Dirt McGirt

With so much drama in the BTP (Bon Temps Parish) I hardly know where to start, but based on my title I think you know what scene really hit me hard this week.

They say fools rush in, and even I was a bit skeptical at how fast Eric moved to turn Willa, but as he so eloquently put it, he is over a thousand years old and it's not like he does this a lot. Eric has only made two vampires in all his time, if that is any indication as to how dire he thinks the state of things have gotten. @leighcourt made a great point in her TVF review this week (TY again for covering for me), couldn't Eric have thrown some turbo hips at her just once? I guess he wanted to return her to her father as close to the way he took her, if you don't count that whole undead thing now. Still, it would have been nice. Either way the whole scene was quite amazing if you ask me and overall a great showing by Eric this week.
                   
                    

Not a surprise to see Willa freak out on her pops like that. It is a shame though as I think he was starting to see the light. I'm pretty sure, just before there was a knock at the door, Sarah Newlin was going to bring up the idea of she and the governor getting married. Politically they would make some duo, but the whole shooting her future step daughter may have put the kybosh on that idea. Still waiting for her to go knocking on Jason's door.

Jason may have been reluctant before this week to take her up on any sexual advance, but after his little manscaping nightmare, he will most likely be looking to confirm his heterosexuality, so Sarah may be in luck.

Vampire blood certainly seemed to get rid of Jason's headaches but is one of the side effects weird food cravings? He may have been dreaming like Freddy Mercury, but he was eating like a crazy pregnant woman. That said, if eating a diet of baking soda, yellow mustard and eggs will gives you a body like his, count me in. J Stack looked like Hannibal for King on that doorway.

***Note Jason checking out his bicep a la Patrick Bateman.

 

As for the shaving scene did you notice how upon waking up, Jason sat up and peeked panic stricken underneath the covers to see if another part of him was up as well?

Jason did well to rebound and reassert his manhood as he strapped the badge back on and laid down the law on that kwiki mart clerk.

 



As @Laffabrown commented last week, Sam is a sucker for a pretty woman of color and he added another beauty to his list of exotic partners this week.

I'm sure being able to shift into a horse didn't hurt his chances either. Which begs the question, can he just shift certain body parts and not others if he wants? Because that would be amazing. Sam's luck with women would make a lot more sense if it came to be known he was giving them the Catherine the Great experience. For you non history buffs.




Perhaps the biggest disappointment this season has been Alcide. I don't think we can blame the V anymore. He is just power drunk. Looks like next week he is going to try to blame his dad for pushing the V on him, but hey man, the choice was yours. Killing those kids was just wrong.

And my girl Rikki has also plummeted down my fan scale.

The other innocents attacked this week of course were Andy's kids.

Stealing a police car, buying Nattie Light and a carton of Kools is not what any father wants his daughters doing, but they didn't deserve what happened to them.

 
Still got mad love for Jessica though. She knew what she did was wrong and she tried to warn them to back up off her.

I hope Bill can save them with some of his blood, because I was really enjoying seeing Andy as the concerned parent.

 

Bill is trying to find a cure to the vampire populations problem, and you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet, but the four fae girls dying would be some sacrifice. Bill is not all bad though I think it's safe to say. The bigger question is whether or not Warlow or Benlow as @Leighcourt has named him, is really all bad either. He is that blend of light and dark. Sort of a vampire version of Anniken Skywalker, he is struggling with the darkness inside him. I think his early murders of Niall's parents were in part because he was a baby vampire and had that thirst. Jessica reminded us just how hard it is to resist that fairy blood that is like, as Jason put it, catnip to vampers. And Benlow could have killed Niall, but instead banished him to that other realm, in a sense showing him some mercy right?

 

*Did it strike anyone else as odd, that Niall didn't know who Lilith was, when he confronted Nora early on?

 

No interest whatsoever in the Terry Bellefleur/Patrick murder storyline. This needs to just go away. People get away with killing folks on this show all the time, why should he be different.

 

So safe to say we are going to say goodbye to a major character if not two by the end of the season. I think the conversation Pam and Tara had just prior to Pam's capture was very telling. Tara will no doubt try to save her maker and in the process either sacrifice her life for Pam or the two will die together.

That's all I got, now it's your turn to...
