shapinglightLJ's awfully quiet, isn't it? We really should all make a concerted effort to comment more on each other's posts, or this place is going to keel over and die.
With that said, on to the review, though I don't have an awful lot to say. Spoilers behind cut.
Oh dear! Poor Tara! I'm really quite upset about what's happened to her. Now she's lost her girlfriend - or driven her away. Plus, she's let herself be drawn into Antonia's quest for vengeance. And while I don't blame her one bit after what happened to her in season 3, not to mention the very nasty threats from Pam in this episode (lucky for Tara that Pam's camera shy at the moment), you know it can't lead anywhere good. Yes, Antonia too is perfectly justified, but we all know she's not going to be allowed to kill Bill, Eric and Jessica, and probably not Pam either (Ginger may be a compulsive screamer, but she's very loyal), and what will that mean for Tara?
My money's currently on Lafayette saving everyone, even if it's partly by accident.
Aside from the main plot, Sam's storyline continues to be annoying and pointless (I was willing him to kill Tommy and really irritated that he didn't), and I don't care about Alcide and Debbie either. Sticking in bits about them just succeeded in detracting from the vampire/witch story by diffusing the tension unnecessarily.
Anyway, it was nice to see some genuine bonding between Bill and Jessica, though I still feel I've missed too much there, and Woobie!Amnesia Eric/Sookie is rather sweet, saved from being cloying by the fact that it's so obvious it won't last beyond the season. Oh well.
:worries about Tara:
