True Blood: Is Santa Real Too?

True Blood: Is Santa Real Too?

Posted by Dustin on 06.22.2010 at 12:20 pm

So Jason is back with his amazing show making lines! Best line of the show? After Sookie told him werewolves were also real he wondered not only inf Bigfoot was real, but Santa too. Second runner up? When Sookie said she had been expecting Bill to walk through the door at any moment saying “Sooooooooooooooookie!”

A good episode, with a lot of new characters introduced. A few mentions of the books are in this post which may be spoilers. I have them to read still, but a friend who has read them tells me stuff that is different in the books 🙂

So the King of Mississippi has a band of werewolves working for him? From what a friend has told me, Lorena is the one who had the King kidnap Bill for her. Also the werewolves aren’t just ordinary wolves, as Eric explained these are a pack of highly organized and funded wolves that go back a long time (Eric dealt with them during World War II). It sounds like the King of Mississippi is behind them? I’m not sure though.

Sam and Lafeyette’s stories are complete departures from the books, from what I can tell and a friend told me. I actually am loving Alfre Woodard as Lafeyette’s crazy mother. Between her and Tara’s mother, that family has some issues! Sam meanwhile met his birth parents and his little brother. We learned Sam’s dad was in jail and the mom was broke, so she gave Sam up thinking the other family would do better, and praying he wouldn’t have the gift. She’s a shifter, the dad isn’t. Sam’s brother Tommy can shift as well. I wasn’t a big fan of this story. Oh and I know Sam’s family is supposed to be poor white trash and all, but have they heard of soap? The dad needs to wash those nasty tighty-whities he had on! That was all I could think about when he was shown. Also put on some clothes!

At some point we saw someone looking at a file on Sookie’s family line. Who was it? (Did I miss the reveal?) I do know again from friends that in the books Bill was in part sent to Bon Temps by the Queen to meet Sookie. They hinted as much in this episode with the King questioning Bill as to why the Queen sent him to Bon Temps in the first place.

Tara met a vampire named Franklin at the bar, who seems to have taken a liking to her and went out of his way to save her from some roughnecks. The previews seem to show them getting pretty hot and heavy. I have to wonder what he wants though? Is he the one with the file on Sookie? Trying to get to Sookie through her friend perhaps?

Jessica spent the episode trying to figure out how to dispose of the rotting corpse in her basement, only to find it gone by the end of the show. My guess is Hoyt has disposed of it.

The Andy and Jason story is getting on my nerves. Andy is being given the hero’s treatment for killing Eggs, who everyone thinks was fully responsible for Maryanne’s doings. Jason’s guilt is still getting to him, but Andy keeps telling him that he’ll go to jail for murder if he confesses. So let me get this right, Jason will go to jail for killing a killer who was about to kill a police officer? Either this story is stupid, or it’s just Jason who is stupid and Andy is doing this to get all the fame and glory.

Make the jump for the spoilers for July! (Note: it looks like there is no new “True Blood” on the July 4th weekend.

Oh before you do that, HBO announced that “True Blood” will get a 4th season next summer. Yeah, I don’t think anyone is surprised about that one 🙂

9 Crimes – July 11th
Sookie (Anna Paquin) joins Alcide (Joe Manganiello) at a raucous engagement party for Debbie Pelt (Brit Morgan), his former fiancée; Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) is given a deadline to locate Bill (Stephen Moyer); Andy (Chris Bauer) gets a promotion and draws Jason’s (Ryan Kwanten) attention; Franklin (James Frain) takes Tara (Rutina Wesley) on a road trip; Arlene (Carrie Preston) is irked by Jessica’s (Deborah Ann Woll) arrival at Merlotte’s; Sam (Sam Trammell) brokers a deal with Tommy (Marshall Allman) and his parents, Melinda (J. Smith Cameron) and Joe Lee (Cooper Huckabee); Bill “procures” dinner for Russell (Denis O’Hare) and Lorena (Mariana Klaveno).

Trouble – July 18th
Alcide and Sookie turn to an alpha-wolf “packmaster” for advice on dealing with Russell’s minions; Tara considers a proposal from Franklin, who’s completed his mission for Russell; Joe Lee breaks his promise to Sam and Tommy; Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) learns the meaning of patience from Jesus (Kevin Alejandro), his mother’s (Alfre Woodard) orderly; Jason meets his match in the mysterious girl Crystal (Lindsay Pulsipher); an heirloom reminds Eric of his past and his ongoing thirst for vengeance.

  1. Yes, I loved when Sookie was waiting for Bill to walk and in and say “Sookeh!”

    What’s up with the girl Jason saw outside the meth lab house?

    I’m a bit confused (and forgetful). I think it was Franklin looking at the files of Sookie. They panned in on his boots, and I think he was wearing those boots when he met Tara at Merlotte’s (but I could be mistaken). But the boots shown looked like the boots Sookie found (from the werewolf), so I’m confused. Maybe Franklin is a vampire/werewolf combination? I think I need to watch the show again.

    It seemed as if Tommy was luring Sam out onto the road intentionally to be run over by the oncoming vehicle.

    Loving Pam!

  2. Yeah I wasn’t sure what the boot point was, unless it was to say he too was outside Sookie’s house. But Franklin didn’t look like that other guy?

    The Methlab people are a new breed of mythical creatures 🙂 The girl is that older guys niece and becomes involved with Jason. I think her name is Crystal.

  3. If I u read this I’m going off the book so these may or may not be spoilers.

    In the books the king of mississippi also has bill kidnapped bc of a project he is working on for the queen. Its kind of complicated to explain why its so valuable unless you read the books but he’s making a database of all the vampires. Also in the books franklin has nothing to do with the kidnapping storyline so I wonder if they’re changing that whole part around. He appears bc of someone that died in the past. Won’t spoil it and say who though. Also if they follow the books crystal and the place where she lives, hot shot, become very important for the rest of the books thus far. Won’t spoil that though 🙂
