BAD MOON RISING

Always a good start!

So there seemed to be two big themes which ran throughout this week's episode, the full moon and duplicitous persona's in several shapes and forms.

Just like Marnie, Laffa got possessed by a spirit. "Hey Chavez how come they ain't killin us?" "Cause we're in the spirit world asshole they can't see us!" (Funny side note, Charlie Sheen is the only character not to take part in the peyote...pretty funny in hindsight.)
Jesus was like "I got a snake mayne!" And put it in the bag then on the floor like Jake the Snake Roberts used to do with Damien.
Did Grandpa Brujos sick the snake on Jesus so that the spirit would have no choice but to enter Laffa? Or was the spirit Tio Luca Jesus's dad who entered Laffa to help his son? Either way I liked the references to the snakes as a spiritual creature and the gateway to the spirit realm. Very Jim Morrison esque, "Ride the snake, ride the snake, To the lake, the ancient lake, baby. The snake is long, seven miles. Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold."
Very subtle, but did you notice the brand of cigarettes Tara was smoking? American Spirit.

Eric's alternate personality continued on as we saw him once again defend Sookie against a perceived intruder only to then go all submissive and apologetic to his King after learning who Bill was. Even Pam's heart felt tale of their century long run of traveling the world, fucking and laughing could not dissuade him from acting a fool. When he told her that he was no longer the vampire she knew I was just waiting for her nose to fall off as the camera held on her face. I did love when Eric had him in the choke hold and flung him against the mantle like a rag doll before he realized who he was crushing. It reminded me of when Bill tried unsuccessfully to go after Russel last year.
Andy seemed to have gotten a better hold on his V addiction and become a functioning addict who impresses wanna be witches with his Lazy-Boy chair lifting ability. (Did you catch how she said "Thank Goddess")Sam tried to intimidate Andy by threatening to turn into a Doberman ala Snoop in his "What's My Name" video. Andy was unfazed though and channeled Ben Stiller in Happy Gilmore as he countered with a threat to call animal control and have Sam put to sleep. Check out the name tag, you're in MY world now Sam!
Sam was just getting smacked on all fronts this week as Tru-Nutz's prediction for Tommy came to fruition and he discovered his Skin Walker ability and took down Luna after he shifted into his older brother. I couldn't help but think of Judge Reinhold in vice Versa when we saw Tommy's reaction to his new face in the mirror. Also despite still having his squeaky voice and walking with an anti pimp-limp it looked like he could have taken those two B's at the bar back to the supply closet and made a po-boy sandwich.
As much as I have liked her, I would be remiss if I didn't confess my disappointment when Luna unveiled her lady lumps. Tommy didn't seem to mind, but I sure was bummed. I mean let's be honest though, if faced with them in person, I'm sure I would have shown her my O-face as well.
Speaking of O-Faces I'm pretty sure when Bill skyped Nan she was in the middle of something or rather someone was in the middle of her. She kept making a face as if she was trying to hold back from showing her pleasure. The camera never went below her torso and I was sure we were going to see a female head pop up at some point but we never did. Was I mistaken or did anyone else see that too?

Jason continued to shine as he tried to keep Sook from walking in on him handcuffed to the bed. Reminded me of Officer Doofy and how he didn't like to be bothered when he was "cleaning his room." Jason seems to be tied to a bed more than anyone I've ever seen.
How funny was it when he told Sookie how he had gotten bit "and stuff" by his psycho ex-girlfriend and her weird panther crowd.
Jason: I won't ever forgive myself if I bite your head off.

Sookie: I promised to take care of you.
Jason: What did you think that meant? Change my fucking kitty litter?

Sookie: I thought witches were just in fairy tales.
Jason: Or in that goth store in the mall buying pentagram stretch pants.

Sookie: Everybody has something inside them that they can do without even trying.
Jason: Like how I'm extra good at sex and shooting?

Jason: I'm a police officer and a were-panther, back off!!!

Sure enough Jessica sensed when her Bon Temps Bo hunk felt threatened and came to his rescue. The exchange between these two was one of the best of the show's history i thought. First of all the obvious awesomeness of Jess telling him to go to a happy place as he focused on he heaving bosom.
Jason: your mom was a were-panther?!?!
Jess: No she had panic attacks.
I also really liked how she said she didn't regret being a vampire and relished her strength and speed. She recounted how the night she was turned was the scariest night of her life and wasn't about to let him go through his possible transformation alone.
Jason tugged at heart strings as he confessed to be jealous of Sookie growing up and despite having to defend her all the time and taking a beating for it often, he lamented how she got all the "special." Jess told him to just take a look at himself and question how he thought he wasn't special. Jason pushed back though saying he had enough going on inside him without her being in there too. Let me be the first to say that Jessica could be inside me anytime she wanted. Stinky pinkie away my love.
Eric also showed his softer side, and not just in the child like way when he told Bill to tell Sookie that he was made the night she found him and that he went to his true death knowing what it meant to love. I know we all want the Viking back, but that was a good exchange, even Bill was moved so much he let him go and thank goddess because we finally got the sex scene we have all been waiting for.

With Debbie running with her new pack Alcide is back in the mix completing the Sookie suitor triangle which looks to heat up in upcoming weeks.
