True Blood 3x06

[sherrilina]

Well after a long delay thanks to arriving late home Sunday night from a trip and then having the power knocked out until Tuesday thanks to a stupid storm, and being busy Tuesday night, I only got a chance to watch the most recent TB episode last night, and had some thoughts about it....

(plus GROSS and also there's an axe right there, WTF?!)

RIGHT?? LOL That's exactly what I said! I would've went for the ax and just cut his head off LOL I'm going to miss Franklin's crazy though :(

I actually liked Tara in this episode because of the fact that she was being a BAMF for once. I usually don't like her.

I was just as happy to see something happen with the Sam/Family storyline because it was starting to get old, but now that they're finally getting into it, I'm liking it better.

I was sooo upset about how Eric was acting toward Sookie. I really hope it was an act because they were headed toward where I wanted them to go, and like you said, they just took 2 steps back.

The Lorena thing was really good for me because I've always HATED her character but seeing her genuinely upset for having to hurt Bill, it made me sympathize with her a little for once.

I, too, like this season a lot better than the last. I despised the Maryann storyline and couldn't wait for it to be over.

Oh, I don't think we've seen the end of Franklin...I feel there may be a reason the writers had her only bash his head in (which he *might* still be able to recover from?) rather than fatally behead him....or I hope so, because I will miss Franklin's crazy as well!

And I used to like Tara in season 1, then disliked her/found her so irritating in season 2, and in the beginning of season 3, but now she is growing on me...I loved her "I can't eat flowers!" scene last week, and she was badass and seemed to have more of her old spark in her in the recent epp. But ew, the blood the blood...I think it made me enjoy her parts less! :( (It's really trying, to find blood squicky when all your favorite TV shows are horror! :p)

And yeah, I was already ready for Maryann to be done in season 1! :(

Tara biting Franklin was revolting and made me want to wear a turtleneck for a month so nobody could get to my neck. And the head bashing was... conflicting. I wanted to cheer her on for being a badass, but I was also kind of sad :( I really like Franklin as a character, as messed up as he is.

I think the strange E/S and B/S dynamic might have been because Alan Ball wrote the episode. He tends to write E/S really weird, imo. Although I don't know if Eric was acting as much as he was trying to convince himself.

And I've got my hopes up for that scene from the book involving the car. That needs to happen, as awful as it is.

I'm really enjoying this season so far, and it gets better every week.

Yeah, for whatever reason I've always been particularly sensitive about necks and squicked out by injuries to them (well besides just normal vampire biting)--like I had trouble handling "Sweeney Todd"....just, ew! :s I know what you mean about Franklin, he's a sick bastard but I still love him and his adorably craziness...:(

And yeah, when I heard that Ball had written the episode I wondered if that might indeed explain the "three steps back" for E/S and "two steps forward" for B/S, not to mention Bill's uber-heroics, given Ball's inexplicable (to me at least, after reading the books) BEEL bias...a bias that makes me fear that car scene won't happen....*sigh* Though it does need to, at this point, especially thanks to how Ball has portrayed him...

I didn't think vampires could be killed that way...I thought they had to be staked, set on fire or have their head cut off, so you may be right. It wouldn't surprise me.
