Episode 40 and counting… "I’m
Alive and On Fire"
This week’s episode continues to have Eric being a “nice”
guy but also somewhat delusional after draining and killing Sookie’s
fairy-godmother. She enlists the help of
Alcide to find him after he runs off.
They locate him swimming in a lake during the day just before he begins
to catch some serious burns from the sun.
There is more chemistry caught on screen between Sookie and Alcide,
including Sookie staring him up and down when he begins to undress to shift
into a wolf. You can also tell there’s
going to be some tension between him and his girlfriend due to his interaction
with our main character.
A brief exchange between Bill and Sookie shows there’s still
something there between them after he tries to search her home for his Sheriff,
Eric. He also discovers the woman he’s
been boning, Portia Bellefleur, is actually his great-great-great-great
granddaughter. Ewww. Lafayette, Jesus and Tara return to Marnie
for help of restoring Eric’s memory. She
reluctantly agrees to help after she has a rather vivid dream about the witch
who she’s been channeling. During an
attempt to cast the spell needed to bring Eric back to his badass ways, she
gets taken over again and dishes out some pretty nasty magic Pam’s
direction. I hope they don’t mess with
Pam too much this season. She’s the only
thing we have left now that Eric is a mindless pansy.
Jason finally manages to escape after he convinces a girl
whom he was supposed to impregnate to help him.
Something I found pretty funny was a line he said after he yelled at one
of the women to get off of him and she began to sob. “I don’t know why you’re crying, I’m the one
getting raped”. During his attempt to
get as far away from the were-panther clan as possible, he kills Felton and
warns Crystal to stay away from him. She
seems pretty confident despite his threats that he will return to her after the
next full moon. He is picked up by Hoyt
and Jessica after he collapses on the side of a road.
Arlene and Terry get a fright at the hands of their young
son. The little tike seems to write the
words “Baby Not Yours” on the wall of their apartment. Hard to believe a baby was able to put
together a string of words nonetheless write them in perfect spelling but this
is Bon Temps after all. Tommy returns to
his mother only to discover that he was tricked into coming home so he could
dog fight again for his parents. Last
time we saw him, his father had a pretty sturdy grip around his neck with a
chain. Meanwhile Maxine is feverishly
looking for him back home, even harassing Sam about his brothers disappearance. Sam is surprised to find out that his new
love interest, Luna, has a daughter and pretty jealous werewolf ex-boyfriend.
I’m think I am the most interested in finding out how the
direction they take the Sookie-Alcide-Eric-Bill rectangle story. I know I spoke about it before but it just
seems like the part of the show that has the most possibilities. I personally think that Sookie and Alcide are
the best match but I guess we will indeed find out. Maybe she’ll sample them all before making
her final decision. Having Jason possibly
turn into a were-panther will seriously no doubt complicate his life. At least we know his sister will always take
him in.
The Pam/Marnie-Witch
scene yielded some of the better special effects I’ve seen so far in the True Blood series. Hopefully Pam will able to heal her wilted
face, I like her. I have a feeling that this
ancient incest thing between Bill and Portia won’t stop them from letting their
inter-connecting parts meet. This
judging from the lack of utter disgust from Portia after hearing the news that
she’s been sexing her great-great-great-great grandfather. Ewww.
Until next week, go forth my friends and do bad things.
