True Blood Episode 9

Life Matters

This episode seemed all about revenge, Eric's revenge for his sister's death, vampire's revenge for their capture and testing, and lastly Bill's revenge from Lilith. Full of pain and heart ache as we watched Terry's funeral, his friends and family shared great memories. I can't believe that next week is the final episode!! 

Eric's Revenge

Fully cocked with Warlow's blood coursing through him, Eric is dead set on serving the cold dish of revenge for his sister, Nora's horrible death. As my boyfriend was watching I had to explain to him what was going on, I told him that after the death of his sister, he's now taking a little excursion through crazy town. Eric, the Viking King sets his sights on the vamp camp and makes easy work of killing anyone and everyone that gets in his way. He is 'armed' with everything he needs to gain access. He then sets free the trapped vampires and they continue the killing spree as they feed and kill off the scientists and people that were involved with their sick testing. When Eric frees the lady vampires in gen pop, he finds Jason and heals him. Jason helps him navigate through the vamp camp with more ease. As they are making their way through a bloody hallway full of victims laying in their karma ridden waste, we see Sarah Newlin who cowardly hid under dead bodies and escapes.

Bill and Sookie have had a horrible season, they continue to fight because of Bill's insensitivity and his new-found inhumane comments and demands. He wants to take Warlow, even though he is not conscious enough for their quest. Sookie yells at him that Eric has more of Warlow's blood, for Bill to go and get Eric to help him and leave her and Warlow alone. Warlow tells Sookie to use her light and she gives Bill a flying exit out of her realm. Sook leaves Warlow to attend Terry's funeral.

Saying Good-bye

The only people missing from Terry's funeral weren't there because they were busy storming the vamp camp. Alcide was there and offered his shoulder to a grieving Sookie. I liked how they had flashbacks when Andy, Sam, and Sookie spoke about the deceased. Mainly with his struggle recovering from returning from war. Sookie's memory was how much Terry really did fall in love with Arlene from the beginning. Sookie also revealed to the town that she's telepathic, for those that didn't already know.

One thing is for sure - we won't have to worry about Steve Newlin making an appearance, snitching, or destroying anything ever again - Eric made sure of that. Bill had made his way to the white circular room where the vamps that were refusing the Hep V infected Tru Blood were awaiting to meet their true death via sun light. Bill was able to find them first and let them practically drain him, hence they could now revel in the sun and Sarah Newlin's attempt to crank open the ceiling to kill them off failed. She did get to witness her ex-husbands true death as he proclaimed his love for Jason Stackhouse though, it was pretty funny. Jason chased down the sick and twisted Sarah Newlin with malice, but he has a honest heart and could not end her life - he let her go (unfortunately). The vampires escaped and were drunk with Bill's blood rejoicing in the ability to feel the light. Jessica remembered Bill and went back for him, her and her new guy saved Bill from Lilith's naked, blood soaked women taking him. 

The episode ended with Pam stopped, realized that Eric was not around, she scanned the scene and their eyes locked. Having known each other for such a long time, no words were needed to communicate. Pam knew Eric was leaving, heartbroken she tried telling him not to go, but the last shot was of him shooting up into the air - gone. Eric can't go! I'll be so mad if he left. I hope it is for a good reason and not just for self loathing or anything. In the books I love him and Sookie together. Warlow has grown on me - but as of right now - I still want to believe they could be together. What do you think??? I still can't believe next Sunday is the finale - seems way too soon.

True Blood Episode 8

Dead Meat

Eric, with his sister Nora's warm blood fresh upon him, lashes out at Bill. In retaliation Bill tries to explain to Eric that he had done everything he could do. But, the grieving Eric reminds him that he was suppose to bring Warlow to Nora, and he failed to do so. Bill informs the Viking King that Warlow is with Sookie. What I didn't like was the anger Eric had toward "Bill's precious Sookie", I must have missed something along the way, because I thought Eric felt differently toward Sookie. I really hope this doesn't change how he feels about her! I really love the relationship in the books between Sookie and Eric.

Alcide is confronted by his pack, his she-bitch Rikki having just shown him his lie, challenges him. She doesn't believe Alcide can show her up. It is the first time - ever - that I actually enjoyed watching this huge man beat the crap out of a woman, but Rikki is a nasty were-bitch and is nothing to Alcide's size or strength. Alcide walks away from the defeated Rikki. Sam arrives at Merlotte's and Alcide informs him that Nicole and her mother are safe inside of his home, that his pack had taken them. Sam and Alcide bury the hatchet, they both picked up on a smell, it is a bit of a mystery. As Nicole and her mother are leaving Sam asks her to stay with him. There is some tension that Sookie breaks up. Sam tells her how Nicole is pregnant. I liked how Nicole's mom calls Sam "silver fox".

Jason, being claimed by Victoria, a perceived powerful vampire among the general population, who claimed Jason, starts to understand the gravity of his situation. Victoria explains to Jason that he will be hers for eternity. I feel really bad for Jason, his mission was to help Jessica (so far, he only helped her get laid by James, her new vampire friend). Now, he is in the grasp of a powerful vampire. Also, at the vamp camp, Pam and Jessica catch up in the hallway and Pam is now with the general population. Jessica had warned James, in who turn warns Steve Newlin not to drink the contaminated Tru Blood. Sarah gets wind of this and is capable of getting it out of her former husband. Meanwhile,

the Japanese businesswoman arrives highly upset and discovers that her Tru Blood product is being tampered with. Sarah is unsuccessful in defusing the situation and it only escalates, as the Japanese businesswoman tries to escape Sarah catches up to her and brutally murders her, to which she proclaims "thank you Jesus".

Eric's mission - as he's searching for Warlow at the graveyard - he encounters Andy's half fae daughter Adeline with Holly's son's. Eric glamours the boys, while doing so Adeline escapes - after coming inches of loosing her life before at the hands of a vampire (Jessica). Eric catches up to her and drinks from her. She survives though and her father Andy finds her running down the road and comforts her. I think Eric is trying to get as much fae blood so that he too can walk during the day and start his war against the vamp camp and those responsible for Nora's death.

Warlow gives Sookie an ultimatum - for his help in rescuing the

"Who could have done this?"

vampires trapped at vamp camp, he wants her to be his. He purposes to her with the fact that he's waited for her for 6,000 years, and how he couldn't bare to wait any longer to start eternity with her, especially since they have 'been together' already. When Sookie leaves Warlow, to try to process everything, she doesn't see that Eric was in proximity and attempts to locate Warlow. Sookie attempts to talk with Bill, hoping to find some shred of the old Bill left. She is disappointed to find that he in't concerned about her at all. Mortified, she tells Bill off, since he needs her help and time is getting pretty desperate. She sulks off to find someone else to confide in. This is when she interrupts Sam at the bar. But, again she's disappointed - she has always thought of her and Sam having a special relationship, now isn't the right time though. Her and Sam do not depart on good terms. Desperate she calls Jason to leave him a message about Terry's funeral and how she hopes to see him there.

"Eric"  Oh - snap!!

Sookie is intertwined through out the entire episode, the weight of her decision is inevitable. The most heart breaking scene is when she goes to the graveyard and tells her parents off for what they were trying to do to her, and she states that she doesn't want to spend eternity laying next to them either. Now we know her decision... she goes home to prepare... The episode ends with Bill and Sookie going to retrieve Warlow for their crusade to the vamp camp to save their friends, when they find him he has been attacked by another vampire, could be near true death.

True Blood Episode 7

In The Evening

So, in this episode our close knit group of vamps are networking that Hep V is in the Tru Blood and not to drink the blood. Pam being the smart cookie that she is, informs them to let the rest of the vampires drink, so the wardens wouldn't be on to what they know. Eric escapes the vamp camp with Nora and takes her to Bill. Alcide makes a critical decision that changes his path in the pack. Plus, another great character tragically dies.

Pam initiates and manipulates sex with the therapist to gain access into general population. Meanwhile Sarah tells Jason about the Governor, so he no longer has the leverage he thought he had. She wounds him and throws him in with the general population of vampires (who are starving). But, the mysterious vamp who claims him; "he's mine"....

Alcide starts to get his head back on his shoulders. He returns to his pack having decided to spare Sam and Nicole. He tells his pack that he killed them and not to bother with them anymore. However, some she-bitches call Alcide out; they have captured Nicole and her mother (who had arrived to take Nicole home). They know their pack leader lied now... honestly, I want to see this she-bitch of a character die with as much ferociousness that she spews out.

Eric is able to escape the encampment, with the help of his baby vamp, the deceased Governor's
daughter. They make it to Bill's house where Eric makes his plea with Bill to help her. Bill's only solution is for her to consume some of his blood, or rather Lilith's blood. However, this doesn't work Eric's desperate hope to save her. Her veins are very dark, she seems to be in tremendous pain. Eric and Nora reminisce about how they first met, at the King's request, Eric went to save Nora from her inevitable death from the plague. As Nora draws closer to meeting her true death, Eric's holds her in his arms as she melts into a heaping mess of vampire goo.

True Blood Episode 6

Don't You Feel Me

My apologies that I have slacked off on the True Blood updates (not that anyone is reading). I was enjoying some time away for a much needed vacation. The first thing on my list when I returned home was to get caught up on the episodes though. When I had left off Sookie was being drowned by a possessed Lafayette and Eric and Pam were being pinned against each other in some twisted AVL picnic in the park. The most upsetting though is Terry's desperate plea to an associate that agrees to kill him.

The episode begins right where it left off, with Sookie being held under water. Come to find out, when Sookie was younger her father tried to kill her to stop Warlow. Lafayette, possessed by Sookie's murderous father, is now holding her under water and she is seconds from death when Warlow swoops in and saves her. Sookie instructs Warlow to use his light to vanquish her father from Lafayette, she then proclaims that her father is to leave her life forever (there is more profanity - but you get the point). This has to cut like a knife through Sookie, is there any man in her life that she can fully trust?

I had a hard time breathing during the intense scene between Eric and Pam. I wasn't quite sure what was going to happen. Things kept running through my head like "they've been together too long to kill each other now"... but mostly just "they can't kill each other!" So, it was a breath of relief when they teamed up to attack, killing LAV (League Against Vampires) personnel. Plus - I hope that Steve Newlin enjoyed his 10 seconds in the spotlight helping the AVL plan this little picnic in the park for Eric and Pam, now that Eric has seen that he is involved, I can only hope that he'll catch up to the snitch and give him what he deserves.

After Warlow saved Sookie, Bill begins to summon Warlow back, through great pains. However, Sookie decides to transport them to a different realm. It almost looks like a fae light realm. Here they talk about how Warlow can sense something is coming, they also discuss his past a little. Warlow warns Sookie that she is special and that he doesn't want to hurt her, he instructs her to tie him up.

Bill discovers Jessica's gone, fearing his vision is coming true, where the vampires that matter to him meet the sun "It's happenin'" Bill says with worried and anxious emotion. In seeking Lilith's advice, he glamours the basement scientist to put him in a coma. The bloodstained naked women appear to take him to Lilith.  Bill wants answers and Lilith answers in riddles, he gets frustrated and they both clash with faults. Lilith is pissed with Bill accusing her of all this being her fault, she tells him that it is up to him to fix things, and not to seek her out for answers again.

Jason wants to do right by Jessica, especially since his one-night-stand (actually twice) Sarah Newlin busted Jessica and sent her into the depths of the vamp camp. Now, Jason is enrolling with the forces to get inside the camp in an attempt to help get Jessica out. I don't think he knows at this point that Tara is in there as well. While working up the ranks quickly (with the extensive vampire knowledge he has) he comes face-to-face with the religious whore Sarah herself. She is quickly acquiring the taste of blood, not literally, but she has a deep passion to kill all vampires for what they have taken from her (first her sister, then her husband, and soon even more). I think they both vow no mercy, pretty much. 

Sam has to make hard decisions about Emma and Nicole. Alcide catches up to Sam, through the help of his philandering father. I'm so disappointed in this Alcide this season. He is one of those individuals who when given a little power, lets it get to his head, or in his case he's letting his over rampant testosterone govern. I hope Alcide looks back on his quibble with Sam and can fix their relationship. Meanwhile, Sam hands over Emma to Martha, her grandmother and he instructs her to never let Emma around the pack again. I hate seeing Sam have to suffer so much. He seems to loose everyone he gets close with, destined to be alone I guess - I hope not. Nicole is cute and all, but they don't seem to mesh well. Alcide tells Sam that he is dead to him and tells him that he won't be there to protect him from his pack. He practically banishes him from his town he lives in - which is BS! I hope Sam shifts into something that can kick Alcide's ass!

Andy & his fae daughter, who finally gets a name: Adeline Bellefleur (and a name for each of her sisters who are now presumed dead). Meanwhile Terry visits Lafayette and gives him the key to a lock box. This freaks Lafayette out and he calls Arlene, so continues the freaking out. She consults in Holly and they revert to using a vampire to glamour Terry to forget what haunts him (why didn't they think of this before!) Unfortunately, the bliss won't last long.

Since the Governor didn't get his revenge upon the picnic in the park session with Pam, when they were suppose to fight, but defended themselves instead. The Governor again gets information from Steve Newlin, about Nora. Eric is caged, and they wheel Nora in, who is strapped down, to face Eric. The Governor has her injected with a new weapon, Hepatitis V. Eric tries through great strain to get her help. He summons his baby vamp to help him bust out to get Nora the help he's desperately seeking for his sister. Getting her out of the vamp camp he also discovers the contamination of Tru Blood that has the Hep V in it. 

How the episode ends...
Sookie telling Warlow she's a danger whore
I just hope they used protection!! LOL

Character Who We Lost

Terry Bellefleur ~ You will be missed!
I'm not going to lie - I cried like a baby :(

The Governor - rot in hell you rat bastard :)

This was a great scene, super-Bill arrives at the secure, well guarded Governor's mansion. He then uses his new abilities against the armed security guards to kill them all. He approaches the Governor and strikes out at him, decapitating him and leaving his beheading out on display. Bill wanted knowledge of the white circular room where vampires meet the sun, but the Governor either didn't know or wasn't going to give the information - either way - he's gone now.

True Blood Episode 5

F___ the Pain Away

The History of Warlow

Ben/Warlow

This episode goes further into Warlow, where he came from, and his history with Lilith. What we learned was that Warlow wants Sookie to procreate and continue their lineage. Warlow was turned by Lilith and told him he will save the vampire kind. Warlow did massacre Niall's village, but it was his village too. We get to see Niall as a young child, briefly, but it ties the relationships together. Bill can command Warlow, since he drank Lilith's blood and working through him. We see that Warlow sent Lilith to the true death (he was only opening her shade to let the morning light shine in for her) lol. I think the most important thing we learn here is that Warlow's contract with Sookie's family is because he wants to continue their blood, by impregnating Sookie. But, I think he wants to protect and care for her, she is what he has been waiting for.

The Fate of Fae

In an attempt to go back to the beginning to find answers, Sookie enlists the talents of Lafayette, who can communicate with the deceased. What Sookie learns is painful, her father tried to dispose of her when she was a child. Since Warlow went to her parents, telling them of his contract for her, they were scared and didn't want their child to experience this. So, her father loaded her in the trunk of the car and drove off. While they are conjuring the Stackhouse spirits, Sookie's dad enters Lafayette and it all goes down hill from there. The closing scene of the episode is Lafayette (possessed by Sookie's dad) trying to drown her.

A Maker and His Progeny

Eric sacrificing himself had me on the edge. Having so many of the characters we love in this encampment is freaking me out, especially since Bill had that vision of all of them burning. Pam, Jessica, Tara, and Eric are now all in this horrid place. One of my favorite lines and scens is when Pam is in the psychological eval and she says "Wait - is this therapy?" She is one of my favorite characters. I was afriad that this would happen. Because Eric turned Willa, now the Governor is getting enjoyment of pinning Eric against Pam. You could see the surprise on Eric's face when the Governor tells Eric that Willa was turned into the camp too. When Eric proclaims to give him something to kill, you know he's picturing killing the Governor himself. I knew Pam would be standing there, before it was revealed. This was the outcome that I was afraid of. Knowing that one of the characters die, I am going to be highly upset if it's Pam. Will Eric do what he has to do to save the them all?
