True Blood 2.08

Godric: Aiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeee!!!! BEST. THING. EVER. (is absolutely NOT allowed to sacrifice himself to save vampires from suicide bombers)

Eric's love for Godric: :D (Sookie ships 'em! Woot!) Eric kind of mutually PWNed this episode--I feel like Eric + Godric = greater than the sum of their parts!

Tara: :((((((((( NOT HAPPY. Cannibalism-enduced domestic/sexual violence very rapey. NOT HAPPY.

Jessica: Oh, darling! My heart bleeds for you! Most moving part of story all season and beautifully played (also I heart the writing that allowed that to be a problem).

Godric: You know... other than totally PWNing the whole show... I do have one question: what the fuck was he doing at the Fellowship all that time? Treating it as a zen-retreat? o.O Writing seemed sloppy (Church!dude seemed to be on good terms with him but then he was all 'will not negotiate'?): suspect this comes direct from books?

Sam: Bored. Don't care.

Lafayette: They need to give you a plot, dude!

Jason: Rocking back into form: hooray! Loved the cathartic rage against being taken in by cult. Loved 'let her go, fuckwad!'

Bill: Also rocking back into form after boring!Maker let him go. TOO hilarious in his growliness and Bill/Jason hug hysterical.

Boring!Maker I am oddly sad to see you go. Combined with Bill you bring the boring, but on your own you intrigue me and frankly I feel like your plot raises some legit. issues about Sookie's relationship with Bill that were somewhat lost thanks to the Boring you brought with you. *conflicted*

As you can see, it was an episode that provoked some violent extremes of emotion in me.

Godric better not die. :( Eric alone = more boring. :(

Godric fangirls REPRESENT!!

And Eric was finally, finally interesting (and the wee bit hot) to me this week. I actually even liked his chemistry with Sookie for a change.

Bill/Sookie still bore me. And I think the Maryann plot is dragging on without much change for far too long.

You're baaaaaack! *hugs* I missed you!

Maryann is dragging waaaaaaay too much. I basically don't give a shit about anything happening in Bon Temps right now--I just want it over with so we can move on. And I hate that it sucked my favourite character (Tara) into its vortex of boring...

but on the other hand: NEW FAVOURITE CHARACTER: GODRIC!!!!!

If he dies there will be blood.

Hey girl! *HUGS!*

Sorry I've been AWOL. I don't have a lot to say about TB this season for some reason!! I've been watching and maybe not paying attention as well as I could have been...a lot's been jammed into each episode but it wasn't till this week that I really that same "YEAH!" that happened frequently in S1.

I agree that the Bon Temps stuff has been freaky (and repetitive) and not all that interesting, yet I'm also excited that now everyone will be going home from Dallas and finding out what the heck is going on (I hope).

Someone had posted somewhere that they thought maybe Godric has a death wish. I could see that! Hope not though. (And I'm guessing that guy's bomb has to malfunction...because Sookie's right there in the mix of it all. Unless Eric like shields her/saves her somehow while Bill's outside with Boring!Maker.)

Yes! Sookie has to kick their asses out of her house! :D

I think Godric is ripe to be a martyr. I think Godric will super-speed him out of harm's way? Or possibly talk him down with his awesome prophet-like skills. I prefer the latter!
