True Blood is also a show I've watched since it started. It has gotten steadily better since the beginning and is still great. Erotic and thrilling all at once, True Blood manages to please me for its 50 something minutes everytime it's on. Tonight's one was the best of the three this season so far.
It starts off where the last cliffhanger left us. Sookie and Bill are fighting over the incident with Jessica's family. Sookie attempts to explain that it wasn't her fault, that she didn't know Jessica was going to get out of the car. These retorts are of no use to Bill as he dismisses them very fast. Did Sookie honestly believe that Jessica wasn't getting out of the car? I mean, really, come on, it doesn't take an idiot to figure out that she was lying when she said that! As the show gets progressively better, Sookie progressively loses IQ points. I swear she was smarter and more likeable when we first met her.
Sookie walks out of the car. Karma for her stupidity comes in the form of what looks to be a minotaur. Well, actually, it's a maenad. I did my research. A maenad is an animal that feeds off lust and hatred. It makes three long gashes in Sookie's back and she falls to the ground because the pain is so intense. Jessica convinces Bill that he should go look for her because she won't come back to the car. Bill finds her and gives her his blood in attempt to heal her. She begins to have a seizure. Maybe it's lupus. (House, anyone?)
They rush Sookie to Fangoria. Jessica drives the car home. Eric calls a medicine doctor that says that she's seen these sort of wounds from a dragon before. The doctor pours a clear liquid on Sookie's back to boil out the poison from the claws. Meanwhile, Pam tries to resist going out in the woods to look for the monster because she's wearing her favorite high heeled shoes. Personally, I thought they were ugly and should have been lost to the mud in the woods. When she comes back, they're soiled and she has found no monster.
Sookie wakes up healed on a table in Fangoria. She can hear Ginger's thoughts which reveal that Lafayette is in the basement. Sookie lurks on her thoughts once more to find a gun which she uses to threaten Ginger to take her to him. She finds Lafayette alive, but just barely. Eric finds the two down there and works out a deal in which Sookie must go to Dallas to look for Goddrick, a lost vampire. Seems like the show is finally coming back to the books.
Jason's unimportant storyline continues at the Fellowship convention. While he's in a meeting, he remembers that he is troubled by dreams of the vampire he killed for his blood and confesses this to the female leader. She then confesses to him that she lost her sister to a vampire and pushes Jason further away from fighting for vampire rights.
Tara and Marianne continue to clash. She asks Marianne why she won't let her leave in a very subtle way, but Marianne ignores her and rolls a large and amazing joint. Maybe she gets MILF weed from Nancy Botwin (I'm just full of 'em today, aren't I?). Tensions boil over at a party in which Tara and Eggs finally kiss. Then, women start taking of their tops and acting like sluts. A topless girl comes over and gives Eggs a massage which prompts Tara to retire to her room and be mad at him. The party gets all "Eyes Wide Shut" and turns into a wild orgy. There's even a part where a fat man who I thought was a pregnant woman at first jumps into the swimming pool. Of course, anything too revealing is obscured by his belly, thank God.
Even more sex occurs when Jessica realizes that nobody is home, goes to Merlotte's, and brings home a guy of her own. When Bill and Sookie finally reach the house and start hooking up, they bump open a door and find Jessica having sex. Bill throws her against a wall. Sam takes a nude midnight swim. Daphne shows up to join him, complaining that he's to hard on her. He's about to be too hard inside her. Sorry, had to say that one. Anyway, he apologizes and she removes her shirt. All's not well when there's scars from the scratches from that monster too. There's the old True Blood twist.
