True Blood season 4 ep 6

[shapinglight]

I was hoping to watch another episode of Game of Thrones today, but I've run out of time and now I have to wait another week. :(

Oh well, I did manage to see yesterday's True Blood. Spoilers behind cut.



Blimey, this episode was - well, episodic. So much was going on, and though a lot of it is sort of connected, it was so bitty that it didn't seem like it. As usual, the parts of it that weren't connected at all - all the Tommy/Sam stuff in particular - was a complete waste of time. At this stage, I don't care what happens to either of them, which is a shame, because I used to like Sam.

The Arlene/Terry stuff doesn't seem to be connected to the witch plot after all, though it does involve black magic. Which is a shame too, because I like Arlene and Terry (or Terry anyway), and I'd rather whatever is happening to them could be resolved when Marnie is defeated, which I assume she will be, although after what happened in the flashback in this episode, we should probably be on her side.

Can't help being fond of Eric, Pam and Jessica, though, and sort of fond of Bill (as long as he stays away from Sookie, which he clearly is only going to do until the end of this season), and don't want Marnie to kill any of them. Of the three of them (I don't really count Bill, as I'm sure he won't die), the one I'm most worried about is Pam. I can't believe that attacking Tara is going to end well for her.

Amnesia!Eric continues to be cute as cute - even Bill thinks so- and I did rather like the end, because I was sure after Bill interrupted Eric and Sookie at the beginning of the episode that Alan Ball had decided they should never actually have sex, that it would all be just tease until Eric gets his memory back and Sookie falls out of love with him again. Also, I'm glad Sookie and Jason spent some time together at last, and that Jason isn't going to be a were panther, because that makes it more likely we've seen the back of Crystal for good.

:crosses fingers:

A-and I don't seem to have a lot else to say. It was fun.

God I hope so. On the other hand, if that's the case why did we have to suffer through watching all of that sturm and drang.

And I'm thinking that Baby Mikey isn't evil at all, just the doll who was cursed by the black lady.

I'm pretty sure you're right about Baby Mikey. And I wonder about the mysterious African American lady. I'm sure we'll be learning more about her pretty soon.

I don't know why all the sturm und drang if Crystal and the Hotshot people are just being written out, but to be honest I'll be so glad to see the back of them that I just don't care.

I totally agree with you here. I've never liked Tommy at all, I tend to fast forward thru his stuff. I really liked Sam at the beginning of the show, but lately not so much.

This week was fun, I'm enjoying amnesia!Eric too! But part of me is afraid that once he gets his memory back, he's going to be so freaked that people saw him like that, that he'll be uber-evil!Eric for a while to compensate.

I confess I'm a Bill/Sookie shipper though (have been since the first ep) although I do think it's good that they've broken up... for a while. I hope they get back together eventually. Sometimes I feel like the only fan who *likes* Bill, lol.

[shapinglight]

Oh, I like Bill. I just find him boring around Sookie. I don't have any huge preference 'shipping wise for TB, though. I know Eric/Sookie isn't going to last. It's a this season deal only. So I'm just making the most of it.

I'm pretty sure that Bill and Sookie will end up together, because Alan Ball has pretty much said so.

[theladylucilla.livejournal.com]

I got sucked into TB (pun intended, lol) at the beginning because of Bill/Sookie, but I do have to admit they were getting boring in S3. And King Bill this season is fun -- although I wonder how much longer he'll be king since he just defied the Vampire Authority by not giving Eric the True Death.

But I'm glad Alan Ball says B/S will probably end up back together at the end.

This is true, though of course they didn't demand it. It was him that wanted it. Eric wasn't really dangerous and he knew it.

Sneaky Bill.

ETA: I saw you posted a Dany/Jorah fic. I'll read it at some point, but I'm not quite sure when it will be.

[theladylucilla.livejournal.com]

I forgot it was Bill who asked to execute Eric. Still, not doing it might have repercussions for Bill....

I saw you posted a Dany/Jorah fic. I'll read it at some point, but I'm not quite sure when it will be.

No worries, the post isn't going anywhere.

And I'm already working on another D/J fic. :)

Yay!

I just terribly afraid now that Pam will succeed in killing Tara's girlfriend. The last thing Tara needs is more guilt and trauma, you know? At this rate, the poor girl is going to be a basket case for life.

[shapinglight]

Yes, that worries me too, to the point where I'll be quite cross with Alan Ball if it happens. Tara already has one dead lover. Two would just be sadistic.
