 |
| I'd look that way too if Bill was my maker. |
-Like every blonde in a horror movie, Sookie decides the best way to escape Sam, who she thinks is the killer, is to hide in the shower.
 |
| Her weapon of choice: loofah. |
OPENING CREDITS
MISS JEANETTE'S FOREST OF HORRORS
-Part of Miss Jeanette's hoodoo to get out Tara's demon is to spit in her hand. "Aw, you nasty bitch." Don't think that got the demon out!
-Miss Jeanette gives Tara some snake juice courtesy of Tom Haverford.
 |
| "Give me a shot of Snakejuice. I hear it has a dope aftertaste."-Source |
-"Don't you dare get morally superior on me. I am an organic vegan and my carbon footprint is miniscule."- Everybody in Portland.
-You got to love Vampire Eddie. He knows he's not long for this world and he's still trying to save Jason from Amy's crazy.
-Vampire Eddie knows exactly how to play Amy by telling her that Jason isn't "as evolved" as she is.
 |
| Evolved or not, I want her hair. |
-Sam and Tara are in a competition for having the worst family.
-Sam says that he can only imprint on animals he's already seen.
-Sookie tells Sam that she doesn't hide who she is. Yeah we know Sookie. You let it slip to everybody.
 |
| I bet he lied about Sookie not scratching his belly though. |
-Based on how much Tara is throwing up, I have definitely exorcised some demons after a night of drinking.
-Miss Jeanette gives a hallucinating Tara a knife. She's either very brave or very stupid.
 |
| Even Tara thinks it's a bad idea. |
JASON'S HOUSE
-Jason thinks Stockholm Syndrome is a disease. I think it should be Alexander Skarsgård's next thriller.
-Amy suggests that Vampire Eddie become their pet. "Morally superior" my ass.
-"My god you are even better looking than you were yesterday."
 |
| Praise! |
-Tara's name is actually Tara Mae!
-The way Tara says, "I'd drive anywhere for you," makes this feel like a bad after school special.
MERLOTTE'S BAR AND GRILL
-"Thank you, Terry. You are so sweet and reliable. I always know what to expect from you. No nasty surprises."
"That's just because you don't know me very well."
 |
| Nope. Even when we know him he's still sweet and reliable. |
-We see Sam's first time when he's a teenager...his first time shifting.
MERLOTTE'S BAR AND GRILL
-Arlene is at least a polite Bridezilla.
LAFAYETTE'S DISPENSARY
-Lafayette is just waxing his chest and watching The Bad and the Beautiful. You go girl.
-
 |
| I will continue to make this joke. |
-Tara's mom may do a lot of things wrong but eating crawfish is not one of them. Sucking the heads is the best.
PHARMACY
-Miss Jeanette is a fraud. Shocker!
 |
| "I think that's scout's honor."-Source |
-Musical Moment of the Night: "Maison Creole" by CC Adcock and the Lafayette Marquis. It's the first song played at Arlene's engagement party.
-Terry is winning MVP for this episode with some great lines, even if they're not funny. "Guilt is a useless emotion...or so I've heard." "There are some dead people I wish was around too."
PARKING LOT TRIBUNAL
-Zeljko Ivanek (The Magister) is always good at playing deliciously evil.
 |
| He also makes a pretty convincing Canadian in In Bruges. |
JASON'S HOUSE
-Vampire Eddie is still looking out for Jason by straight up telling him Amy is a psychopath. How many more hints does he need?!
VAMPIRE EDDIE'S HOUSE
-Lafayette finds Vampire Eddie's house abandoned.
MERLOTTE'S BAR AND GRILL
-Arlene says that nobody wants to dance with Sookie, because they're afraid of her. No, it's because she's being a bitch during this entire party.
-Renee describes himself as a "coonass".
 |
| Coonass and the Bitch is a Disney movie I would watch. |
-Jason talks about his experience at Fangtasia like I talk about my experiences with online dating.
-I doubt Hoyt has had the upper hand in any relationship.
 |
| Especially this one. |
TRIBUNAL
-I like how Eric is so unwilling to help Bill out. Eric is the best.
 |
| You beautiful Scandinavian son of a bitch. |
-Unfortunately, The Magistrate is feeling creative and doesn't lock Bill in a coffin for five years. We can only imagine how great the show would have been if this was the case.
MERLOTTE'S BAR AND GRILL
-Arlene loves Renee's butt. I'm not terribly impressed.
-Oh Tara. We've all been there; drunk and disappointed trying on our old prom dress. The only difference is I do all that in the safety of my home.
 |
| Added points for doing hair and make-up though. |
-Sam's parent's abandoned the house, but left Sam's stuff. Damn.
MERLOTTE'S BAR AND GRILL
-Andy actually seems like a pretty good detective.
-Tara gets just as handsy as I do when I drink.
 |
| Oh college. |
-No means no Tara.
OUTSIDE MERLOTTE'S BAR AND GRILL
-Lafayette ruins Jason's good shirt with his concern for Vampire Eddie.
TRIBUNAL
-We're introduced to Jessica and it's pretty sad.
TARA'S CAR
INSIDE MERLOTTE'S BAR AND GRILL
-Sookie apparently didn't learn anything earlier in the episode, because once again she hides instead of running outside when she thinks somebody is trying to kill her.
 |
| "No one will think to look for me in the bar I'm being attacked in!" |
-PIG!
JASON'S HOUSE
-Goodbye Vampire Eddie. You were too smart to survive this show :(
 |
| If only he could have hidden in plain sight! |
-There are a lot of vampire spectators at this tribunal. What do they do besides go to tribunals? How often does the tribunal meet?
-While it's noble that Bill tries to glamour Jessica, in the end he still takes up more time than is necessary draining her thus still making her suffer.
 |
| If the audience has to suffer Bill then so should she. |
END
SPOILERS
-So I missed talking about a big book spoiler in the last episode's recap. In the book Bill doesn't actually kill Long Shadow, Eric does. In hindsight this should have been a warning to how much the writers would overplay the importance of Bill. I prefer the way it happens in the book, because a.)I love Eric the most and b.) I think it has a lot more impact that Eric does it since it was his bar and he's been set in his vampire ways for over a thousand years and it shows just how weak and obedient to the vampire rules Bill is.
-Sam says that he has to see the animal to imprint on it. He'll later turn into a really majestic bull. Where the fuck did he see that at?
-Sookie asks if Sam can turn into a human. While Sam never does (I don't think), we learn that some shifters can turn into a human under special circumstances.
-The younger version of Tara that Tara hallucinates has black eyes. Perhaps Maryann has something to do with all of this.
-Miss Jeanette tells Tara that "faith is a powerful thing". That should be the tagline for next season.
-In the books Bill does leave Sookie but not for a tribunal. He leaves to become the Investigator of Area 5. It's not really mentioned again after a couple of books.
-The Magister seems concerned about the happenings of Fangtasia, but we learn that The Magister actually gave Eric and Pam that space (then a video store) as a punishment. It was fantastic.
-Andy says he doesn't drink in this episode. Boy will he start soon.
-Lafayette is afraid that the same shit that happened to Vampire Eddie will happen to him. It does! He gets kidnapped and chained in a basement!
-This is just a book spoiler, but Jessica isn't in the books. I went to a Charlaine Harris Q&A once and asked her what differences she liked between the series and her books. The existence of Jessica was one of her answers.
