shapinglightSo it seems LJ's back? I hope so anyway. I spent most of yesterday twiddling my thumbs because I couldn't get at a d/l of True Blood ep 5 and was feeling deprived. Anyway, watched it now.
Spoilers behind cut.
Before I say anything else, have to just squee a little.
The Mickenses are dead! Hooray! Squee! :Throws streamers:
I've rarely been so glad to see the back of characters on TV. It's just a pity Tommy didn't off himself as well. That said, the scene where he turned himself into an alligator and frightened Andy Bellefleur was funny.
Also very glad that Jason's away from Hot Shot and slightly forgive Sookie for not noticing he was missing, because it seems she did. She at least tried to contact him. However, she does need the ticking off she gets from her gran via Marnie about taking care of Jason. Somebody should (not Crystal). However, though she takes Gran's advice and runs like hell away from Marnie, Sookie is obviously going to ignore what Gran had to say about Eric. She's utterly smitten with Woobie!Eric (normally hate that word, but it applies here) and who can blame her? It's oddly touching to see a 6ft tall ex-viking crying because he had a nightmare and doesn't want to be evil like his dream is telling him he should be.
Of course, it'll all end in tears, as Gran warned (and Tara too, though as usual Sookie takes pretty much zero notice of Tara's feelings). By the time the season ends, Eric will probably have got his memory back and either not remember being Woobie!Eric or be so embarrassed by it he pretends he doesn't remember, and Sookie's heart will be a little bit broken, and then she'll go back to mooning after Bill. Annoyingly, the fact that Sookie lied to Bill in the previous episode gives Bill a teeny step onto the moral high ground, though Sookie's lie is nothing compared to the lies Bill told her.
In other words, I'm still enjoying King Bill, but only if he stays away from Sookie. This 'soul mates' stuff bores me rigid.
Elsewhere, the witch plot, which is slowly drawing in the majority of the other characters, continues to simmer along nicely, and those characters whose stories aren't connected at all- such as Sam, Tommy and Alcide continue to be boring and pointless.
And then there's Tara. It's got to the point now where I'm so desperate for her to have some happiness in her life that I really do want her to go back to New Orleans, make things up with her girlfriend and never come back. I think the only person in Bon Temps who really cares about her is Jason, because Sookie is the most useless B/F ever.
A weirdly bitty episode. And Pam needs to get better soon. Poor Pam! Also, Jason's sex dream about Jessica was hysterical, and is anyone else surprised that the Reverend Daniels seems to have meant what he said to Lettie Mae and has left his wife and married her? I know I was.
