True Blood - In The Beginning
Written by Brian Buckner
Directed by Michael Ruscio
Crazy episode but actually better than last week's one too.
Lilith is finally doing something with the plot and it was long overdue. Nice to see Salome, Nora and Russell forming a formidable threeway with Steve desperate to be the fourth member and Bill and Eric both at odds with the Lilith stuff too.
I can see Bill being seduced by it and Eric might have been too if Godric hadn't stepped in towards the end of the episode as well. Eric might have to be the hero of the hour when this whole humans vs. vampires war kicks off.
Good casting choice for Lilith too, hope we see a little more of her in the next few weeks.
I'm guessing Sookie is going to have to be persuaded not to waste her powers. She's unlikely to listen to Claude, so hiopefully Jason can talk some sense into her.
Now that Jesus's crazy granddad has been taken out, that frees up Lafayette for other storylines, right?
I hate Hoyt now for getting involved in that group of shifter/vampire killers and I have a horrible feeling that Bud is also involved with them as well. That bothers me.
Liked the scenes with Arlene/Terry's wedding video but was still bored by the Terry/Patrick/Fire Demon ones.
The Tara, Lettie Mae and Pam scenes were a delight in this episode but I hate seeing Tara dancing on the pole, even if she is a beautiful woman. That scene just felt all kinds of wrong in it's way.
Sam and Luna were fine enough in this episode, liked Martha protecting Emma/standing up to JD (just do one already) and the Alcide/Rikki training scene was fun too.
Jason and Jessica's moments were frustrating but I could see both viewpoints in this one as well.
Definitely one of the best we've had this season, 9/10.
