Next Up On The Main Stage...

Great Godric's ghost, what an episode that was!!!

"In The Beginning" had to be the wildest ride of the season thus far, what with Russell crushing vampire heads...

and Jason shooting them...

For those of you who felt True Blood's guru, like Sookie, had been a little off his game lately, I have to think tonight restored your faith in Alan Ball.

I really enjoyed seeing the bond begin to form between Tara and Pam, even if Pam showed reluctance to let Tara into her heart.

I never thought Tara was that terrible a bartender, but she did look pretty skilled on that pole.

Loved how she didn't back down one bit when her mom came calling to guilt trip her.

Speaking of scared parents, I had forgotten that Sookie's mother was scared of her daughter's power, but I still feel like Sookie is fooling herself if she thinks life as a normal human will make everything alright. I know he didn't go to medical school or fairy school or nothing, but I'm pretty sure Jason will set his sister straight.

What will come of Eric's sister, though? What do you think Godric meant for him to do? Certainly not talk the way he did to her this week, even if Eric's daggers were some of the best of the season.

I haven't seen a group of vampires that unruly since Lost Boys.

 Maybe the recent events in Colorado have me on edge, but did they really need to show prune face feeding on that child?

Other than that part, I could not applaud the return of Sir Russell enough.

Coming in at a close second to him was Alcide and his sparring session with Rikki.
Photobucket
As if the two of them rolling around in the dirt wasn't enough, Alcide's line to Martha about her son not having a grave - because they all ate him - floored me.

Two of my favorite scenes this week were Arlene watching her wedding video and Jason and Sookie's heart-to-heart when he brought her breakfast in bed. It's always good to see the softer side of these characters to remind us they have feelings and real lives invested in these story lines and aren't just pawns to be ushered around by supernaturals.
Pretty sure Bud is the Dragon in charge of the hate group in Obama masks. Did you see how he looked behind Andy as if to see if there were any more cops with him and the jig was up? He will no doubt go down as will Hoyt in many people's opinion. At least Bud got to enjoy some time with the wife out of town.

Now if you don't mind the wife's out of town, the hot tubs just right and I got a male enhancement oil I'm anxious to try out.

I would be remiss if I did not mention Sam's helping Andy yet again and using his shifter nose to help sniff out the perps.
He was a second away from doing the butt drag.

Rev Steve was close to humping Russell's leg all episode long. My guess is he will do something crazy to "earn his stripes" in the eyes of his new BVF.

I'm right here Darlin...WTF!

And last but not least for those of us you called the below revelation...

Like Andy knocking on Sheriff Bud's door, this episode caught me at a bad time, as I was battling flu-like symptoms Sunday night and most of Monday at work, but I stuck it out for you all and for the blood. That said, I am going to leave it to you all to share your thoughts about the above mentions, as well as Hoyt's new gang and what your take on Lilith and her weird nether regions.

  1. Wait, so I am exhausted as crap right now but I just need to say one thing before I go to sleep. Eric giving Bill a piggyback ride almost made me fall off the couch laughing. I loved it. Such a small moment, but it was perfection. Okay wayyyy more to comment on tmw. Night all, Jell D feel better!!

  2. Alright so...in my humblest of opinions i wasnt as blown away at this Ep as Jell was, but with that said i have to say that this Recap was the best of the season BY FAR....have been dying laughing for the last five minutes!....(ps, that Jonah Gif one of my favorite scenes in that movies!)

    so i guess that we have settled the debate as to who is more powerful, russel or the members of the authority (roman) and alas i guess that we (I) was very wrong abt roman being dead. I literally still cant believe it! RIP Vampire stabler, you and your perfect product placement will be sorely missed. Is it me, or are the Vamp b's Nora, and Salamone wacked out of their gords? I mean, who is going to stand up to this band of wackadoo's?....im guessing that is why Goderic came back to lead Eric back to the righteous path? question is; will bill go with him or are we about to see Eric become the lone true hero (i'm in)

    LOVE LOVE LOVE the lost boys reference! would it be an recap at all iwe didnt have some kinda 80's movie reference and while this one not much of a stretch it is genius none the less...i LOVE the vamps basically going to war with the humans, question is, who is going to step in and stop them?

    No question that Jess and Tara are respectivly (MAN DO I HATE
    TARA'S MOM, CAN WE KILL HER OFF PLS)....and i LOVE how jason is fed up w/ all this sht and now just blowing b's brains out (lil wayne reference, tks for making it rain) w/ his other gun, can someone get this guy sme powers pls?!?!?!

    It is curious as to what is going to come of Eric and Nora or Eric and EVERYONE for that matter because by my count he is the second oldest Vamp alive at this point andthe only thing that could stop thsi Army of fangers from destorying the world!...

    Anyone else LOVE that Lilith was brown?...JS

    SICK CALL with Bud being the dragon! love that, also think that there is a good chance that he will get his sht all messed up and if nothing else will see the end of hoyt finally, hopefully by the hands of yessica because the time has come.

    With that said; i need to shout out these gifs;

    Clarice!?!?!? -loves!

    you KNEW that the dog ass dragging on the carpet was going to get me, i literally spit water aty the screen! (have to think that was a shout to me w/ carlton doing the same right next to him (none taken)

    "and i said washington DC---"BINGO" cant go wrong with that

    ur a peach jell.

  3. TY much as always Cam for the kind words. They are what motivate me each week to giddy up and do this thang. And yes I had a feeling Scooter doing the butt paddle was going to bust you up. Carlton GIF I have had for some time now and seemed like it fit. Leigh Ct. I'm with you on the piggy back ride. I almost included the GIF of Bella holding onto Edward C's back like a little spider monkey and or the "I'm on drugs!" scene from Almost Famous. I'm gonna sit back and let the others chime in on what are some very good questions posed by LaffaBrizzown.

  5. Another great episode and another amazing recap. Thanks Jell. Russell had me locked in and laughing this whole episode. My favorite part was his entrance to see Bill and Eric after he was captured and they show their fangs. Russell "relax, put your fangs away. I just wanted to make an entrance". classic. He immediately shows everyone who is in charge when he decapitates a memeber of the authority because he didnt want to hear what he was saying. I have to agree with Laffa here. Who can defeat him? He's not going to fall for the banana in the tailpipe again with Sookie letting him think he can be a daywalker. I think we are going to see the real Laffa come in with some kind of magic to help Eric and maybe Bill? I think Bill is kind of into the authority and what they are offering. We'll have to see what Eric does and how he "saves his sister" for papa Godric.

    Jason shooting Jessica in the head because she started to feed on him was a great moment in their relationship and vampire/human relations. Not only was he standing up and saying I dont care how fast/hot/deadly/hot in a little red riding hood get up.. you are, you will not feed on me in anger and against my will. A great moment for him. Will he find the vampire that killed his parents? Will he find more cover-up's from vampire killings? Will he find that college B from Jessica's "mansion" who he drove home a few episodes back? All questions that I am hoping will be answered in the weeks to come.

    Really quick, because I know it's a sht plotline. Why is the smoke monster mocking them now? Was that not ridiculous? Please end that soon.

    Great call on Bud being the Dragon. I am looking forward to watching that unfold. I hope the hot tub wasnt full because he's going to have a little bit of a flood issue after she gets in.

    And yes Laffa, I am also a fan of Lilith.

  7. Do you think Eric saves Nora or is she a goner?I think Nora will end up stepping in front of a wooden bullet or something to save Eric and you will have that classic scene where she apologizes to Eric for losing her way just as she dies. Then again she just might go splat.

  8. Also in our weekly round table discussion Leigh and I do for TV Fanatic she posed a very interesting quandry. Was Lilith real or just the effecstasy of the vampire ecstacy? When Eric was talking to Godric he looked up at Nora who seemed to be staring at where Lilith had been standing but she was not there. Did the appearance of Godric open Eric’s eyes to what was going on and bring him back to reality? Like a phone call from you grandmother on your birthday after you just did three whip-its in a row?

  9. 1.) i'm leaning towards lilith being real...i mean yes they were def trippin but i think thats not the last we see of those beauitful brown hedgies breathing that hot air into fools

    2.) Eric is going to show nora the way by either twisting it out of her or killing her, there is no other way (unless it both)

    3.)"Like a phone call from you grandmother on your birthday after you just did three whip-its in a row?"...WHAT!?!?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHH!

  10. The Authority kinda trips me out in way. Like I'm creeped out at how religious the whole thing has become. It was funny when they were tripping, I think Rev Birdcage's admiration for Russell is entertaining, but Nora and Salome scare me in the same way bible thumpers from the midwest do. It's very cultlike. If you don't join they're gonna take you out. I think Bill is going to be swayed a little, but Eric is going to hold firm and try and get out of there.

    I like seeing Jason interact with his sister. They were like the world's worst siblings for awhile. And it's true, they are all each other have. That said, he needs to twist someone and get rid of Jessica. She cheated on his best friend (who is probably gonna die) and as much as I love Jess, she's gettin reallll cocky. Chill b.

    Bud as Dragon is a great call, had no clue about that. Hate group creeps me out. Wolves are gnarls and not in a good way. Poor Alcide is just tryin to get his dick wet and all these b's are putting up roadblocks. That's some majjjj bull.

    Not even commenting on the smoke monster.
