shadowkatVery little to say here. Gotta go to bed and tummy is a mess again.
*Best parts of the episode outside of the theme music and score (got to hand it to HBO they really do score/handle the music on their series well):
1)the first 20 minutes or the Marnie possession 2)how Tara/Sookie and Holly defeated her, 3)the confrontation between Bill/Eric and Nan (although would have preferred Nan to survive, Nan was funny.) and 4) I was relieved that Sookie decided not to go with either vamp, because boring (find Bill and Eric more interesting when they aren't drooling over Sookie) - she'll probably end up with Alcide. Which is equally boring. (I don't like Sookie very much, can't you tell? All three men can do a lot better. Must be that damn fairy blood.)
*Tara pushed Sookie out of the way of Debbie Pelt's bullet and got shot instead. Why?? Why did you do that Tara?? Why??
I'm pretty sure that the idiotic writers just killed off my favorite character (does not help that she was also the only character I really gave a fig about and I really don't see much point in watching the show now that she's dead.)
* I probably should mention that King Russell is back, the Fellowship Guy appears to be a vampire coming after Jason, and Eric/Bill united against Nan and killed her - because she knew about Sookie.
* I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I really do share Pam's sentiments...I'm so over Sookie. The girl with the stupid name. And the whiny voice. What do people see in her?
*I want my Tara back. When Tara was in the room Sookie, Jason, and Sam were more interesting. Same with Lafayette. Otherwise there really is no point in watching, except maybe to see what King Russell does (will he kill Sookie?) or for that matter Eric/Pam/Bill do, or how Lafayette handles his new found power without either Tara or Jesus to ground him.
Really wish Tara had stayed in New Orleans, then at least she could visit.
[As an aside, is it just me or does it feel a bit tacky to anyone else that they have only two black characters in this series, both clearly token characters that weren't really in the books, and they kill off one of them to save the blond heroine and further her emotional arc. Add to that the one they kill off is a tough, kick-ass, human female, who only this year started a lesbian relationship. Which would be fine and dandy, if they aren't at the same time in various episodes making satirical jokes about the Civil Rights Movement and comparing Vampires to disenfranchised persons of color. It's tacky. And a little obvious. Making me wonder a great deal about these writers. Can they really be THAT oblivious?]

She was mostly on the outside commenting on how messed up Marnie was acting and she still had her emotional connection to Sookie intact (despite it being baffling that Tara still cares after some of what Sookie's done).
Ugh. This show just makes me want to quit it. But I kinda want to keep watching if only because it's still somewhat amusing. Especially now that they've brought back Russel. But yeah, I miss the emotional weight from Season 2 -- I loved the Godric storyline and the Eric/Godric relationship.
