After reading your comments I'm thinking the Queen isn't telling Eric what she has Bill doing and the Queen isn't telling Bill what she has Eric doing. But now, it's like they both kind of know ( ... )

Well, Eric may now have an inkling that Bill is somehow working for the Queen, but I don't think Bill has any idea that Eric is selling V on behalf of the Queen.

And I'm really curious to see where they go with all this because right now it doesn't make sense. I liked the way they did it in the book better. But maybe they will surprise me.

LOL, the pessimistic side of me was like, "Don't hold your breath." Right now, to me this is just shoddy writing and bad logic. I mean, hopefully there is a rhyme and reason to everything, but right now it makes no sense that she would do this, unless she's being irrational and childish and playing it this way just because it amuses her and she can.

This show makes me say things I'd never in a million years think I would say.

Hah, I know what you mean.

Is Eric suppose to be acting like he's afraid of the Queen? That's the only thing I can get out of his subdued behaviour. It was just odd. And did he pop his fangs out to make her think that he thinks ( ... )

Oh, I probably will continue making picspams for next season, I was just expressing my happiness that I don't have to make any more for this season now that it's over (it takes a lot of time, that's why).

The timing of the proposal was the kicker for me. Like, out of all the times to propose to her, this is when he chooses to do so? When she's vulnerable and can't think straight and just went through a traumatic ordeal? And he still doesn't tell her about Hadley and Sophie-Anne? Ugh, that's so Bill.

re: making Sookie's non-humanness clear in this ep, well, then Eric's statement that he doesn't love humans still holds true, right? Because we've FIRMLY ESTABLISHED that she's not quite human.

Okay, sure, she'd still be making a power play even if Eric knew of Sookie's specialness, using Bill to make sure that Sookie was more tied to the Queen than to Eric. But it's still overkill. I dunno. It seemed strange to me.

I agree. It seems to imply some distrust of Eric, if you think about it.

I like that Bill has nothing to hold over Eric. His threats in the previous episode were pointless and stupid. Poorly played, Bill.

Note, he has nothing to hold over Eric BY BILL'S OWN DOING. He's the one who mentioned the blood in vamp earshot. He undercut himself with that one, all over a pissing contest with Eric that he lost anyway. ::shakes head::

she's still using Bill to get to Sookie, and Eric doesn't know that.

Are we sure he doesn't know that? I've been assuming he has a pretty good idea. Bill hasn't been very quiet about it.

Indeed it does.

Yep, which then makes me wonder why she would distrust him. I'm hesitant to believe that he did something to make her distrust him, since he's all about loyalty and he clearly enjoys his position and wouldn't knowingly do anything to fuck that up, and hell he sells V for Sophie-Anne and that's already a big no-no, so why wouldn't she trust him in this? I'm wondering if she's just being childish and playing Bill and Eric against each other because it amuses her.

Are we sure he doesn't know that? I've been assuming he has a pretty good idea. Bill hasn't been very quiet about it.Well, hopefully he's on his way to figuring it out now, if he hasn't already. I'm wondering, the Queen knows Sookie is not entirely human (I'm assuming Hadley told her Sookie could read minds, which automatically means non-human?), but does she know that Sookie is part Fey? Because when she warned ( ... )

Possibly. Or she doesn't trust him because she assumes he's after her position; why wouldn't he be?

the Queen knows Sookie is not entirely human (I'm assuming Hadley told her Sookie could read minds, which automatically means non-human?)

There seems to be a big leap in here. Telepath doesn't mean non-human, so I wonder if Bill cottoned on to her special snowflakeness and passed word along. It doesn't seem smart, but then you never know with Bill.

when she warned Eric off drinking Sookie's blood, it seemed to me like she was telling him not to drink because if he did she knew he'd be immediately intoxicated by Sookie's fey blood. Hrm.I got the same impression, though I imagine this is meant to be a bread-crumb for those who don't know where it's headed. I.e. people can look back and say, 'ah-ha! She wasn't just talking about Sookie tasting good, she actually had a deeper point there ( ... )

Do we know how long Eric's been a Sheriff of Area 5 (either in the books or on the show)? I guess it's just natural to distrust someone who's under you and could possibly overthrow you, though (if I recall correctly) the book!Eric we know is happy with his position and isn't looking to advance himself. But of course it might be different on the show.

She wasn't just talking about Sookie tasting good, she actually had a deeper point there.'But then the only way this really works is if Sophie-Anne already knows that Sookie is fey, which is what is throwing me off at the moment. How does she know? Perhaps Bill told her about the glowy thing and she figured it out herself. Or does he know, too? Does Eric? etc. I'm thinking, if she knows, wouldn't it be smarter not to be dropping hints ( ... )

LOL, he *is* like a kitten ;) I love his little fangs. (unlike Sophie-Anne's crazy buck-tooth monster fangs, which are just strange)

I thought the same thing about Sophie's fangs! LOL

I actually got a pair just like them at Walgreens!

It is really hard to take a picture w/fangs that doesn't look crazy.

about the brad bit,are you talking about the "very astute sir" bit?
i think it's not from the same scene but that was what came to mind when I red it.

i just love the cap where the queen opens her mouth and lets the fangs out to play,made me lol.

Yeah, the "very astute sir" bit is what I was thinking of - it happens after Nate's "we pet a burning dog" speech. Though, I have a feeling there's another scene where he does say "Thank you" in that same, tightly polite (but underneath still fuming at the other person) manner. Or maybe I just hallucinated it, I don't know, lol :)

Yeah, that cap makes me lol and lol, which is why I included it!
