shapinglightHad a very frustrating day yesterday, in which the only worthwhile thing I did until the late evening was to watch ep 4 of season 2 of True Blood.
Spoilers behind cut, and please no spoilers for later eps in comments.
Apart from the Maryann plot, which I'm still not that interested in (though intrigued to know what she is - a Cretan earth goddess? The Minotaur? the great god Pan?)I'm still loving this show to pieces. It's a different sort of love than the love I have for BtVS/AtS. I can't really describe what the difference is, though. Maybe one is 'home' and the other is 'the little cabin in the woods'? Heh!
The first scene of this episode was an absolute delight. This is the scene where Bill throws Hoyt out of the house and Hoyt thinks Bill's mad at him for making out with Jessica, only for Bill to insist he was trying to protect Hoyt, and then both Sookie and Jessica make fun of him (Bill, that is) while sweet, good-natured Hoyt plain refuses to believe him. The whole thing is completely hilarious because it takes a stock teen romance movie scene and turns it upside down.
That said, I think Bill was lying to himself. I think he really is beginning to feel fatherly towards Jessica, even though he finds her so annoying. I mean, he taught her to 'glamour'. That was so cute!
Can someone please tell me, though, what it was Jessica got the glamoured man to shout out loud in the vamp hotel lobby? Something rude about Jesus, I think, but though I sat through the scene twice, I couldn't make it out. Should've put the subtitles on. Why do people have to mumble?
Speaking of the vamp hotel, I loved it, right down to the 'room service'. That was so funny! Also, every Eric/Bill scene is ridiculously slashy. The one in the ladies' wear department in the store in ep 3 was the best so far, but the couch scene in this ep was pretty slashy too.
Still enjoying the Jason stuff as well, though can see he's getting sucked down a very dark path. Things are going to get nasty, aren't they?
And great to see Lafayette get his groove back.
Wish I could watch some more, but I think that's it now until next week. :(

Love it!
Deto for all things Jessica and Hoyt.
I thought Jason's plot works great that season, mainly because those fellowshipguys are such a brilliant parody on christian fundamentalism.

Yes, that was hilarious, especially when the saleslady does that sort of knowing smirk and sidles off leaving them to it.

I agree. I'm enjoying the Jason plot. It's very hard to know what's going through his head, though (if anything, which you always have to ask with Jason).
