True Blood Episode 12

First off, good for Sookie for killing Renee mostly on her own. Though personally I’m thinking when you have the bad guy on the ground after whacking him in head with a shotgun, you hit him again. Also, after you just confessed to the killer that you can hear his thoughts, why the frak would you believe him when he thinks, “I need to go into the woods”.

Sam made a heroic effort to save Sookie and at the very least gave her the window she needed to save herself. I’m glad they are giving him an adversary next season in Mary Ann. Also, it should be fun to see him win Tara away from Mary Ann next season. Assuming Tara does drag him back to the Parish herself after realizing he’s gone.

Poor Lafyette, he will be sorely missed next season, but hey I called it.

Is Bill the most impotent vampire ever? Let’s look at his history. He gets captured by the Rattrays (most pathetic pairing ever) and needs to get saved by Sookie. He kills a vampire out of turn and is punished by the community. His punishment is to make a vampire, pretends he doesn’t want to and then he makes one so pathetic that Erik can’t stand to be around her. He attempts to save Sookie from the killer he knows is about the murder her and he doesn’t even think to throw a towel over his head as he lumbers like a zombie in the sunlight. Do not forget the fact that he drains Sookie’s blood every time they get intimate.

Overall, I was extremely impressed with the first season. That being said, they are going to have to do a lot of work to keep the excitement moving into the second season. Rather than killing Lafyette to set up next seasons mystery or pin another douche move on Bill, they should have killed Jason. Great idea True Blood writers, give you dumbest and least appealing character the story that is most transparent metaphor in the history of television.

Most likely I’ll post more thoughts as I think them!
