True Blood Official Discussion: Season 3 starts Sun. June 13th!

so....why shouldnt sookie trust bill?
[/QUOTE]

Because they tell us every episode for the last 10 that....

Sookie shouldn't trust Bill. :O If they keep saying it, it must be true. Also, that fairy shit.. so annoying.

I feel like this weeks episode just spun wheels. I've loved the rest of the season, but this was the weakest episode. Nothing was really answered.. or asked.
 
[quote name='lokizz']i want to know why if you can be any animal/insect you want why always be a dog?[/QUOTE]


Dogs seem like a good go to animal since it has few natural predators and could blend in easily while still being able to defend itself/out run things. Anything exotic, like a leopard or bear would probably bring on suspicions or just get shot by some overzealous redneck. Turning into an insect might bring on a whole set of problems like being squished, eaten by a bat, shot with Raid, or flying right into a spider's web or bug zapper.
 
The only good thing to come from this past week's episode is that
Jason FINALLY told Tera that he killed Eggs
. Granted, we got no reaction beyond that, but I'm finally glad that's been revealed, and I'm interested in seeing if it has a strain on their relationship, and how intense that strain is.

Basically, the shifters (Sam's family & Crystal's family) can turn into anything, but each shifter has their "Familiar" which they prefer to turn into.

[/QUOTE]

They keep playing at it so many times and Bill keeps denying it, but in the books:

Bill was sent to Bon Temps by the Queen to seduce Sookie, he never actually loved her.
 
Whoops! I just realized I'm at least one episode behind you guys. Shouldn't have read these last few spoilers.

Wait, nevermind. You're talking about the scene where
Jessica launches dog Tommy into the woods, right? She should have punted his ass or snapped his doggy neck.
 
I don't know if this was last episode or 2 episodes ago, but I really like the exchange between Sam and his brother when he goes to quiet the noise. It seemed genuine. Especially how he said "OK...I will see you in the morning"

Did anyone else notice Bill's accent is different in the episode where he and Sookie are "cleaning up" with the tarp? It is still southern, but it sounds different. I don't think it has anything to do with the story, it just sounds different.
 
Another outstanding episode tonight if you excise the Hoyt/Jessica thread, Witch/Terry/Arlene thread and Lafayette/V Tripping thread and Drunk Sam thread.
 
Yea, another "okay" episode. Hopefully the finale makes up for it. About the ending...

If the only thing the King is attached to Eric by is his wrist, couldn't he just rip it off and run back inside? Or, he could just kill Eric and Eric would turn to goop and he'd be free to go back inside as well.

I'm guessing that in the previews, when they say that Eric & the king are "gone" they probably flew away somewhere and no one knows if they survive, (survey says, "they're both alive").

[/QUOTE] Agreed & the plan really does make no sense.

Running the "In Memorium" segment on Emmy night was a nice touch.

If the King and Eric got into a fight, how long would it take to finish the fight?

How long did it take for Godric to die in the sun?

Assuming Russell and Eric were trapped in a silver stadium with the Sun rising overhead, how long could either of them last?
 
It was OK...
I was hoping Tara would just kill herself after Jason told her the truth about Eggs. She needs to go. Also, if I were Erik I would have at least handcuffed Russell to a parking meter or something.
Dumbass.

He can't because the sun makes him weaker.

Absolutely, her character has got to be the most annoying.
 
Everybody keeps shitting on Erik's plan. You know what? It's a good plan.

Erik and Russell probably drank the same amount of fairy blood. Being younger than Russell, Erik is going to take longer to burn to death than Russell. Once Russell is toast, Pam will just break the silver handcuffs and drag her master back into the shade. If Pam was so convinced Erik was going to die, she would either be killing Bill and Sookie or freeing them.

This is absolutely correct.

Remember when Bill was trying to get to Sookie in I think Season 2? He was out in the sunlight for quite a while because he was a relatively young vampire. Russell should be smoked pretty quickly. I'm sure Godric was only in full sunlight for 10 seconds and he was toast. As for Russell getting away from Eric, I think no matter where silver is touching you, you're weakened all around significantly by it.
 
Eric cant die damn it! He is one of my fave characters in the series, whats gonna suck is that they'll pull a cliffhanger similar to what happened with Lafayette at the end of the 1st season and you wont know WTF happened to him until the following year. They need to put this show out every 5-6 months instead of a whole damn year. Oh yeah, and Eric cant die, KILL BILL!!
 
[quote name='DestroVega']there's no way they kill eric off of this show. no chance.[/QUOTE]

This. They writes are too smart to kill off one of the most popular characters. Can you imagine the ratings plummet if they did? It's the same reason they deviated from the books and had Lafayette live (a decision I'm eternally grateful for since he remains my favorite character).

fuck me, Lafayette dies in the books? Glad I've only watched the show then....he's my favorite character, too.
 
Yep. He is wormfood at the end of Book 1 instead of that voodoo woman.

I look at True Blood as an alternate universe version of the books. The basic characters are there, but they're doing different things.
 
Man, why the fuck didn't
Erik just kill Russell while he was drinking Sookie's blood? The dude was nearly standing directly behind him and could have driven a stake right through his back! I thought for sure that Bill and Erik were going to make Sookie drink the water/silver concoction before Russell had his taste of her.

The whole Hoyt/Jessica/Hoyt's mama/crazy virgin chick scenario is not going to end well for someone.
 
Eddington, Eric, and Tommy are confirmed to return for the next season. So I am assuming Eric survives, Tommy who cares, and Eddington must be coming back as a flashback or something.
 
Sooooo all I hear here are crickets in here.... No one watched the finale?? I got around to seeing it yesterday and thought it was ok. It didnt really get epic, best part was like the last 10-15 mins when
Erik got out of his concrete grave, what the fuck is Godric doing back here?!?! He is re-dead and he comes back as a ghost actually telling Erik to spare dudes life. Also sookie tossing Talbot down the drain was pretty interesting. Seems like shes getting tired of being nice and was actually enjoying seeing Eddington in pain. Also wish they would have shown more of the DBZ-sque Bill & Queen fight. Im pretty sure next season Eddington will be out of that block within the first episode, Im also interested in seeing if Sookie will get trained by the fairies so that she can Hadouken at will.
 
[quote name='chimpster1313']fuck me, Lafayette dies in the books? Glad I've only watched the show then....he's my favorite character, too.[/QUOTE]

If it helps, he's not half as interesting in the books as he is in the show. In the books he's an extremely minor character and shares very few of the same traits (if any) as his counterpart.

Well the original plan was for Eric to die and take Russell with him, but then Godric intervened and talked him out of it, so then he went with the much more interesting punishment and buried him alive in cement. As Eric said himself, he decided against killing Russell on the off-chance that he may find some sort of peace in death; this way, his suffering won't end for quite some time. I prefer this since it leaves the door open for him to come back next season, a development I greatly wanna see come to fruition.

Again, if they really wanted
Russell dead, they could have had Sookie run out to the parking lot, release Erik from teh handcuffs, cut off Russell's head, and then drag Erik back into the bar.

I was yelling at the tv during the finale, but I did chuckle during the "intervention" scene.
 
Yeah, I can't decide if this season kinda fizzled out, or if it just climaxed early. I mean, Russell's whole anchorman thing gave me the impression that they were going somewhere HUGE...but maybe they're saving that for next season. I don't know. The finale wasn't terrible, but I don't think anybody gives a crap about the strain on Bill and Sookie's relationship. It seems like we've done that 10,000 times. There were a few great lines in the episode though.
 
Yikes. I just watched the season finale and I could barely pay attention it was so boring. How the hell did Eric get out at the end? This season wasn't that good. It might have been marginally better than Season 2 but only because Franklin was great. Russell wasn't bad either but I kind of got sick of him towards the end.

He called Pam, remember when he is back at Fangtasia after visiting Sookie, Pam is picking cement out of her hair/clothes as well. This season definitely had a some awesome moments but, the finale was rather underwhelming (had great moments though). Honestly, the last episode felt more like a finale. It had a huge cliffhanger, which is one of the main parts to True Blood.

I'll definitely continue watching since Russell, Eric, Sookie, Jessica, Lafayette, Hoyt, Sam, Jason, Bill, Alcide, etc are all interesting characters plus this is how I envision vampires not that Twilight bs.

I agree with this. If it weren't for the plots that were left hanging, I'd have said this would be a good way of ending the series. Having said that, I'm looking forward to Season 4.
 
It wasn't a great finale, but it wasn't terrible either. They left a hell of a lot of cliffhangers and unanswered questions, but that only means that next season's first episode will be really exciting.
 
[quote name='shieryda']What's pissing me off about this show is that the vampires can't booze like they do in "Vampire Diaries".[/QUOTE]

I agree. Drunken vampires are probably the best idea ever (thinking of some of Spike's drunken rants back in the Buffy days). I was wondering how people felt about "Vampire Diaries". My wife got me into it, and while it doesn't have the edge True Blood does (being network TV), I like the style of it. It's also amusing how basically every other vampire show is better than the Twilight series. Not to mention that Nina Dobrev is hot as hell. I think she wins against both Kristen Stewart and Anna Paquin.
 
I was surprised that Eric wasn't more pissed about being left in the cement. Dude can stay calm and hold back in the most unbelievable situations. I expected him to beat the hell out of Bill.
 
I thought it was a lackluster finale as well.

Tara - Good riddance
Jason - Seriously? Chick isn't even a fraction of the hotness that Amy was, and you're gonna take care of a bunch of hillbillies for her?
Bill & Queen - The Matrix moves and Bill's "pounce" face were hilarious.
Tommy & Sam - Yea, off screen shot means nothing happened.
Jesus - Revealing that he's a witch, with what the next season is about, its not going to end well.
Eric - Loved his delivery of Bill's true meaning of returning to Bon Temps, and burying Russell. Thought the "ghost Godric" was lame though.
Sookie - Her vanishing to fairyland was kind of a stupid cliffhanger, its obvious that she's gonna come back from it.

Mysterious Doll - Foreshadowing for the next season? I think the cliffhanger should've been a tight shot on the doll for a few secs, it moves a bit, and then the screen goes to black.

According to the casting announcement, it looks like the next season will be about

Witches vs. Wiccans, Werewolves, Vampires & Sookie.

Truer words could not be spoken.:drool::drool::drool: I want to pause the dvr everytime she shows her face on screen. But I believe that my wife would smack me. I watch with her and we both enjoy the show. These types of shows should all be relatively accurate and consistent with each other, though. Like if a new vampire tries to eat or drink normal food or beverages, they should just start vomiting uncontrollably and screaming in pain.

And I thought the same about the doll, Bezerker. Why else would they deliberately plant it there? I bet Hoyt's mama had something to do with it. Did you actually see the doll move, though? I must have missed that.

Click to expand...

He had Sookie do it for him. The tongue-lashing she gave Bill seems to have satisfied Erik's need for vengeance.
 
Just a guess, but since Jesus is a witch, that woman who tried to help Arlene get rid of the baby I bet is wiccan.

Didn't she say that about herself already when talking to Arlene? I seem to remember that.
