Not quite as good as last weeks episode but still solid. I really didn't care for Jason Stackhouse in season one but since he got paired up with Andy Bellefleur it's turned into comedy gold. They really make an odd yet great team. It's like the blind leading the blind.

Also I have to disagree with you on who had the best line this episode.

Lafayette: This has got to be the worst motherf**king intervention in history

Sam Jackson would be proud!

IT's funny alot of the queestions I had about Eric and Bill's vampire blood that I had asked previously were answered in this episode.  That whole all supernatural being created themselves thing didn't seem to make sense to me. And that she's immortal because she believes she's immortal thing just seemed stupid to me. Well I believe I'm Superman but I still can't fly like Eric! BTW WTF happened to Evan Rachel Wood? Wasn't she good looking like a year ago? Who hits the wall that fast and that young?

I was surprisingly dissappointed with this episode. The Queen was boring and uninspired. Ususally I'm a fan of Ms. Wood but she was very superficial for being a "Queen" of Vampires. Best scene goes to Eric and his talk with the children. More to come there>? So where are the rest of the town's children BTW??? Also, the whole "belief" system of Maryann seemed weak at first but makes some sense. Maryann's power seemed to grow as more and more followers fell into her trance. So in theory, if the heroes cut off that link somehow, would she lose power and weaken?? Hmmm We'll have to see in TWO weeks....grumble grumble,,,

I think the two most important things this episode was the Tara/Maryanne revelation and the explanation of what Maryanne is.   I didn't think the Maryanne explanation made sense though, didn't like it.  Didn't like this episode all that much but it moved everyone into position for the finale.

My fave line this ep was when Lafayette and Sookie were talking about Eric and Lafayette says "Somebody needs to slap that bitch."

In the book, the queen was a 15 year old Bi-sexual girl.  I understand casting her a bit older than 15, but then they just drop in your lap that Sookies' cousin Hattie is living with the queen.  They don't develop that at all, nor explain any of the back story there.  Like how Bill was actually sent to meet Sookie because Hattie told the queen about her cousins telepathy.

In the book, Bill got rid of Maryanne by giving her a cow.  She took the offering and went away. Maryanne is quite a bitmore interesting in the TV version.

Eric RE: Chlidren "they are delicious".

Hanso and Chopsaki,

I agree - those were great lines! Lafeyette always delivers as well. Can't wait for the finale - two weeks seems like two years.

Yeah, I`m not sure I liked the Queen either. She was such a huge contrast to Godric, which I guess might have been partly the point but she kind of annoyed me. Sookie's cousin being there was just strange and felt out of place. Not so much her being there but just the way they just have her pop up in the situation without any explanation.
Jason and Andy are funny as hell. They are just plain dumb. I thought Jason might show a little more sense after his ordeal but I guess not.
What the fuck is up with the egg? And I feel sorry for poor Jessica. Yes, she bit his Mom, but she's a crazy bitch and deserved it. He turned on her too fast after supposedly being in love with her.
Lafayette and Eric always have the best lines. Is flying something you learn with age or is it just that some vamps can fly and others can't?

Ya good point about sookies cousin, that was a wtf moment for me. I think thats what happens when you only have 12 episode seasons. But on the other hand you don't have many filler episodes that don't advance the storyline in a meaningful way. It's a trade off I guess.

I can't wait for this season to come out on DVD so I can catch up on it!
