Where to start on this one?
First let me review the whole Maryann plot. I’m not sure where they’re going with this hummingbird. In the books the maenad just moves on. Here she’s just staying. What’s with Tara and Eggs just eating straight from the pot? What the hell? And how are they not going to question the blood (would there even be that much left after cooking??) Okay, I get that she makes people mad but that plot line is just getting stupid. I can’t stand to see those two doing it again either. He reminds me of a big gorilla which isn’t too becoming for a black man. Oh well. And let’s lance that mole off, mmmkay? I can’t take her seriously if that’s all I’m staring at.
A few things got me in this episode. I understand they’re branching from the book some as Godric didn’t meet the sun here. Stan is supposed to be sheriff and then king of Texas eventually but the power structure is the same, lest that bomb takes Godric out. How does a nest of vamps not sense that guy coming in? They have superior hearing and smelling and vision so they’d know if a human came in. And what’s with Jason not only being there but being all lovey with Bill? They didn’t punish Hugo or his vamp… okay fine. But she’s showing way too much emotion. Even Bill who loves Sookie is still unemotional in some sense. Vampires are supposed to be like that and she’s crying just like Lorena. Don’t turn this into a soap opera.
I think the guy that plays Steve Newlin is doing a damned good job. He plays the crazy nut perfectly. Sara does too but not nearly as good as he.
Just get me to the werewolves already. :-) I bet that’s end of this season or in the next season.
There’s a lot of things different from the books. That’s understandable, generally speaking it is an adaptation. There is a lot of material in the books and I’m not sure why they can’t stick closer to it. I know they need filler. But keeping Lafayette? Okay so he’s popular. But having him drink Eric’s blood? According to the books, no one has done that in close to a thousand years except for Sookie, so there’s big significance behind that. Offering it up to him wouldn’t have happened.
We’ll see how this goes. I’m guessing the bomb doesn’t detonate or if it does perhaps Godric is so fast he takes him out that glass door and takes the explosion and that’s how they kill him. 6 more days. Ugh.
