True Blood 2.01- "Nothing but the Blood"

written by: Alexander Woo
directed by: Daniel Menahem

You beautiful WAS-Fellowship of the Sun bastards. 
MERLOTTE'S BAR AND GRILL
-Picking up right where we left off, there is a dead person in Andy's car! That's why you always have to roll the windows down for your hookers.

-Just joking! It's Miss Jeanette and not Lafayette like we were psyched out to believe!

-Tara is giving Ginger a run for her money with that screaming.

And with her life choices.
OPENING CREDITS

MERLOTTE'S BAR AND GRILL
-Andy is really pushing this whole "she wasn't killed in my car" thing. Seems suspicious. 

-"You're overworked. You're also drunk."
"What? I'm not overworked."-You and me both Andy.

BILL'S HOUSE
-Bill pronounces the "h" in "whilst".

I pronounce the "h" in "horrible".
-Over the phone Sookie tells Bill that she always needs him. They've known each other for like a month. She didn't always need him.

-I'd make fun of Bill recycling, but I'm from Portland, so I actually cried a single tear.

JASON'S HOUSE
-Studying The Fellowship of the Sun book is probably the first time Jason has ever used a highlighter. 

Except on his hair.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
-I want to record Kenya's tutting, because honestly I need that in my life.

-Lettie Mae barges in during the questioning, because she finally cares about Tara's involvement with the law? Nope! Miss Jeanette's death is all about her. 

Sookie will play this card soon and often.
FANGTASIA TORTURE DUNGEON
-Lafayette is chained up in the basement in Fangtasia with some other people. They get a bucket and we get to hear the sound effects. Everyone is being tortured. 

-"You shut your mouth you fucking inbreed."

Making friends and influencing people everywhere.
BILL'S HOUSE
-Bill and Jessica are trying to out ridiculous each other with their accents. 

POLICE DEPARTMENT
-I may not like Maryann, but I do like the trick she plays on Lettie Mae. 

BILL'S HOUSE
-Bill is a fuddy duddy and Jessica wants to rebel. This dynamic can only be funny for so long.

-"Compared to Fangtasia this blows."-Truer words were never spoken.

-Sookie accuses Bill that if Jessica was still with Eric then Sookie wouldn't know about Jessica. She is spot on. 

It won't be the last time it happens Sookie!
TELEVISION
-Steve and Nan are going at it on tv...not that way...I wish. 

You could stake the sexual tension.
STEVE NEWLAND MEET AND GREET
-Steve is the most famous person Jason has ever met. The most famous person I ever met was Kristen Bell or David Tennant. Who's more famous?

-Sarah says that you can't put a price on salvation. Pretty sure the Catholic church has tried that. 

MARYANN'S MANSION
-"There was a bit of a murder in my parking lot."-If I'm ever murdered please call it "a bit of a murder."

SAM'S FLASHBACK
-Even young Sam had a cute butt.

Here is the PG version of it.
STACKHOUSE HOUSE
-Sookie is listening to a record. What a hipster. She's probably only cleaning Gran's room out to look for vintage finds.

-You shouldn't speak ill of the dead, but Gran was knitting an ugly ass scarf.

-Sookie learns that Uncle Bartlett is dead. Duh duh duh.

MARYANN'S MANSION
-Everyone is smoking pot and being cool, but really it's boring as fuck.

-Eggs says he has never eaten kumquat. What is wrong with him?

-This is what I think whenever Eggs talks:


-Maryann has a strong pimp slap. 

ROAD CREW
-Even Hoyt knows that The Fellowship of the Sun is bad and he is really sheltered.

-Sookie drops off the check to Jason. Some divine intervention...or a just some plot.

SAM'S FLASHBACK
-Maryann has sex with Sam. That's all.

MERLOTTE'S BAR AND GRILL
-9 out of 10 artificial nails are down! Arlene girl you do need some back up.

The horrors!
FANGTASIA TORTURE DUNGEON
-The conversation with Lafayette and the redneck is gold.

-"You do not need to be telling me this shit."-White people, right?

-I feel bad for Lafayette. Being stuck in a shit town and doing whatever it takes to get out.

-"I pray to god you ain't the last motherfucker I meet before I die."

I'd be ok if a shirtless Lafayette was the last person I met before I die.
MERLOTTE'S BAR AND GRILL
-I shouldn't be surprised Arlene is super racist or a hypocrite. She makes a joke about "more chins than a Chinese phonebook" and then yells at some ladies "don't you people have any shame?!" 

Nope!
-Jason lies to Sookie and says that he's going to Malboro Baptist. Who's the dumb one in the family for believing that lie?

BILL'S HOUSE
-Bill decides that statistics are the best way to win Jessica over. 

It doesn't work.
-"You are so not Eric."-Amen.

SAM'S TRAILER
-Sookie needs to hear that she isn't the center of Sam's universe.

MERLOTTE'S BAR AND GRILL
-Bud is looking good.

1st place indeed!
SAM'S FLASHBACK
-Spoiler, that statue has nothing to do with Maryann's obsession with Sam. I try not to spoil, but the plot is too boring for me to care.

MERLOTTE'S BAR AND GRILL
-Musical Moment of the Night: "Golden State" by John Doe and Kathleen Edwards. Plays in the background during the scene.


BILL'S HOUSE
-Sookie makes us realize that she is responsible for a lot of death so far and it's only the beginning of the second season.

-Sookie and Bill bone. To quote Jessica, "ew."

FANGTASIA
-Finally a badass motherfucking vampire that isn't an embarrassment to vampires!

Of course that vampire is Eric.
END

Sorry about the delay between the seasons guys. I was on an insomnia vacation. It's crazier than most vacations.

SPOILERS
-In the books Sookie uses the inheritance as a donation to a hospital. It's a lot better than what happens in the show.

-Bill goes on and on about what a redemption Sookie is for him. He says the same stuff throughout the seasons. Unfortunately, that's giving Sookie a lot more credit than she's worth and it shows his unwillingness to take responsibility for his own life which makes him pretty shit.
