And we’re back! The new season of True Blood begins right where we left off. Sookie goes into the light and that’s probably the last time she will follow the light and a faerie ever again. Faeries are bad, ugly, and no bueno all around.
The writers of the show always do an excellent job of picking up the pieces but the problem is 3 months or so in Bon Temps has actually been 4 years in real life. Thank you writers for speeding up the time. However, most of the episode was devoted to seeing what happened to the other inhabitants of Bon Temps since Sookie was gone for a minute (13 months), the episode still felt a little short-sided. Possibly because this is the best summer show ever and just like any other viewer we’re just probably really excited that it’s finally back.
The good, the bad, and the questionable of the episode:
+/-/? Sookie in “Faeireland”. As mentioned before Sookie was last seen walking into the light with Claudine, her faerie God-mother. I personally liked that the faeries were bad news but I wasn’t appreciative of how ugly they were. Creepy. The Faerieland Realm was weird. It was Narnia gone totally wrong. Completely opposite to B
on Temps. It didn’t fit. Will we see the last of them? Do we want to see the last of them? I can do without it.
-Sam and Tommy. I wish that they explained more to what happened between both of them. Yes, I can see the obvious but it was still kind of weird that Tommy was all clean-cut with Hoyt’s mother of all people. Didn’t Tommy hate Hoyt because he was hot for Jessica? Strange. Hopefully in the next coming episodes the explain exactly what happened right after Sam shot Tommy. We understand the aftermath just more details are needed. It’s just strange to come in to your brother’s restaurant eating biscuits and acting like everything is cool. The elephant in the room is screaming “Hello, you just shot me in the leg!” We’ll at least he’s not dead.
- Bill. What’s his deal? So I am guessing Queen Sophie-Ann is dead? How did that go down? Are we going to play catch-up Alan Ball? I mean Sookie lost 13 months of her life? I didn’t. Bill is too shady. Too my extensive knowledge of the Sookie Stackhouse novels, he’s not around so much. And by extensive knowledge, I mean Wikipedia.
+Jason and Sookie time. I miss Jason and Sookie time. Those two need to spend more time together. When they are together the chemistry and their banter are adorable. Their time spent is always short-lived. Hopefully Jason gets out of that icebox. Only Jason would get clocked over the head in some backwards commune and be locked in an icebox. Poor Jason.
-Tara. I like her hair and she seems to have find some positive way to release her anger but Tara needs to be Jason. Just saying. I miss Tara season one with Jason. She loved him so much. I mean, yeah he killed that guy she knew for two seconds but she knew him for two seconds. People get over a lot of things quickly in Bon Temps. She can to.
+Arlene and Terry. I love them. So glad that season four will have more of a story line for them. I think 
their baby should have a play date with Harrison Morgan (Dexter’s baby).
?Pam. Did anyone else feel short-changed with Pam this evening?
+ Eric. Thank you. Every word Eris speaks isn’t wasted. Even if it’s three words at. a. time.
? Where’s Alcide? How much is he involved in the books?
Did you like this episode? Were you satisfied? I think everyone who has read the books or at least has some kind of knowledge is practically on the edge of their seat waiting for the Sookie/ Eric relationship to happen. Let’s hope it happens soon! Till next Sunday!
HBO is doing an awesome thing with HBOGO that you can now watch the next episode.
