True Blood Season 2: Episode 8 – “Timebomb”

bill-compton-sookie-stackhouse-season-2Sookie after being saved by Godric is surprised when Eric turns up in place of Bill, who is still restrained by Lorena.On Eric’s arrival, Godric requests that Eric save Sookie without harming a human. The Fellowship of the Sun goes into complete lock down as women and children are escorted from the chapel. With some amusing acting on Eric’s part, he tries to convince a small number of Fellowship members that he too is a meek member of their group and has been asked to guard the door. Unfortunately he is not as successful as he hoped.

Sam receives a phone call from Merlotte’s only to find lying in the fridge the heartless, two timing Daphne (who’s expiration date ran out just hours before). Seconds later the sheriffs turn up after receiving an anonymous tip off and arrest Sam on suspicion of murder. Andy’s eye witness account of Sam’s innocence is extremely unhelpful.

Jessica and Hoyt share their romantic first time only to be interrupted by Bill who sends them home. Jessica overly embarrassed that she was just caught losing her virginity soon finds out that as Vampires heal – she will have many more opportunities to lose her virginity.

In an (not so) unpredictable twist of events, Maryann influences Tara and Eggs to procreate on the floor of the lounge room after eating her Hunters Soufflé. Maryann looks on satisfied that she has made people fornicate yet again – one would think that she would be tired of sex by now, as most of the viewers are.

At the Vampire Cocktail party, Jason pays his respect to Godric and on confrontation with Eric is cleared of all his misdemeanors. Bill says goodbye to Lorena for good after she is put in her place by Godric. All seems to be going well, until a mysterious stranger turns up to crash the party.
Top 5 of Timebomb

  1. Godric’s man crush he seems to have for Jason Stackhouse. Things could get interesting there, or ugly pretty quick.
  2. Lorena being beaten repeatedly over the head with a flat screen TV. Something that a lot of viewers had been waiting to occur for a while.
  3. Jason waking up to reality – welcome back Mr. Stackhouse, just less man whoring please.
  4. Any scene with Jessica and Hoytt. They have been stealing the show lately.
  5. Godric displaying his interesting values on human Vampire co-inhabitance. It is interesting to see a vampire of such age growing into a level headed and reasonable creature, when typically in novels such as Anne Rice’s Vampire chronicles – the older the Vampire the more predator and primitive.

[Editor’s Notes: sticking my two cents in here as usual]

  1. Sookie and Lorena catfight.  While not the smartest thing Sookie has ever done it’s about darn time she fought for Bill instead of always expecting him to apologize for having a life before meeting her.
  2. Jason hugging BillJason has been seeking a father figure throughout the show, first Eddie, then Rev. Steve Newlin and now Bill.  It’s rather hysterical that Bill has replaced his ‘lost’ children in such a bizzaro world way.  He missed all the sweetness of young children and went right to the terrible teens!
  3. Eric and Jason discussing his past activities.. Ryan plays Jason so wide open it’s incredible.  Of course, one wonders if Eric isn’t also caching points in his pursuit of Sookie.
  4. Eric playing the dumb hick human.. OMG.. I almost peed my pants (am I allowed to say that here?)
  5. Jessica and Hoyt.  Thank all the gods of TV land (Alan Ball) for these two or this season would be too intense to watch.  Although I feel so terrible for Jessica.. [Deborah Ann Woll and Jim Parack are truly remarkable!] Really, isn’t this a case for Dr. Ludwig???

Most YUCK scene:  Tara and Eggs eating Daphne‘s heart then becoming viscoius, nasty, snasty, sado and masochistic… In general just way too much crotch kicking in this episode and there’s something about seeing Tara struck that made me really sad.

Small Talk Scene to watch: Jason hitting on that vampire girl.. he just can’t help himself!

True Blood Season Two: Shake and Fingerpop

Bill and Sookie head to Dallas dragging along Jessica to carry out Eric’s mission only to be stopped at the airport. Sookie, stepping off the plane in a stunning yellow sundress, encounters a kidnapping attempt by a not so smooth limo driver. Turns out, not only Eric but also the Light of Day has a plan for Sookie.

Jason Stackhouse in True Blood

At the Light of Day Institute, Jason falls for a practical joke, where he walks in to find all his cabin mates killed by a Vampire. Jason ends up on top when the Newlins chose him for a higher calling.

Bon Temps celebrates Tara’s birthday with yet another summertime Bacchanalian when Maryann throws a bash that would make the great God Pan blush. Once again viewers are assaulted with grotesque gyrating geriatric genitals as all the guests (whom Tara doesn’t seem to know) fall under Maryann’s spell – yet again.

Sam postpones his departure from town to deliver a present from Tara’s mother. On turning up to Tara’s birthday party, Sam gets heavy with Daphne suggesting that there may be a future for them both in up coming episodes. This interaction suggests a more prominent story line for Daphne.

Lafayette finds himself back on Eric’s radar after escaping Fangtasia with a gunshot wound. Eric supplies Lafayette with his blood healing Lafayette in a semi homo-erotic scene. Lafayette may now owe Eric, time will see.

Top 5 of “Shake and Fingerpop”

5. Roommate“One thing you can count on … God will make sure evil gets punished!”

Jason“Then explain Europe!”

4. Maryann’s less than healthy obsession with Tara. She seems to want Tara and Eggs consummate their physical relationship for some undisclosed reason, and when Tara moves in with Sookie, Maryann turns up throwing a party and regaining control of the situation.

3. The sexualization of Vampire teeth

Jessica: I can’t help it if my teeth come out when I’m turned on. (She then hides her teeth remembering that they are showing.)

2. Vampire Porn on the Video Demand. With titles like “His First Fang Bang”, product placements on True Blood are helping with the believability of not only the characters but the True Blood Universe.

1. Sookie finding another telepathically inclined human, by accident.
