    Agreed, this episode was a vast improvement over the last few. Even Sookie got to sound like she was finally in some semblance of control when she was threating to dig out the werewolf's secrets.

    Yeah, I think Eric will work with a few of the others to pin it all on the King. If they're lucky, the Queen might even get out of it scot-free. I just don't think she is nearly as evil as he is, she's just bored and selfish. He's got the motive to overthrow the King of Alabama now.

    To be honest, after this episode, I think the side plots are the most interesting right now. I didn't think the Tara and Sam sideplots would be any good at all, but somehow even the family strife has a lot of mystery around it. It had better not disappoint they way they were hyping up what Sam's drunken step-father was using his half-brother for.

    Even though it isn't important at all, I really like the little battle starting between Arlene and Jessica. It's a nice relief from the heavier stuff this season is finally starting to get into. Kind of like Jason always being a dumbass.

    Preview of the second half of this season, spoilers obviously.

    That Jessica is pretty cute. Especially when her fangs popped out after Arlene cut herself.

    Shit just hit the fan! Where to start? First of all we know the crazy Franklin is alive (although everyone probably knew that anyways). Lorena is finally dead. Eric found out something about Sookie that we didn't get to hear that surprised Eric a great deal it seemed. It sounded like she was Sookies cousin though. But i don't think that is what gave Eric that face. Probably something about this holy power Sookie seem to posses. Bill went all animal kingdom on Sookie and now she seems to be afraid of him. That can't be real can it? Must have been the shock. Like the last thing she remembers is getting almost killed by a feral vamp. Because Sookie has been running in to danger hundreds of times for Bill even though he has explained how dangerous it is. She must realize the danger of feeding a vamp that is near death.

    Sam impressed me. Standing up like that. Putting their own son in a dog fight. Hope Tommy really use his brain for once and stay with Sam. Will be disappointed if Tommy runs back as easily as last time.

    Love to see how much Eric care for Pam. So far he has seemed like he don't care for much, and only try to fill his existence with amusement. Only thing he have cared for is Godrik, his maker, and now Pam who he made. Family ties at least seem to mean something to some vampires. Bill don't show that much care for Jessica but then again he got her forced upon him. Anyways nice to she Pam finally free again. Definitely one of the hottest women on the show.

    I just love the Kings madness. Not even afraid to slay the Magister. Taking on this "authority". Bet that media vamp is part of them. Or work directly under them. Wonder if they actually have what it takes to take on a 3000+ year old mad vampire.

    Not much progress with Jason more then it seems he has a lead as to get info on his girl. To much lack of Jessica and Lafayette.

    I've been waiting for a long time for Eric to make his move on Russel. I thought he was going to hold out longer, but I guess he made the right move at the right time. I was hoping he'd deal the finishing blow to Russel instead, but given how far Eric has gone for Pam, he probably hurt him more than if he had killed him.

    The episode started with a bit too much whining and crying, but at least it ended on a high note, with lots of action Jessica and Eric.

    I'm never quite sure if Jason is going to himself killed, but I guess if Sookie got the cool angelic powers, Jason got the Devil's luck. How he gets his dumb ass into so much trouble and getting away with a only few scratches so far is beyond me.

    Eric should`ve seduced Russell and backstab HIM and then wtf pwn Talbot, but i guess that wouldn`t be much of a revenge if Russell doesn`t suffers.

    My oh my, so much to write.

    There was something in me that sort of forgave Sookie in episode 6-7 for being horrible. Perhaps it was her willingness to actually risk her life to save Bill instead of being all talk and enslaving everyone around her. I liked her head to heads with Debi and the King for some reason.

    Sookie managed to piss me off yet again by saying she has a right to mind-rape her own brother for arbritrary reasons. I like the way Sookie stands head to head against people NOT her own size, but if she gets all cocky and spoiled over it I hate her. I'm annoyed that she went back to Bill, it's an Urban Fantasy for god's sakes, she should be on her third guy by now! Interesting about her blood, though. It felt REALLY WEIRD to see Bill in the sunlight.

    "Apparently" Franklin is dead, but the show probably just wants us to think that. They already explicitly stated that you turn into ..."this stuff" if you die as a vampire. I imagine Franklin inflating back up like a balloon and then preceeding to slaughter the nearest were to regain his strength. Crazier than ever? And maybe catious of Tara, with an illusion of power about her.

    Why is Lorena gone?! Ah, I guess all good things must come to an end. Her acting was amazing.

    Lafayette's supposed to be dead, so really, anything could happen. Also there was ominous music playing while the Nurse was warning him, so I'm looking forward to it. Forgot to mention the sexy sexiness that is their RELATIONSHIP. Woo wee.

    I loved the King's rant about "authority". It was very epic. The King is awesome.

    I wonder if Eric is going to stick around and flaunt his murder of Talbot to the king, or escape. Either way, he has to have some sort of leverage over the king (blackmail?) or it will just turn into a revenge game for the rest of time.

    Why doesn't Jason have anything special about him except stupidity and a blind need for excitement? Is he a bastard child? He should get to dance in Sookie World too! Well, I am looking forward to seeing how he gets his ass beat by the crazy psuedo-weres, though I doubt it will humble him any.

    Anyone notice anything blatantly sexual about how Jessica dominated that were? She's still a "baby", but she's definitely coming into her power nicely (even though her maker is a pussy).

    Is it Sunday yet?

    One thing that really, really bothers me is that they keep saying that werewolfs are dangerous to vampires, and when they are juiced up on V they could be "challenging" even to someone as strong as Eric... but so far all i've seen is that they can't kill a vampire unless the vamp was outnumbered by like 20-1 or more.

    Also, when Bill was teaching Jessica to fight he said she was too slow because the Werewolfs are faster... i call complete bullshit on that.

    All in all, werewolfs are fucking weaksauce.

    Rant over! :P

    You're totally right. And how come half the time vampire blood makes you high as hell, and the other half it just heals you? (And the other half it doesn't do anything at all)

    I'm just going to call total bullshit on consistency, or maybe vamp blood is just a placebo.....

    Yes, I was definitely seeing werewolves as mere dogs to vamps by the end of episode 8. That way, you know they can be very dangerous if they go crazy and hurt/kill you while your guard is down (or you don't know how to own them), but you're still perfectly capable of defending yourself.

    Agreed, the weres haven't been portrayed as anything resembling a threat to vamps in non ambush situations. As you pointed out Baby Jessica, while wounded, still manage to take out that were at the end and didn't look particularly worse for the wear.

    Sookie's BS with her "I can mind rape you any time I want and there's nothing wrong with it" mentality was refreshing as it was so blatant and indefensibly amoral. Sookie's utter lack of respect for the rights or desires of others is one of my biggest gripes about her character. That said I appreciate when it is presented in such a way that it has real and negative consequences on her relationships with people. Having it depicted in universe as a character flaw with consequences instead of a character trait treated as independent from the overall story makes it much more tolerable for me.

    If you had mind reading powers and know your brother/sister is up to no good, would you read his/her mind so you can try and help him/her?

    Bonus: Your brother/sister is retarded.

    In your scenario you have presupposed something that I don't believe applies to the case presented in the show. To my knowledge Sookie didn't have any inkling of anything odd going on with Jason until she picked up on his want for her to not find something out (probably since she doesn't care about him except when it suits her). Even so, Jason is an adult, admittedly a stupid one, and he doesn't have to tell her anything about her life he doesn't want to. While it would be all well and good if she tried to coax information out of him verbally, using her powers to steal it from his mind is no more acceptable than breaking into his house to read his mail.

    I don't think Sookie has a problem with this sort of thing because from her perspective there's no such thing as privacy (for anyone but herself) simply because she has the ability to bypass all mental security with little to no effort. To her it has probably always seemed normal and maybe even right that she should know every secret everyone who's ever met her has simply because she CAN know every secret everyone who has ever met her has. IIRC she even admitted in the first season that she blocked peoples thoughts out mostly for her own benefit than because she felt bad about spying on peoples thoughts. She's is morally equivalent to a person who would steal whatever struck their fancy if they had a magic key that could open any lock.
