loony_moony1. ERIC THE VIKING, HE RUNS THROUGH THE COUNTRYSIDE,
HE NEVER NEEDS A PLACE TO HIDE. :D
HOW MUCH FUN IS ASKARS HAVING WITH THIS ARC, LET ME COUNT THE WAYS. :D And hey, if you wanna deviate from Book 4!Eric's plot, let Nancy Oliver do it, because Nancy Oliver is the BAMF who wrote the Eric-Godric arc of season 2. THERE IS NOTHING I DON'T LOVE ABOUT STONED!AMNESIA!ERIC. NOTHING. I NEED 23948723482942 MORE GIFS FROM THIS EPISODE, Y'ALL.
2. That said, everything else about this episode's plot SUCKED. Okay, Lafayette didn't suck, BUT OTHERWISE. SO MUCH SUCK. At least it was written well.
3. OH GOD WE DIDN'T NEED THE MICKENS FAMILY BACK. WASN'T TOMMY ENOUGH? FFS THEY ARE ANNOYING, REDUNDANT AND USELESS. THEY ARE THE LISA AND BEN OF TRUE BLOOD.
4. Also in the realm of FFS WHY: Jason's arc. The only two things I like about it AT ALL are that a) he realizes he's being gruesomely raped (YOU CAN NEVER KNOW, WITH JASON STACKHOUSE), and b) his little speech for the poor little were-panther girl. FUCK YES, SHE DESERVES TO BE TREATED BETTER THAN THAT. And Felton's little Cousin Bad Touch moment after she went out was like FUCK NO, KILL THE MOTHERFUCKER moment for yours truly.
4.5 That said, Crystal Norris is fast becoming the villain of this season. Or at least, the red herring villain of this season. You know, like The Fellowship of the Sun was the red herring villain of season 2, and the real villain was Maryann The Annoying Maenad.
5. MONA! MONA AS CAROLINE BELLEFLEUR! FUCK YES, CASTING DEPARTMENT. First you score Fiona fucking Shaw and now MONA. :D
5.5. Oh man, that "Beel discovers he's been fucking his great great great grandduaghter" moment was really played for full awkward effect, wasn't it. NANCY OLIVER, I SEE YOU. Fucking fabulous moment, which was also playing fully into the plotline of the season, because if anyone discovers Keeng Beel has human relatives, they're discovering one of his Achilles heels (the other one being SUCKEH). And Keeng Beel really does love the crown, oh yes he does.
6. Pam = STILL FABULOUS
Also? Still the wardrobe department's Barbie.
7. That whole "Marnie is being possessed by the SAME SCARY WITCH FROM INQUISITION SPAIN" thing is kinda badass and yet kinda pathetic, you know what I mean? It's like FUCK YEAH HER SPELLS ARE CREEPY, and yet that flashback was blah as hell. And Idk, is this really all you can do with someone like Fiona Shaw? Really? Because if you're slacking, PETUNIA DURSLEY WILL CUT A BITCH. And by "bitch" I do mean Alan Ball.
8. ALCIDE, STOP MAKING THAT NOISE. :D :D :D
8.5. Holy fuck, I'm sure being on set that day was fun. FUCK YES, LET ERIC AND ALCIDE HAVE THEIR LITTLE NEKKID FIGHT. And we were SO CLOSE to getting a full frontal! SO CLOSE!
9. But Sookie, I don't WANNA go back to the dark! OH ERIC. YOU MAKE TRUE BLOOD WORTH WATCHING. :D

Date: 2011-07-19 04:02 pm (UTC)I was annoyed with the whole Mickens return plot because my daughter pointed out a major plot hole. She said "Didn't Sam turn into a fly last season at some point? Why is the kid even struggling with that chain? Why doesn't he just turn into something else and get away?" Um. Er.... I don't know. That is a good point. It's kind of impossible to contain a free form shapeshifter, even a really dumb one.
The scene by the lake was just...so very with you on #8.
We're a two gay man household, we're only human. So we were completely speechless for that entire scene. We were speechless all four times we rewound it and watched it again. And again. And again. So much naked prettiness in that scene.
I adore the post-amnesia Eric. From what I've read, his character is now much closer to what Alex Skarsgard is actually like. I'm a sucker for a guy with a wicked streak and his "guilty but still kind of defiantly happy about it" expression last week after he'd just finished chomping down Sookie's fairy godmother? I could NOT stop laughing.
So yay, more Eric please. Show-er scene! Show-er scene!
We love Pam at my household because Pam is very, very, VERY like my husband in her demeanor and general outlook on life. When the witch went after Pam, my husband was on his feet yelling "OH NO SHE DIDUNT!" He then spent the rest of the evening yelling about how if they kill Pam, he's cancelling HBO. *laugh* They can't keep Pam rotting, she's too awesome. I hope they fix her soon.
Mona! Jessica Tate! Mona! Yaaaay casting department.
We fast forwarded past most of Jason's scenes because icky and also drawn out, boring. I'm at negative "give a craps" about that plot line. More naked Eric and Alcide please, instead.

Date: 2011-07-21 10:39 pm (UTC)Agreed. The Mickens we do not need, or want, seriously WTF. I think Tommy should just pretend to be a good little doggy then rip out Jo Lee's neck when given the chance.
Also, WTF are they doing to the were-panther storyline -_-
Ahahahaha @ Bill's "LOL canon-incest" moment. Not so shiny and perfect now are ya? OMG I want Bill to stop being King SO BAD. That is the most fucked up...*mumbles angrily*
OMG Will Marnie just get possessed already? I'm sick of the drag out already and it's only episode 4.
8.5 LOL yes, I saw the forest.
