Another good episode.  I really like the new dynamic between Sookie, Bill, and Jessica. And call me a sucker but the whole little love connection between Jessica and Hoyt is cute as hell and I usually hate stuff like that.
I tell ya though, Hemsworth may make a great Thor but watching Alex Skarsgard play a viking instantly made me think that he would have made a great Thor.

Oh, yeah, and the dude who is playing Tara's boyfriend could definitely play a young Black Panther.

I totally agree with you pony, about Skarsgard.

I'm enjoying Jessica's character quite a bit but some of the intimacy between Bill and Sookie wore on me  this episode. I found myself rolling my eyes a few times waiting on the next scene. Can't place why, but it might be Sookies tone. Sometimes she seems infantile and self-righteous at the same time to me.

Hope we get some more flashbacks of Eric and Godric.

I'm starting to like the first season a lot more, this season is good, but every episode there is some corny ass love dialogue with Bill and Sookie. I think we all get it with Sookie and Bill, Alan Ball, there in love. I did like the viking scene, I just felt that Eric, for being human wasn't very human.

Of course, in the end, this was just another filler episode. Hopefully we'll start getting some actual answers. I do believe Maryann has an ultimate purpose for Tara and Eggs, I believe it has something to do with Tara's will, that Maryann is after. I'd be willing to bet Daphne is the pig, but I could be wrong, either way she has to be an agent of Maryann. I also believe the fellowship is only adoring Jason to get to Sookie, except for Sarah, she knows the truth and will reveal it to Jason.

The episode wasn't bad, I just hope that the remainder of the season will lay off their weekly love scene with Bill and Sookie. Personally I can't stand Anna, it could also be the character's traits aswell that make me dislike her more, but the rest of the cast is very good.

I liked the episode.  I didfind the short haired Viking warriors with only beard stubble to be a bit off putting.  From my understanding of Norse culture, a warrior would not shave their beard. 

Nit picking aside, I don't think the Fellowship is using Jason to get to Sookie.  If they had that kind of in depth knowledge of the Stackhouse clan, the kidnapper would have had better information, like a description of Sookie.  I think they are setting Jason up as a patsy for when they start assassinating prominent vampires.  

I didn't dig this episode outside of the meeting between Louisiana and Texas vampires.  Also, I expected Godric to be a bad ass, he looked like a little bitch when they showed him.  Maybe his modern version will be better.

Those are some great rewards Sarah gives out.  Where can I sign in for one?

Did anyone else notice the Nazi salute Jason made after he jumped the fence?

I don't think that they are setting him up. I think that the are honestly preparing him to be some sort of vampire killer for when they do start striking at them.
 

And unfortunately, since vampires don't age, Godric will most likely still look like a little bitch, but with an Armani suit.

I agree about all the lovey dovey with Bill and Sookie, but my guess they want to show them happy now, so when it all falls apart we get a comparison,

I think the only reason Sam hasn't asked about her scars is the same reason anybody wouldn't ask about somebody's scars in real life.  I mean if you saw a burn victim, even if you want to know, you're not going to inquire about it.  And by the look on Sam's face everytime he sees them you know he wants to but he doesn't - that's the way it is in real life unless you are out of your mind curious and rude.  Something like that you let the person with the "affliction" bring it up if they want to. I'd see him asking if he had known what happened to Sookie but he doesn't. That's been my reasoning for him not asking.

I don't know but I migt be wrong but have you noticed you don't see Eggs or Maryann's man servant around at the same time?  Hmmm?  Maybe they are the same person - if they are shapeshifters are what not.  I dunno.

What's the deal with the female vampire at the end?  I can't seem to remember her from anywhere.

And I didn't think Godric looked like a pussy - I think he was pretty bad asses.  I bet they don't have him dressed in a suit.  I think they're going to do something that accents his "warrior" tribal tattoos or something.  We'll see.  The thing that makes me think he's bad ass, by the way, isn't the way he looks in particular, it's just that I don't think he looks like a pussy, is the way he talked to Eric about how much of a warrior he was, which means that there's probably going to be some bad ass fighting coming up soon.

Well Godric probably is a bad ass but  he didn't look the part.  He looked  too youngish in my opinion. 

MrJaw - If I remember correctly, when Maryanne goes to Sookie's house to throw the party, both her manservant and Eggs where there with her.

Also, it looks that vampire at the end was Bill's maker.  Not sure though.
