Eric, my big bullshitter
First... this is my 600th post, wtf?
And now, my first regurgitation of thoughts re: the finale. SPOILERS!
1. Ken Tucker at ew.com already has his review up for the episode. "Eric was relegated to one significant but early scene, playing Yahtzee with Sophie-Ann. When viewed in the same frame, Alexander Skarsgard’s sly subtlety only made Evan Rachel Wood’s archness seem more like over-acting, and the Yahtzee jokes (”We play to five million”) were strained this time around."
MOTHERFUCKING YES, OMG OMG OMG! Even Momma Chem, who is still at the beginning of season 1 was all: Even when he's being bitch-slapped by the Queen, he's fun. But OMFG, that actress is horrible. &hearts Momma Chem I will give props, though, for at least showing us that the Queen CAN be ruthless. Just get ERW some acting lessons, plzthx.
2. WHY IN THE FUCKING FUCK WAS ERIC ONLY IN ONE SCENE??? AND WHERE WAS PAM? AND WHY WAS SOPHIE-ANN NOT STAKED FOR THAT "SORRY ABOUT YOUR MAKER" BULLSHIT? I AM MORE INTRIGUED BY THE V STORYLINE, THOUGH. AND WHAT IT'S GOING TO MEAN FOR FUTURE ERIC AND LAFAYETTE INTERACTIONS (BUT I DON'T SHIP THEM, M'KAY?)
3. Eggs could not have bored me more this whole entire season. The best part? When Jason shot his motherfucking ass. Me? I am particularly delighted with the parallels between last season when Andy was convinced Jason was capable of murdering his own girlfriends IN COLD BLOOD. And now he helps cover up for Jason when Jason actually DOES murder someone. These two are totes gonna be BFFs. (BTW, this was totally my second favorite part of the episode, ngl.)
4. Charlaine Harris cameo in the bar is how you do the obligatory author cameo, STEPHENIE MEYER.
5. BOOK SPOILER!!!
I really fucking hope that they aren't going to try to make Sam somehow a relative of Debbie Pelt. My first complaint with the books was how long her storyline was dragged out. She should've been a one-and-done. Ugh.
6. ARE THEY ACTUALLY GOING TO FOLLOW THE THIRD BOOK WITH THE IDENTITY OF THE KIDNAPPER OR ARE THEY GOING TO FUCK OVER THE MOST INTERESTING ASPECT OF THIS SHOW BECAUSE ALAN BALL IS STUCK PARROTING THE BULLSHIT ABOUT WHO IS THE HERO AND WHO IS THE VILLAIN?
7. Maryanne finally GTFO. About time Sam had something go right for him. And I got more than a little sad when he was watching the deer in Sookie's yard. Oh, Sam Merlotte! Maybe next season will be kinder to you.
8. I threw my keys and my phone in BLOODY RIGHTEOUS ANGER at that whole final scene, until Sookie said that she couldn't say yes right away. I was chanting and clapping and then yelling and then flailing and then LAUGHING. The previous post was Momma Chem doing what Sookie should've said. (How much do I LOVE that Momma Chem is already calling Bill "Beeeeeeeeeeeel"?)
9. Coby, Arlene's son, is totally in the Eric Northman Fan Club. As soon as he can drive, that kid is going to be in Fangtasia EVERY NIGHT vying to get nibbled by the Viking. &hearts &hearts &hearts
10. WHY DON'T YOU BREAK MY HEART, JESSICA AND HOYT! Let's demonstrate, yet again, how much Bill sucks at being a maker. Jessica, please go and see Aunt Pam. Now!
11. The entire denouement that was the second-half of the episode only highlighted how much of an editorial mistake it was for the Dallas storyline to not be the season arc. Think about how much more awesome the finale would have been if the season had ended with Godric meeting the sun. I liken the decision to use Maryanne in this way to making The Initiative the Big Bad in season 4 of Buffy. We all know how THAT turned out. *eyeroll*
