True Blood 1.11- "To Love Is To Bury"

written and directed by: Nancy Oliver

Leaving the world just as crazy as she came into it.
CEMETARY
-Pam Line of the Night: "I find myself doubting whether you were ever truly human." "Thank you."

-When Pam says "Vampire" you can just hear her capitalising the "V".

I don't have a witty caption. I just wanted a picture of Pam on here.
OPENING CREDITS

STACKHOUSE HOUSE
-Sam leaves a message on Tara's phone hoping she's not drunk in a ditch. She pretty much is.

ROADSIDE
-The woman who drove Tara off the road had a "crazy ass motherfucking Paul Bunyan pig."

-Tara tries to use the "sista" card on Kenya.

JASON'S HOUSE
-Jason finally sees how crazy Amy is. About time.

-Amy accuses Jason of knowing that it was never going to end well. I have to disagree. I think he's dumb (and lucky) enough to think it could end well.

-"Yankee bitch." "Dumb fucking hillbilly."

Who is what?
STACKHOUSE HOUSE
-Sam sleeps with his shirt off. I prefer it when he wakes up naked.

But I'll live with this.
-Sookie says she doesn't want to wait around to be killed. What else has she been doing this season?

JASON'S HOUSE
-Is wearing a white shirt the best idea when disposing of body parts?

-Bonus points for disposing of Vampire Eddie (RIP!) in a garbage disposal. 

MERLOTTE'S BAR AND GRILL
-Lafayette is painting his nails on the bar. It's kind of gross.

People are going to have sex on that bar!
-"I can't listen to politicians anymore. I get seizures."

-Instead Terry watches home decor show. Terry and I need to share a Netflix account.

BIG PATTY'S PIE HOLE (...OR SOMETHING)
-The waitress sounds like she has a mouth full of cotton.

-Look I know we're learning some important stuff about Cindy and Drew Marshal, but I just want you all to know that I would quit writing these recaps (that all ten of you read) and run a pie shop if I could.

-The old man says "vampers" instead of vampires like old southern people say "sugars" instead of diabetes.

JAIL
-Tara has to make the call of shame. 

The old prom dress only adds insult to injury.
ROAD CREW
-Maxine has night blindness, but who has a baby shower at night?

-Jason tries to become the third wheel for Renee and Arlene's date. That would be a hard pass for me.

-"These things, they got a way of working out, you know."- I'm surprised Renee wasn't twirling his mustache as he said that.

NOT BON TEMPS POLICE DEPARTMENT
-The police officer is a dick and Sam and Sookie set him straight. These two should team up more often.

...in bed!
SENATOR FINCH EVENT
-Lafayette looks good in that suit and there is something sexy about the way he blackmails Finch.

Rawr.
JASON'S HOUSE
-Poor Jason thinks this dinner is going to fix all of their problems.

CEMETERY
-I like that Jessica rises out of the ground like a hot mess. I always suspected the rising gracefully coffin thing was bullshit.

Bonus sad points for reminding me of when Buffy dug her way out of her grave.
-Bill looks so uncomfortable.

This is the face I make whenever he is on the screen.
SAM'S CAR
-I really wish that True Blood ends with Sookie and dogSam driving off into the sunset in a convertible. Or Eric and Pam doing the exact same thing, because they are the best.

-Sookie asks Sam if he knows any car songs? WTF is a car song?

JASON'S HOUSE
-Of course Amy had a French maid. Hurry up and die.

WHAT ARE THOSE MUSCLES JASON?!
-Amy convinces Jason to do V one more time. Bless him.

BACK WOODS
-"I shared my essence with you and we slept together in the ground." "Ew." "Not intercourse." 

The second "ew" you head was from me.
-Once again Bill explains being a vampire by magic. Lazy.

-"You have been made vampire." "Why?" "Because you were unlucky. Because life and death are unfair."- I love this quote in a non-ironic way. However, I do think this should be the tagline for the show. 

-Sounds like Jessica is going to be competing with Sam and Tara for shittiest family.

-Jessica argues that since she's a vampire she doesn't have to sit like a lady.

I'm not a vampire and I still don't sit like a lady.
-Jessica is me when I'm hangry.

JAIL
-What a righteous bitch Lettie Mae is now.

-"Fuck you."-She should have said that to Lettie Mae a long time ago.

JASON'S HOUSE
-Even though I really dislike Amy, I really, really love this scene. It's quite beautiful.

It's not just because Jason is in his whitey tighties.
-When Jason jumps on the bed after the dream, it reminds me of when everyone cheers for Harry Potter after he immediately comes out of the maze in The Goblet of Fire. I tear up during both.

FANGTASIA
-Jessica calls Bill a "dick".  Finally, somebody said it.

-Jessica wants to sit on Eric's lap. Finally, somebody said it.

Well somebody besides me anyways.

-Eric insinuates Bill is not a real vampire. This scene is just the writers pointing out my opinions I feel.

JAIL
-New character alert: Maryann. Just ugh.

-"You're not a Jesus person are you?"

-"I'm surrounded by assholes and morons."-Any must have worked in customer service too.

STACKHOUSE HOUSE
-"I'm looking in your heart."-Ugh.

Double ugh.
-Sookie finally rescinds Bill's invitation. Finally. Sam is a jerk about it though.

JAIL
-Bud sums it up by saying, "This is the worst confession I've ever heard in my life."

-The fax comes through. Renee is the killer!

I'll be honest. When I first saw this I had no idea who it was suppose to be.
END

I didn't have a musical moment for this episode, but enjoy "Come and Get Your Love" by Redbone instead, because I just saw Guardians of the Galaxy.


I know I don't really discuss how I liked the episodes, but this is my favorite episode of season 1 (hence the "my pick" tag). I think it's a great penultimate episode with some really good scenes.

SPOILERS
-Bill wonders if Pam was ever truly human which is funny, because he met her when she was human and he was feeding off her prostitutes. It's not "funny ha ha."

-The pig is Daphne.

-Sookie doubts Sam wants to spend 24 hours with her. BIG BOOK SPOILER they end up getting married at the end of the series.

-Amy's argument that they should do V, because of symmetry is very obvious bullshit. Like super obvious. Hilariously, though, it's the exact same tactic the series is doing at the end of its run to fool the audience into thinking there is real emotional investment. Especially with Bill and Sookie (blargh.)

Home of the Nutty has confused the names of this and the next episode on its site. It's still a great site though.

Please leave a comment. Come on. All the cool kids are doing it.
