shapinglightYet another quick post just to say I'm really enjoying this season.
More behind cut with spoilers.
Okay, there are a couple of storylines I'm not so invested in - Terry's and Sam's, principally - but I don't feel they've gone so disastrously off the rails with the characters in question as they did, say, with Sam and the awful Mickenses plot in seasons 3&4. I like Terry enough to watch his arc regardless, and I can see that Sam's arc, with the 'anti-supe' hate crimes gang, is going to tie up with Jason's, who is being set up, it looks like, to join this gang and take revenge on vampires for killing his parents. I only hope -since I think the character is a sweetie - that his essential good nature will triumph the way it did in season 2.
Other good stuff: I'm sad that Jessica and Tara are obviously not going to be friends, but Tara is just so prickly still that them falling out at some point was almost inevitable, even if it wasn't over Hoyt. I do still think that Tara being made a vampire is the best thing that's ever happened to that character.
Finally, I liked Sookie in this ep (her speech before she leads the way through the broken window was hilarious), felt sorry for Alcide, who usually bores me rigid, and thought, huh! Just when you think any parallels between True Blood vampires and real life have fallen by the wayside, up they spring again. Interesting.
Still loving the Bill/Eric Show. And I agree with Bill. Eric is definitely hiding something.
Finally, yay! for Bad King Russell, even if he is, clearly, very, very bad still.
