackhouse books.
-Sam puts Sookie on the spot by asking her to the Descendants of the Glorious Dead meeting for a date. She responds with a resounding "Why not?".
 |
| I can think of all sorts of reason why. |
-Andy decides to pump Sookie on information about Tara and Jason. Sookie loses her temper and basically tells Andy that she can read his mind. Honestly, how has Sookie been able to last this long without letting it slip to the whole town is beyond me.
-When Sookie tries to listen into Tara's thought all she's thinking is "la, la, la, la, la." It's the sound I make when Bill talks.
 |
| To be fair she could also be doing that as well. |
CHURCH
-The bit where Maxine and Hoyt try to remove the cross is pretty funny. Spoiler, it may the only time Maxine tries to be politically correct.
 |
| Work it! |
-Adele plays stupid about the Mayor's fears of having Bill talk to a group of people. I understand projecting confidence, but let's not act like everybody isn't thinking the same thing.
-Bill is listening in like a huge creeper.
-Sookie and Sam awkwardly take a seat next to Tara. "Sure come on in. Could always use more white people."
-A redneck makes the joke "descendants of the walking dead." It won't be funny for two more years.
-When Sam tells Sookie to relax, it's basically like telling a girl to smile. I hate him for it.
 |
| Somehow I think I'll forgive him. |
-Bill comes up on stage and removes the flag from the cross. We all clutch our pearls.
 |
| "Oh my stars and garters." |
-See the Spoiler section for my analysis of Bill speaking to the town.
-Bill talks about his time in the Civil War. Sheriff Bud Dearborn makes the completely accurate statement, "That son of a buck's been killing since the 1860's." I realize that I don't know American history at all.
-"No darling we're white. He's dead."
-The redneck's idea of stirring shit up is to mince some garlic.
BILL'S HISTORICAL FLASHBACK
-No offence to Mr. Humphries, but Tolliver sounds like an absolute dumbass.
-Ok I know I rag on Bill a lot (he deserves it), but it was actually really nice of him to tell that story.
PRESENT DAY CHURCH
-We learn that vampires cry blood. When they sneeze does blood come out?
-Bill continues to improve in my opinion by hugging it out with Terry who really needs it.
-Pro: Hoyt poses for the photo like this.
 |
| "This is going on the mantle!" |
-Bill tries to put a stop to Sam and Sookie dating by sounding like HR. "You're Sookie's employer." "Not when we're off duty." "No, legally you still are."
-Gran ain't got time for this shit.
 |
| These are literally some of her last moments. |
MERLOTTE'S BAR AND GRILL
-I'm going to have to steal Meredith Woerner's (from io9.com) line about characters getting high in True Blood. It will always be more fun to do drugs than to watch the characters acting high.
CRAWDAD'S RESTAURANT
-Sookie makes us realizes that Sam is super suspicious beyond rolling around in a dead girl's bed.
MERLOTTE'S BAR AND GRILL
-You guys really just need the whole video (opens in new window).
-"Bitch you come in my house, you gonna eat my food the way I fucking make it. Tip yo' waitress."-me, every time I cook for my family.
 |
| I also wear the same outfit. |
-Sam finally gets to kiss Sookie! He immediately ruins it for being jealous and p(r)etty.
-"You have no future with a vampire!"
"They don't die! I've got nothing but a future with one."-ha
MERLOTTE'S BAR AND GRILL
-This is how Hoyt...dances?
 |
| He calls it "keeping it real". |
BILL'S HOUSE
-We're almost threatened with another Bill flashback, but luckily Bud and Andy save us.
-The way that Bill tells Andy that Frescas are for guest is the way you tell a three year old not to touch nice things.
-Once again the internet proves that I can't have nice things, by not providing me with a screencap of William Sanderson's vampire hand motion. The man's hands are the real actors.
-Bill gives Bud some pretty "come hither" eyes when he says that sex with a vampire is common.
 |
| *wink* *nudge* |
-Word of the day: exsanguinate.
-I instantly go back to hating Bill again, because he served Andy a warm Fresca. Rude.
FLASHBACK
-Lorena has always been a crazy bitch. She kept the motherfucking corpses!
-Bill proves that he's always been a stick in the mud.
-Bill's not allowed to see his wife and kids again, but don't worry viewer we will be seeing them again in many pointless flashbacks.
BILL'S HOUSE
-Bill loses his shit on some old timey toaster.
 |
| It knows what it did wrong. |
-We were almost in danger of having an episode where Jason doesn't have sex with anything (himself included.)
STACKHOUSE HOUSE
 |
| This wouldn't have happened if she was the elderly Rogue. |
-Musical moment of the night? Well there wasn't one for this episode, so instead enjoy "Sukie in the Graveyard" by Belle and Sebastian
-When Lafayette discusses the type of vampire the V is from he's basically discussing Eddie the vampire.
-So I would argue that the real reason that Bill is at the DOGD meeting isn't to impress Sookie. It isn't really even about talking about the Civil War. What it's really about is Bill creating good PR for the vampire community. He dispels some myths (cross, photos), makes some jokes, and shows that vampires are basically harmless textbooks. This is a dangerous Bill. The perception of Bill as a "good" vampire drives Bill to do some horrible and crazy things.
-The boy crying out in the field during the Civil War is a Bellefleur.
-We will see the flashback of Bill's family taking the photo that Mayor Norris gives him. It's pretty pointless beyond things coming full circle which is symbolic without depth.
Screencaps procured from Home of the Nutty.
