shapinglightJust finished watching the final two episodes of True Blood season 2 and...
Spoilers behind cut
...I am sooo glad to see the last of Maryann. God, she was boring, and the last but one episode was the worst of the lot. The best bits of the ep were Sam taking Arlene's kids to Fangtasia and poor old Bill stuck playing Yahtzee with Queen Sophie Ann. Oh, and I liked the Jason/Andy team-up, but even the best bit of that was in the final episode, with Jason explaining how hard he has to work to get all that pussy. "I work out like a m***erf**ker and watch a lot of porn and stuff." Of course you do, Jason.
:pats his poor empty little head:
Actually, Lafayette's vision of Eric in Tara's mum's dress was pretty disturbing too. Heh!
Anyway, once they finally got shot of Maryann in the final episode, things looked up straightaway, with the lovely Bill/Jessica scene (bittersweet, considering she and Hoyt are on the outs :sob: and Bill doesn't know she's off murdering truckers while his back is turned. Kids today, eh?) Also, this episode confirmed me as a Bill/Sookie 'shipper - not to the exclusion of everyone else, but at base. It's odd. In some ways, they are like Bangel, but in other ways poor old Bill is very much stuck in the beta male position to Eric, like Spike was with Angel, so it's not as simple as Bill/Sookie being like Bangel and Eric/Sookie being like Spuffy. Anyway, I thought Bill's proposal was very sweet, even though you could see it was doomed to go down in flames.
Ultimately, I don't know if season 2 could be said to be a better story overall than season 1. Parts were better - the Godric/Fellowship of the Sun plotline - but parts dragged the way the serial killer story did in season 1. However, it continued to develop existing characters and introduced more, most of whom were very enjoyable indeed. Loved it (mostly).
I've also watched all the webisodes and chortled loudly over Jason praying to 'that lion from Narnia', and I've watched the promos and am hoping Tara won't have to spend the whole season being victimised again (it didn't look good for her in the bits they showed) and that Lafayette gets plenty to do. One thing's for sure, though, it'll probably be lots of fun.
