What I don't get about True Blood is how everyone thought that the second season was so good. Maryanne was terrible, and everyone sat through 6 episodes of Tara getting mad, then hypnotized, then mad, then hypnotized and everyone had sex, and nobody complained. Now that the plot is actually moving forward in unpredictable ways, everyone is complaining.

This episode was easily an A. The best episode this season so far and one of the best of the entire series. I sort of agree with the poster above me. I was annoyed by Maryanne, but I still liked season 2. The highlight of season 2 was Godric and Eric.

I disagree with the reviews of this season.  I am enjoying the main story so far and wow does Eric really shine this week....this guy can act!  I would love to see him in a superhero or villain role someday.

The side stories are so far mundane....there is something different about Jason's little redneck girlfriend, but do I care?  Not really.  What is funny though is she reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry dates a girl that only looks attractive in certain light...anyone else notice how one second she looks cute, then the next camera angle she looks ugly as hell?  Also Sam's story this season is very annoying to me, but all of this is definitely made up for with the main plot.

Due to the amazing scene's with both Eric and the Queen, as well as Bill's torture scene, I would give this weeks episode an A (minus)

This episode was defnitely an A. The scene with Bill and his maker was pretty powerful. The only subplot of the show I think they are screwing up is with Jason. This whole thing about him trying to be a cop and messing with the new HS quarterback is just boring. I am interested to see who  type of creature that girl is though, if any.

 I think what I'm not liking about this season so far is the fact they're running 5 to 6 plots per episode.  It destroys the coherency of the episode.  Makes it harder to get invested in any one thing that's happening.  This episode was a lot better because it focused a lot more on what was happening in Mississippi.

Not sure why Rob is soo dissapointed with True Blood?!? its been great i think. Its all a build up for a big payoff and we are getting fed a little more each week, thats how you get people to keep watching. You cant blow ur load every week. Cant wait to see the fight between Eric and the King! You know hes going to whip his @ss! And i totally agree with ponyboy about the scenes with Bill and his maker, very powerful stuff i think. Ponyboy i think that girl that Jason is obsessed with is a werewolf. Remember when he said she was burning hot? Well thats what sookie said about the werewolf that is protecting her when they were about to be fed that V. They prolly get hot when they are excited, not to mentionshe was int he woods when he 1st saw her. Just my guess.

And the were-girl's boyfriend had all those bruises on his face, so that looks like that's going to dovetail into the Merlot shifter dog fights. I'm enjoying it more than last season. Tara is much better when she's feisty, and the escape from the house feeds into that. I wonder how her would be lover is going to recover from having his head bashed in. He wasn't sane before... She should have gone with the axe! Only way to be sure for vamps if you don't have a pointy bit of wood handy. Eric's smiles are freaking me out! Jessica is fun, watching her figure out her place in this new world. Seeing Don Swayze in something is fun too, even if it does take me out of the programme for a couple of secs every time I see him.

I'm tired of Jason's character altogether. Jessica's small parts are the highlight for me this season so far. Not sure what that says. Next episode looks to be exciting

Well the boyfriend had bruises on his face DODGY becasue he got his ass beat up by Layfeyette the night before. They live in that junk yeard where Layfeyette and Eric were at selling the V. I used to hate Tara, but after she caved in the crazy vampires head with the mace, she has my vote as cool! :)

Other than Lafayette who has had some up and down moments this season I am enjoying this season so much more than last. The last two episodes were definitely A grades for me.
