I admit I screamed and nearly jumped out of my skin at the end. Thank god she's not "dead" dead. Yeah, like that would ever happen. She is going to be one pissed of newbie, that is for sure. Speaking of newbies... Steve Newland (or whatever). I was laughing so hard. Just kind of crack are the writers smoking?! Riiiight. So out of character for him. But the actor played it so well!

And I am SO FUCKING GLAD Lala shaved his head.

Is Jesus a zombie now?

And sweet fucking Lola (I have no idea where that came from) the mother were ATE her son?! The fuck is that about?

I want to see Russel NOW.

I still LOVE Pam!

Best part of the episode: Steve Newlin confessing his love for Jason. OMG, they had me in stitches. Even my boyfriend, who doesn't watch TB but was in the room, started cracking up. That was the sweetest, most earnest love confession ever. He doesn't deal with rejection well, either, hahahaha.

Pam is still my favorite character for ever and ever, amen. "I'm wearing a Walmart sweat suit for you, I think I'm being a team player!"

Also I'm so fucking sick of the Luna and Sam storyline. The only interesting thing that happened was the werewolves having to eat the body of their dead pack leader, which was pretty shocking. Other than that it was really predictable and boring.

If Tara's all there in the head she is going to be pissed. I really hope she isn't just a brain-dead frankenvamp. She was such a badass and now she's been torn down so many times; she really deserves better from the writers

[musicbitch]

Yes, I am in complete agreement.

Fun to jump right back in, but like last season, still too many storylines. They could lose Sam/Luna and Andy/Holly and the whole Terry storylines. Would be able to get a better focus for the season. It's nice to have these cool side characters, but they don't need so much attention given to them in each episode. I don't mind the vampire politics, and the were politics...but boy they need to trim some of the other stuff...

Eric was pretty sickening with the "Fuck Sookie" after she just had saved his life.

[ahkna]

I'm quite pleased with this. I might actually like Eric if they have him being like this for the season.

[ahli]

Me too! I loved the "sister"-fucking. it was hilariously played AND hot. Bill and Eric as allies is WAY more fun and interesting than having them fight over Sookie.

They so turn up the bromance for this first episode.
