Strong lead-in episode. Just got done watching it. Like the hints of things to come. Personally, I think Maryann is a witch, or enchanter of old. Could be a transmuter. There are some hints. The public nocturnal nudity with a large pig(anyone remember Circe from The Odyssey?), the symbology, the Pan mural...who knows maybe a incarnation of a god/goddess. Hopefully not a werewolf...too predictable.
PS. Damn...Sookie's hot!
Great episode ! As for what MaryAnn is I do believe Mr.Big is right , something to do with Circe from the Oddessy who turned half the hero's men into pigs after stuffing them with food and wine. Greek art , painting , etc decorates her house , so thats what I am guessing its all about. Lastly , great twist with it not being Lafayette in the back of the char , he's one of my favorite chars on the show.
I love this show. Adult themed Vampire movie is a great idea. T&A and hardcore violence. Of course they get their quota in just as the ep ends but still a solid series. Bill rulz!
LOVE this show and the 1st episode didnt dissapoint 1 bit. Really liked seeing Skarsgard go BALISTIC on the bigots ass in the pit. Watching him rip him apart was coo (just wished they showed more...but its all good! Yes Anna Paquin's body is nice...she is looking different this season and im loving it..making her look more mature..very hot! :) Cant wait till sunday! :)
Although I like this show, the premise is fascinating and really well done, I just wish they would give these actors some training with real accents. They all sound like they are hollywood actors trying to do a terrible Georgian accent. I'm from southern Louisiana and am a coon-ass and we don't talk like that. The only guy that was half decent turned out to be a serial killer. That is my only complaint. I know most people don't notice/care about it, but being from cajun country it really annoys me sha!
LAFAYETTE LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That alone warrants the episode to be an A plus plus.
Alan Ball knew Lafayette was too awesome to die like he did in the book so he brought him back. Props to you sir.
Marianne in the book was a Maenad or something like that.
Of course Ball would want Lafayette to stay around. It's whatever for me, although it'll kind of ruin plot threads for me if he'll ever be involved, when he shouldn't have been. We'll see though.
Love the show at any rate. I thought this episode was just ok. It was a re-establishing episode, and still had a few good moments to keep me entertained. I keep hearing from critics, buzz, etc. that the next three episodes are going to be fast paced, or at least very fun.
I always hear people from the south complain about the accents...yet it sounds decent enough from what I (a northerner) hear, compared to real life news reports, visitors from the south, etc. I'm from Philadelphia, and I have absolutely no idea what the Philadelphian accent sounds like exactly. In A History of Violence, I didn't even notice that Viggo switches to a Philly Accent when going to visit his brother until I head it from Cronenberg in the commentary. Perhaps the Southener's having a problem with the accents in this show is because they're not aware of it so much since they live there and are surrounded by it 24/7?
The problem with the accents is "Southern" accents and Louisiana "Cajun" accents are totally different. The problem is Hollywood producers, actors and directors don't care to learn the difference. If you want them doing southern accents place the show in Tennessee or something. I just think is loses the appeal of the Bayou.
Yeah, that's true. And you're right, the killer of season 1 was the only one that had one, and he was faking it at that lol.

Enjoyed the episode.
I wonder what Maryann is. A warewolf? Could she be any animal she wanted? Was the giant pig her Butler? She's recruiting Tara and her boyfriend, or just Tara. The online preview shows somebody already IS a warewolf. Jason mentioned he could only be a dog, and that warewolves are rare. Do vamps know about them yet?
They might go "Underworld" on us soon
