True Blood 3.04 “9 Crimes” Review

Janie Logan 97

After waiting two long weeks for our next fix, True Blood returned with plenty of good stuff to make the wait worthwhile. Several characters took quite a beating in “9 Crimes,” whether it was a physical one (Lafayette, Pam, Tara), or emotional (Sookie, Bill, Eric, Alcide). As plans continue to unfold, it’s hard to see how all of this could turn out well for anybody. I keep wondering who’s going to save them from their problems, when everybody else’s situations are just as screwed up.

Sookie is tending to Alcide’s wound from the fight at Lou Pine’s when she gets a phone call from Bill. His cold manner is jarring. He immediately admits that he just had sex with Lorena. “We were doomed from the start,” he tells Sookie. “You are no longer of concern to me. Do not try to find me. I do not wish to be found.” As soon as he hangs up the phone, however, his eyes betray him.

Having seen everything leading up to this, and the threats to Sookie’s life from werewolves, Russell, and Lorena, it’s quite obvious that Bill is purposefully trying to hurt her feelings so that she won’t want to be with him anymore. Something also seems to have snapped inside Bill. Trying to be a vampire with humanity may have brought him love, but it has also tormented him. Lorena thinks they have shared something special, but Bill puts that notion aside: “Any passion you felt was me killing my love for Sookie. It had nothing to do with you.” When she still doesn’t believe him, he just hits her, sending her out of the room and slamming the door in her face.

Sookie doesn’t know what Bill has gone through (except what she has seen in the minds of the werewolves who captured him), but she knows that the man who just said those things to her on the phone is different from the the one she fell in love with. Alcide, still heartbroken himself, is not so good at comforting Sookie in her time of distress: “No matter how well you think you know somebody, they can still turn around and kick you right in the nut sack.” Her tears get to him, though, and they share a cute moment together when he puts his arm around her: “Oh my God, you’re so warm.” “Sorry.” “No, it’s ok, I’m just not used to it.” “It’s a were thing. We run hot.” “I thought maybe you were coming down with the flu.” Alcide sleeps beside Sookie while she cries through the night, amassing a pile of used tissues.

Meanwhile, another vampire is in tune with Sookie’s emotions and finds himself thinking of her. Eric sits at Fangtasia watching Yvetta dance, but he fantasizes about Sookie finally wanting him the way he wants her–although I can’t imagine her ever saying, “I’ve got skills you can’t even dream of, cowboy.”

The next morning, Sookie is still resolved to find Bill, much to Alcide’s chagrin. “I’m not a doormat!” she insists. “I think he’s in trouble. Maybe I’m wrong, but if he can look me in the eye and tell me it’s over, then I’ll leave him here to rot.” She thinks she can find more information if they go back to the were bar for Debbie’s engagement party with Coot and his gang. She calls on Alcide’s sister, Janice (who works at the beauty salon Debbie goes to) to help her blend in.

Meanwhile, Merlotte’s has some drama of its own going on. Arlene is cranky, complaining about having too much work to do. Sam, keeping his promise to Sookie, hires Jessica as a hostess to keep her out of trouble. Then Arlene gets mad because she doesn’t want another redhead around to attract attention and split her tips. Jessica seems pleased to have something to do with her time, but she runs into a problem when a sweet boy she used to know from Bible study recognizes her. She glamours him to forget that he ever saw her (which Hoyt overhears and makes him have sad puppy eyes).

Jason looks on at Bud’s retirement party and sees Andy getting promoted to sheriff. On the other side of the bar, the current Bon Temps High School quarterback (expected to soon break Jason’s passing record) is messing around with his friends. Jason goes over and tries to share some wisdom: “10 years from now, there’s gonna be a version of you, 10 years younger, doing the same thing to you. And then who’re you gonna be?” Thinking about where he used to be, and where he’s ended up, Jason is still convinced that his life would mean something if he were a cop. He even blackmails Andy into making it happen: “I’m not doing them fake ride-alongs and filling out forms. I’m thinking there’s gotta be an easier way.” When Andy says he can’t break the rules, Jason uses his leverage with the Eggs situation, no matter what the consequences would be if people were to find out what they did: “There any rules about taking tv interviews and promotions for not shooting a killer dead, when I’m the one that’s gotta live with doing it?”

Poor Tara. Franklin forces his way into her house, tries to use her to get to Sookie, bites her, and is now holding her hostage. He might be genuinely insane, laughing about fruit and strapping a bouquet of flowers to her hands like it’s some sweet gesture. Tied up in the car taking her somewhere for a “surprise,” he explains, “My job supports my financial needs. My emotional ones…there’s so much I want to tell you. I’ve been so lonely, but now you’re mine, all that’s changed.” Their destination: Russell’s mansion.

With Bill in his service now, Russell wants to find out what Queen Sophie-Anne is up to. Bill worked for her as a “procurer” for 35 years. He sticks to his story that he was in Bon Temps by choice, “on sabbatical,” he says. The King knows he’s still hiding something about Sookie, but Bill reveals other useful information–he figured out that the Queen has been using Eric Northman to sell V in his area because of her money troubles with the IRS. Russell is pleased by the news: “Tug on the purse strings, you’ll find the lady’s heart.”

Sam thought he wanted to find his family, but now he can’t seem to get rid of them. Joe Lee and Melinda are camping out in their van in his parking lot, and Tommy has gone missing after trying to break into his safe. Sam feels for his brother, and when he finds him, he offers to let him stick around, but Tommy won’t leave his parents: “I ditch them tomorrow, they end up the gutter by the end of next week. You think I can live with that? I won’t be rid of these people until the day they die.” Sam decides to share the burden with Tommy, so gives the Mickens a place to stay until they can get on their feet, as long as they quit drinking. Oh, Sam, if only it could be that simple!

Lafayette has become attached to his fancy new car from Eric, so he sets off to sell the V. He meets with Calvin Norris in Hot Shot, but he doesn’t accept the offer. Lafayette is getting beat on by Calvin and his “brother-cousins” when Eric drops in from the sky to help change their minds. Lafayette and Eric are driving along talking business when Pam calls—the Magister is raiding Fangtasia looking for the V. The Queen set them up. Eric flies to her straight away, and finds the Magister burning her with the silver tip of his cane. Instead of turning in the Queen, Pam and Eric throw the blame on Bill. Eric asks for the opportunity to find the missing Bill and bring evidence of his blood betrayal. The Magister gives him two days, or he will use Pam to punish Eric: “They say the loss of a child is the deepest of despair.”

A few stick-on tattoos, lots of leather, and one black wig later, Sookie is ready for Lou Pine’s. Alcide reluctantly agrees to go, too, so that he can try to step his ex-girlfriend from being initiated into the vicious, V-addicted pack. Sookie is drinking shots with the same were who attacked her the previous night, when Debbie Pelt makes her charming introduction: “Who the fuck are you?!”

Russell takes Bill and Lorena out for a drink. Their limo pulls up to a strip club, and as if to make Bill prove his loyalty, the King sends him out on the hunt. Bill looks around at the various women and chooses the one with the sadness in her eyes to match his. As she says later when she’s dancing for him: “No point anyway. Loving anyone, anything. Feels good at first but always turns to crap. I know the truth about life. It’s a hell I’ll never get out of alive.” “No one does,” Bill replies.

Back at Lou Pine’s, Alcide tries to beg Debbie not to join up with this crew or other werewolves will never accept her. “I don’t need your pussy pack!” she screams. Then Russell arrives and the party begins. What follows is a creepy communion of sorts, with Russell biting into his own wrist and letting the blood pour into shot glasses. Passed around on trays, the weres take it and drink before branding Debbie with their mark. Then Coot shifts into his wolf form and starts howling. The energy in the room seems to take over, with everyone changing, even Alcide who can’t control it. His eyes turn orange and he yells at Sookie to run away. She gasps with fear, and elsewhere in Jackson, Bill senses her. He gets that familiar look of pain that Sookie is in danger, but he can’t go to her. He and the stripper climb into the limo, and Russell, Lorena, and Bill all start draining her. She was right about life, but sooner than she realized.

How did this new episode of True Blood measure up to the last three episodes?

Hello All
This is how I see it.
Bill is gone from Sookie’s life,for the present anyway.
I feel that This separation will be good for her. It will make her re-evaluate her life and whats important to her. This is what I think. I think that with Eric Or Alcide she will “grow-up” because Both Eric and Alcide will not take any stuff from her. It would be a learning experience for her to have someone put her in place. I feel that one of the reasons that Eric likes her is because she stands up to him…Shes Not afraid to speak her mind! I think for her to be with Eric He would also speak up to her…I believe this would benefit her. She has to realize that Not Every man or Supe, as the case may be, exists solely for her protection!
Now, As far as a vampire offering her protection? Neither Bill,Eric Nor Pam could be there to protect her during daylight hours..Which is Why Eric sent Alcide~~Plus, I dont think Eric is too keen on the idea of “watching her like a hawk” either
“Do yourself and me a favor,Stay Out of trouble,Miss Stackhouse!”
Eric To Sookie.
Now, I think that Alcide is best for her at this time.
Hes there to keep an eye on her,protect her,And he can move about freely during daylight hours…No coffin,no dirt, no tru blood! However,Like All Weres there Will be tiimes when he must shift and who knows how well he will be able to control those Were instincts?
Weres Are Wild,Untamed,Vicious and Nasty as Sam said in S1!
“Do Not call Me a Werewolf!” “Werewolves are smelly,nasty creatures!” “I’m NOT a Werewolf!” Sam to Soookie.
I guess the difference there is that All Werewolves Are Shapeshifters…Not All Shapeshifters Are Werewolves??

Anyway,I Would Not count out Alcide…just yet either as a love interest Or a protector!!

I know that whatever Bill is doing is to protect Sookie,But,She Doesnt Know That!
She may actually believe Bill that he doesnt love her anymore!
(Edward loved Bella More than Anything and yet he chose to lie to her in order to protect her!) Edward to Bella: “It wasnt the lie So much it was that it was So easy for You to believe it!”)
Sookie may actuallly believe that Bill is done with her for good!
Is it true? Probably Not…Will she believe it? Yes probably
Remember in S1 she was making out with Sam because she thought Bill dumped her!
I’s like to see an attraction develop further between Alcide and Sookie~~~Even though there will be trouble with his ex Debbie
and the wolf-pack will Not accept her either!

And of course, I would like to see her get closer to Eric,Too!
She may be just what he needs and vice-versa!

Bill Loves her yes but When and If he can make it back to her
Will she have moved on??
That Is the Question!

    Good take on all of this Antonio. Just in the books now, Alcide has been in and out of Sookie’s life and in the last book even told her he thought at some point they would end up together, so you are very right, don’t count him out. He has to get over his ex nightmare Debbie first and Sookie has to decide what she’s going to do with Bill and Eric too. I think all of this will come into play this season and I think we are in for a whopper of a cliffhanger too according to spoilers!!! Can’t wait.

New to the site – didnt plan on posting but here it is….
(this is *my* opinion)

After last years season finale I decided a year was a bit long without Bon Temps so I read all of the books (with exception to the most recent, just started on it) and what I have found now that season 3 has kicked back up is that the core characters are the SAME the core story is as well but the show puts them in “new situations” which is really great fun.

It seems to me that Bill’s original intentions on going to BTs for QSA will play out – how exactly Sookie will find out is still a mystery. RE and the Wolves has an entirely new twist but RE is still the same core character – it’s about power, that is why he wants to marry QSA. (the magister didnt exist but an equally horrid character does/did in the books – the magister is a great addition as is Jessica and keeping Lafayette).

To all those that j’adore Bill – my grasp is Bill didnt mean to fall for Sookie but he did so cest la vie; Sookie wants honesty and Bill is her “first love” – Bill will always care for her and always try to keep her safe, despite what his original intention may have been.

To all those that j’adore Eric – he is still the same core character too (in the books Pam is constantly worried about Eric’s feelings for Sookie because it’s a distraction that can get them killed but Pam adores Sookie too as much as Pam could – that seemed to be playing out with the “day” dream, if you noticed Pam’s look when Eric shooed Yvetta away); he normally would have no feelings for humans, yet he does. He is very stoic and honest – to a point. He will omit but not lie, in life he was honourable and in death he is the same. You do not become a thousand year old vampire tho without being shrewd and he is shrewd.

IMHO – the best way to keep everyone happy is to continue a “back and forth” between the 3 – Bill, Sookie and Eric through out the show. Sookie’s core character is very strong and she has a lot of lust to make up for in her life.
There is no reason to be overly fanatical over little things. I highly, highly recommend reading the books. They are not as sophisticated as the show, it’s only Sookie’s POV but you *do* get a great grasp on the characters – that is what made the books and what makes the show great. Those characters are well written (and now acted). Personally, I have really enjoyed the start of season 3 since I have read the books. And remember, neither Bill nor Eric are exactly evil, just flawed as any human would be. Sookie is no angel either, she too is flawed but she does try to do her best to protect those she loves and cares for.
The most important thing I can add is JUST ENJOY THE RIDE!!
Cheers
Sandy

          Thanks for the clarification! Yes, I caught that this site is about the show and not the books but they do intertwine very much!
          Plus, reading some posts it seems to me that some folks do not quite “get” the characters. I couldnt name names, and that is only MY OPINION of course but think reading them would help anyone who has a passion for the show enjoy it more. (it made me a fan, as mentioned in my above post – combo of show 1st and books)
          The characters are again, well fleshed out in the books and the actors have taken these characters to really make them their own. The casting is simply amazing when you think about it – everyone fits, even Pam who is only about 19-20 in the books but purrrrrfect in the show!
          Thanks again to everyone for a lovely welcome! I do have this on email so I’ll be back 😉 Hey it’s Saturday, only 1 more day to go….Good thing I have my Doctor Who to satisfy me tonight (oh such a dork I am).
          Cheers

    Nicely put Sandy and welcome. I have never posted before finding this site, and have found everyone to be a passionate bunch. I too have read all the books, but this is about the show as I have heard it said so many times, but it will indeed be interesting to see how this does play out. I believe Sookie will have a few Suitors, before she settles down so to speak. I have said it before and I will say it again, that is one lucky girl, I can’t wait to see where AB goes from here. Yay TB

No matter how hard I try to compartamentalize the show from the books (and I’ve tried really hard!) I guess I’m in the minority because I can’t really agree with the posters who liked this episode. My dislike was so intense that I actually felt like changing the channel. I feel so badly for Charlene. It looks like AB is just picking and choosing what he wants to keep in and then messing it up like a kid with finger paints. I never expected to see each book done exactly as to form and content, but I nearly cried. I’m not sure if I’m going to hang in there with season 3 yet. I know lots of you will just boo and hiss this entry- I’ve sorta come to expect it when someone doesn’t agree with you.

    I hope nobody responds that way to you, Lucy! One of my favorite parts of writing for this site is the sense of community when we all share our different perspectives. Granted, things can get a little out of hand occasionally, but I think that’s because this story (show & books) inspires such a passionate reaction. There are going to be episodes that we don’t connect with, but I hope you don’t feel like you have to give up on True Blood! I understand where you’re coming from with the compartmentalization problem–that’s how I feel about Harry Potter because I grew up reading the books and get upset when the films seem off. With True Blood, I watched before reading the books, so I find it easier for me to separate the 2 mediums. I can only tell you that having interviewed Charlaine a couple of times, she enjoys the show, even when they change things, because she loves the characters so much and thinks Alan Ball is a terrific writer/producer.

Bill has a dark past which is unknown. I apologise for name calling but where im from snitches end up in ditches.Eric was shocked at what Pam said but then jumped on the bandwagon and went with it. I loved to see Eric squirm in his own sexual daydreams of Sookie.All the characters have a lot on their plate to deal with oh well its life on lifes terms. AB you have an awesome series and I look forward to the next episode. I just ordered all CH Sookie Stackhouse series books so I look forward to reading them.

The acting,writing and direction were Incredible! This will probably be 1 of my favorite episodes from S3!
There are several new faces on the show this season. I like the character of Alcide and Janice and even Debbie Coot? well he’s a “hoot” ~~~hey That rhymes~~~:) It will be interesting to see All these new supes and creatures…could witches,fairies and were-panthers be far behind??
Anyway, I like Alcide’s character a Lot! He may be the “Bill” of the Were community…Who knows? Joe said in a recent interview that Alcide is Not like the Other wolves in the pack. He wants to go his Own way. Plus he’s fouled up over his residual affection for Debbie. I just love the way he wont give in to Sookie without a fight…Totally Cool!!
He punched the side of the wall violently Remember when Sookie suggested they go bak to the Were-Biker Bar?
I Loved that scene where he said to her “If I go back there they are gonna beat the shit out of Me…Again!!”
LMAO
Perhaps Alcide and his sister Janice will be some consolation for her,now?
Debbie looks like trouble with a capiital T!
I thought her exchange with Sookie was So Cool and Funny!!
LOVE Sookie in that “wild gal” get-up!!
Both Alcide and Sookie are nursing broken hearts I hope that they can get cozy and closer. I’d Want to see an attraction between them develop further Especially Now that Bill broke up with her!
I Cant Stand Franklin But I must admit hes a pretty cool intense new character on the show!
(I guess Franklin will be the “Ralph Cifaretto” on This show..The character You Love to Hate..)
I think that Eric may have feelings for Sookie He is old and he has had Much time and Godric’s help to bury his emotions!
He may be falling for Sookie and these feelings are novel for him.
Jason is dumb as a box of rocks and he is gettin on my nerves!
First he wanted to play football and garner a scholarship,Then he wanted to be “town stud” which he did quite well Then he wanted to fight the vampers and assist Rev. Newlin and his wife in vanquishing them think that This was his calling~~~stupid
NOW he wants to be a Cop??
Jason Dude pick a Career and stick with It!!
I feel badly too for Both Sam and Terry
These are good guys Youd want to have Both of them on Your side! I feel So bad for Sam! Why is it that since the show began he always seems to get the shaft!! He really does get treated “like a dog” Remember when Sookie treated him like a dog?? Oh Yeah I forgot….He WAS a dog!! LOL 🙂
I DO NOT Like Tommy Mickens!! Not 1 bit!
I look forward to seeing More Alcide,Janice,Coot,Debbie,Russell,Talbot and even Franklin!
1 thing that i would like to add….
I think that Bill seeks to protect Soookie because he Does Love her and he wants to try desperately to hold on to this semblance of his “humanity”…Whereas Eric has an ulterior motive for protecting Sookie. He killed the Were in her home Not So much to protect her but to carry out his Own revenge against these Were beasts to further his own vendetta!
This Operation Werewolf Really struck a nerve in him!!
I know that even as Bill devolves to a more feral state,He will always love Sookie The question is….Can Sookie forgive Him and would she be willing to take him back Even If she learns the truth??
If Not Alcide is there for her Believe Me She could do a Lot worse!! Alcide Heres hoping you get your night to “howl”!!

    Hi Antonio, actually I think there are 3 reasons why Eric went to Sookie’s: (1) to protect her because he was reciprocating for Godric; (2) his personal vendetta; and (3) he has feelings for Sookie and doesn’t want what happened to his loved ones (which we have yet to see) to happen to Sookie. 🙂

Honestly, people, do we have to resort to name calling??? I’m getting very turned off by the rudeness posters have been exhibiting lately. We are all passionate about this show and our favorite characters, but there is no excuse for rudeness. This is starting to turn me off to this site completely. Try to be respectful no matter who you like and how strongly you feel. This series will play out how AB wants it to play out. You may not like some things you see, but it is his version of events, not yours, CHs or anyone elses. Just my 2 cents worth.

All the way around, this was a good episode. It seems that everyone is squealing on everyone. We have Bill trading his loyalty to the King and ratting out Eric and the queen; we have Pam ratting on Bill and Eric agreeing. Honestly though, if it were your child in trouble, wouldn’t you do anything to protect that child? And vice versa, most children would do anything to protect their parent?? And, I don’t think Eric thought what Pam did was a great idea, but it was the only idea to save Pam’s life at that very moment. Pam had to buy time somehow or she more than likely would have gotten staked right then and there. Eric had just lost his maker/brother/father/son a couple of weeks earlier. Still affected by that to some degree. He didn’t want to lose his child as well. What they did was try to buy some time. This will all be sorted out later, it has to. We can only “speculate” that after Bill told Russell about the queen and Eric that the magister was called. Seems awfully coincidental but maybe the queen also had something to do with it. Who knows and there’s no sense pointing fingers when we don’t know who blew them in. This only causes bad feelings all the way around.

To be fair, Eric is not the only despicable vamp here. Bill being a procurer for 35 years and tricking/glamouring innocents to be killed for food for the royals to enjoy is despicable in my book; tearing Sookie’s heart out and then rubbing Lorena in her face is despicable; Bill having sex with Lorena whether he enjoyed it or not, despicable; coming to TB on false pretenses concerning procurement or an edict of some kind, despicable. I’ve heard over and over again that all of this is to protect Sookie, yet Bill throws Eric under the bus with Russell knowing Eric is now the only one vamp in LA who can protect her. If Eric dies, then what??? Bill cannot protect her renouncing LA and swearing fealty to Mississippi and being sheriff of area 2, that’s not his territory anymore. Sam has limited capabilities. Bill knows Russell and the weres will be coming after Sookie soon. Russell keeps threatening it and we’ve heard Russell threaten Bill as well with bringing in Sookie. If Eric is eliminated, which I know a lot of you would just love, who is there to protect Sookie? The word is obviously out about Sookie and her abilities. Other vamps would want her for her abilities. Bill doesn’t yet know about Alcide’s part in all this, but with the hybrid weres on V, how much could he do to help her??? This is Bill’s plan for protection of Sookie??? Not smart Bill, not smart at all. I’m hoping and praying that Claudine will step in to protect her if need be. She will hopefully be introduced soon.

Eric is showing more and more of his goodness and emotions every week. He stepped in to save Laf. I think Laf is starting to have a new appreciation for Eric as I think Sookie will over time.

Eric’s emotions regarding Sookie are reeking havoc with his head. The nightdream sequence was hot, but you could tell he is confused and disturbed by it, even to the point where Pam is noticing. This will be interesting to see where AB takes this.

Please do something more with the Jason storyline and Crystal soon, I am bored to death with this segment.

Sam is a good guy, but will probably get screwed again in the end by his family. The man has a heart of gold.

Arlene, tell Terry the truth about the baby. It’s only going to come back to bite you in the end.

Poor Tara, how that girl is keeping it all together is a miracle. Franklin is a psycho stalker and scares the h*ll out of me. Beyond creepy, but intriguing at the same time.

From spoilers I have seen, it seems somehow/someway Bill and Eric will help each other at the end. Only speculation based on spoilers shown though. I think we can all take a lesson from that.

    Oh Jaxx, I can see you are being ruled by your passions as I am. It is a shame that we have to put up with so much resulting animosity because some choose to use profanity.
    Although I don’t really see despicable as so bad LOL, but the words used by Melissa were very wrong.

    I would like to debate your 3rd paragraph. This is what we do here right?
    And then I will no longer comment on this epi.
    I usually enjoy your opinions, but I feel sadly that you have let the animosity around us get the best of you.

    Bill is dark and has a dark past. We all know this. But he was a procurer for SA for 35 years, doing exactly what, all that time, we don’t know, probably a bit of everything. You make it sound as if what he did to Ann he did all the time. We don’t know that.

    Was procuring Ann wrong?…yes….did he have a choice?…no. Should he have staked himself instead? I know what some of you would say to this….LOL. But I am glad he did not.

    I already posted my opinion as to why Bill was so awful to Sookie in the phone call. Was it despicable, sure. But, should he have been nice instead?? Knowing he had to keep her as far away from himself as possible? Be honest here. You should be glad he let her go, anyways, now Eric has a clear shot at her, which will happen, it is inevitable.

    Bill coming to BT was a job at the time (if this is how it plays out), he did not know Sookie and did not expect to fall in love. Should he have told her?? I have said many times YES. But I am the first to say that Bill is not perfect. And he pays for all his mistakes. And Bill does do everything to protect Sookie. Can you deny that he loves her??

    You say that Eric is the only one to protect Sookie and that what Bill did by telling the truth, puts her in danger. Why does Eric have to be the only one who can protect her? He didn’t protect her with Longshadow and he did not protect her in Dallas.

    Well, Eric did procure Alcide to protect Sookie. Sorry but Sookie is a strong and capable gal and also has the ability to protect herself as well. She would have killed the were had not Eric jumped in front of the bullet and given the were the opportunity to drink V.

    She does have abilities that we have seen, she was able to put off a maenad. Then there is Sam and Jason who would gladly help her and they are capable, paramilitary training and all!!

    Bill may have told the truth about Eric but at least it was the truth. Eric and Pam lied outright about Bill to protect themselves. Talk about being thrown under the bus and then some. They are off the hook for now but what about Bill?? I would like to think that Eric will help Bill in some way when he goes to Russell.

    Had they told the truth I am sure that the torture of Pam would have stopped, but yes they would have had to pay for their crime. Should Bill be responsible for that?? He had nothing to do with the V at all. Funny but someone who is supposed to be the procurer, don’t you think that he would be the one to procure dealers to sell the V?? If SA chose Eric instead because she feels she can trust him, well why the bug in his office. She is a nut and is the one that deserves staking.

    Bill knew well that the weres were going to come after Sookie and he gave his fealty to Russell to stop this from happening, WE all heard this. Russell said “we don’t need the girl”.

    As to Bills plan to protect Sookie, this is all he can do. Give up all he is to give her a chance. Saying he is not smart is not correct at all. It’s actually spiteful, and that’s not like you Jaxx. It surprises me.

    I look forward to next week and I look forward to talking to you again and I hope we can all post and debate in a respectful and logical manner.

    Team True Blood.

      Nia, you don’t have to apologize to me for posting dear, you can post anytime you want. Hope your family is well also.

      I’ll make this short because I have a headache from the heatwave here.

      “Was procuring Ann wrong?…yes….did he have a choice?…no. Should he have staked himself instead?”

      Of course it was wrong, but procuring for any reason can’t be good. The only reasons I can think to procure someone is food, sex, torture/sport, specific abilities to be used by vamp royalty. We have only had one example so far unless we see flashbacks. Was Bill also sent to “procure” Sookie for the queen, more than likely, for her telepathic ability I assume, not lunch (but fae blood supposedly drives vamps crazy, kind of like catnip. lol). As an aside, now that we’ve seen spoilers for the rest of most of the year, I wonder if the queen knows Sookie is part fae and has powers Hadley has told her about?? If we are meeting Hunter, the queen must know about the powers and knows Sookie has them too??? Hmmm. Interesting to ponder over.

      “You say that Eric is the only one to protect Sookie and that what Bill did by telling the truth, puts her in danger. Why does Eric have to be the only one who can protect her? He didn’t protect her with Longshadow and he did not protect her in Dallas.”

      Sookie was Bill’s in Dallas and with Longshadow. He would protect her. I’m sure Eric didn’t want his fangs pulled out that that vamp at the tribunal for overstepping territory once “mine” is declared. Plus Sookie was just any old human at that time, not the Sookie that has grown on Eric now.

      “Well, Eric did procure Alcide to protect Sookie. Sorry but Sookie is a strong and capable gal and also has the ability to protect herself as well. She would have killed the were had not Eric jumped in front of the bullet and given the were the opportunity to drink V. She does have abilities that we have seen, she was able to put off a maenad. Then there is Sam and Jason who would gladly help her and they are capable, paramilitary training and all!! ”

      Sookie has said something to the effect in S1 that Jason is selfish, egotistical and a sex hound (not exact words). I’m sure Jason wouldn’t want to babysit Sookie in between, having sex, work, and acting all macho at the bar. Jason wants what Jason wants. He would help Sookie if he were right there, but he can’t feel when she’s in trouble like a vamp can. Sam has limited abilities. He would also help if he were right there, but unless she’s working, she’s not with Sam much outside work. She could manage best she could on her own, but Alcide seemed to overpower her pretty quickly at her house struggling or not. What would she do with a a group of weres on V??? She could only shoot one at a time. Other vamps?? Franklin glamoured Tara into telling him Sookie can read minds. You know Franklin will tell Russell and any other vamps he comes across. A vamp is her best protection and with Bill in a different territory, and if Eric and/or Pam is dead or wrapped in silver or otherwise tortured, who’s left to help her? And who says Pam would help her anyway. Please Claudine, show up now.

      “Bill may have told the truth about Eric but at least it was the truth. Eric and Pam lied outright about Bill to protect themselves. Talk about being thrown under the bus and then some. They are off the hook for now but what about Bill?? I would like to think that Eric will help Bill in some way when he goes to Russell.”

      I mentioned this before. Pam and Eric lied to buy time for Pam. I think she would have gotten staked or tortured worse right then and there. I don’t think the magister would have spared her at all if they told the truth. You do what you have to do to protect yourself and your loved ones when you face an emergency situation or impending death. I’m sure some how, some way, they will all work together and Bill will be cleared at the end as they all will or we won’t have a show to debate next year. LOL.

      “If SA chose Eric instead because she feels she can trust him, well why the bug in his office. She is a nut and is the one that deserves staking.”

      I agree. The queen is a nut and should be the one staked. I think whoever she would have chosen would have been bugged. That’s just how she works.

      “Bill knew well that the weres were going to come after Sookie and he gave his fealty to Russell to stop this from happening, WE all heard this. Russell said “we don’t need the girl””

      Right, we heard Russell say that, but he also promised Lorena Sookie and then reneged on that deal too. I don’t trust any deals Russell makes with anyone. He seems to change deals as it suit him.

        Hey Jaxx hon, how you doing?? I hope you are keeping cool. Thanks for asking about the family, at least things are unchanged
        for now but its one day at a time. I also can post when stressed. Not a good thing….LoL
        I enjoy this distraction but at times even it can be too much.

        I really did not want to post more on this but since you would not mind…..
        Well it is insanely early actually obscenely early and I have not even had that first cup, but here goes with a hopefully short one. Where have we heard that before….

        ***The only reasons I can think to procure someone is food, sex, torture/sport, specific abilities to be used by vamp royalty***

        YOu have forgotten a very important point, “information”. A good procurer should also be able to procure information, any kind. I believe Franklin may be a procurer as well.
        (spoiler) If Bill was only sent to procure Sookie why did he not just bring her back to SA right away??? Thats what a procurer does right? Bill is intelligent and as we can see from the file, very thorough. He was probably sent to gather info on Sookie and when he met her…well we know the story.

        SA did say that she was “looking forward to meeting her”. I think that as Bill/Sookie fell in to “love at first sight” Bill has been delaying what he was originally sent to do. He is all about loving and protecting her now and keeping her away from that nut SA.
        But that has changed, he feels he cant love her/be with her without hurting her or causing her suffering (how intuitive and selfless of him) so he is willing to let her go to save and protect her. He is also using the only tool he has left to do that and that is his intelligence.

        Sorry, I have not had much of a chance to look at spoilers, but they sound intriguing.

        ***Sookie was Bill’s in Dallas and with Longshadow. He would protect her.I’m sure Eric didn’t want his fangs pulled out that that vamp at the tribunal for overstepping territory once “mine”is declared. ***

        But you forget that Eric said to Bill “if I want her I can simply take her”. Do you feel that Eric would give empty threats?? Me neither. Eric has displayed that he could cover up things should he wish to (the death of Eddie… “lets call it even” with jason, or “I’ll take the girl” and cover up Longshadows death for Bill. Eric has wanted Sookie since he first met her). Plus he was not asking to keep her, just use her.
        Oh and BTW, Eric did not come running/flying to Sookie when he must have felt her in danger with Maryanne. And if you say it was because he was with the queen, then the same can be said for Bill who did not run to Sookie when he felt her in danger in the were bar. He was with the king.

        ***A vamp is her best protection and with Bill in a different territory, and if Eric and/or Pam is dead or wrapped in silver or otherwise tortured, who’s left to help her***

        You said that only a vamp is cabable of protecting Sookie. I disagree, do not discount Jason and Sam so easily. Jason is trying to change, he loves Sookie and would do anything for her. So would Sam. Plus as a shifter Sam has abilities of his own. He did take down a maenad after all(with Bills help)…..thank god!

        So now my real question here is how can a vamp watch over her during the day????? Eric and Bill cannot.
        Remeber in Dallas Bill did not want Sookie to go to the church during the day cuz “none of us can help you”. Yet Eric was perfectly fine with putting her in danger. As Sookie said to him after wards:
        “you let me walk into a trap”
        And yes Eric did say he regretted it after the fact (to little to late) and said “if he had known” , then Sookie replied,
        “you did, but because it was Godric you’d risk anything”. Is this again Eric willing to give up someone for another?? Like he gave up Bill for Pam??
        I would like to see these two eventually work things out. But then where would the drama be….LOL

        ***You do what you have to do to protect yourself and your loved ones when you face an emergency situation or impending death.***

        I agree that anyone would do that. I just hope that Eric can protect Bill after this false accusation and betrayal. Bill may have what Eric wants for now but Bill deserved better no matter what their beefs may be. As to Bill giving up ERic it was the truth and Bill was using his intelligence with RE. Even though he just could have implicated Eric, Bill tried to ultimately direct it to the queen.
        Also in this we can see Bill doing anything he possibly can to also save and protect the one he loves.
        Pam and Eric gave up Bill. Bill may have given up Eric and SA but he is mostly giving up himself.

        ***I don’t trust any deals Russell makes with anyone. He seems to change deals as it suit him.***

        Ahhh, such is the ways of royalty and most authority figures. They do what ever they want that suits them and their desires. NO matter who they hurt, and whose lives or unlives they play with or extinguish.
        They give their word, make deals and then reneg on them. They abuse their power to their own ends.
        How can one fight against that???

        The only way he can.

        Well it was great sharing the wee hours with you Jaxx.
        We are also expecting a heck of a hot weekend. Thats when you really need to cozy up to a cool vamp!!!!!

        I’ll take one you take the other, then we can switch to a cool cocktail instead of our usual java.

        Enjoy the next epi, things are really heating up!!

          Nia, just a couple comments and I’ll leave you in peace (this week) LOL.

          “You have forgotten a very important point, “information”. A good procurer should also be able to procure information, any kind. I believe Franklin may be a procurer as well.
          (spoiler) If Bill was only sent to procure Sookie why did he not just bring her back to SA right away??? Thats what a procurer does right? Bill is intelligent and as we can see from the file, very thorough. He was probably sent to gather info on Sookie and when he met her…well we know the story. ”

          Information, of course, the file on Sookie. I just guessed that Hadley filled QSA in on that part of Sookie already. I think I read that Franklin is an investigator for Russell not a procurer. But I guess we’ll find out in the next episode.

          “SA did say that she was “looking forward to meeting her”. I think that as Bill/Sookie fell in to “love at first sight” Bill has been delaying what he was originally sent to do. He is all about loving and protecting her now and keeping her away from that nut SA.”

          I also think part of the reason is that the queen is curious about Bill falling in love with Sookie, but she also wants to procure Sookie for her own needs. A telepath could serve her very well (as in the books) regarding information on other kingdoms/queenships. I think there are a few different reasons, the queen wanted to meet Sookie. She is intriguing on a number of levels.

          “But you forget that Eric said to Bill “if I want her I can simply take her”. Do you feel that Eric would give empty threats?? Me neither. Eric has displayed that he could cover up things should he wish to (the death of Eddie… “lets call it even” with jason, or “I’ll take the girl” and cover up Longshadows death for Bill.

          I agree Eric wouldn’t give empty threats, but I really don’t think Eric was threatening Bill in the dangerous sense, only toying with Bill. He likes to get a reaction from Bill because he is always so serious. If he really wanted to take Sookie, he would have done it by now, but he didn’t. Even though Eric and Bill are at odds, I think Eric does respect Bill’s claim to Sookie. Does Eric flirt with her, sure, but he does respect her wishes when she turns him down.

          “You said that only a vamp is cabable of protecting Sookie. I disagree, do not discount Jason and Sam so easily. Jason is trying to change, he loves Sookie and would do anything for her. So would Sam. Plus as a shifter Sam has abilities of his own. He did take down a maenad after all(with Bills help)…..thank god!”

          Jason and Sam could help her, but they have to be with her at that moment. They can’t be with her 24/7. Jason is trying to change, but he has a job and is always out somewhere. He doesn’t see Sookie that much. Sam can protect her at the bar, which he has and will do in the future, but she doesn’t spend her off days and free time with Sam either.

          “So now my real question here is how can a vamp watch over her during the day????? Eric and Bill cannot.”

          Good question. That’s why I’m hoping Claudine comes into the picture soon. She comes when Sookie is at her most desperate need and there is no one to help her at that moment. Hopefully, we’ll meet her and the others soon.

          “Remeber in Dallas Bill did not want Sookie to go to the church during the day cuz “none of us can help you”. Yet Eric was perfectly fine with putting her in danger. As Sookie said to him after wards:
          “you let me walk into a trap”

          I would like to see these two eventually work things out. But then where would the drama be….LOL”

          Eric was blinded by his emotions for Godric and I guess that goes back to the theory that when he thought Godric had been taken for sacrifice, he was desperate and desperate times called for desperate measures. Knowing all of these risks, Sookie decided to go anyway of her own free will. Eric also thought Sookie would be safe with Hugo since he was Isabel’s, but we all know how that turned out.

          “I agree that anyone would do that. I just hope that Eric can protect Bill after this false accusation and betrayal. Bill may have what Eric wants for now but Bill deserved better no matter what their beefs may be. As to Bill giving up ERic it was the truth and Bill was using his intelligence with RE.

          Also in this we can see Bill doing anything he possibly can to also save and protect the one he loves.
          Pam and Eric gave up Bill. Bill may have given up Eric and SA but he is mostly giving up himself.”

          This is where I have faith in Eric. I think Bill and Eric will band together to take down Russell after Sookie tells them about Russell giving his blood at the were bar. This, to me, seems a much more serious offense than what the Queen ordered Eric and Pam to do. Russell has been collaborating with weres for a long, long time. The magister is just itching to torture someone and I don’t think he cares who it will be. All the vamps are affected by Russell’s dealings in some way, shape or form. It would be advantageous for them to put aside their differences and defeat a common enemy. I also think Eric, Pam, QSA and Bill will have some sort of punishment for their own individual “crimes” (if any) at the end. It would again be advantageous for them to stick together here. We’ll have to see how this one plays out.

          Looking forward to epi 5 on Sunday.

ATTENTION EVERYONE!

I’ve already gone through and read some of the vitriol in the comments on this article, and it’s just too much. Everyone who admins/mods/writes/etc for TrueBloodNet.com understands and appreciates that we all have different points of view, but this level of negativity is inappropriate and needs to stop.

Please keep it civil and don’t attack each other, the characters in True Blood, etc… It all leads to an all-out war of the words that none of us want. Instead, if you’re trying to make a point that goes beyond “I don’t like such-and-such character,” back up what you say with facts from the show that can be proven through dialogue and things everyone can see.

Again, KEEP IT CIVIL!!!

Isn’t it fun to speculate? What kind of power is Sookie welding in the final scene in the preview for season 3 episode 5? It looks like the power she used on Maryann to the thousandth power! I am a reader so of course I have read the books and Sookie had no power (other than being a telepath) in the books so this is exciting for me. AB is totally amazing; he has taken excellent books and created something that is the same yet totally different. I can tell you what happened to each character based on the books, but I am on pens and needles waiting for my weekly “True Blood” fix.

As to what her draw for the vampire community other than her telepathic abilities – well . . . all will be revealed in time. If you don’t want to wait go to the book store and buy all the books and read them. As stated above, reading the books will not ruin “True Blood” it only gives you a deeper understanding of the major characters. Since the books are more or less written in 1st person you only get Sookie’s perspective.

There is a Lot going on This season. While these developments may be hard to take or watch,I believe that This Is The Best Season thus far! Last year was good Not great but good. This season,There is a heck of a lot going on…New faces,characters,storylines and yet it keeps the suspense and mystery going. There is Much More action,danger,violence,gore
sexual content as well as tension (you can just feel it building between Sookie and Both her “suitors”) This is different territory…Someplace they and we have not been before.

George Lucas,Of Star Wars fame, spoke once about the 3 act story arc of an unfolding tale.
1: Introduce Characters…Solidify a Storyline
2: Place The Principle Characters in the Worst Possible situation With Limited Options for Escape
3: They Find a Way Out of their Dilemma and a new hero is revealed

Isnt This usually the way it goes for Most if Not All epic or unfolding stories?
Anyway,As I had said months ago, I trust AB’s vision to convey the story and the characters his way. I think that he is a brilliant man! Not to Mention that Stephen Moyer is probably one of the best dramatic actors I have seen in a long time!
He really inhabits the role of Bill Compton and makes it his own!
Of Course, All of the cast and crew are phenominally talented I think.

Apparently,As I had stated before,There is a meltdown of sorts going on here. Bill is reverting,it seems, back to a more feral,vicious vampire..Not surprising when you consider what he has lost~~Once again at the hands of Lorena And this goofy,twisted Russell Edgington. Who knows What they really want? Eric,On the other hand, has had some “human” memories triggered and it seems he must now face and deal with emotions and painful memories long since buried and forgotten,Maybe?
I dont recall seeing Eric This emotional out of control.
I wonder What triggered All of This? Was it Eric having flashbacks of this Operation Werewolf Group? Had they done something to him a loved one a family member??
Was it this new “blood bond” with Sookie? Could it be that by Sookie taking Eric’s blood it had an effect on Eric??
And,Of Course, The Ongoing question here…What is So special about Sookie? Why do So many want to aquire her? Why are so many supes drawn to her? Why does QSA want her? Could it be that she knows something that Sookie does not know about herself?
Obviously Bill is devolving into a more primal vampire state.
Anyway its a lot to think about. I’m sure,However,It will be 1 heck of a ride!

It’s hard to be overly judgmental of vampires b/c after all they are vampires. I’m sure if we delved into all 1,000 of Eric’s years he’s done horrible things too. To me, even in light of all of these bad deeds, it is not whether Bill is “bad” that turns me off about his character; it’s the fact that he portrayed himself as a completely different person to Sookie. He has sold her a fairy tale and robbed her of her own free will to decide whether she would love the real Bill (who is a combination of many things). We could discuss for days what his motivations are but in the end the result is the same: he lied about who he is and she has no clue as to who the real Bill is. And, you know, what a load to bear on Bill’s fictional shoulders: to always have to keep up appearances & be something he’s not rather just be accepted for what he really is. I think this could very well be one of the themes of the show: the anti fairy tale.

    Its far too easy to be overly judgemental of vampires!
    There were some that hated them for No Other reason that they were vampires. Sam,Arlene,Sheriff Dearborne,Andy Bellefleur..Not to mention Jason! Recall what Sheriff Dearborne said to Sookie about Bill not even being a “Real” person??
    If That wasnt just narrow-minded ignorance than what is??

      Absolutely! I think it’s a theme on TB: everyone being overly judgmental when they usually have no basis for being so b/c they themselves have done bad things. Sookie in particular sees things in black & white, good & bad… she wants the benefits of dating a vampire (can’t hear their thoughts, they’re strong, virile, etc) but can she accept the bad things when finally faced with what they are? Jason, bless his stupid heart, said it best: when you love someone you love ALL of them… will Sookie love all of Bill when she learns it all?

      RE: Eric & his daydreaming & recent show of emotions… pure speculation but I think there’s some magic going on here…

      RE: the fate of the Jackson stripper (have to distinguish from the Shreveport stripper) – I think she’ll be dead after they’ve fed on her & have sex with her. Bill was asking questions about her family to ensure that no one would care, or look for her, when she goes missing.

      RE: Eric accusing Bill of V selling… I think we see in all the characters what they’ll do to protect their loved ones. There has been quite a case made that Bill is doing all he is doing solely to protect Sookie. Is it really that different that Eric would accuse Bill of V selling to buy time for his child? We don’t even know yet what he actually intends to do. Russell said that the Magister would put QSA on trial… so there’s an actual trial, meaning evidence is needed. If Eric were to successfully frame Bill he would need to not only find him but manufacture enough evidence to convince the Magister that he (Eric) was framed by Bill. IDK, somehow I’m thinking this is not exactly his plan. He accused Bill to buy time… what he’s going to do from here I have no idea! We know from the promos that Eric ends up at Russell’s…. so that should be interesting.

I absolutely loved the episode. But I do tend to think that Sookie is gonna snap and go balistic one way or another. Eric has enough problems right now, that Sookie will be somewhere in his thoughts, but he has the Magister to deal with and Pam to try and Save, with the fact that Pam implicated Bill in the V fiasco, and did not say it actually was QSA even though the Magister was being sarcastic does not bode well for Bill. But because Eric wants Bill out of the way, it does kinda look a little convenient for Eric to put the heavy on Bill. If I know Bill, things will come out in the end, But how are they gonna save their butts and put the blame where it actually goes….. I am sure that AB has got a few surprises in store for us before we get there. Thanks.

I loved this episode. Stephen Moyer has yet again, captured the Bill character, to a T! Just look at his facial expressions, especially his eyes! They are showing the torment this poor Vamp is going through! To save Sookie and himself, he has to give in to RE. He is backed in to a corner – a catch 22 situation! He is surrounded by more powerful Vamps and his unlife is spinning out of control! He had to say that to Sookie over the phone – to turn her away. He NEVER spoke to her like that before – never swore. Sookie knew immediately that something was wrong. Yes, as Jaimie has already stated, Bill’s eyes said it all.

To get rid of Lorena and to further protect Sookie, he had to give RE info that he needed to down QSA. I know Melissa is upset in her post, but how do we know that the Magister went to Fangtasia after Bill told RE? Remember that the Magister was already suspicious and probably did the raid on his own suspicions. RE had other fish to fry with going out for dinner and attending the Were Ralley. He was probably planning a strategy to use with QSA. Also, what was Bill to do at the Stripper place? He did the only thing he could do – choose someone without family or friends and who was as sad as he was. He could have chosen anyone, but he was being “Humane” in his procuring. Yes, he heard Sookie, but again, what was he to do> Run off? The other two are quicker and stronger – they would have caught up with him and found Sookie as well!

Eric and Pam! What horrid Vamps they are to put Bill’s name out to the Magister! WE do not know if the raid was because of Bil’s info – Surely he would want to know where RE got his info from, so when Eric and Pam said it was Bill, I think the Magister would have known it was a ploy. Yet he gave Eric 2 days to find Bill, so it does snot appear he knows it was Bill who dobbed the info to RE. I found Eric and Pam dispicable in this episode – saving their own a*rses! They are also liars. Remember when Eric and Pam sent Bill off to the Magister and the snarky retorts they both gave Bill? They deserve everything they get.

Glad it was a daydream for Eric. He deserves no better. He has had everything he has wanted and got away with heaps and has downtrod many people/beings, so it is his turn to squirm and to want something desperately that I hope he will NEVER get. Sad look when he woke up from that dream – wow! My heart bleeds! Also, isn’t funny that Eric knew what it looked like inside Alcide’s bedroom? Even had the used tissues on the bed in his dream! How come? I think those 2 dreams Sookie had in Dallas were projections from Eric. He somehow could see where Sookie was and what she was wearing – this is odd unless he can somehow see what she is seeing. Soounds strange.

Love this episode and Stephen stole the show YET again! Stephen HAS to get a Emmy nod for 2011!!!

The other storylines were OK. Glad Jess has a job and Jason/Andy, well, maybe they will improve. Sam’s storyline – well. I don’t know – not that interesting to me. Now Franklin Mott – could watch him all day! Tara is a victim again – love the flowers and how Franklin taped them to her in the car!

As AB said – everyone is in some sort of trouble this season!

Go True Blood!

    Greetings Trubies,
    Jaxx, sorry but this is a triple latte and then some…..
    Excellent review Lizzie, words out of my mouth!!!!!!!!
    Here is what I thought of this epi and including some of the season so far.

    Jason, you may occasionally display qualities that place you in the ”dumber than a box of hair” category but I know that you have your big heart in the right place and you are trying to better yourself. I knew that once Andy became acting sheriff that you would try to talk him in to helping you become a cop. You have got my vote. And you may still want to believe in Santa which is alright with me, nothing wrong with something so simple and wonderful.
    You will also always be QB1 to me.
    You tell those young disrespecting upstarts!!

    Jess and Hoyt have some things to work out. He may feel now that she is cheating on him and hit on other girls at Merlottes to make her jealous. Watch out for a baby vamp scorned. I wonder what Bill l would have done if he was home when Jess brought home the trucker. I believe he would have told jess to save him then glamour him, or he would have done it himself. Too bad Bill wasn’t there. He didn’t have enough time to teach her everything. But he was working on it. Having the dead trucker in his house though could bode very bad for him.

    I hope Arlene doesnt hurt Terry. He is such a good guy who wants to be a daddy and just needs some good loving. I think Terry would have been fine raising a child that wasn’t his. She just should have told the truth. But lying seems to be the flavor of the day and cause the most drama. Well I just don’t want to see Terry any more traumatized.

    Sam may have gotten himself in deep with his new family but he is doing the right thing by helping them. We know that he would not do any less. He is such a good decent man. I think he will have his hands full trying to turn Tommy into a good young shifter, the boy just needs direction. I don’t think his parents are bad folk, his mama is cute but please someone tell his father to wash his underpants, I don’t think I can stand another look at that gray pair. LOL

    I adore Sam and I think that although he may still care for Sookie he seems to have moved on for now. He really needs a good woman. I still hope that despite the dreams (I wonder if Bill explained about the possibility of them?) that he can remain friends with Bill. Bill needs all the friends he can get.

    Tara and Franklin is a match made in H*LL. He seemed intrigued with her from the start and although he needed her at first to find out about Bill/Sookie, he now does seem to want her in a crazy almost needy and desparate way. He admitted to being lonely and he you have to admit he is definitely twisted bad boy fun.

    Eric has been really good to Lafayette. I hope it is real and just a boss being good to his top dealer. He gave him a car, saved him from the hotshot gang, and is giving him salesmanship advice. Good for Eric, if he is going to make Laffayette deal in V he has to take care of him.
    RuPaul….LMAO with that one.
    I hope that this decency to Laffayette is real and not contrived. Laffayette is definitely one of my fav characters. His fashion sense, quick tongue and wit rivals Pam.

    Eric also is also displaying a human obsession by having daydreams (during the night of course) about Sookie. How cute and a bit sad that he is so obsessed, humanly so. But poor Yvetta who has performed so hard for him (In more ways than one) and now is just tossed away. Oh well there is always Pam!! LOL

    I really give kudoes to Eric for being so concerned over Pam, his child. They do have such a close and wonderful relationship, although he should hold back his emotions and listen to her more.

    Pam and Eric have now given the ultimate lie to the magister saying that Bill is in charge of the V dealing. That was such a horrible stab in the back to Bill.

    I understand Pam was in pain and needed that pain to stop but using Bill was terrible and Eric was shocked (he didnt plan on that) at first then jumped right on the bandwagon. You could see the look on his face that he thought it a great idea.

    Shame on them for using Bill to save themselves, but I thought it may happen. They should have just come clean and told the magister that it was SA who forced them, and taken the punishment. Eric used Bills past tribunal experience, when he was defending his right to love humans, to turn it against Bill as treason to his kind. Shameful and hypocritical since Eric is now feeling that way towards a human.
    I do like Eric but never in his treatment of Bill.

    So we see Eric now has 2 days to find Bill and bring him to the magister unless of course Bill is conveniently dead. That would save them all the trouble then it is business as usual.

    Now my favorite for last, Bill !!!!!!!!!
    He was so incredible this episode (Stephen rocked, Emmy worthy), dark, tormented, feral, yet still and always protective of Sookie and trying so desparately to hold on to a shred of his humanity no matter how many try to steal it from him.

    Only such a noteworthy character could have so much evil thrown his way. Russell, Coot, Lorena, Eric, Pam, Franklin, SA, magister….every where Bill turns someone wants him or is trying to hurt him.

    His phone call to Sookie was so heartbreaking but that was the whole point (I had my hand over my heart the whole time). He needed to hurt her to save her. He broke his own heart, tore his own soul and killed his love for her to save her. He needed her to hate him so much that she would not come looking for him. He sold his soul to the devils to keep her out of danger as best as he could.

    I am so blown away by Stephens acting here. Bills feral cry of anguish, grief, and defeat at the end of the last epi, only to be replaced by this blank look and lifeless eyes while he was talking to Sookie. Losing her has drained almost everything good he has tried so hard to regain. Although he told Sookie he made love to Lorena we know he did not. He committed the act in such a horrible way hoping that Lorena would hate him and not want him but she only wants him more. “Best sex I’ve had in decades” Poor Bill. Although she enjoyed it, we know Bill did not,

    “Any passion you felt was me killing my love for Sookie”

    BTW, Bill swearing is so out of character for him, It shows he is putting his southern gent behind him. The “punch” to Lorena was so well deserved (she only seems to get turned on by violence which does not bode well for Bill). Now I do not condone violence to women at all but she is not a real woman anymore. And no matter what Bill does to her he cannot hurt her. You would think she would get the hint by now.

    Anything before and from now on that Bill will be made to do, he will do to protect Sookie. Work for Russell and do his bidding. That way he can keep her safe. As Russell said “we do not need the girl after all”.

    Bill is self admittedly a procurer and has been working for SA for 35 years. This fits in with his going to BT to find Sookie. But he told RE that he was on sabbatical, and not there on orders. Again he is protecting Sookie, not wanting to reveal anything about her or that SA wanted her (I am assuming here), because RE may be curious as to why. But Bill has not counted on Franklin finding out what Sookie is. This could be the lie that RE will find out about, and now turn against Bill.

    Bill had to give RE some information, so he gave them Eric and SA. He figured out it was SA and not just Eric alone…could this have been a way for him to kind of take some of the blame off of Eric? Then again RE was also looking for info on SA, and the IRS and the Great Revelation was brilliant on Bills part to figure this out.

    If some say that it was bad of Bill to do this remember that Bill told Eric last season to stay away from Sookie or he will inform the queen. Well Bill walked into the conversation that Lorena, Coot and RE were having about the failed attempt at abducting Sookie and heard Lorena say Eric Northman, and that he has:
    “a perverse interest in that waitress and has been watching over her”
    Bill now has no reason to hold back, so since he must have figured out that SA was also involved he told RE.

    I dont know if it was because of this info that the raid happened or something/someone else. But the magister did not believe Eric or SA from the beginning.

    Bill told RE that he has signed his own death warrant. Bill knows that this will not end good for him and that he may die so he asks for Lorenas death also, ultimately to protect Sookie. He knows that Sookie will never be safe with Lorena around.

    Bill was made to procure the stripper, but he was still showing his humanity when choosing one. He HAD to choose one. He only allowed the lap dance to talk to her. You could see on his face that he was not moved by her and not interested. I am sure that his only thoughts in that regard were of Sookie (“I am a one woman vampire”). He made sure that she had no husband, children, or family that would care. Bill was deeply moved by the strippers sad and hopeless words about love. His eyes said it all.
    My heart broke for Bill when he felt Sookie. His look of defeat that he could not go to her, if he tried, he would just lead them all to her.

    As the other two were draining the stripper, RE insisted that Bill partake. I don’t think he would have other wise. But he had to obey and I think the blood lust took over. Lorena was thrilled. I am so saddened that Bill is being made to revert back to the dark abyss that was Lorena and her ways. I hope that he can eventually rise above and be the good man again he was and was striving to be again.

    I also fear that by having Bill procure the stripper, he was the only one in the club that anyone saw, and if she dies, Bill will be the only one implicated. RE will have this as insurance over Bills head as well.

    Stephen so rocked this episode. As Lizzie said, he speaks volumes with only a simple look of his beautiful eyes.
    Only such a noteworthy character would have so much evil thrown at him and so many obstacles to overcome.
    But I fear it is only the beginning of H*ll for our southern gent.

    I believe in Bill!!!!!!

    Alan Ball, you rock!!

          My appologies to Jaxx, I wasnt going to respond anymore, but I have to, just to this. But I promise this will be the last.

          It is this type of subtley veiled attitude I have had to see, that I had mentioned earlier, fuels my ill feelings, which will stop now completely for the good of all as well as the show. I became sucked in and I am dismayed by that.

          What truly saddens me pbt, is that the one you were fixated on was the only one you thought was best. And I know you did not mean it in a good way.

          I was going to include it originally with the others because it was important to display all the depths that Bill was willing to go to kill Sookies love for him, and to let her go to save her. The look on his face and in his eyes bespoke a soul truly lost at those words.

          If you still feel the need to include that quote, by all means do.

          I was tempted at first but did not include it simply because of the language used.

          Team True Blood.

          pbt

          I agree that Bill was trying desperately to push Sookie away. And that particular quote was needed to complete the separation. I found the line “f*cking like only two vampires could” just another example of the writing on this amazing show. Yes, SM eyes were amazing during the entire conversation. Did I see a tear on the rim of his eyes or was I just seeing things?

          I enjoyed the scene. It was sadly depressing for Sookie and Bill. But perhaps some good will come of it too. I am sure they will separate briefly but will get together again.

      pbt

      You are absolutely right Jackie. Obviously posting two sites at the same time is not good multi tasking. Thanks for the correction.

I didn’t care for this episode very much. It seemed to drag and didn’t offer alot of excitement. The nightdream that Eric had of a Sookie interaction was hot. Then Sookie with the Yvetta voice was an unexpected twist followed by the most disappointed look that I’ve ever seen- esp. by Eric!

Alcide is a good character and he was the best part of that episode imo. Nice to look at but his development is going
s-l-o-w. But the storyline of Jason (jealous over a HS kid), Andy (promoted and being blackmailed), and Sam (has bad parents- lots of people do)is godawful. I hope things improve and I never thought I would say that about TB.

Wow! What a recap of the episode . That was hot that Eric was dreaming of Sookie. Bill’s an ass for snitching QSA,Pam and Eric to Russell and having Fangtasia raided. That line between Lafeyette and Eric “Lets Go RuPaul” had me LMFAO -priceless.It was cool that Eric came to Lafeyette’s defense and then his sassy vampire progeny Pam who then had to suffer because Bill is a Punk ass biotch!!!!!!!!!!The ending was f**ked up that the 3 vampires were draining that young dancer instead of Bill running to help Sookie. Im hoping Sookie gives up on Bill and has mad passinoate primal sex with Eric.

    lizzie1701

    Are you sure it was because of Bill that Fangtasia was raided? The Magister was already suspicious, you know! Also, both Pam and Eric had no qualms with dobbing Bill in – at least it was true that Eric and Pam were selling V, it was NOT TRUE that Bill was selling! They are both LIARS!

    Also, I think you need to re-watch this episode. Bill is doing EVERYTHING to protect Sookie. He could not go to her aid – he was with 2 stronger and powerful and faster Vamps. What if they followed him to Sookie?

    Re-watch and look for Bill’s facial/eye expressions and body language. I think you missed heaps.

      Bill, a snitch? That’s pretty rich considering that Eric shopped Bill to the Magister for no good reason in Season 1, brought in Lorena in Season 2 and now Pam and Eric have dropped Bill in it again. Bill was telling the truth to Russell, not lying like Pam and Eric were.
      And another thing, how could the Magister even think of believing them, when Eric is the sheriff and older and stronger than Bill? It makes no sense at all that Bill would be doing this without the knowledge and approval of Eric, and QSA?
      I think you have the wrong punk a*ssed biotch, Melissa. You are looking at the world through Eric-coloured glasses, which is your right, but that doesn’t mean some of us like your comments.

        So a lot of discussion about Eric, Bill, (and Pam, who told the Magister about Bill, which Eric found very convenient) being liars. First off: I get why they lied, they had to come up with something or it would be bye bye Pam (not to say that its fair to Bill).. Second: they all lie to benefit themselves, its in the nature of a vampire, selfsurvival. Third: Bill was the one who started with his disloyalty towards QSA and he didnt discuss it first with his Sheriff Eric, he pledged fielty to another monarch..! So, this what Semiramis says: “And another thing, how could the Magister even think of believing them, when Eric is the sheriff and older and stronger than Bill? It makes no sense at all that Bill would be doing this without the knowledge and approval of Eric, and QSA?” Since when does Bill discuss things with Eric?! They all want things to be the best for themselves including Bill .. Also you say this: “Eric shopped Bill to the Magister for no good reason in Season 1, brought in Lorena in Season 2″ It all depends on your point of view: Bill did kill a vampire in season 1 (which had to be Eric like in the books, but I have forgiven AB) so thats that reason and well Lorena in Season 2, Eric wanted, well we all know what the reason for that was 😉 Just didnt really work out… So aqain I say it depends on your point of view.. and if your an Eric or Bill girl of course 😉 …

        My final words for now about Bill: I believe that he would never Intentionally hurt Sookie and will always try to protect her, he deeply loves her, I believe that to be true.. This is torture for him… Im an Eric girl all the way, but Stephen has made me love Bill, he’s such a great actor (and person)!

        Ps. I am curious tho if/when we find out what brought Bill to Bon Temps in the first place, is he maybe lying about that from the start? ….

        Another PS.”Alan Ball says they share a love that will never die, and as much as the Eric shippers may hate it, this is the way it will be on True Blood” Never say what will happen on True Blood, bcuz you never know ;)….

        Can’t wait for the next epi! 😀

      Semiramis

      Again, I must disagree with your post as well. Logically, all vampires are serial killers. And where do you get your assertion that he enjoys it? Bill is the most tortured vampire that I can think of, and I saw no enjoyment on his face during episode 4. Also the post-mortem on HBO had a little discussion with the two women who wrote the episode, and they pointed out that Bill was careful to find the “right” victim. Of course, no one is actually the right victim, but he found the one person who had no ties to anyone, and who was already nihilistic. He is a profound, thoughtful and tormented soul, but I would definitely not call him someone who is a “serial killer,” who “enjoys” it. I agree that Sookie does not know everything about Bill, but I think eventually she will understand him and they will reunite. Alan Ball says they share a love that will never die, and as much as the Eric shippers may hate it, this is the way it will be on True Blood. Incredible episode, brilliantly acted by Moyer. Someone just hand this guy a 2011 Emmy for Best Dramatic Actor right now, I am going to write to them myself and suggest it.

        Again, and this comment has been made by myself, Ollie, and many others:

        Alan did NOT promise that the show will stick to the core of the books. He promised to stay true to the SPIRIT of the books. Alan does NOT have to follow the source material the same way that movies “based on a true story” are fictionalized versions of their base tale.

        IF Alan were to stick to the “core” of the stories, all book readers would be bored. What’s the fun of watching something when you already know the scenes by heart and they’re playing out the same way on screen?

    You do realize that Bill is not in a position to go to Sookie, right?

    He’s staying away to protect her and keep both Lorena and Russell away from her. If Bill had gone to Sookie, Russell and Lorena could have easily followed him and found her, then Sookie would probably be tortured and killed (and most likely in front of Bill to torture him some more). Bill doesn’t want that or the alternative where Russell would have Sookie turned because he knows that Sookie wants to be human, not vampire.

    I like Eric for what he is but your nasty post does nothing but fuel dislike for his character and cause animosity.
    Your name calling of Bill is unjustified, unwarranted and unwelcomed. Its shameful language and a post that is not thought out well at all.

    Eric daydreaming of Sookie was just another example of his feeble and desparate desire for her. Poor Yvetta.

    You do not even mention the disloyal backstabbing absolute lie that Eric and Pam gave to the magister. That is deserving of some colorful language but I do not and will not go there.

      Hi Nia, question based on this: “I like Eric for what he is but your nasty post does nothing but fuel dislike for his character and cause animosity” Why does it matter what other people say about a character to make you like or dislike and cause animosity? If that were the case, I should hate Eric, going on what a lot of people are saying about him…… That is (no offense) a little short sighted for me..

      I love Bill and Eric in their own unique way, (just Eric a little more) 😉

      Can’t we Bill and Eric lovers be a little more tolerant towards each other?

      Reply
        Nia

        Ashera,

        It is not short sighted at all and let me explain thoroughly.
        The idea of both Bill and Eric lovers being tolerant is an ideal that I have hoped for since I first started posting here a year and a half ago. YES, it has been that long.

        It was my first site for TB and I came here to say how much I love and enjoy the show. Bill happened to be my favorite at the time and still is. But I did and do enjoy Eric.

        I was completely shocked at the terrible posts I read about Bill, and this was just the first season. I spent most of my time defending Bill against unfair and uncalled for comments that included cursing and name calling. The short sightedness is the ones who feel the necessity to use foul language as a means of responding. That is offensive to me and many others.
        This became a habit that I and others did not care for.

        Why should I have to constantly defend when I just wanted to spread the joy I felt? I have said this before many times and I will say it again. I like Eric but the nasty comments made against Bill and many times directed against Stephen (Yes this has happened) which is completely disrespectful, made me dislike Eric. There was an injustice there that I could not abide.
        It caused a rift that has continued ever since.

        I am sure that those who like Eric feel the same when they read similar things. So I ask, as well as the moderators here, for all to put the nasty comments aside and post in a logical and respectful manner befitting the integrity of the show and based on the facts as they are presented.

        I know that the moderators here, AdoreBill and Isis have also many times in the past said the same.
        Does this answer your question?

        So lets be respectful of all the characters, actors and of course our wonderful moderators here.

          Thank you for your thorough (maybe my perception, a little snippy) reply. Everything you write makes sense to me except this: “made me dislike Eric” .. Since I’ve had/have the same problem as you (and many others), just with Eric, since the show started, well even with the books. It never made me dislike Bill. Therefore I shall never understand your point of view on that.. But no worries, since I ‘completely in reverse’ (translated in Dutch this completely makes sense ^^)understand where you’re coming from 😉

          So indeed lets be respectful of all the characters, actors, and of course our wonderful moderators here.

          Ps. In the above sentence: don’t forget us normal folk who comment/read on this great site! 😉

          Team True Blood YES!

          Snippy?? Naw, how about passionate??

          Its alright if you do not understand Ashera, it is difficult to explain, I am sure that however I do explain it you may still not get it. It is a result of my passion and emotion being assaulted.
          Godric would be disappointed. LOL

          And I am glad that you like Bill as well! As I have said and I am sure you can gather from my lengthy comment, I do like Eric, but I do occasionally dislike him for what he does based on what we are shown. Wanting also to not like him comes from posters who have tried to paint a picture that is based not on facts, which I happen to find important. Or making up things that do not exist.

          But I comment on what I see, in always a hopefully logical and honest manner.

          Perhaps if everyone felt this way we would not have a problem. What do you think??

          BTW being respectful to each other should be a given….Agreed?? LOL.

          Also, I did state in that comment that we should post in a logical and respectful manner.

          Team True Blood!

Nice recap. Let’s not write that poor depressed dancer off yet – she wasn’t dead when last seen!

    I wonder if she is Sookie’s cousin (Hadley in the books.) She was a vamp who was QSA’s lover and the mother of Sookie’s nephew, Hunter. She was a minor character in the books; wasn’t a vamp long before she met her “final death.”

      In season 2 we get to see Hadley and the actress who plays her is different – I don’t think it’s her. (She’s with QSA in season 2)

    Did you see her blood dripping out of the car door and pooling underneath the car? Massive blood loss isn’t survivable. Bill knew Russell and Lorena would kill whoever he brought so that’s why he chose someone with no family. Very sad.
